Vintage Topper Toys Johnny Seven One Man Army 1964

[Rockstargodz]

were did u get it

[Wavemaster1653]

This must have never been used. I had one when I was 7. I think Dad wanted it for himself. I used it "normally" for a few weeks and it was destroyed. Too many moving parts.

[rayc5577]

saw some cool army toys for kids on a website called 'myliltoybox' . check them out

[dillysgirl4ever]

I remember a neighbor kid had one of these back in the day. He would play army with it along with my brother and all their friends.

[bluejay55118]

johnny to peter, johnny to peter. roger...open fire!

[Inthepostoffice]

I had one of these.

[Rotard12a]

Wasn't there a 80's/90's equivalent to this? Had a few "modes" and a big knife I think...

...haven't been able to find anything about it

[kam75]

i had one...i wish i still had one.... mmmm

[zukeydick]

Just what Myron the Mailman always wanted but never got. Jingle All the Way is the tits.

[Segatotheextreme1]

im geting one

[kalifson]

I went to get two of these for my little brothers for my mom, who didnt know what they wanted. Where is the helmet? You MUST have the Johnny seven OMA one man army helmet. That was a MUST.

[CommodusSPQR]

My brother I had one each - I can't tell you how the memories came flooding back there!

[99f234]

I bought one of these recently at a garage sale for a buck. It's missing all the accessories, though. Good video, thanks!

[gamer1200000]

the armour piercing didnt realy pirce

[Oliver200101]

My dad says he always wanted a johnny 7, never got one though =/

[cjwhiteltd]

That bloke thought he was 7 again. Americans are so dumb

[EvanQuinn07]

I had one when I was a kid....wish I still had it ..also had the "Man from UNCLE" camera gun and radio rifle...they were cool too

[TheSunmanho]

to paraphrase my wife: "My God this is so BIG!" - how are children supposed to handle this?

[AndWeJustGoMoo]

why is this not a special weapon on CoD?

[ten8goa]

To set up such an elaborate table and back drop, it must be for sale.But, its gonna cost ya.

[Mr8125917]

looks better than nerf lol

[zombiefighter321]

nice cat impression... lol

[ArcticHellfire]

I love America!

[StikkyNaide2Face]

I think the armor piercing round is a dud. lol

[Damoskinos]

How much if you wanted to but one as an antique?

[urantiruslan]

good god they actuly made decent toy back then

[qttroassi]

what are fuckin kidding, you can't go around with something like that cops might think it's real ...

[kitanotom36]

They should put that kind of weapon in a video game

[thundercloud47]

I came upon this after seeing on the news where they are making it illegal to sell even a nerf gun illegal in Hawaii. In other words they won't even be able to sell the pansyfied toy guns of the present day there.I never owed a toy like this when I was a kid, I made do with my imagination.Tree limbs were either Tommy guns or Bazookas. This was done at school too. I'd hate to be a kid these days. They'd have me and my friends in lockup faster than you could say Ralph Nader.

[oddjobjujitsu]

this is for when kids were allowed to have an imagination

[ImTheKillerClown]

My little bro bought one on a local market. but its missing alot of things..

Still this thing is AMAZING!

[ReconMon]

GIVE IT!!

[skateRathobo207]

why the hell now are kids toys so anti war! there what boys were suppost to play with well and trucks and cars and toy tool sets but really why so little gun toys!

[puggy3242]

@KingEinzeller y u say tht twice? -.-

[KingEinzeller]

@puggy3242 YT bug

[puggy3242]

Now they just have those Nerf Guns... This is way more fun! And I'm a girl, I don't like this kind of stuff, but I have to admit it's pretty cool! :D

[koukku23]

damn i miss those days when toy guns were epic

[realamericanMarines]

lol that grenade launcher looks like it might actualy sting a little

[w4rr10r11]

That looks so badly designed. If they bring it back, hopefully they can make it better looking.

[robharding1957]

like the toys of this period,they dont make commercials like this today,the magic just aint there,when i was about five i desperately wanted a johnny seven, but it never happened,great days of such quality living,shame weve got so much crap around,life should be a great time for all time,,,,,,,,,,,,for everybody,,

[katrus]

They really need to re-release this. Just make the end safety orange and everyone'll be happy.

[xXFlockofGriffinsXx]

Ha ha ha! I was actually expecting it to be black and white.

[pigwigpa]

the armor piercing is a little disappoint

[Jeremy252]

@pigwigpa Yeah. It sucks that this children's toy can't actually pierce armor. -_-

[YouTumult]

Test it against real tanks and bunkers. Or at least random strangers. lol

[34D2234]

they dont make these anymore if you cant find a intact one on ebay, you might be able to get kim jong ill of north korea to sell you one for a cup of soup since all north koreas troops still use them to secure their borders.

[dezurtdude]

@34D2234 ...Or maybe Iran can produce one and hand it out to kids there and call it "Jihad Johnny"!

[rxrosco]

@34D2234 just checked and yep....sure enough, comment like that, youre american

[peteyzfr1]

@rxrosco and maybe you could be a yank too as you cant fucking spell

[rxrosco]

@34D2234 

[jlmurc]

Thanks, many many happy memories. If only I had saved mine and could step back in time from my 50 years. Ace................

John M

[cvp500]

omfg! can you still find these on ebay?

[RickRandy69]

oh man if nerf only came out with a modern day equivalent

[Forillagorilla22]

get a life

[SuperNutty23]

had one as a kid and loved it...thanks 4 the memory..

[classicgamerguy112]

looks kinda fragile

[lanni5150]

Thats a hell of a lot better than the barbie's I was Forced to play with.

[nitojo7]

Thats fricking cool, I wish they still made toys like this, its almost 60 years old but beats any of those nerf guns today.

[sirfinks]

Man...toy guns used to be awesome!  I had one similar in the 80's. It was called The A-TEAM gun. I'm sure it was just redesigned for a different generation. I still have it.

[Peacehipie]

That's perfect condition! sell it at sotheby's and you could get a chunk of money for that

[LovricF]

@Peacehipie but the pistol is kinda deffect.

[Tyranid90]

Are these still buyable?

[ste309w]

christ its a big bugger! Would need 2 kids to carry it!

Reminds me a toy gun a school friends had. It was an electric M60 that had a working ammunition belt and could be broken down into about 4 small SMG's. Would have been about late 80's early 90's.

Toys suck these days. When I have kids of mine my own I dreadthe toys I'll have to buy them.

[tobz5050]

@ste309w These guns are like the start of airsoft

[writerian]

Loved this gun. It was so much fun. I gotta thank you for posting this because it brought back some great memories.

[rusher38]

world's first OICW!

[NoizyInSeattle]

I got one of those for Christmas..in 1964 I guess. God it was fun!

[tjnesryan]

which will win Johny seven or the screaming mee mee rifle

[Juggalo5588]

They dont even make toys this cool now adays, Too many liberal A-holes who think just because kids play with toy guns that we automaticly are going to be violent. This is the neatest toy ever!!! its really cool to see one that old that still works!

[orlandobands]

I need one.

[loc645]

its cool i like it..,,look no orange tip on the front of it ....lol

[Setebos]

I clearly remember the Johnny Seven. I received it for Christmas in 1964 and, upon finding it under the tree, early in the morning, immediately commenced to open fire. From that point on, Christmas gifts were opened on Christmas Eve.

[tourama]

I always wanted one but never got one ,

[shoopwhoopX]

but you have to have some knowledge of somethings to get the $150 to buy this back in the day

[shoopwhoopX]

damn complicated

[vawlkee]

I had the Multipistol 09 also by Topper as I recall.

In fact I still have it but as a teen I modified it extensively but you can still tell what it was.

There was a hinged door at the bottom of the gun butt that hid a small metal derringer.

In '65 Mattell jumped on the spy bandwagon and reintroduced several of their weapons modified to look like spy items.

I won't even go into the Ideal stuff I had based on "The Man From UNCLE"... Not enough space here!

[WildmanBorneo]

Nice one !

[SteveSmith26]

This looks to have a surprinsingly high quality for a toy.

[sllywbt]

The armour piercing round was the most deadliest...lololol...Thanks, for posting brings back memories

[jongeler]

why is tehre such a delay from when the trigger is pulled and when the bullet comes out?

[Hypernl]

Great! Thay should make this for the military.

[keltyk]

Well Hypernl... I believe our British Military DO have those in Afghanistan. Some real equipment would be nice though

[sub40]

I had this gun as a kid and it was awesome. Spring loaded shots...fantastic. Always searching for those bullets behind the radiator though.

PS I got older and would never get that for my kids. lol

[Blackbolt4prez]

I will never forget the day that my dad bought me this toy gun from an antique toy show. He remembered having one from when he was a kid, and I fell in love with it instantly.

It was in shabby condition, and missing most of its standard ammunition, so I improvised. I used to load pens into the side-mounted launcher, which would expel them with near lethal force! Maybe not lethal, but certainly impressive.

[grannman]

That toy is pure awesome. 5 stars.

[mackface]

Man, I loved my J-7. Got it for Christmas, one year. (What WERE my parents THINKING? I wouldn't give MY kid one of those. Ha, ha.)

Those little white bullets friggin' HURT! They were hard plastic - and solid. Sure would love to have one now.

Browncoat ... now that you mention it, I seem to recall some wood-graining, too. If not the pistol grip, then SOMEWHERE. Not sure, though.

Were ours, in Canada, different from those in the US?

[petrino]

your a bad father :P give your kids guns!!

[gulfscuba]

You could put an eye out with that thing!

[KallMehKiba]

oh my godd!! im jelous now... maan i wish i was born in the 60's stuipid 90's

[pirateblackbart]

My brother knocked down the Christmas tree with a Johnny 7 missile.

[DJ1SCY]

They need to put that toy back on sale. A lot of today's kids would love to have that.

[w4rr10r11]

@DJ1SCY They need the Tommy Burst.

[seegodthenbrake]

G'day Chuck ,

Sorry for late reply , thanks for the link for replica ammo . I have bought it all from red . Regarding factory in Australia , not that I am aware off , most Australians have never seen or heard of the J7. I had mine as a kid in England , the 1 that I got for my birthday came via Ebay from America . I know postage is expensive , might leave the cleaning for now . Thanks for your help...cheers

[rick6393]

Dez ,YOur a lucky guy. My Mother won't let me play with mine in the house

[reesj1967]

Can anyone tell me how much these are

worth ?

I found one when renovating a house

a few years ago

Thanks

[seegodthenbrake]

G'day ,

If it has the original ammunition & all functions work , maybe $400 - $600 u.s dollars , depends on the condition on the gun . If it has the original box as well then add another $100 to the price . Hope this helps

[Bobby61557]

hahahah I was there the day they first came out and I was glad to have it but the hippies didnt ruin anything They saved alot of lives and their girlfriends wore see through shirts I grew up in a Peace Love Dope nudist area. There was enough wool showing to knit yourself a winter sweater. I enjoyed all the different size tits ass and coochie mmmm its all good

[Bobby61557]

Dude if ever there were fighting words You better not let her rread this or you an Jonny 7 OMA will wind up prisoners of war in a concetration camp

[Bobby61557]

The spring for the cap has probably worked free and now theres no mechanism to pop the caps. I loved mine I was 7 when I got it

[Bobby61557]

I owned one of the Jonny Seven OMA guns I got it when it first came out. You lose things really fast in the weeds and brush but me and my brother blew the shit out of the Christmas Tree. Sinabd talks about it in his Stand up routine

[airsofter85]

does it hurt to get hit buy any thing

[mclaine33]

Awesome toy gun! I wish I had that

Now why can they not make something like this for the troops to fight the real war?

[seegodthenbrake]

At the moment I only have the 10 plastic bullets ,but I am looking for the rest of the ammo . I have found a guy in America who is willing to make reproduction ammo & ship to me here in Australia , but he won't have ammo until the endof Jan , can you recommend anyone ? To say I freaked out would be an understatement , how easy are they to pull apart & clean ? I have the technical skills of a 1 armed kangaroo , who has consumed a carton of beer !

[seegodthenbrake]

awesome gun , I had one as a kid but it was confiscated when I shot the dog in the ass ! never saw it again ! the gun that is . Imagine my surprise when I finally was re-united with a Johnny Seven for my 49th birthday last week ! Both of my dogs are now ducking for cover & my girlfriend gets checking her ass for a target ! Best toy ever...love it to bits

[BayonetWarFilms]

Very nice! I remember the first time these appeared, and I had the Combat! Vic Morrow Thompson. Unfortunately, the Thompson only made noise. A group of us kids were out in a wooded area, and up popped the local opposition kids from down the city street. They charged at us like Indians with their Johnny Sevens, and we all ran like hell home. This would had been about 1965. I will never forget these deadly weapons :) well at least to kids. Thanks for posting the working model!

[TOALewa20]

my dad must have had that!!!!!!!!!!!!! but all he had levt was the red missiel and the pistol but the pistol is broke

[CalverWeems]

Check out the Prevatt Christmas 1965 home movie (watch?v=2JCAOe_4nQs) and see a kid playing with his brand new Johnny Seven O M A Gun!

[strngmnkjc1]

i rilly want one pleas

[newEnglandpatriot]

I am 49 years old and still have mine wrapped in a plastic bag in the basement of my parents. i also belonged to The Man From Uncle club and have the gun that came with including the silencer ! What can I say. I wasn't heavy handed and didn't break my toys !Oh yeah. The Mugumba rifle and M16 I have too. I could go on.

[waltonmt]

I hate people like you, newEngland-lmao-What I didn't wreck, my mom tossed out.Now I have to go on youtube and watch all the other guys play with their stuff.

[username444100]

kool could i buy some

[rolandnatze]

nice american culture...

[killfrog12]

That actually looks like it could hurt lol the grenade looked like it had 100 pounds of pressure lol

[lolguy321]

Clicker? isnt it trigger?

[TMoorej]

I was like Arnold, I wanted one but my Dad wouldn't buy it for me, but I got alot of other cool stuff instead, like a Race arific car track

[dogmandude3690]

heck i wonder how much you could sell it for!?

[toobian2]

not sure what the diffrence between the armor peircing missile and the anti bunker missile is

must be the penetration on the shaped charge har har

cool stuff

[dj4800]

Dude don't take this the wrong way but it is a great collectible, but your are too old for that. Now go out and get a real gun like me or the other half of America.

[dezurtdude]

No offense taken, but what makes you think I don't own any real weapons?????

[dj4800]

Just a quess...was I right?

[airsoftguy85rocks]

@dezurtdude

does that toy still work?

[deepace]

@dj4800 get your gunn and kill yourself.

[Gospodean]

Hah! The only thing I was ever able to hit with the grenade launcher was the roof of my house.

Ah, those were the days.

p.s. I think "pwnage" is a compliment.

[dylf14]

lol holy that pwns

[dezurtdude]

What are you saying?????

[dylf14]

its a pwnage toy 4 kids...

[yutaja]

@dezurtdude he means that it can kill alot of people

[maicomasher]

I still have mine. The grenade is missing and the folding bipod was broken during a very dangerous volunteer combat mission near the Rock River in 1964.

[airsoftlamblover]

OMH i wont one, my dad had one when he was he was a kid !

[EvanQuinn07]

I had one when I was a kid, I loved it also had a Johnny Eagle M-14/.45

[dezurtdude]

Thanks for viewing the vid. Topper produced many great toy guns that would be politically incorrect today. The Johnny Eagle rifles were very cool too.

[dezurtdude]

Yup, these puppies are amazing. Thanks for viewing.

[Kharkovkid]

I remember it back then as being called The Johnny Multi-Seven...Guess I was wrong

[dezurtdude]

Well, there was the "Multi-Pistol 09" which Topper Toys also made. It is a spy gun that has nine function. I have one posted here on youtube.

[dezurtdude]

I finally go to see a picture of the Mark V. There is one on ebay right now. It is missing pieces and you can sure tell it is a cheap knock off. As you said, no comparison. They are worlds apart!

[goldenagenut]

Where did you find that? I let one get by me at the Tallahassee flea market a couple of years ago damn it!

[dezurtdude]

I put this one together from various gun parts from junk rifles. I refurbish these and sell them. You can find them on ebay and they turn up quite often and I guess flea markets too.

[goldenagenut]

Cool. I've kicked myself many times for not buying it for 25.00, it was missing two missles and the grenade but had everything else, dag nabbit!!! :( Instead I got a Remco toy bazooka that is friggin awesome, even as an adult it's cool to hold and play with! lol I wish I'd had enough for both though!

[dezurtdude]

You are correct! The remco bazooka is a friggin awesome toy.

[dezurtdude]

I've never seen or heard of the Mark 5. Do you have any pictures of it? Thanks for viewing.

[LunaticCalm]

Holy crap! My dad was literally telling me about how he used to have one of these MAYBE ten minutes ago!

Toys from the 60's were the best.

[dezurtdude]

Cool! Yup, toys from the 60's rule! Thanks for viewing the vid.

[dezurtdude]

Mattel made lots of toy guns in the 50's and 60's. Their hayday seems be the late 50's into the mid 60's. Mattel and other companies began getting many protests from parents concerned about gun violence and the un-popularity of the Vietnam War caused sales of toy gun, especially military, to plummet. Mattel made many toy gun based on detectives, the military and the Wild West. Mattel pushed their "Greenie M" Stickem Caps" which produced the "pop" when shells were fired.

[Doommarine23]

Sure, inflation, but you gotta admit, the 3 dollar stuff now is a big let down D:.

[dezurtdude]

I agree. I don't frequent toy stores to see what they have, but they sure don't make em like they did in the sixties. My interest is in the vintage stuff.

[dezurtdude]

Not exactly what that works out to in today's dollar value, but as an example, a candy bar cost you 5 cents, a coke cost a dime. $10.00 was probably around $100.00 today (I'm guessing). You can find these on ebay fairly easily, but finding them without problems is another story. A boxed Johnny Seven with all accessories will set you back anywhere from $350.00-$600.00 depending on condition, and how frenzied the bidders are.

[Doommarine23]

Makes me wish I was born in the 40s/50s not the damned 90s. I swear, little toy guns (not airsoft) like cap guns are crappy for 3$. While the Tommy burst was nice at 3$. Infact, how much did the Johnny Seven cost?

[dezurtdude]

See reply above. Thanks.

[dezurtdude]

You are correct! This baby first appeared in 64 and was the best selling toy that year!

[gamersoldier]

they sale this on ebay!

[dezurtdude]

Yup, you can find these on ebay. I've sold tons of em on ebay or as some now call it "Feebay".

[bigzebb]

Outstanding !! this brings back so many memories !!! I never ever did get one though !

[dezurtdude]

Glad you enjoyed the video even though its quality is crummy.

[zeno57]

I had one for a year but it got handed down to a poor cousin.THAX for the vid ,5 stars

[CHANNELOMD]

fucking superb

[dezurtdude]

Thanks!

[SolarTiger]

Wow!..think of any obscure toy from your youth and YouTube will have it...it's kinda creepy to think that this was a "toy" from my youth...especially with 'Nam looming large on the horizon...training toy for future grunts...I'd like to think not...

[dezurtdude]

I'd like to think they weren't training Jr. for war too but I do think they were grooming "Johnny" for war. At the time, "Nam" was happening and I remember playing war for hours upon end! There were many toys based on War from the endless television shows and movies dealing with WWII (WWII was only over for 20 years then)such as Combat, Rat Patrol, 12 O'Clock High, Garrison's Guerilla's, The Dirty Dozen, The Green Berets, etc.

[maxlimbo007]

What a trip! I had one in 64 as a Xmas present...I had HOURS of fun! One of the best toy guns ever made! This is too much! To finally be able to see it again after all these years...and someone cool enough to post it on youtube! WITH a demo!

PAX

[dezurtdude]

Thanks for your comments. This was the best selling toy of 1964 and you can see why!

[dezurtdude]

Your Dad was right! This is one awesome toy that allowed a 10 year old backyard warrior the superior firepower a vivid imagation needed! Watch for a Johnny Seven to appear on ebay very soon. I'm on ebay under the same name as here on youtube.

[Salva22]

epic :) my dad always goes on about how this was a real toy and u could have so much fun with it, been trying to find 1 on ebay to get him for a laugh for a while now

[GTOUGH]

All I wanted when I was a kid in Oxford UK in the mid '60s was a Johnny Seven. My parents never let me have one. This probably explains how I turned out like I did!!!

[dezurtdude]

This is a pretty awesome toy! So, how did you turn out? Hopefully not like the guys on your video on your profile page. This Johnny Seven, not Johnny Jihad! LOL. Take care

[GTOUGH]

Fortunately I turned out okay (I think!) but I always remember how I wanted a Johnny Seven but didn't get one. Never thought I'd see a video of one on the web. Wonder if they're worth anything?

[SargentRay]

Absolutely Incredible research and work you are doing, congradulations. I had one when i was about 4-5 y.o. never forgot it. I would be interested in buying one if you're selling and willing to ship in Canada providing i pay yhe fees. please respond or tell me when you will have it on e-bay.

Thanks, Raymond

Montreal Canada

[zeno57]

How did you turn out collecting guns like me.I dont coolect old guns ,but firepower is what I like.If the johnny seven was real,id have one.LOL

[dezurtdude]

I like real guns too, but being a toy collector, having a Johnny Seven was a natural option. All my friends had these when I was a kid but my folks couldn't afford it. The al Qaeda terrorists would crap their pants if the Johnny Seven OMA was real. Thanks for viewing my vid.
