1980/90S UNNUMBERED TOYS
A note on acknowledgments: If I link to someone’s Web site or e-mail address, it means they’re still active in Kinder Surprise trading (as far as I know), and I would be willing to deal with them again. Someone whose name is not linked but is in bold is a person who is no longer actively trading (as far as I can tell), but with whom I would be willing to deal again or recommend to others should they decide to resume trading. Finally, someone whose name is neither linked nor in bold is a person, persons or business with whom I may have traded in the past, but for one reason or another would not do so again in the future. Nor would I recommend that person, persons or business to others, notwithstanding my acknowledgment of them as a source for one or more Kinder Surprise toys on this page.
This section contains unnumbered toys that were issued prior to or in conjunction with K toys during the 1980s and 1990s. It includes Italian/European exclusives as well as recasts of German toys.
BIRDS WITH FLIPPER FEET (COMPLETE SET OF 3)
NB: This set is based on a 1992/93 German one called "Watchseltiere" (Waddlers). For more info on this series, click here and scroll down to “WATSCHELTIERE”.
Duck with flipper feet, which is meant to be rolled along with a pencil. Thanks to the Salvation Army Family Store of Miramar for this one. Click here to see a scan of the paper on another Web site.

ELEPHANT
Elephant* - grey elephant with tusks that move up and down when the tail is pulled back and forth. It's supposed to some with a fence or gatepost, but unfortunately, this is missing. All the same, thanks to Wayne Flint for this one. If you have the accessory that belongs with this toy, or the paper, please e-mail me! Toy Type: Animal Figurine - Elephant. No. of Duplicates: 0
JEEP AND CARAVAN (1 OF 2)
Jeep and Caravan 1* - one of two Jeeps pulling a caravan issued in 1989 in both Germany and the rest of Europe. The Jeep is meant to have a driver, but is missing this. The caravan has both its stickers, but they're pretty worn and one of them is upside down! Also, it appears they've been put on the wrong sides. Nevertheless, thanks to Wayne Flint for this one. Please e-mail me if you have this with the driver or better stickers. Toy Type: Vehicles: Jeep & Caravan. No. of Duplicates: 0
KANGAROO WITH JOEY
Kangaroo and joey, on a wheel. Joey's eyes roll when kangaroo moves. Thanks to Thorndon Antiques and Collectables for this one. This is a recast of the kangaroo from the 1993/94 German “Kulleraugen Tiere” series. It was issued with the K93 series, I think. Click here to see a scan of the Italian paper on another Web site. I’m not entirely certain, but I think it may be a different colour to the German version. Toy Type: Creature on Wheel: Kangaroo. No. of Duplicates: 2 (loose with no paper)
MAGIC BOX
Magic box, recast of the 1992/93 German “Zauberbox”. This was issued with the K93 series. Thanks to Thorndon Antiques and Collectables for this one. Toy Type: Magic Box. No. of Duplicates: 2 (1 mint in capsule, other loose with no paper)

WOMAN WITH DRESS (1 OF 7?)
Woman with Pink Dress* - golden blonde wearing a pink dress and top to match.
