Weight of klikcy
« on: September 09, 2012, 07:26:44 »
I wonder what is the weight of the klicky and more importantly how this has ( if so) changed when comparing a klicky from the late 70s/early 80s to a klicky of today ( must be a klicky without permanently attached stuff so that a comparison is relevant ).... ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

I bet the new klikcies are like 15-20% lighter than the older ones , that is my prediction  :) :) :)

Might be a difference due to how the clicky is assembled, seperate hands and shoes and all that might add a bit to weight too.

Just make sure to use male clickies when you weigh them though, the female clickies might get offended.  ;)

Using ordinary kitchen weighing scales, the difference between one of the original klickies with fixed hands, and the male klicky from the click and go pickup truck, is negligible.

These are the most sensitive scales I have so maybe another Playmofriend can provide a more accurate answer.

I would try weighing multiple klickies at once, like a bowl full, and seeing if the difference becomes noticeable. I don't have many really early klickies, or else I'd try this myself.

I tried this experiment. I used 2 old klickies (solid arms/hands) They each weighed 12grams. Then I took a little newer klickies, same hair, no accessories with separate hands, these each weighed only 11grams. Lastly I took some newer klickies that have separate hands along with molded boots on the legs (a robber and a firefighter) and they also weighed in at 11grams each.

I have not cut any but I remember that some klickies have hallow legs. I do not have any broken klickies with me and I can not recall if they were new or classic but that would have an influence on weight.

For what ever reason I have a feeling that in the 70's they might not have had the technology to mold hallow legs which would make them heavier. With modern techniques and ingredients Goebra can perform much more precise molding and not have to waste plastic. What I am trying to say is similar to classic American cars of the 70's being heavier with more metal is not necessarily better or safer. Its all about enginering. Volvo's at the same time were much lighter cars but had a very successful safety record in the 70's through to the early 90's (model/series 200's)

Yes I know the plastic of modern playmo feels diffrent and all but only time will tell if it is a better or a worse situation

I tend to worry about the rubbery parts and their exposure to sun

You can use a kitchen scale to weight them  :)

Makes sense that it gets a bit lighter due to more advanced molds.

Now I am curious if a fat clicky weighs the same or lighter than a classic clicky though.  :lol:
