Chile Basuritas Intro | Garbage Pail Kids World

CHILE, S.A.

BASURITA = ‘TRASH CAN’ — BASURITAS
= TRASH CAN KIDS

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.

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.
