Yes! Now you too can blow the world to smithereens! Clean cut fun for everyone with your very own nuclear holocaust. Batteries supplied.

Sadly it doesn't actually promise real nuclear missiles, but a guy can dream.



There's fabulous wording on this ad: "How proud you will be as the commander of your very own Polaris Sub - the most powerful weapon in the world!"; "What thrills as you play at hunting sunken treasure!" Then you read on, and find out that it's made of glorified cardboard. Best postpone those plans for world domination then, huh.

And then what better way to increase the fun of blowing up the world than the opportunity of arresting yourself afterwards?



"We can't beat Thrush on our own boys." We can't?! I'd have thought we'd be wanting to avoid that. As a general rule.

(And for damn near fifty-five shillings, that better be a real gun).
