key ring
bearing the image of COBI,
simply wearing the Olympic logo on his stomach.

welcoming with open arms
visitors to Barcelona.

These figurines are made of hard plastic painted or tinted in the mass,
flexible parts (arms or legs, various accessories).
They carry the copyright at the date of 1988, the CE logo, and the mention: "COOB-92",
as well as the (discreet) stamp of the manufacturer: Comansi.
1st edition, now very difficult to find ...
The enlightened amateur of course,
will not confuse them
with manufactured figurines
later (more or less legally),
in China, Mexico or elsewhere ...
"Comansi" is a Catalan toy company, located in Sant Boi de Llobregat
and which in 1988/1992 still manufactured locally ...
Dimensions
: the highest is about 10.5cm (Gymnast),
the dumbbells measure 9cm from end to end (to give an idea)
Very good general condition, clean
minimal marks or usual friction ...
see visuals ...
Sold as described, as found ...

Javier Mariscal
,
often called Mariscal, born in 1950 in Valencia is a graphic designer,
Spanish comic book author and painter.
His comics are influenced by the American underground but, like the Dutch Joost Swarte or Ever Meulen,
he chooses a "graphic design imbued with clarity, aesthetic mannerism and incredibly diverse cultural references",
who also owes much to George Herriman.
His stories, most often humorous, appear, like his drawings,
unstructured, as if improvised.
Influenced by the most diverse figures of the Art world, his whole creation has a spontaneity more apparent than real,
because under the formal simplicity hides a deep work of research.
In 1988, he designed Cobi, the mascot for the 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympics.
Mariscal is already a leader in the renovation of visual language in recent decades and
one of the notorious figures of Spanish art
.
