You see before you a ruggedly handsome man-of-the-world. A vynil face that could make women swoon and evil-doers quiver in their shoes...
...of course, "Mike Hazard" is also an artful mastor-of-disguise. Check the cool plastic wig he keeps at the ready...
...also the "Mission Impossible" rubber mask to hide his well recognized features from those would-be world conquerors and mad scientists!
I also used to use "Silly Putty" to give him moustaches and sideburns and the like. Silly Putty clings to vynil juuuuuuuust fine.
He comes with a sporty driving cap...
...AND a jaunty 1960's fedora!
Though NOT as well armed as "Renegade Sam Cobra", he does come with all manner of artillery of his own. 1, 2, no 3 pistols (one with a shoulder holster), a knife, a dagger AND a blade hidden in a walking stick!

Ubercool!
He also is prepared for carrying around secret formulas and enemy papers of all manner, with an attache case and capet bag. Both of which are equiped with spring loaded explosive devices in case of tampering by the wrong party!
He comes with a pockt recording device with earpiece, a radio (assumedly for two-way communication with headquarters and a 10 pound flashlight for skulking around dark corridors. Probably comes in pretty handy for whacking goons on the noggin.
He comes with a slick flak-jacket that looks like a sporty vest, and what 1960's era spy guy would be complete without a trenchcoat for the full cloak and dagger look that was all the rage in the spring of 1968.
I know what your wondering. "Nutty Mads", "Johnny West" and friends and now "Mike Hazard"? Did you have any toys that weren't made by Marx??? Of course I did and we'll keep digging through "Uncle Jeffy's Toy Box" every Saturday and re-discover them all.

And as for my big brother Mike? You ain't getting "Mike Hazard" back. I'm still busy playing with him.
Talk to you soon.
wow....its fantastic, look so creative!...geek toys canada
ReplyDeleteIt is a fantastic toy, I'm very glad I kept it all these years. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI'm not too familiar with Mike Hazard. Wow, this is nice. And it's somehow shocking, yet refreshing to see all these guns used as kids' toys. I guess all the gun influence hasn't turned you into a crazed murderer, huh?
ReplyDeleteJeffy, swing over to Bob Canada's Blog and scroll down to the last photo to see someone dressed up as your personal hero... (Hint: Ogden Whitney)
ReplyDeleteSah-weeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Thanks, Lysd!
ReplyDeleteMike actually was much better armed and equipped than Sam Cobra. He is the Marx figure that came with the most equipment. You are missing a fair bit of his gear and some of your pieces don't really go to him.
ReplyDeleteHe actually had 4 pistols. Two you are missing, his derringer and his Beretta,(which is what fit in the shoulder holster). The others you have. The 1911 Colt .45, and the Luger, though you only have part of the Luger. It had a pistol barrel with a removeable silencer. Alternately you could turn it into a machine gun with a longer barrel with clip and a scope, shoulder stock and bayonet (the silencer could fit on it as well). There was also a third attachment option. A spring loaded grenade launcher with three small fireable grenades. He also had three regular hand grenades.
The laser pistol looking piece was part of his "secret" surveillance weapon. It had a cone that fit over the barrel to puck up sound, a movie camera that clipped on top, and a stethoscope like piece that plugged into the side so he could listen in.
The small "dagger" you have is his stiletto which could be clipped into the back of his tie, which you are missing. The other knife is not his. His was more dagger like and fit in the side of his briefcase.
There were two slide out pieces in the radio (a barrel and a stock) that turned it into a gun.
The cane you have is Sam Cobra's cane. Mike's was a one piece cane/rifle with a molded on trigger.
He also came with three accessories that would be unthinkable for a children's toy today. There was a two piece tobacco pipe with a bowl that became a pistol, a cigarette lighter/laser, and aa cigarette pack/radio.
There was a tear gas firing pen that could clip in the pocket of his vest. Also a pair of handcuffs, a keychain with three different removable keys, and a belt with loops some of his gear could be hung on. In particular the keychain, flashlight, tape recorder, hand cuffs and hand grenades.
He had a pair of Infra-red glasses, a second pair of disguise glasses with an attached beard, a second soft rubber mask with glasses and false nose, an additional bowler hat, and a Dick Tracy style tv-radio/wristwatch.
