[1] Some of the products currently commercialised by Schuco include die-cast scale model cars, aircraft, ships, and commercial vehicles.

[4] Before World War II there were also a number of 'gnome'-like wind-up figures and soldiers sometimes called blacksmiths – finished in creative colorful attire.

[5] Schuco 'Studio' cars had a starting crank, removable wheels, varied gearing and rack and pinion steering.

One notable Studio car was the Luigi Fagioli Auto Union Avus 'Streamline', built in 1937, which came in a detailed box, complete with tools.

[citation needed] The Schuco 'Command 2000' car was voice activated, by speaking loudly or blowing through louvres in the roof, it would start or stop on command.

In the late 1940s, Schuco again began tin toy assembly – this time focusing a bit more on the broader European and international market.

During the 1950s there was a shift to plastic (especially for larger scales) and diecast metal, introduced in the Piccolo series in 1958, became commonplace for models in the early 1970s.

The Varianto system was sold for fifteen years and was immensely popular as a much cheaper alternative to electric train sets, having similar features and limited in layout only by the owner's imagination.

[8] Edward Force wrote that Schuco's first consistent foray into diecast toys was in 1958 when the 1:90 scale 'Piccolo' series was introduced.

[10] With a windup key, the 1:45 scale Micro Racer cars would zip around, yet could also be pushed forward or backward without harming the wind-up mechanism.

[12] The 1:12 scale BMW 3.0 CSL Coupe in racing colors had switches to turn on and off head, tail and hazard lamps.

[13] A 1:16 scale Porsche 911 was cleverly equipped with an electric horn that sounded with two tones and a set of studded rally tires that could be placed on the vehicle after raising it with a functioning jack.

The car, similar to the BMW, ran with a smooth electric motor forward and reverse and also had working steering.

Schuco's diecast 1:43 scale line in the 1970s was extremely precise in detail with near perfect proportion to the real cars.

[3] Edward Force writes that about the time of the Gama purchase, Schuco dies were sold off to many other companies in different countries.

In 1996, Schuco became independent again and saw a revival, producing a wide variety of collectible models, with many newly designed castings, but many being exact replicas of earlier lines.

For example, the classic BMW 2000 sedan has a multi-colored interior, very tiny logo decals on the centers of the wheels, and more realistic clear plastic lights.

One author wrote that the Schuco 2000's appearance was crisp because there were no opening features – which often causes the mismatching of body panels.

In 2023, Schuco became a part of Minimax Import & Export Co. Ltd.,[1] a French model car manufacturer which has famous brands such as Spark and Bizarre, which stake had been acquired by Simba Dickie in 2021.
