Didn't Playmobil have a promotion with McDonald's years ago and there were some problems with over small parts with the figures?

AGES ago. I think that was the start of the "over 3" thing in Happy Meals.

Mc Donalds might indeed not be the best one. Can always include fat clickies with it though.  ;)

All joking aside, promotions can be done in other ways. Maybe coöperations with kindergartens, creating a special learning package designed just for this, featuring playmobil?

Gotta say that I do agree with other people's comments about associating Playmobil with a more heallthy food ditributor or indeed promoting it with something else entirely, although I am probably biased since I've grown up on a healthy vegetarian diet not eating at many places such as McDonalds at least from what I've seen they do seem to be trying to encourage kids to eat healthily with their happy meals focusing on water/juice drinks and healthy snacks

In fact, the Playmobil |Fun Park in Malta has a healthy eating policy.  There's a thread on PF about it somewhere.

There might be a problem with small parts even if no accessories were included- most children can probably remove a hairpiece with their teeth (especially if they put the klicky in their mouth in preference to the MuckNuggets or whatever) and that would seem an ideal piece to block a windpipe....

I suspect McDonalds would rather not get back into the Playmobil scandal scenario, even if it were cost effective. Result!

Well they can glue the hairpiece to the clicky so that it can't be removed.

I say they have it in a happy adults meal, we need more happy adults these days, the kids will follow suit.
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:
