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!
  Forget about all of the other stuff,....all we need is the reintroduction of the 3526 Fire Engine!

but they don't have such a great music background  ;)


i think that music was too 'tragic' for that 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:

Thanks for the link, Sir Pleamo! :thanks: I actually enjoyed it more with the voice/explanation.
The heat test is amazing 8-)

I'd never seen that section on the website, and now I want the pirates DVD :love:
