#796 Juyba - Ferrari Bb 512 “Fantástico” (Knight Rider) (1986)

MONTH OF THE BOOTLEG AT TOYS FROM THE PAST!

This model shares its variety amongst the BB 512 yesteryear Guisval, released inwards the Furia serial (see #223). ~~Globetoys too Guisval are genuinely the same company, equally I explained entirely a few entries agone (see~~ ~~#672), too then why should Globetoys re-create Guisval?~~

Thanks to Salvador López for correctng this entry. The Ferrari inthe pictures is genuinely a Juyba model, that at unopen to indicate released two cars from the Furia Series (this ane too the Toyota Celica), entirely inwards plastic too amongst friction motors. The casts are the same usedby Guisval, entirely unmarked. It is unclear at this indicate what is the relation betwixt Guisval too Juyba, although I would say, they are dissimilar companies. Probably Juyba bought unopen to tooling too casts from Guisval to create their ain toys.

The 2 cars referred well-nigh were produced inwards several patch colours too were decorated amongst rally stickers, this Fantástico seems to convey been made inwards a shorter run.

In my opinion, Guisval wanted to avoid whatsoever legal problems when copying or bootlegging other toys. In this case, the toy is its ain design, exactly the ornament equally K.I.T.T., the Knight Rider is non legal.

Juyba manifestly had no license to reproduce Knight Rider. The TV serial was launched inwards Kingdom of Spain inwards 1985, too many companies tried to brand toys based on the dark Pontiac Firebird named K.I.T.T.

Unfortunately the model inwards the pictures is missing unopen to stickers, exactly it nevertheless looks quite impressive inwards dark amongst blood-red hubcaps.
