  • 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 !

  • The quality of kids toys back in the day!

  • 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!

  • Yes - I, too, had one of these. Part of my 'Man From Uncle' craze...

    Great to see this again - thank you. Mine was stolen while on a mission thwarting THRUSH in SE Asia...

  • "you guessed it !" nio i didnt xD

  • I had one of those as a kid. sweet

  • Wow, I'm a kid from the 90's and all the stuff we could get were $1 dollar plastic guns from Taiwan and shyt. Damn, you guys had the REAL thing.

  • Had one!  I think I used the periscope more than anything else.

  • i have one of those!

  • this just shows the parents now adays hate this kind a toy and it shows the wimpyness of my genaration

  • I had one of these too

  • I had the Secret Sam and my neighbor had the 007 case. We had fun with those. Thanks for the video.

  • That is a RAD toy! Too bad kids today are brought up to be whimps.

  • my brother tormented me for years with secret sam the bastard wouldn't let me play with it.

  • 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 will give you a million dollars.

  • I used to own one of these. I wish that I still did :(

  • Comment removed

  • OMG! I had all but forgotten the "message missile"!

  • Damn 60s kids and their awesomely realistic guns!

  • I had this when I was 8 in the mid 60's. I miss our dangerous toys.

  • @photobart1 lol

  • Most of these toys are inspired by the cold war and red scare.

  • were do u get these? do u have the tommy burp 38.specail

  • @4Joga4

    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.

  • @dezurtdude that secret sam looks cool i have a origional johhy seven oma or one man army mint shape

  • 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,

  • @lancelot1953

    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!

  • are you nicholas cage? :)

  • Oh, take that case on an airliner today. TSA would freak.

  • Man, does this ever bring back some memories.

  • I wouldn't let my child play with realistic looking gun toys, because some stupid cop would shoot him without warning.

  • because America is not a free country anymore :(

  • I remember something like this. Was there a toy like that that came with a mortor? I seem to remember a mortor.

  • my god I got one of those for christmas in the mid 60s

  • @republicslasthope

    That missile is supposed to be an "Anti-Tank" missile.

  • cool !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

  • 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!

  • -sigh- i wish we had good toy guns and crap like this =[...

  • i almost mistaked this toy for a real gun

  • I see this.

  • I had this one too!

    I remember the TV ad that had a fat kid, a-la Goldfinger that the "agent" had to photograph and then escape from.

    I had fun with this and all my other spy stuff.

    I remember that a company named "Deluxe Reading" sold their toys only through grocery store outlets and became Topper Toys later.

    Does anyone remember that?

  • 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.

  • Why arent toy guns nowaday's like those!?

  • because now people think realistic toy guns will turn kids into criminals and murderers.

  • @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

  • @junkietomato Real guns turn kids into people who know not to mess around with guns.

  • @junkietomato and Police officers are ignorant and think a little kid is gonna walk around with a real gun...so they shoot the kid

  • @junkietomato And chemistry sets turn them into terrorists and druglords :/

  • I wanted one of these.

  • wow cool gun

  • now i want this

  • That's a damn cool toy. Pitty by the time I was born toy guns had to be bright colors and shaped like alligators.

  • im talling the pooliice

  • Wow! Toy guns were so awesome back in the day. These days you can't find a decent gun section in toy shops over here.

  • @IconOfSin88 i know right

  • @IconOfSin88 true that

  • I love how old toys were so cool but all the nineties kids got gypped hardcore.

  • thts cool where can i get one?

  • your very frekin lucky to have that gun

  • 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.

  • This took me back. I had one of these, you could send messages hidden ih the red projectile.

  • Where can I get these toys? They are awesome!

  • Hi,

    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.

  • My Parents

    always did say I was a hyperactive kid with an

    overactive imagination.

    Sorry to bore you with so many comments about nothing on this one video

    Dezurtdude!

  • Hey, I'm not bored. I post the vids and you guys comment. That's what its all about.

  • 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?

  • 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'm curious.

    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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Ther is a Zero M commercial with Kurt Russel here on youtube.

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • Does your Marauder still function? That is an awesome toy rifle and so are the Johnny Eagle guns.
