(English: First German Kinder Surprise’s Toys
Catalogue Guide)
As any other kid, I liked Kinder Surprise eggs.
I got one from time to time, and of course, I kept the toys in a small paper
box. More or less at the same time I received my first micromachines, so if the
surprise in the egg was some kind of vehicle, I could use it together with the
rest of MMs in my Travel City playsets. After a
few years, I missed them all, and sometimes I find parts of these toys in
drawers and boxes. I never thought about them before that.
It was short ago that I started geocaching, and
through this new hobby, I sometimes found figures I liked, and I kept them
(leaving something else in its place). Now I own a few (maybe 10 or 20) very
nice figures, cars…
This book was not interesting to me, but I
found it in a charity flea market and decided to buy it. It was published in
the year 2000, so it’s completely outdated. I didn’t care about this, and the
book was cheap.
I started reading it and watching the pictures,
and I discovered many of my old toys, as well as many others that are great
designs, and that I’d like to see sometime. The book covers everything from the
very first figure to the year 2000 releases, as well as toys from other
surprise eggs like Tombola, Nestlé, and many more apart from Kinder/Ferrero. Promotional
Ferrero toys are also there, so it is quite a complete guide.
Figures are sorted by type, like for example:
cars, trains, plastic figures, puzzles,… so it’s easy and funny to search
through it. If you like plastic figures you should at least own one of these
guides, maybe a more actual one. My guide has around 800 pages...

By the way, sorry for the quality of the pictures, it's a thick book and therefore difficult to photograph.
Is the Ferrero Land-Rover toy in there? And if so, is it under 1977, or a different year? I never realised that there was such a book.
ReplyDeleteHi! Yes, there are for sure some Land Rovers there, but not sure if any of them made before 1977. The Kinder Surprise by Ferrero started in 1974, and during those first years the toys were not so detailed. I´ll check the guide and email you, if I find any picture you may like. Thanks for reading!
