Rotoplast

Industrias Rotoplast de Venezuela C.A. was a Venezuelan toy manufacturer founded by German emigrant Heinz Pfeiffer in 1969. The company was founded in Venezuela with Pfeiffer wanting to present a new doll of his creation to potential distributors, so he set up an event for him to do so; the event was a success, with the doll "captivating" potential distributors.
The company subsequently obtained licenses from Mattel in 1984 to produce Hot Wheels cars, Barbie dolls and most notably, Masters of the Universe figures. Mattel itself would subsequently expand to the Latin American market in 1993, retaking all of the licenses Rotoplast held; Rotoplast subsequently ceased operations in August 1999.
