Topper Toys 1965 Secret Sam Attache Case Weapons Set

A vintage classic. There are Secret Sam commercials here on youtube. This set was part of the 60's spy craze and many spy related toys were made. I forgot to mention in the video that the long red missile is the message missile. You wrote and stored a message inside the red missile head and it was then ready for firing.

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!

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.

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

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 !
