Hear is a great idea, produce the brand out of corn based plastic -PLA.  That way once the child outgrows it it will just biodegrade  or they can eat it
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

The problem there is that land that could be used to grow food may then be used to peoduce plastic for toys.

There is a problem to every solution.

Maybe they could introduce a new green box line with the toys made from biodegradable plastic.
But seriously, what will happen to the rubber band companies if Geobra cuts down on packaging waste?

I already love the tapir  :love:

Anteater.
At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

The original announcement contains a preview-image of the mentioned new animal/amazonas-theme:

Thanks for the picture! The anteater looks smaller than expected. It could be the young animal of course.

This is the oringinal link from the Horst Brandstätter Group site:

And it looks like the Naruto Shippuden theme in September will be 2 figures series, existing out of 24 figures, launching on the 30th of September and the second series launching on the 18th of November:

As I suggested, the blind bag approach makes most sense for Naruto due to the lack of memorable locations that can be turned into playsets. Looking forward to collecting the bags, because I have little space for bigger sets.

Anteater.

Sigh ... back to the books for me for some all night studying on the proper names of animals ...

It's still cute though ;)
... and then dusk came and brought despair.
