In 30s/40s, Roberto Pro – Juguetes México manufactured very good quality composition soldiers in Mexico (Coyoacán), comparable to figures produced in Germany by Elastolin and Lineol. The 80mm and 65mm pieces are identifiable by various legends inscribed in high relief on their thick bases: “Juguetes México”, “E.J.M. Made in Mexico” or “Made in Mexico”. Among his models stand out the Red Army Cossacks. From January 1937 to August 1940 (till his death), Leon Trotsky and his wife lived in the Coyoacán area of Mexico City.
