Can anybody identify these missiles?

Post by Thepowerofdreams »

Hello,
I did already post this question in another forum, but without success.
Therefore I want to give it another try here:

I found this missiles in my storage of Corgi Toys spares and always thought they are made by Corgi toys.
Meanwhile I (believe) to own all Corgi toys that can shoot missiles - and I can say, they do not fit to any of them.

So - can anybody identify these missile?

I don't recall seeing these before, they look like Corgi but the ones that spring to mind don't fit with what I remember (Hanomag/Batmobile/Bond Lotus or Toyota/Green Hornet, Star Fighter, etc).

(Are there any Juniors/Huskys or other perhaps other brands that used little red missiles?)

To me the missiles look "cheap" - made of inferior quality plastic. As a child I had a secret agent briefcase with a tiny pistol built into a cigarette pack. The missiles remind me of the ammunition that pistol used, except for the colour. I think the missiles belong to some Hong Kong toy but I don't know which - not necessarily a vehicle.

I am sure that the missiles are not from the well known brands Corgi/Dinky/Matchbox. Batmobile missiles and Corgi tank shells have no groove to hold them in position. And most of the other Corgi rockets have a narrow tail end. The only Husky/Junior shooting missiles was the UNCLE Piranha but they look similar to the Lotus rockets. Dinky rockets and tank shells are different too.

That was my first thought too but it is too long ago to remember exactly.
