Police SWAT Guns Facepalm...
« on: April 08, 2013, 07:06:53 »
I recently gotten my hands on that cool COOL Tactical Police truck (5974) that is only available in the States via EBAY.
I can't help but notice that the new submachine gun for the SWAT Police is weird...

I mean the new design is superb! Close to a HK MP5 rather than always have them carry pump-guns with scopes but the handle is at the side which makes it kinda awkward whichever way you try to make them hold it. 

Is they anyway, we could feedback this to Playmobil and have them change the handle?

A picture of the gun with a klicky holding it would help for those who haven't got the set.  And, yes, write to Playmobil with your comments and maybe photos or, if you are in the PCC, comment on the pcc site.

I know this particular gun holding style bothers you but even the classic gun had a very odd holding point. I have noticed most guns have an odd holding position except for the pistol. Must be a hard element to design given  the limitations of a klickies arms
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

But at least the other guns still look ok when they are in a standing-down position but even the standing down position is weird...
Anyway, I have written a feedback to Anna and Sandra.

Lets see if it'll yield any results in 6 months time.

If you turn  the klicky's hand round, then the standing down position will look better, although the klicky's hand will be holding the gun in an unnatural way.  But as Rasputin says, it's due to the limitations of the klicky's arms - they don't bend at the elbow.

i never thought i would see automatic weapons on playmobil  :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(  . Hans Beck would never approve and Playmobil should have known better. Totally unappropriate and wrong as these angry and evil unshaved etc faces i see on recent playmobil figures  and i say figures because they are truly distant from the original klickies.

sorry but i dont dont approve at all this new breed of playmobil with auto weapons on klicky hands at all. what next tanks, mortars, jet fighters with bombs and grenades ???? sorry it aint right i think
