Notes
A pleasing example of this James Bond-related item, inspired by the film ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’, first issued during 1977 (box is dated 1977 on the underside). In virtually mint condition. The colourfully illustrated card inner stand is fine and intact.
Reverse:
The ‘film strip’ header card box is complete and bright. Version without the ‘hammer & sickle’ detail. Light wear and the usual crease on the reverse where the header meets the main body of the box. Tiny wear besides.
Original cellophane window has a split. With full sprue of missiles.
