In 2005, Schuco celebrates the 10th birthday of the “new” Piccolos, which were launched at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in 1995. The collectors’ club can look forward to a new line of packaging.
When the first 12 models in the Schuco Piccolo series were launched in 1957, no-one had any idea that these models would still be extremely popular over 45 years later. Their popularity can be attributed to the “ungainly” design of the models, which was originally caused by the die-casting technology of the time. The Schuco Piccolos are still impressive today with their wonderful running capability and their heavy zinc die-casting design.
