Whether you were lucky enough to get one of your own, you had to play with your friend’s or you simply stared longingly through the window of your local toy shop, you will almost certainly remember these toys if you grew up back then.
Some enjoyed a relatively short-lived period of success, others remain popular six decades later, and some have been in and out of fashion over the years as trends change.
One of the toys featured - the Airfix James Bond Aston Martin DB5 model car, released during Sean Connery’s spell as 007 - could be worth hundreds of pounds if you’re lucky enough to have one hidden away in the attic.
One of the vintage kits is being sold on ebay for more than £300, with another priced at over £200.
If these toys have you pining for the 60s and your lost childhood, or you want to show your grandchildren what they’re missing out on today, there’s a huge range of retro toys for sale at Amazon.

10. Tiny Tears doll
The Tiny Tears doll, unique at the time for her lifelike ability to shed tears after being given water from a baby bottle, was launched in the 1960s but remained popular in the 1960s. Bizarrely, the patent was reportedly awarded back in 1954 for a doll that 'breathes, sheds tears, drinks from a bottle, blows bubbles, and even smokes'. The 1960s Tiny Tears doll is pictured here beside the 1990s version from Playmates, which is described as 'just like a real baby'. | Submitted Photo: Submitted
11. Subbuteo
Subbuteo was invented in 1947 and its popularity peaked in the 1960s and 70s. The tabletop football game was the most popular version but, as this photo from around 1960 shows, the makers capitalised on its success by branching out into other sports, including rugby and cricket | Hulton Archive/Getty Images) Photo: Hulton Archive/Getty Images
