I'm always on the look out for small plastic novelty toys from Hong Kong. I wrote a book about the JR21 novelty range but there's always more brands to discover.
Here's a cutie. I saw on auction so I kept the image.
The Earth Moving Mouse by Salco.
Its an awkward design somehow but I can see the appeal it would have to kids back in the Sixties.
Salco also released a chunky Batplane, a Batman rocket racer and a Motorcycle combo.
Do you like this mouse?
Postscript:
Saw one in a second hand shop here recently!
That is one of those obscure toys which is so homely, its sublime - good find!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I love Sixties plastic Zigg more than anything. One day there will be no plastic and these things will be relics of another age.
DeleteWhat a fun toy. I am sure it provided hours of enjoyment.
ReplyDeleteI agree Paul, mice and earth movers. A winner!
