One of the toy world’s most coveted James Bond 007 collectibles is getting an updated re-issue thanks to the Nacelle Company
The Nacelle Company is kicking off the 60th Anniversary of Ian Flemings timeless classic James Bond 007 with a limited edition re-issue of James Bond’s trick attaché case as seen in “From Russia with Love.”
The highly sought after collectible was first issued in 1965. The case was made of hard plastic and was filled with a variety of spy gadgets and accessories, including a toy pistol, a decoder, a hidden knife, a passport, and a secret compartment. The case also included a bulletproof shield that could be attached to the front of the case to protect the owner from imaginary enemies. With a price tag of $24.95, adjusted for inflation it would be around $205 in 2023, which made it a luxury item that only a few children could afford at the time. The Secret Agent Attaché Case was marketed to children and was a popular toy during the 1960s. It was praised for its attention to detail and for capturing the spirit of the James Bond films. Flash forward to today as The Nacelle Company makes news again with the return of this popular toy. They’ve even managed to acquire and dust off some of those old Gilbert Toy’s moulds.
Nacelle does what it does best, make it better.
The release while very similar to the original has received a few updates. Most notably the original pistol and bullets have been replaced with a James Bond Secret Agent Movie Camera, and gold coins in place of bullets.
Other Updates include a flocked red interior (matching the movie prop), a Secret Agent Pen that writes with invisible ink and can only be read by another “00 Secret Agent” with another “Secret Agent Pen” as the pen has an ultra-violet light to reveal the secret message. The attaché case is made with black simulated leather, gold metalwork and 007 combination locks with a dagger insignia.
The listed price is $299 for this Limited Edition run and is available directly from The Nacelle Store.
Listed dimensions of the case are L21″, W21.5″, D3″ and it comes weighing 4 lbs.
