1. A toy simulated flash camera comprising:

  • a camera body having a flash housing with a front wall and a top wall;

    a light reflecting member in the flash housing having an outer light reflecting surface;

    a front opening in the front wall through which the light reflecting surface of the light reflecting member is visible;

    a top opening in the top wall;

    a shutter mechanism in the flash housing movable between a normal shutter closed position for preventing the passage of ambient light through the top opening into engagement with the outer surface of the light reflecting member, and a shutter open position for allowing the passage of ambient light through the top opening into engagement with the outer surface of the light reflecting member where it is reflected outwardly through the front opening in the form of a flash; and

    shutter actuating means for momentarily moving the shutter mechanism from its normal shutter closed position to its shutter open position causing the momentary ambient light reflected from the outer surface of the light reflecting member through the front opening to simulate a flash lamp exposure.
