DC Kinder Playmobil in the UK

[GrahamB]

As Oliver has already said, yep, they're official Playmobil

Oops, sorry, I missed that!

I photographed the back to show the logo in the indented section down their spine

And that!
I did notice the DC copyright, however.

Sorry my criticism of these figures was so harsh, I should really get some myself before passing judgement. Off to Tesco...

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

Do the capes fit well on normal child figures?

Yeah, they're definitely not interchangeable, today was my first chance to properly compare the 2 - the Kinder DC klickys & a kid. 

The KDCs have:
1. smaller heads & necks
2. a bit less mobility in their neck turn (some barely move & are v. stiff, but should)
3. a shallower waist to crotch
4. a wider leg stance
5. the females have a small bust
6. slightly longer arms
7. slightly longer legs

I'll share some quick comparison photos in a bit.

The cloaks do fit on the regular kid klickys, & they're made so they can hang down, or angle as if there's some wind behind them, which is fun!

Be interested to know what you think of them!   

I did take another photo of the capes in the down position but it was just over 100kb when i downloaded the 640x640 version, so i'll have to have a faff to reduce the size a bit.

I think there are 3 cape styles (but I don't have Superman yet - I assume his is the same as Supergirl's though)
1. Batman/Batgirl - black with 6 wavy parts at the bottom
2. Superman?/Supergirl - red with straight bottom
3. Black Adam - black with 4 wavy parts at the bottom

Harley / girl klicky, (apologies for the stupidly small photos, i'll try & add all of them to my much neglected Playmobil IG account later).

Thank you for checking the capes and for the excellent review and pictures, klickyklack!

I got a box of three in Tesco today. I got Supergirl, The Flash and Mera. The quality is better than I expected, though the heads hardly rotate at all and the figures don't really feel like PM. Supergirl falls over when wearing her cape. I don't think it was money wasted (Kinder chocolate is not too bad), but I don't think I want the full set. I hope PM do 'normal' klicky versions of DC characters one day, but it's probably unlikely.

The hole in the head lines up with the groove in the back of each figure, as if they could be mounted on a pencil (though a pencil would be too thick).

...faff...

That's one of mv favorite words! It is apparently British slang!

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. 

If the picture is accurate they seem to have missed putting a ring or at least a green dot on Green Lantern's right hand. (Full disclosure: I was a fan of Green Lantern as a tyke.)

I believe the holes in the head are to avoid a choking hazard, after a few high profile choking deaths related to Kinder Toys I think they are very careful in this area.

I refuse to consider them klickies, but they look like cute novelty items. They're pretty good for Kinder toys.

Yeah, some of the heads on mine definitey rotate as they should, but some barely moved, & i'm not sure why some were ok & some were so stiff.  & Weird that Supergirl wasn't very stable, all mine with capes stood very well with the cape in both positions.  It'd be great if they did do proper adult sized DC Klickys I'm glad you didn't see them as a waste at least!

We have the best slang! bobbins & faff are some favourites of mine.

I still haven't seen Green Lantern! Green Lantern & Superman seem very thin on the ground, at least here in the UK.

I get that, they're significantly different to the Klickys we know & love, but they feel less different to me than some of the newer Klicky variants.

I just got my other 5 (Robin, Joker, Riddler, Wonder Woman & Mera) & I especially love Joker & Mera.  I think some of the things they've done with the Kinder figures (like the scale texture on Mera & Aquaman's clothing & some of the new hairstyles could be interesting to see applied to future adult Klickys.

Still hoping I can find Superman & Green Lantern as I'd like to have the full set.
