Many believe that Igracek is an imitation of Playmobil, which is not true. Playmobil and Igracek are brothers, they have the same creators."(3:20 - 4:03) "Society and companies mobilized forces, they started sewing masks and we wondered how to contribute to our production and help doctors and paramedics. We thought about creating an Igracek with a protective mask, and we donated part of our sales to buy protective equipment for our emergency services."
