More Playmobil Knock-offs at TRU
« on: June 08, 2011, 19:34:16 »
Aren't these ugly?




What really makes me mad is that these are on the same aisle, right with the playmobil!!! >:( >:( >:(



Cheap junk. I don't like that it makes playmobil look lumped in with this trash. People here don't know the quality of playmobil, and if they see it alongside this stuff, they're even more likely to just pass it by.

Yuk!

What are they, exactly.  I mean, who manufactures them?

You know, I haven't even looked to see. Next time I'm there I'll look and see. But particularly the western one is just a blatant copy, except hideous!

Hideous is definetly the right word.  Look at the horses they look emaciated. 
That pirate ship is so awful.  Bleaghhh!

We've seen these nasty knock-offs before:  discussion from a few months ago

This is the company that makes them:  Sun Mate playsets

I was pretty sure they'd been mentioned here before, but they made me so mad being right there next to the playmobil!!!!

Thanks for the info on the company, Indianna!

Those are just horrible. I think they are out there to lure unsuspecting grandparents into buying it for their grandkids when they meant to buy Playmobil  :hmm:
