playmobil toys were like gold when I was a kid, I had a pirate ship too. I don't remember if it was racist or not though. ETA: just watched the video When the plastic thing snapped around the neck of that little minority toy......

here's a concept. Take the collar out of the playset. Your problem is solved.

But the toy looks really happy about the situation, so who are we to judge?
Maybe that shackled toy was from the S&M playset. |

That's not racist. It's historically accurate. Not exactly a wise move by the toy company but it's not racist.

Many pirates were black, the chances of them having a "slave" are virtually nil, they might have a prisoner, and most anyone who worked on a ship before sunblock would have a dark complexion by virtue of their sum exposure. That prisoner was tanned, not black, look at native Africans, they are BLACK not tanned, that figure is tanned. Maybe she could axe if that guy has a tan or not?

The cops actually came with little Glock pistols .I found like a dozen sets at a garage sale nearly all complete with boxes from the late 80s early 90s. Mostly Pirate and Cowboys and Indians. I paid maybe $40 and $10 for a huge lego pirate ship. I sold everything for several hundred. I even went and got the missing lego pieces so I could get a better price, thought the box was damaged. |

Funny story, saw a Playmobile set during the height of Ferguson ect anti police stuff last year in the store. It was a police station set. The cops were militarized as fuckkkk. Had racks of those HK carbine things people make UMPs out of. I was like damn never had that as a kid  |

Most likely designed and possibly even manufactured in Germany, I was buying Playmobil sets when I was a kid in the '70's. Had the cavalry fort, a Wells Fargo wagon, bunch of cavalry soldiers, some cowboys, and Indians. Later was given some of the space stuff when it started showing up in the US a few years later. Heck, for all I know, it may be in a box somewhere in my garage of stuff that came out of my dad's house. |

Considering it's Playmobil based on the ones I had growing up in America, looking back in hindsight the Death Camp set is not beyond the realm of possibility. They made airport security, and hazmat set. They don't shelter their children that's for sure. Sharia Law set should be darn interesting also. 8( |
