CODE NAME SPY TOY BLOG INTRODUCTION

Welcome to my new Blog, many thanks to everyone who followed my old blog,the new blog is dedicated to my pursuit of spy toys, guns gadgets & cars of the 50's 60's & 70's, and a bit of 80's if its cool & trashy enough..i will try and focus mainly the obscure Hong Kong Knock off toys that were mass produced around this time,a lot of these are Fascinating and feature great art and just about get away with being as close to Bond & Uncle as possible, without being sued!
After many Google searches, nothing came up about these kind of toys, so i guess a list about how many were made would be impossible to find even a book about Spy toys of the 60's didn't mention them..sooooo this is..



A Blog about  My Pursuit of Vintage Spy/Secret agent toys Focusing mainly on the Unusual Knock off variations that were issued in the 60's & 70's and some of our own custom created toys..The rules are i only feature toys i own, i need that hands on approach to give good descriptions, plus i see no point in nicking images from the web to use.
I will feature some of the more popular toys i own, such as Uncle & bond items, but they are already well served by other sites, its the weird & wonderful that have not yet got a Blog,till now!
So enjoy, and let me know what you think.
All the best.
Vince.

  2. Nice blog you shared here and is also informative. Toy guns are toys which imitate real guns, but are designed for children to play with. From hand-carved wooden replicas to factory-produced pop guns and cap guns, toy guns come in all sizes, prices and materials such as wood, metal, plastic or any combination thereof. Many newer toy guns are brightly colored and oddly shaped to prevent them from being mistaken for real firearms.
