They’re just cashing in on our nostalgia from the Simpsons parody of The Prisoner.

My pet theory is that after a while “they” actually stopped trying to get anything out of No 6 …
and instead used him to sift candidates for “their” internal management fast-track programme.

Without question one of THE best shows ever. So surreal…also best watched late on a Sunday night for some reason. :thinking:

Looks like they are being designed by the same company that does the Doctor Who action figures. I wonder if that is because of some licensing agreement between the BBC and the manufacturer. On the other hand, it is a good aesthetic choice, given The Prisoner’s pedigree.

I wish there were some alternative for people despise Kickstarter.
Honestly, everything I have ever backed through pre-orders of any kind has failed to deliver.

An “action figure” of the Rover reminds me of this.

Zero points of articulation!

I hope they know better than to offer numbered limited edition figures.

This is very nice, but let me know when they have a set that includes a KAR 120C.

There are numerous die-cast models of the Caterham Lotus Super 7 available.
How are you with model paints?

What I really want is a KAR 120C that’s the right size for a 4-inch Number 6 action figure to sit in and where I can pretend that he zooms around to confront his boss with broody face.

Me? I want No 6’s sculpture that’s really a boat… that will fit the action figure so I can play in the bath. I have some 5" white balls left over from a project which brings Rover into the action. There is no escaping The Village!

Maybe we just need to buy a Lotus and move to Portmeirion.
