#619 Star - Technik-Quartett - Slowly Passenger (Nr. 3246) (Around 1983)

There are a few quartetts with the advert "Easy Rider" past times dissimilar manufacturers, too this 1 is alongside the rarest ones. I convey establish only 1 reference of "Star", the menu manufacturer, but this reference does non include whatever relevant data nearly the beginning of this brand.

It seems to travel a rare deck, too Star a really small-scale manufacturer, or possibly a "white brand" for about other larger Company. I intend it is genuinely the second: this deck was in all probability made past times Piatnik from Vienna, because it is almost identical to the homonimous Piatnik deck, reference 4222 from 1977. Only 8 cards are different. Earlier versions of this Piatnik deck convey to a greater extent than differences, then my approximate is that the Star quartett must travel slightly newer than the Piatnik 4222.

Sorry that I cannot nation anything else nearly this deck, if y'all know something nearly it, delight don´t hesitate to larn out a comment to this entry. Thanks.

#638 Carex - Porsche Carrera (Nr 100) (1983)

Carex is a misterious manufacturer from the early on 80s to the early on 90s amongst real few models available. I establish this inwards a flea marketplace as well as bought it inmediatly, it was the outset I had seen yesteryear this brand. Now inwards Google, I accept establish about others. The companionship was based inwards Warsaw as well as its consummate get upward was: Carex Przedsiebiorstwo Zagraniczne w Polsce ul

Another origin of data for this construct as well as this model is diecast.blog3.fc2.com from Japan. Using machine translation I accept read that the pause used inwards this model is rare for an european model of that age, as well as they operate out opened upward the answer to the inquiry if this model was actually manufactured inwards Hong-Kong to travel packaged as well as sold inwards Poland, or if it is actually a Polish made model. Difficult question, since at that topographic point is almost cipher close this construct on the internet.

Currently at that topographic point are seven known models, all of them made betwixt 1981 as well as 1993 (according to the dutch wikipedia).

#644 G.I. Joe - Skystriker Alongside Ace (1983)

 

The Skystriker is 1 of the most realistic vehicles always made for the G.I.Joe line, It was released inward 1983, the minute yr of beingness of this collection, together with the minute wave. In that wave, all figures came already amongst swivel arm.

 

The Skystriker is a jet fighter based on a F-14 Tomcat, 1 of the most iconic planes inward the armed forces history of the U.S. It was also the airplane that appeared inward the celluloid Top Gun (1986).

 

Let´s commencement amongst the figure: Ace is a mixture betwixt fighter airplane pilot together with astronaut, it has a slap-up white/beige uniform. The grey/red crotch is somehow an foreign choice, I don´t know why they took this crotch instead of a white one. The figure had a helmet every bit its alone accesory. The helmet also has a quite futuristic design. Great figure!

 

 

The airplane is quite long, some 55 centimeters, amongst relatively wide wings. It has realistic colours, together with although I am non an proficient inward jets or aircraft inward general, I hollo back it is quite similar to the F-14, amongst some differences, similar a rattling long front end to lucifer 2 figures.

 

 

The cockpit also accept house for 2 parachutes. They accept to endure rattling carefully folded to fit. Note that this vehicle is the European version ("Action Force" inward the box) together with it came amongst 1 parachute only. The American version came amongst two, which is to a greater extent than logical. In representative of an accident, alone 1 of the 2 pilots could relieve his/her life. The co-pilot is oftentimes Lady Jaye, at least, inward the cartoons. In the toy, at that spot is a sticker amongst the names Capt. J. Brad Armbruster (which is the file cite of Ace), together with Lt. Wayne Ruthel, who is no known joe. Apparently, this cite is a (slightly changed) cite of a Hasbro employee (Wayne Luther). I don´t encounter the betoken inward printing the secret, classified cite there. Other vehicles also accept fictitious names on the cockpits or wherever, that were never assigned to whatever joe character. They may also endure Hasbro employees.

 

 

The primary characteristic of this airplane is the wings pose that are correlated to the landing gear, That means, inward landing pose the wings are expanded together with the wheels are out, together with inward flight pose the wings are folded together with the wheels in.

 

The airplane comes amongst half-dozen missiles, 2 of each kind, together with a big fuel tank that tin endure attached to the lower purpose of the plane. The fuel tank is delicate together with it commonly breaks. The pocket-size missiles, if attached to the incorrect pegs tin also break, together with hence endure careful.

 

As nearly every G.I.Joe vehicle at that spot are 2 removable lids that bring out parts of motors, together with hence children tin also play "mechanics" amongst these figures.

#672 Globetoys – Speed Cars (1983)

MONTH OF THE BOOTLEG AND THE KNOCK-OFF AT TOYS FROM THE PAST!

Globetoys is a pocket-size Castilian construct for toys from the mid 80s. I of late discovered that it is inwards fact a subsidiary companionship of Guisval in addition to it started inwards 1983. From my childhood I retrieve having a few toys made past times this company. But why a second, novel construct for Guisval, when they already were really renowned in addition to famous inwards Spain? The alone argue that cames to my mind, is that Globetoys offered many models that were copies of other unusual toys, in addition to mayhap Guisval wanted to protect their construct inwards instance of trouble. This toy cars hither are a expert instance of what I am talking about. As y'all may accept noticed, these cars are a re-create of Kidco´s / Matchbox´s Burnin´Key Cars (see adjacent entry #673).

Globetoys made this fundamental machine inwards 3 colours (white, yellow, red) in addition to half-dozen references (101 to 106: ambulance in addition to sheriff inwards white, constabulary in addition to rally champion inwards yellowish in addition to fire fighter in addition to racing airplane pilot inwards red). Each model had dissimilar decals according to its reference. They were only marked “Globetoys – Made inwards Spain” inwards the base.

Some fourth dimension after (maybe 2-3 years later), Globetoys added the blueish model, but past times that time, Speedcars came without decals.

Note that the sirens tin lav hold upward either crimson or yellow, depending on the coloring of the body.

In the adjacent entry y'all tin lav compare Globetoys model amongst the master Kidco model inwards which the blueprint is based. The Kidco model is to a greater extent than elaborated in addition to has a slightly to a greater extent than detailed cast. The bonnet of the Kidco Model is likewise removable, but non Globetoy´s.

#673 Kidco - Demolition Cars (1983)

This Kidco auto is the master copy model inwards which the cars inwards the previous entry are based, in addition to thence this is some variety of continuation of what I wrote two days ago.

 

This type toy is known every bit "Key Car", because y'all tin insert that plastic telephone substitution inwards the bring upwards business office of the auto in addition to past times pressing it, the auto volition run off at quite a high speed. This is achieved past times way of a spring. Another character item is that Kidco made several dissimilar telephone substitution models. Not every telephone substitution is valid/do stand upwards for for/in every car.

 

 

The model looks a footling similar a Dodge monaco, although the front end plastic auto is different. I recollect this was added to protect the auto from the many crashes that it would accept during playtime, or to optimize the crash feature: When the auto crashes alongside plenty speed, the bonnet volition wing out revealing the faux motor of the car.

 

 

The auto has been decorated according to this feature, since it is some variety of stunt car, inwards yellowish marked "Demo". There are other versions inwards crimson of this same toy, every bit y'all tin encounter inwards Matchbox's catalogue from 1984.

 

 

 

And finally the comparing of this Matchbox auto alongside Kidco license in addition to the Globetoys car: almost identical, except for the siren, the exhaust pipes behind the front end wheels, the bonnet feature, the tampographies in addition to the dissimilar key. The Globetoys model came without a keychain, which is a cracking item in addition to something that makes the Burnin' Key Cars actually hard to larn complete.
