Gattiger ST by Takatoku
Description
This is the standard sized version of the Gattiger combining race car toy made by Takatoku. A larger deluxe version was also made. These toys will often be seen as manufactured by Ceppi Ratti, and Italian company.
I love the graphics on the box. For some reason, I think of the colorful 1972 Topps baseball cards when I see this box.
My particular toy was imported to the US by Space Joe, a distributor that operated out of San Francisco. While some importers are more well known in the industry, I had never heard of Space Joe before.
The toy is laid out neatly in a styrofoam case. As can be seen, the side two cars separate, as does the top yellow vehicle.
Combined, the cars fit nicely together, On the underside, a central wheel set can be lowered to raise the front of the car.
