Hey guys. I wanted to share with you an article that was released on April 4th in the most popular Sunday newspaper. This was about the time of the Decorative Arts Museum of Paris exhibit. I'm working on the translation to english. Probably could post it during the weekend.
In fact there is nothing in the articule that we wouldn't know. But the interesting thing, at least to me, is to show you the fame and presence that Playmobil still has in Argentina. Unfortunately this does NOT much at all the efforts of Antex to keep up with the quality and updating of Geobra. Nevertheless the fans in Argentina keep loving and buying the toy, mostly the little amount of imported sets that we can get.
As most of you must know the quality of the plastic, the designs of parts and color squemes, the sets, even the packaging is very poor.
Now my question is.... shouldn't Geobra do something about it? Why don't they? I can't give myself any logical answer. I guess Antex must have the rights for designing and making sets up, but Geobra must approve them? shouldn't they take care of their product? Or are they approving this?
Anyway....I guess some of you could enlight me on this matter.
For now, I leave you with the articlue in spanish. I'll post a translation (if you are interested) on the weekend. Sooner if I can.
Gaston.
