Following on from the spy toys post this is a search I did for more Matsushiro toys, of which there are many more than I thunk.
Have you any of these?

I do not have any of these, but the Secret 07 gun, with the boy on the box top dressed like James Bond, is clearly based on the US M3 sub-machine gun of WW2.
Fascinating Paul. There's potential for a book I would have thought on the origins of space toy guns. You should write it!
