Agent Zero M By Euphrates

Toy makers introduced several great spy lines in the sixties: Topper’s Secret Sam, Gilbert’s Man from UNCLE/James Bond and Mattel’s Agent Zero M, to name a few. The key functions of any spy toy worth it’s weight in attache cases is secrecy and gimmicks galore. In 1966, the Agent Zero M line (previously western-theme oriented) had both in abundance. Each toy was disguised as a harmless, everyday item - a camera, a pocket knife or a radio. Then, with a push of the button it would spring open (Early Transformers!) into the shape of a noisy weapon. Most of the guns shot caps. The Movie Shot also made a gun noise by winding the camera. Here are some of the Zero M items released by Mattel or related to the line:

Movie Shot Camera - unfolds into a rifle
Pocket Shot Knife - pocket knife unfolds into a pistol
Snap Shot Camera - unfolds into a pistol
Transistor Radio - unfolds into a rifle
Sonic Blaster - powerful bazooka
Jet-Coder - secret message kit
Nightfighter Sub-Machine Gun - This camo-beauty is hard to find!
Weapons Set - Secret Firing Attache Case with Glasses, Movie Shot and Snap Shot Cameras.
Undercover Set - Movie Shot Camera and brown carrying case.
