The more i look at my ChinMobile the more i notice how poor quality they are . On my dragon the whites of the teeth, horn & toes was not applied in a very careful fashion. Actually there is a finger print on two of the teeth where somebody actually squeezed it to early when assembling the rest of the parts.
I do understand Playmobils frustration with the US market but i do not see this decision as a solution . I would have been much more in favor of a " holding your head up high " versus the " when in rome " approach to US marketing .
