I can't see them here but I'll check tonight home.

I have seen some videos posted here, can't say now if they are the same or not. Anyway...it is always great to see how our dear friends are made!  :love:

I've always wanted to see ANY toy manufacturing process behind-the-scenes, so now I'm doubly happy to see one AND it happens to be Playmobil!  (now if only I could see one by Takara/Hasbro, manufacturers of Transformers and Star Wars toys).

Bill, you must be delighted to see your fire fighters and equipment in the process.

I wish I could see the pirate ships being made in process, though I truly appreciate the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack in the videos, (kinda odd, lol, but cool!)  :)

also interesting that they do breakage tests, stress tests on the plastic, sun tests, heat tests...no wonder Playmobil is nearly indestructable!  Being a collector of other toys, I highly doubt other toy companies conduct quality control tests like that, aside from child safety tests.  Awesome!

Thank you for sharing these great videos showing masterpieces in process, Luis! :thanks:


You are so right, Atto! It's fantastic to see how so much care is put into the development & production of these great quality toys, especially my favorite firefighting theme!

The videos were so scientific, and perhaps, even a little scary at times  :o Thanks for sharing!

Yes, thanks Luis! Everyone should see this video! So impressive, isn't it?
Just to underline Wolf Knight's post here is the link:
German Version
English Version

There you can also get a lot of information because there is a lot more than such dramatic music, real human speaking!  :lol:

The heat test is amazing 8-)
