Hmph. A Chinese LGEV, obviously. Shoddy plastic construction, open cockpit (so those unarmored crew members are obviously suicide volunteers), and the leakage from the dubious containment on that low-budget Shanghai reactor has begun to mutate the local wildlife: That ain't no alligator, it's a Chinese crocodile lizard, mutated to about 20 times the normal size.

I guess once your population goes over a billion, caring about safety standards would really just add to your problems.

I don't mean to ruin your excellent joke but that's a German-made toy, and quite good quality plastic.

Really? I'm astonished. I thought everything made of plastic came from China. ;)

Yeah Playmobil breaks that mold, if you'll pardon the pun. Production is all in Germany, Malta and Czech.
