Sorry to bother you again... but there is a ghost mouse in my room :)
« on: October 04, 2012, 18:46:04 »
I think I have too much topics in "what is this???", so sorry to bother you again...
... but I've just bought a bunch of white mise


But then I found THIS:


It looks like a glow in the dark mouse, but as far as I know it simply doesn't glow in the dark.


So sorry for all the questions and bad pictures, but anyone an idea?

They use a plain translucent white plastic to clean the molding machines between colors. This may be one of the first mice out of the machine when it was set up for the show. Here is a photo showing a discards bin at the Playmobil factory in Dietenhofen, you can see they were switching from red to green koalas so cleaned out the machine between them.

Are those discards usually re-melted?

Any waste is either re-used in the factory or sold to outside companies for recycling.

I wonder if it's through the outside recycling companies that these things sometimes get out. Like maybe some worker sees a clear horse and thinks it pretty and brings it home to their kid or something. :lol:
