I am the sort of parent who DOES contact manufacturers when the quality of what I bought falls below standard. Quite a few never respond. Which is why I think PM is such a great toy. But I expect you are right, Oliver. Most people probably wouldn't bother!

A visual example of poor printing I thought worth sharing.

Quality control is terrible these days... made worse with the cheap painted stuff (like heads) that should be molded...

Also regarding missing parts (or mangled ones) :(

Poor printing...or poor tailoring?

Hi, I am new to the forum.

I have been collecting Playmobil for decades, and it is only on the last few years that I found (a) a poorly molded, misshapen part and (b) missing parts.

I am pleased to say that in both cases, Playmobil replaced the parts when I e-mailed them.

I also often find extra pieces in the Figures blind bags, but fortunately never a missing part.  :crossed:
