Feb 12 The Dinky Toy 88mm Gun, Carpet Battle King

Dinky Ltd is one of the most famous and popular Toy makers in the world. Dinky’s toy cars, trucks and military vehicles are fantastic toys and heavily collected. Dinky knew how to make toys that straddled the line between being a toy and model. In the 70's Dinky was producing great military toys that were among the kings of carpet toy battles in North America and Europe. Among their best was the Dinky 88mm Gun! As a replica of the German gun from WWII it was made to shoot plastic shells at castles, toy soldiers and tanks. Take a look at what made it so special!

It is one of the best toy cannons ever made-- the DINKY 88. COLLECTOR GUYS shows you all the versions, features and why it is a sought after fan favorite. Thanks to collectors Andy Mills, John Knox and Jim Larson for their great photos and info!
