One of the toys I cannot forget from my childhood are 3 sets of basketball game players made past times Star Toys. I never had whatever of them, merely still, here´s the story.
In 1991, Kellogg´s, the good known build for breakfast cereals, decided to launch a novel production inwards Spain. This production was called Chocos, in addition to consisted of cereal crops alongside chocolate season and, to a greater extent than or less, the cast of a half sphere. I yell upward perfectly the parcel every bit well, all inwards nighttime light-green alongside the xanthous giraffe inwards basketball game outfit that was afterward replaced past times a brownish bear. I am non certain if the giraffe is the same giraffe called "Shorty" or if it was a novel grapheme designed specifically for launching that product.
Maybe because of the giraffe, the really outset offering they had was a educate of v plastic basketball game players (to live chosen inwards i out of 3 colours/teams) that were made past times Star Toys. Maybe this offering was alone for Spain, since, I haven´t seen the plastic figures anywhere else.
The figures were standing inwards unlike positions, similar throwing the ball, inwards defensive pose or driving the ball alongside i hand. Out of v figures, 3 had a basketball game inwards its hands. Also interesting is that in that location are 3 white players in addition to ii dark ones.
All v figures stand upward inwards a five-pointed star, alongside white borders in addition to coloured within inwards red, xanthous or blue, in addition to send a sticker inwards its breast alongside the text "Kellogg´s Chocos", merely this sticker really frequently missing. The base of operations are marked: "(c) 1991 Kellogg Company" in addition to "Star Toys”.
The colours available were red, xanthous in addition to blue. This 3 inmediatly made me mean value of Chicago Bulls, L.A. Lakers in addition to Detroit Pistons, 3 of the biggest teams at that time, although, since in that location were non marked, they could too live other teams alongside similar colours... both from the NBA or the ACB (Spanish Pro League), or fifty-fifty National Teams.
I missy a light-green team, who at the fourth dimension could convey been the Boston Celtics, my favorite squad of the early on 90s.
Also during the early on 90, Yolanda released a curt serial of "real" NBA players inwards PVC inwards a slightly bigger scale. This business is currently really sought-after, in addition to hard to uncovering complete, since each figure came alongside a ball that alongside the fourth dimension is easily detachable from the figure.
Read a longer article written past times myself (in Spanish) inwards Figuras En Acción Nr. 18.
