007 frogmen and 007 memorabilia book

themanfrombrussels · July 2008

Hello

i've seen a few frogmen on sale all over the place advertised as 007 or premiums . I suppose Lone star had a series of frogmen that where used as 007 frogmen . Or where they directly made as 007 merchandise with cowboys and indians on the box ?
Regarding premium 007 frogmen , does anybody know if such a thing exist ? with kellogs or crisps or whatever ? found a sixties ad for frogmen with cereals but nothing to do with 007 .

I have several books containing 007 memorabilia, probably the one with a lot of stuff is the spy guise one . Using also several websites for reference , but is there a similar book like the toys from u.n.c.l.e. that might be a bit more complete and that i might have missed .

best regards and thanking you in advance

Lone Star did offer frogmen loose in what was a cowboy and indian motif box with a 007 label slapped over the header. The frogmen were also sold in a set with the wind-up "bomb sled" seen in many collections. I am not sure if the frogmen existed previously and Lone Star simply issued them in black and orange as Bond figures but they did continue to release them later on in a variety of colors simply as frogmen and/or SCUBA divers; I believe the same molds are even in use today!

For decades there were several sizes of frogmen that one could play with in the bath or pool using baking soda to make them rise or sink. The smallest type was often a prize in cereal. I believe that black and orange versions were available as Bond toys.

I'm not aware of any other Bond frogmen premiums but have been looking for years for a Bond jetpack figure supposedly given away with Keds shoes!
