There's so many Playmobil hair styles now he could have Playmobil hair, except they don't actually do that style where the hair is cut close on the sides of the head and they should. Starmer does seem to be a very German looking politician even if his hairstyle isn't fashionable in Zirndorf.

That raises the question of what is meant by the term "Playmobil hair". I think the common man or woman would understand the term as referring to the classic, original Playmobil hair piece from 1974. The other modern hairstyles that they do all resemble real hairstyles, so if Starmer's hair resembled one of those, it wouldn't be Playmobil necessarily, it would just be the hairstyle that that particular Playmobil hair was itself imitating - in other words it would be the Playmobil hair that was like Starmer's hair, not the other way around. "This klicky has Starmer hair." And as you rightly point out, Playmobil doesn't do a hair with his short on the sides look. So it's a mess all around.

It's the least we can do.

While the cars on the streets today look more and more like toys from childhood, Lego now mainly produces lifelike replicas of real car models.

[...]

The same goes for Playmobil. When the figures came onto the market, there were once original fantasy cars to go with them - designed by great product designers, by the way. Today they are replicas of cult cars such as the Duck, Bully or Porsche 911.

Interesting point, reality and toys are trading places  :o :paddy:
