Art Design: The front of the box reproduces a marquee poster from the 007 film "On Her Majesty's Secret Service." The back has movie still photos and a photo of the two figures in this set, George Lazenby and Telly Savalas. The inside panel of the cover includes the entire cast of characters from the film, and a synopsis of the plot. This box has nice design and graphics.
Headsculpt & Figure: Telly Savalas' body is a standard Sideshow 12" body with 28 points of articulation. The headsculpt of Telly Savalas is nothing short of amazing. The face speaks to you, the eyes are alive! The incredible likeness to Telly Savalas is brilliant! From every angle, it looks like Kokak is about to say "Who loves you, baby?" There is a certain nobility which Savalas' face exuded, and this headsculpt shines with a goodness of character. While Savalas played Blofeld in OHMSS, the kindness which is depicted in this headsculpt is better suited for his role as Kojak. If anyone has a 1:6 scale pin-striped suits, now is the time to kitbash a Kojak!
The Outfit: Savalas is dressed in a Bavarian Alps Mountain hiking outfit. It consists of a brown tunic and pants, brown boots, brown socks, and a very silky white turtleneck shirt. A nice outfit for brisk walking in cold weather, but not a very exciting outfit for a villain or Kojak.
The Gear: A binocular case with nice little binoculars, a Colt .45, a pair of grenades, a gray stick, and yellow goggles. A belt and holster are also included. The holster is right out of a box of Formative Soldiers of The World. It is made of a soft material, and the cut looks crude, as if Sideshow had bought an odd lot of rejected holsters from Formative. The rest of the equiptment is very well done and it looks very good. It was refreshing to see that Blofeld did not have a bottle of booze included as part of his gear. Sadly, it seems like all of the Bond figures are equipped with a 1:6 scale full liter bottle of Vodka or Champagne as part of their "gear."
Overall: Savalas/Blofeld is an outstanding work of sculpting art. Any collector or fan of Telly Savalas/Kojak should get this set. The outfit and gear are well made, but nothing special.
Grade: A+
