Malta Playmobil Prosecution and Sentencing

Those klickies he sold were leftovers for bad printing mostly. I mean they didn't pass quality check in the factory.

There IS a quality check for printing? They must sleep a lot on the job...

"The court noted a stark difference in quality between the dolls originally sold by Playmobil and the ones sold by Mr Difesa"

Hmm... question now is which ones were the better. 


@Playmobil/Geobra: just joking

Am I the only one who flinches at the term "playmobil DOLLS" ?

The Maltese term for klicky was lost in translation 

We call them 'pupi' ... literally, 'dolls'.

And all Playmobil rejects are meant to be ground up for recycling.  This can be done by outside companies who buy the figures to grind them up, but maybe one of them didn't.

Yes, I think the issue was not the customizing, but rather how the parts were acquired. At least that's what I got out of it.

@tahra: yes, that bothered me, too!

Here most people (non-Playmocollectors) call Playmobil-figures " Playmobil dollies" (dollies ="poppetjes" in Dutch)...

[Birdie]

We always called them 'mannekes' (little men in Flemish)
