2018/20 Toy of the Week – Futbolista Geyper Gol

El fubolista de Geyper – “Geyper Gol” (aka toyman.ch)

A wonderful toy, produced in Valencia by the company Gey(1945-1986). Their most successful product was the Geyperman, for which they had a license from Hasbro from the USA (G.I. Joe). Originally the colleague muñeco futbolista was designed to distribute balls and not model cars.

The puppet, mid 70s, 55cm high, represents a player of the Spanish national football team and shoots balls with great power into considerable distance. The children could of course try to catch the balls. The part works with two large 1.5V cells. Depending on the condition, the price ranges between 20 and 130 euros. I paid 30 euros. Works, but without balls, ramp and box.

If anyone has a boxed example, I’d be happy to buy it.
