How do you grade your flops?
Updated over 3 months ago

The quality assessment of our toys is extremely high as we know customers deserve the best quality toys for their orders. However, when a toy doesn't pass this assessment, it often doesn't mean the toy is unusable. Very often, the defects that we consider "flop worthy" are things such as colour leaks or minor bubbles to the base.

We still want to see these toys go to a good home! So for that, we grade the severity of our flops and then discount them on inventory once we have enough to constitute a "Flop Drop."

Our flops are listed at a 20% discount for both visual and physical flops, and below we will show a few visual and physical flops as examples

Colour error examples

Colour Flops have defects that are more obvious than we would expect on a toy. Such as more prominent discolouration or bubbling. Whilst these defects may be visible, they would not affect the usability of a toy. Some examples of these defects would be:

  • Moderate streaks of pigment out of place. No more than 20% - 30% across the body of the toy.

Here is an example of a pigmented streak that would qualify as a Flop.

C - Intermediate (25% Discount)

Grade C Flops are the most severe that we will still sell to customers. These toys are still more than usable and will last for a very long time. However, the defects on these are more visible than in previous tiers. Some examples of these defects would be:

  • Poor trimming causes the base to look poor.

  • Major streaks of pigment.

  • Substantial bubbles on the base or moderate on the shaft.

Here is an example of an intermediate flop, where the pigment streak is extremely visible along the shaft of a toy.
