In this article we're going to cover one of the rarest collectible dolls in history, the classic Mike Hazard Double Agent.
During the 1960s, cloak and dagger and spy stuff was all the wave with shows like Mission Impossible, The Man From Uncle, I Spy and of course movies like James Bond. Well, the toy companies took care of their end as well.
Plastic Toy Boxes
One of the most popular dolls of that era was Mike Hazard, Double Agent which was manufactured by Louis Mark Company in 1967. The doll was 12 inches in height and was solid as a rock. The body was made of very hard plastic. If you were to hit somebody over the head with this doll you would probably give them a concussion. This was the most solidly put together doll in the history of toy manufacturing next to professional ventriloquist dummies. The body color was a strange dark blue.
There were actually five different series of Mike Hazard dolls made in 1967. The only real differences were not so much in the dolls themselves but in the boxes. There was the original box, the sunburst box, the international box and then a couple of variations of the three of them.
The lure of the doll was not so much in the look of it but what you could do with it. As accessories went, Mike Hazard was loaded with them. His nickname was "master of disguise" and he was that. Included with the figure were a number of great disguises that you could mix and match in many different ways.
To start with, he came with a great blond wig. His natural hair color was dark brown. The wig didn't quite cover his hair completely so you could see some of the brown sticking out but it was still pretty cool.
Then there was the beard, mustache and glasses. This was actually one piece as the three were all attached. It was difficult using the beard and glasses with the wig because the glasses didn't fit very well over the face because of the thickness of the wig and if you tried to use them together it actually looked pretty stupid.
Then there was an actual new face that you could place over the original face. It only covered the front so that you could use the wig with it. Also, if you wanted, you could put the beard and glasses on over the new face. It just did fit.
Mike Hazard also came with a few cool hats. They wouldn't fit very well over the wig but if you used them on the original head they fit just perfectly. The hats were a beret and a Clark Kent style hat.
Hazard also came with a really nice trench coat that was made out of material, the only thing in the set that was. Everything else was made out of plastic.
As for weapons, he had weapons galore from pistols to machine guns to a futuristic gun. He also had a contraption that looked like a weapon but was actually a listening device.
Needless to say, this was one cool figure. But it didn't last long and today is considered a very rare collectors item. Mint in a sealed box will bring you about 00. Not bad for a toy.
