DC Kinder Playmobil in the UK

[tiger1983uk]

Hello
The Kinder Surprise Eggs with the tiny Playmobil Superheroes are available in the UK.
I found them in my local Tesco, you can get them singularly or in packs of 3, but be careful I haven't bought many(yet), but have found the duplicate rate very high and still haven't found Superman!

Are these full size and fully  jointed?

Incredible!  I hope they make it out to the USA too.

There's 2 different sizes

The large / adult size ones I haven't seen in person yet, so I can't give info on them, but i believe there's only 4 klickys - Superman Batman, Flash & Wonder Woman.  I believe they come in larger eggs.

The 16 klickys are small / kid size & they consist of:
Batman
Robin
The Joker
Harley Quinn*
The Riddler
Batgirl*
Catwoman
Aquaman*
Mera
Black Adam
The Flash
Green Lantern
Wonder Woman
Cyborg
Superman
Supergirl*

The smaller / kid size have articulated points at the neck & arms, but not the waist - they come in 2 parts (to fit in the plastic egg that is inside the chocolate egg) - the head & upper torso is one part, the other part is below the waist & legs & it snaps into place.

I've only got 4 so far (* are the ones i got), someone picked some up for me from Sainsbury's & I got a box of 3, & an individual egg. My local Tesco is only a small branch & they haven't had any yet.

This might explain the lack of female torsos on the female figures.

Yup!

I got some more today, but ended up with a lot of duplicates.
In total I've bought 25 - 4 boxes (3 eggs in each) - they were £2.80 each, & 13 individual (£1.25 each, 90p with Nectar card) & I've got:

6 x Aquaman
5 x Black Adam
4 x Harley Quinn
3 x Batgirl
2 x Flash
2 x Supergirl
1 x Batman
1 x Catwoman
1 x Cyborg

Not sure if this is representitive of the ones that are more common, or if i was just unlucky ending up with so many Aquaman & Black Adams. 

(didn't get Joker, Riddler, Robin, Mera, Wonder Woman, Superman & Green Lantern).

I feel like I had less variation from the boxes of 3.  Out of the 12 in these I only got 7 characters - 4 Aquaman, 3 Black Adam, 2 Supergirl,, 1 Flash, 1 Harley, 1 Batgirl

With the individual figures (13) I got 8 characters - 3 x Harley, 2 Batgirl, 2 Black Adam, 2 Aquaman, 1 Flash, 1 Cyborg, 1 Batman, 1 Catwoman

I've ended buying another 5 on the secondary market (Joker - who I REALLY wanted & hoped to find in the ones I bought, Riddler, Robin, Mera & Wonder Woman), but once they arrive will still be missing Superman & Green Lantern.

I'll attach some quick photos I took the other day to show what they're like

Thanks for the photos and details of your 'hit rate.'
It is good to see more details of the figures, though the quality looks shockingly poor (about right for Kinder surprise though). Are these endorsed by Playmobil or merely lookee-likees? It doesn't look as if the hair is detachable, even.

The packaging is branded Playmobil, making it as astonishing mis-step if the aim was to introduce the brand to people who wouldn't otherwise have come across it (I suppose within mainland Europe this is less of an issue and people may make the 'discount' for it being in a Kinder surprise egg).

As Oliver has already said, yep, they're official Playmobil (I photographed the back to show the logo in the indented section down their spine) + DC & Playmobil is all over the packaging. 

I don't think the hair or masks (on the ones with masks) are detachable.

Maybe it's because I'm a big comic book fan & worked in a comic book shop for a big chunk of my 20's, but I think they're really cool & I'm sure other DC fans will be loving them too      they have so many neat details that I think are new to the Playmobil kids (hair styles) & character specific details that are really fun like the scale detail on Aquaman's torso & fins on the back of his legs & side of his arms, a little raised heart on Harley's neckline, clear lenses on Catwoman's mask.  They could have really dialed it in, but I think they've made some effort with them honestly.

I'm not sure why they have the holes going through their heads - I assume they might be so people can use them as bag accessories/charms!?

It's too bad that the parts are not interchangeable with the ordinary figures.

Do the capes fit well on normal child figures?
