These were around for a few years. I was given one for one of my birthdays in the late 60's / very early 70's. The first thing to break was the periscope - especially if you were as clumsy as I was (am). The camera was a waste of space. To be honest, it was the gun (very James Bond, Man From U.N.C.L.E.) that really caught my attention.

Probably worth a small fortune for an in-tact, boxed example..... ::)

Somehow, I like a whole lot better the following video for a very swinging Kodak Instamatic with the incredible flashcubes :)

I don't know where that party was taking place but it looked like it was really hip :)

Blog? I've been missing out.

Would it maybe be better if the banner logo at the top of the forum page linked to the main filmwasters.com site? I always forget there's so much more to filmwasters than just the forums.

I remember those flash cubes were a tad hot after firing... maybe he had an asbestos (it was allowed in those days) jacket.

Ii didn't have a camera but used to have one of these when I was a kid 1964 JOHNNY SEVEN OMA TOY GUN COMMERCIAL (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPhZsauluXM#) Broke some of my mum's best china with the grenade launcher I did! ;D
