Das Siku Buch

It's more than just a toy. They are PS legends made of metal, heroes of the play streets, protagonists and stars of endless fantasy and adventure stories - and brought to life in children's rooms throughout the world for generations: toy cars from siku. Each one is a true-to-original replica of a PS icon, perfectly made on a small scale and meticulously made from high-quality materials to make children's eyes shine for decades and enrich countless toy vehicle parks. As a young boy, Christian Blanck was also a big fan of siku cars. When he became a father, the old love flared up again. Blanck went in search of the bodywork heroes of his childhood. And he found (almost) all of them: "Played Tatütatas, damaged Yellow Angels, PS monsters - lowered and pimped - and real classics," says Blanck. And he photographed them, staged them and dedicated a book to them: "The siku Book" is the fourth illustrated book in the "Children's Room Heroes" book series, in which the photographer and author brings together the heroes of his childhood and brings back memories of childhood days . "Everyone will find themselves here," promises Blanck, "whether it's the family carriage with patina from the semi-detached generation or the battered construction site hero with a shovel. All siku cars have one thing in common: they were loved. They were defended. They were played.” ISBN: 978-3-667-12659-7 1st edition 2023 Delius Klasing Verlag 224 pages 250 photos and illustrations
