Muky of Argentina is one other mystery within the history of toys created
in our country. For collectors these are the Argentinean Hotwheels for
the similarity with the American models. And ever given that they very first got
hold of 1 of Muky's models there's been a constant doubt about the
origin and production of these miniature wonders. Some say the castings had been stole form the Mattel plant lots of years ago, and then brought to
our southern country to begin production of a similar item under an
other brand name. Some other people, the most uncontroversial ones prefer to believe that the similarity is the result of some god knows what
coincidences. Nonetheless most of us, without having selecting either solution want
to know the truth for certain, regardless of whether they were stolen, sold or copied,
how and where did it happen, and most of all why.

To be able to solve that mystery, the Buenos Aires Toy museum, who has
been working on the reconstruction of the Argentinean toy industry's
history for numerous years now, began to work on a deep and complicated investigation procedure. The first and foremost difficulty we had to face in
advance was the lack of public or private information and facts about this
matter. On account of a contium of political and economical essential
situations the registration of most industrial activities of the 60s,
70s and 80s are not significantly.

Confronted to the lack of records and in have to have of answers we began to
trace down facts lines we collected from fellow collector, who
remembered to have heard someone saying some thing about Muky.

Our hard work paid off, and we had been able to contact Muky's owners with
which we had the honor of interviewing.

As a result of the interview we have some new and fresh facts in
order to start to solve a component of this mystery.

As most of collectors may have noticed not all Mukys are the identical.
Some of them are fully produced out of zamac the metal material-, some other people have the lower component in plastic. This distinction is mainly the
result of a alter not only inside the technique but within the owners. That is
the difference you come across within the lower part, with the full metal items
showing a sign that reads "Super veloz" super fast- plus the ones with
metal and plastic which in fact run faster, Induguay-. This
corresponds to two distinctive owners of the Muky provider.
Among the numerous other differences inside the models will be the box and
blister packages alternatives, the full blue and white package is from
the second Era within the production of Muky, while the much more eclectic and
colorful packages belong to the first Era.

But our objective was fixed in the principal mystery we were looking to solve:
the castings origin. When asking Muky's most recent owner about the
castings, he replied that the newest ones the most recent numbers within the
series- had been produced by them in Argentina with local craftsmen, who had been
inspired in quite a few of the cars they saw daily on the streets. He
added that lots of of the first models had been bought together with the organization already producing them. He thought the previous owners had
bought them inside the States and brought them to Argentina to function with.
But he had no further facts on the matter.

The newest input in this matter will be the result of the tough and complicated work carried on by the museum's research team on
Argentinean toys. Yes, the castings were bought inside the States no, they
weren't stolen from Mattel, nor they were bought from that company. Our most recent facts on the matter is that back inside the early 50s Mattel
wasn't producing inside their plant all their castings, but they bought
them from third parties. It had been this casting craftsman the one who
sold those Hotwheel alike castings to Muky. They were brought to our
country and set off to production. The similarity is crystal clear, the
differences appear in high quality and finishing touches, and also inside the
way those cars run.
As a result, Muky of Argentina, aka the Argentinean Hotwheels share the same original castings with the Mattel diecasts, but not just where
they not stolen, but they were legitimately bought and put into
production.
1 highlight about the Muky models is an outstanding difference with
most of the 70s Argentinean diecasts, for they had produced an fascinating number of idea diecast vehicles. A line of visionary models
which were to come within the international market and that could be a style breakthrough inside the business that was anticipated inside the
world of toys. And 1 of those avant-garde corporations was Muky. A highly treasured item quite appreciated within the world of collectibles.

For this info is so precious to us all collectors, the Buenos
Aires Toy museum is futhering on this analysis projects into an
upcoming catalog like book, with all of the newest information and facts on the
subject together with a detailed list of all Muky models out there all through its history.
