Something new to the blog tonight.
The Gescha Strenco series of 'Crickets' from West Germany.
I call them Crickets as they have the same basic body as the SpaceX Cricket and as they are un-named on the box. I have seen one at least referred to as a Raketenwurfer.
So without further ado the series of 4 vehicles are pictured as silhouettes on the box end.
They are numbered. I've given them my own basic names.
1415 Four Small Silver Missiles Launcher
1430 Large Red White Black Rocket Launcher
1440 Double White Fat Missile Launcher
1450 Crane
This is 1415.
This is 1430 below.
This is 1440 on the top box picture below.
I can't find a picture of the actual toy. You?
This is 1450 below, the Crane.
Again I can't find a pic of the toy. Maybe you can.
Here are some more box shots from various auctions.
We've covered many Cricket relatives on MC over the years.
Looking back I can see that the 1415 and the 1430 toys above are basically the same as the Codeg versions, which some of us have in our collections,
The crane is also basically the same as the Molto version from Spain pictured below, another toy I have not been able to find a picture of except its picture on the shared box.
So what do you think readers?
Anyone got any of these Gescha Strenco toys?
