A Basuritas set was
released throughout the Republic of Chile around 1989, after the 1988
Argentinian release. It is unknown at this time which South American
country held the license and distribution rights for the different
international Garbage Pail Kids releases, besides the Stani Company
(Productos Stani) for Argentina, but there are several similarities
between all three original Spanish releases for Argentina, Chile and
Uruguay from the late '80s and their Industria Argentina, Salo and
Industria Uruguaya manufacturing companies, respectively. Both Editora
Aladino, S.A. and Salo, S.A. produced the albums for Argentina and
Chile, respectively, but it is unknown what company produced the Uruguay
stickers. The adhesive stickers, needing moisture, measure slightly
smaller than 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches, similar in size to U.S. trading
cards, meant to be stuck down in numerical locations within the accompanied
sticker album. A majority of the stickers were non-die cut, but several
were die cut.
BASURITA = 'TRASH CAN' BASURITAS = TRASH CAN KIDS A second Basuritas set was released ten years later throughout Chile in 1999, again manufactured and distributed by the Salo S.A. company, before the 2000 Argentinian release with the same look and layout. The self-adhesive stickers measured much smaller, at 2 1/4 X 2 3/4 inches, and were non-die cut, peeling from the edges. The second Chilean release also had and accompanied sticker album to place the stickers into; although the album covers are similar for the 1989 and 1999 releases, the contents and sticker style are radically different. |
