Un Finished Playmobil!
« on: December 23, 2010, 04:53:32 »
Look was playing around with some parts and I noticed something strange.  :hmm: I took a look at a baby stroller from the set 4850. I noticed some thing kind of unusual. The stroller was un-finished! Instead of it having curved handles, they handle just ended! Look at the pics!

The stroller's handles are suppose to be curved.

I've seen this happen to some new parts also, bw! Some times it seems that the plastic doesn't fill the mold completely causing a deformed end.

I agree with Bill.. I've seen it happen a few times too! Especially on leg boots...

mmm I've never seen something like this.
You guys might be right, but why PM would take out into the market something like this?
I was thinking.....Could this be deformed by heat? Did you get it like that from the box or it had a previous owner?  :xholly:

I think it's just where quality control has failed - it should have been spotted and pulled out of the production line and binned for recycling.

I got it from a brand new set Tonguello. So it was made wrong from factory.
