This are the Polar Lights reissues of both the "OddJob" and "James Bond" models from the late 90s.

They're really fun to build and paint, especially the bases. I can't figure out how to set them on the shelf, though - who's supposed to be the hunter and who's supposed to be the hunted?

 

 

The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

Pretty tacky, eh?

As far as I know, these two models were only issued once, while the TV show was still being broadcast.
They're pretty rare, though they pop up on eBay every now and then, usually pre-built and painted by a ten-year-old in 1965.
The nameplates are missing, but I was still lucky to get both models for around $65 total.
These were actually painted fairly well, but I still stripped them down (in Pine-Sol) and rebuilt and repainted them myself.
I mixed some sand into the wall paint to give it texture - I saw someone's finished model for sale on eBay and stole his idea shamelessly.
(If you know who you are, write me and I'll give you credit).
