the merit special agent toy set: the complete story

Patience is a virtue when it comes to vintage toys.

Back in 2013 I took this shot of my Merit Special Agent set.

As you can see its very incomplete!


In 2014 a more complete set appeared online at the Saleroom.

Just a few small items missing from this one!


and just this month reader Mark O sent me this picture and message|...


Howdy Woodsy,

Here is my set. I've never seen another complete set!

All the best Mark O.

Fabulous!

  1. I've got a Red Box (or is it Redbox) version, which I got back in the late '80s because it reminded me of my Man From U.N.C.L.E. one. When I dig it out I'll show it on my blog.

    1. Sounds cool Kid. I think i bought a late edition of that set from Index in the mid 90's. Very shiney plasticcy case. Long gone now.

    3. A lovely attache case set Kid. Mine came in a cardboard box. I bet it was the last classic spy case sold to kids. Spy toys went weird after that.
