[4 Ur Eyez Only]

When I was very young I think before I even saw the movie my dad bought me some Moonraker "Baseball Cards"!! I just remember seeing JAWS and thinking he was very cool..

I got maybe 2 packs..and that was it.. I grew up more or less in the Mid 70's - all of the 1980's... and I DON'T REMEMBER any 007 Roger Moore Toys??

was there any.. Because I persoanlly don't remember any here in America.

Please if you see any.. Make a List/Link so we can see all the different toys of the Roger Moore Era !!

you know it is kinda odd.. you would think 007 would have jumped on that George Lucas Toy Bandwagon???

They made Moonraker because of the space trend.. kinda odd they didn't make a TON of toys?

Does anyone remember any Toys in the 1970's-1980's for Roger's 007????

Yes, there's a Roger Moore doll from MOONRAKER (and a Holly, Drax, and Jaws). There were also lots of Moonraker toy guns, etc.

I have the Moore doll. I'll snap a pic and post it here.

There was also the Corgi Lotus from SPY. That was a very popular toy as I remember it.

Here's Roger.

[DLibrasnow]

Yes, Corgi also made a Moonraker space shuttle toy.

Between '97 and '99 there was a set of five Action Man (G.I. Joe to you in the States) figures issued in Bond outfits. One of them was dressed like Roger from TSWLM pre-titles. A frame of movie reel from the film was included with the figure.

Forgot I have this also. A Moonraker model kit.

In America, we were kind of deprived in that era. There were a few items I can think of.

Corgi vehicles: Lotus and Stromberg copter; MR shuttle and Drax copter; FYEO Citroen; OP horse trailer and mini jet. Many of those came in both mini and large sizes.
Matchbox cars had the taxi and Rolls from AVTAK.
Viewmasters of LALD and MR.
As mentioned, Topps MR trading cards and stickers.
The Mego dolls and there were two different model kits Zencat mentioned.
There was also a somewhat cheap line of Eon-licensed Bond toys at the time of AVTAK's release. I believe the company that produced them was called Coibel.
They released several Bond guns, none of which resembled the Walther; a target set which is now pretty rare; a rifle which is also rare; a spy kit with things like a gun, badge and a couple other things (I've got the box at home); They also had goofy things like "exploding" coins and spoons, which worked with caps. There was also an exploding pen which had the Union Jack on it that seemed inspired by the one Connery had in NSNA. These items do pop up on eBay occasionally.

Beyond those, there wasn't a lot else in that era. Some of the coolest Moore-related things were manufactured elsewhere. I've always liked the large-size MR space gun. And I saw on eBay once a Japanese MR attache case. And there were occasional plastic guns and such.

Here's their Jaws.

Their other stuff is great, too.

wow I never knew thye made any 007 toys in th roger era? I wish I bought some as a kid:)

[4 Ur Eyez Only]

I wish though with the new toys they would have a Roger from TSWLM or FYEO/Octopussy..

the early 70's is a little dated.. but if they made a toy from the mid/late I think Roger looks really cool!!
