Title: Getting my money's worth
Post by: skypurr on April 27, 2012, 20:14:08
I've had a very busy week so now that it's over I decided to go to my favourite shop and treat myself by feeling a few fi?ures :)
I managed to find five that I was looking for, but with one bag I couldn't work out what it was but thought it had a helmet for one fi?ure that I didn't have so bought it anyway.
When I opened it I realised why I couldn't tell what it was ... this is what was in the one bag...

I certainly got my money's worth :lol:  ;D ;D

Really, all this in one bag  :hmm: it looks like you are just missing one head and one shoulder pad to make 2 klickies , this takes the cake on quality control  <:>

And a shoulder pad!   ;D

Did you also notice that I got six cuffs?

I once got a princess that was missing a torso and an arm   :'( so this goes towards making up for that  :lol:

Well, maybe she'd like a red white and blue torso and a blue arm! :lol:

I'd write to Playmobil and complain that you are missing 1 head and shoulder pad piece :P

Damo :)

Have not got a bag with that many extras. I have however found several bags with extra parts and even had a missing arm with the alien. He came with a hand but no arm.

What do just the hands look like? I thought that it wasn't possible to remove them from the arms. :-\

I noticed that! :) And speaking of them, are they different than the normal ones? They look a little pointy on the upper-arm side. Is that just the angle of the picture?

When I get a chance, I will take a pic.

Cool, thanks. ;)

That's interesting. I wonder if the hands could be swapped then... Thanks for the picture!

Not without heat or something right?

This will need to go BEYOND "normal poppin'"...

the arm is molded on top of the hand, it is either in one or two steps. They are not popped in after their creation so getting them apart is damaging. I thought they molded in one pass with diffrent drying agents or consistency plastic. I want to see the day the whole klicky is molded in one pass.  :**: leave it to the Germans and they will figure it out soon enough  ;)

How would a hand by itself find its way into a bag being sealed for shipment?

IDK Ras. I have bought a box of each series and there are many extra pieces. Kinda makes the weighing it out thing inaccurate.

Yes, with all of these more significant part differences, it would appear that all of the theories as to how they package the figures are only rumours. :lol: Maybe they will show us the packaging line some day.
