Says @wicho, from Microsiervos that has been going around the Montaplex Envelopes page where there is a lot of interesting content regarding these envelopes in which we could find soldiers content, Those of Toy Story! planes, cars or motorcycles, like in the image. The truth is that the envelopes cost a hard, about five pesetas, and in my case I remember going to buy them on Sunday mornings at a store on Calle México de Madrid, where they sold content of this type in addition to the goodies, May they never be missing!
A few months ago my daughter and I went to the toy market in Madrid and I found it very exciting to see the envelopes of the models and the plastic soldiers of Matchbox. As we said, they cost hard a long time ago and I was surprised that they were now sold to 1.50 euros. I have also seen them in antique markets although I have not dared to ask for a price because it seems to me that I will be scared.
The envelopes of Montaplex They were very fun to build your own game scenario. Also when they put a war movie on Spanish television it was the perfect inspiration to organize battles at home with those plastic soldiers as main protagonists. And those who collected or cared for a little more toys still used them several times including atypical elements, such as disproportionate size motorcycles, next to ships or soldiers.
The current envelopes for the children, I think, do not include the routine we had then: choose the envelope, unfold the pieces, remove them from the plastic, file them a little in case they had excess plastic, compose the stage, share adventures with other friends and Many more options. Now the envelopes offer all the toy made and with little room for imagination. Although children do not need any script and they are able to invent wonderful stories with anything.
