Notes
A fine 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 pristine.
The ‘film strip’ header card box is very crisp and bright. Version without the ‘hammer & sickle’ detail. The header card has the lightest crease on the reverse where the header meets the main body of the box. Original cellophane window has a little ruffling. With missiles Some are off the sprue.
