Johnny Seven O.M.A.

Johnny Seven
"One Man Army"
By Euphrates

There were several great army lines made during the sixties. Two
of my favorites are Remco's Monkey Division and Topper's Johnny Seven O.M.A.
Johnny Seven had all of the essentials - gun, helmet and combat phones. The
thing that made this line special however, was the gun. This baby was a yard
long and chock full of the things that boys/men love to this day - gizmos galore!
The O.M.A offered seven weapons in one. It

launched a grenade
fired an anti-tank rocket
shot an armor-piercing shell
chucked an anti-bunker missle
shot 10 bullets as a rifle
made a rat-a-tat-tat sound as a tommy gun
had a pistol that detaches and functions as a cap gun

The stock was also detachable and the O.M.A. had a built in bipod, which was handy
since the thing weighs about 4 pounds.

The more gadgets a toy had the harder they are to find complete today. The O.M.A.
is no exception. If you are looking for one, make sure you have your grenade,
rocket, missle and 10 bullets. The mechanisim that makes the chattering sound for
the tommy gun frequently fails and the bipod is often missing or broken. I highly
recommend taking the trouble to find one that is complete and fully functional. It
will cost you but you don't want to be known on the block as Johnny Six, do you?
