Absolutely Retro! I had one of these and completely saved a Thunderbird Motel from ALL potential spies in '65 . . .thanks for the journey back in the "WayBack Machine" . . .I will now show my kids what a REAL spy kit looks like . . .thanks again !
I wish shit like this was around when I was a kid. All we had were cheap shit you buy at a dollar store. Playdough was the bomb though, I had unlimited tutie fruitie growing up (which is like playdough) dad had a promotion deal with the company!
A great way to make money, find the kid who was a homosexual and buy the toys his parents wanted him to play with. Any boy who owned one of these guns and didn't break it or lose bullets on the neighbour's roof or up the cat's arse must have been queer.
I have a Mattel Tommy Burst Video. I also have a Mattel Snub Nose 38 Detective Set video and a Mattel Tommy Burst Detective Set , as well here on youtube. Search my vids and you'll find em. Thanks for the interest.
I got that as a kid. It became very popular type of toys after the "Spy movie wave" triggered by the early James Bond (From Russia with Love) I think was the trigger. Mattel did a lot of secret agent toys that would convert to weapons (radio turning into rifle, secret ink writing pen, camera turning into pistol). I am guilty of enjoying those - and I pursued a career in the military later on. Thank you for bringing these precious memories back to us,
I'm happy to bring folks those precious memories of a time long gone. Great explanation about the "Spy Craze" in the 60's. Toy makers were quick to cash in on the popularity of the spy movies and TV shows. Yes, Mattel put out the "Zero M" line of spy toys, where, as you explain, ordinary items, such as camera's, radios, pocket knives, etc. would transform into an arsenal that only a "60's Young Spy" would enjoy!
I got one of these for Christmas 1966. Other than my Western Auto knock off of the Schwinn Stingray bike and the Lil Indian mini-bike we got in '68, this was my favorite toy ever. Thanks for sharing this!
You can find the S.S. commercial here on youtube with the fat kid. Deluxe Reading was the parent company of Topper Toys. Google Deluxe Reading Corporation and you'll find a website about the company and its toys. I also have some D.R. toy vids here on youtube.
@junkietomato yeah your right cause it looks really real kids thought that the can really kill people of realistic toys so now toys like toyguns like this is no not realistic at all
If you like this one, be sure to check out the "Screaming Mee Mee E" rifle video that I have here on youtube. A terrible weapon designed by the CIA to get Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi to quit lying and admit she was briefed and approved water boarding against al Qaeda terror suspects.
You can find these on Ebay. Many show up, but many are missing pieces. You may have to piece one together. The tough part is finding a case that doesn't have broken hinges. Broken hinges, in my opinion, really detracts from its desirability and value too. Good luck
I had something similar, but I didn't have a periscope or silencer. There was a spring loaded mortar that fired a plastic shell. Mine did have the camera and pistol that could be used with the case closed. I think it was a cheaper copy of this toy.
Sounds logical to me. I always found it tough to swallow that spies would carry briefcases around with guns in them. To hard to get to in time of need. A shoulder holster would work better, but with the Secret Sam, you could shoot the gun by pushing on the button on the side of the attache case.
I assume you grew up in the 60's as a kid so you grew up while James Bond was in the movies if you catch my drift, but have you seen either Spy Kids or Agent Cody Banks of today?
I always try to find toys that have minimal problems, such as, no pieces missing, no broken pieces and the box has to be in good condition too. Having said that, I've also had to painstakingly piece sets together by buying incomplete sets or loose pieces and empty boxes.
My friend had this awesome toy.I had the Man From Uncle gun set and it also came in a case with different attachments,does anyone remember this gun? I cant find any information about it.
I don't remember the Man from Uncle having cases, but that doesn't mean they didn't. I know there were some James Bond 007 attache case gun sets produced.
I remember this...a buddy of mine had one when we were kids...I was very envious of him! I did have some Johnny Eagle guns though-which I still have along with my Mattel M16 Marauder!

dezurtdude2 3 years ago
Glad to
hear it Good Buddy!:)
I got thinking about all this spy stuff & how they always hide stuff in cases.
Today that's become a trademark, but you'd think the enemy spy would know what the case has in it.
I'm surprised they haven't hid them in backpacks.You know, it's an oridnary looking
backpack only it has extraoridnary high tech spy gear inside.
Besides today people use backpacks for all sorts of things.
Might be a dumb question, but what do you
think of that idea DezurtDude2?
TomtheMan68 3 years ago

I assume you grew up in the 60's as a kid so you grew up while James Bond was in the movies if you catch my drift, but have you seen either Spy Kids or Agent Cody Banks of today?
If so, what do you think of these Junior
secret agents?
TomtheMan68 3 years ago
Ran out of space again!
I usually imagined myself as not any secret agent, but a Double Agent a kid who worked on both sides the Hero side & the enemy side
anything to save the world in a world where
nothing was what it appeared to be.
TomtheMan68 3 years ago
OPPS!
Ran out of space there!
Agent Zero O M was a series of commercials that stared a young Kurt Russel who imagined himself as a secret agent.
Hey!What kid
hasn't imagined himself as a secret agent at one time in his life?
I believe one commercial
also had the actor who played Alfred in the
60's BatMan tv series.
TomtheMan68 3 years ago
Ther is a Zero M commercial with Kurt Russel here on youtube.
dezurtdude2 3 years ago
I didn't grow up in the 60's,
but I do know about Secret Sam & several other spy toys throughout the 60's. I got a couple of questions to ask.
1.)How do you manage
to find these old toys in such good condition?
(You're mighty lucky)
2.)I'd be tempted if you had Agent Zero O M toys by Mattel.Did you ever hear of Agent Zero O M?
