For This Spy Only
It was a return to earth with 1981's For Your Eyes Only. After the literal heights and scale of Moonraker the film makers decided to go with a more low-key spy story for Roger Moore's fifth outing as 007. The film had some great collectables produced to tie-in with it's release from toy guns to models of the Citroen 2CV, comic books to wrist watches that played the James Bond theme, along with the usual host of magazines featuring the film on the cover. Here are just some of the items that were produced to promote the films release in 1981 and subsequently in the years since…
