Figures are produced in Malta.
The quality there is very often lower than in other factories.....
This is a well known and often discussed problem.

I can't believe the number of mistakes in the figures. :(

Maybe it would be a good idea to take pictures from all faults and send them to Anna....

If Tim doesn't do it before he sends it, I'll take a pic for the museum. Btw, I did send you a pic of the albino klicky, didn't I?

Yes, I think that's a good idea. They need to know how many mistakes are coming out of just two boxes.

Yes you did - will be added when the new site is ready... sigh.

I think it's WAY over any acceptable ratio, the number of errors. I mean, considering the price, it could ba a Figure is the first contact someone actually has with playmobil.. What will they think? :(

I will take a couple photos this morning, and get the sets sorted out. Thanks for offering to take the error bits folks. I will try to get the three of you who have paid so far out the door today.

Thanks so much, Tim. :) And I hope you don't get left with too many errors, after being the one to do all the work! Which errors are left?

You guys took the worst, just the bad hair on the Parasol lady. 7 out of the 8 of those were the bad molding. Fortunately it was reasonably fixable. I could see it being a bit frustrating for a kid who didn't know it was molded wrong though. It looks ok from outside just doesn't fit on the head correctly.

Didn't it show in one of the production videos that each part is supposed to be inspected by hand? Mistakes are fine, but it's strange that these actually make it past the visual inspection. Maybe they are no long doing this... That and the new plastic aren't very good signs. :-\
