Mijos
Mijos are a series of plastic collectible figurines created by David Gonzales. Representing various Chicano Mexican American youth characters, Mijos debuted in 2004 as a spin-off of Gonzales' Homies figures. The Mijos line (like Homies before them) are specifically targeted at Hispanics — in this case, Hispanic children.〔Castleman, Lana. ("Licensors heat up Hispanic merch programs to feed retailer demand," ) ''Kidscreen'' (March 1, 2004).〕
Mijos come in two lines: as two-inch figurines sold in supermarket vending machines, and as six-inch figures manufactured by Toy Play and sold in stores like Walmart, Kmart, Target, and Toys "R" Us.〔
== Description ==
In their fictional world, Mijos are a group of tightly knit kids (mostly teens, but some younger children and even babies) growing up in Oaktown (a nickname for Oakland, California), and hanging out in "Mijo Park."〔Macias, Chris. "Barrio Boon: Mijos Figures Are All The (Commercial) Rage," ''Sacramento Bee'' (Aug. 3, 2004). Archived at ''(American Renaissance )''.〕 (The term "mijo" is a conjoined Spanish slang word of affection, loosely translated as "my little one"〔 (+ "hijo" = "my son" ).) In a community surrounded by inner-city problems, the Mijos form a strong and binding cultural support system that enables them to overcome the surrounding negativity, allowing for laughter and good times as an antidote to reality. As befitting these characters from the barrio, many Mijos wear bandanas and baggy pants.
