    Disgusting! What is next? Your very own detention center? Perhaps an oven?

        The comments are beautiful. I love the one that points out this is clearly a European security checkpoint, and goes on to list all the things that are missing if it's supposed to be American...

        Bloody humans.

        What are you doing about it?

          Reading the reviews, it's nice to see that irony is alive and well in the US. Such 'toys' are good propaganda tools to influence the young, and I'd bet there might have been some shady funds available for the manufacturer to go this route.
          Watch out for the TV campaign, though maybe not now that GW and his cohorts have gone.

              Children need to know their place, and we here at Playmobil are happy to help.

                In the interest of saving fuel, I'm waiting till they come out with the "Cavity Search Accessory Set" and the "Gitmo Waterboarding Set" and buy them all at the same time.

                  Hours of fun

                  There's a Police Roadblock Set & a Police Station you can purchase with optional 5 in1 SWAT Team.


                  I laughed until I stopped

                  Thanks Vince.

                    I liked this one.

                    This is just a sop to the authoritarians among us. I am holding out for the release of the Guantanemo Playset. Hopefully this will come with an extrordinary rendition option.

                      Will this come with a figurine of Castro and a selection of vintage American cars to stand outside the wire?

                        Some fun comments there!

                        Do have to wonder though, if some of those folks forgot that we had metal detectors in airports prior to TSA.

                          $55.00 for cheap plastic crap painted with lead paint made in China. We get what we deserve.

                            Yah, Brian, but that was before we got serious about things (well, to be fair, before we were 'forced' to become serious about things.)

                            Really, though, I just laughed my a$$ off when my boss showed me the link...

                            Now, a quick perusal of Playmobil's site does NOT show ANY of these gems as regular items, leading me to suspect that whole thing is a prank (the "child in a wheelchair" is especially macabre...) but if it is a prank, it was extremely well done.

                            The comments alone are worth the price of admission. (To the psychiatric ward, in some cases!) I'm still giggling!

                              Was really wondering how you ever ended up there in the first place.
