Looks fake to me.

Looking at the accesoires gives it away considering that the skateboard marty holds can't be used to stand on, willy wonka's staff would not fit properly in the hand and they wouldnt make the hat stand like that.

Also most of the media used for this is stuff playmobil would not want to associate the brand with since its unsuitable for children.

Unless they want to go a step beyond super 4 and ruin their brandname further with cheap knock offs produced by themselves.

Exactly!

I was thinking fake too... Or a blatant shameless copy.

I dearly hope it's just a hoax...I can never believe Playmobil would let them bring out a "zombie with a screwdriver in his eye" figure...   :-\

Based on the number of licenses they would have to pay for, I seriously doubt this to be true

Could  it be possible they are knock off and they are real? That would be lame in my opinion and if so geobra should legally intervene... Unless they infact want it  ???


As soon as some one finds out at the pcc please share info  :wow:

It is possible that Funko is subcontracting playmobil to make these figures to sell under the funko brand as they do all kind of licensed toys. If so, we won't find out from the pcc until after it is officially announced by their corporate partner. ... dollars and cents speaking, this would be a good way for playmobil to get into licenses... funko bears the entire expense and playmobil gets paid upfront for the product. Not saying they are real... but it is possible.
