Sean Connery As James Bond In Goldfinger


The James Bond film Goldfinger set the template and standard by which all other James Bond films from that point would follow.

The super gadgets, nefarious villain, the car, the women, the action, the locations-all were hyped up and over the top beginning with Goldfinger.

The Sean Connery James Bond In Goldfinger figure comes in a Sideshow Collectibles flip lid box with information about the movie on the inside of the flap.

The cover of the box is a recreation of the movie’s poster.

The figure is snug (along with its accessories) inside a form- fitted, clear plastic cocoon and plastic straps seen through a clear plastic viewing panel.

Also included is a circular Goldfinger base with a wire support that clips into a slot on the base allowing the Bond figure to pose and stand.

The cloths fit the figure perfectly and are loose enough to allow the figure to pose without causing unsightly and unnatural folds and creases in the real cloth outfit.

The pre-positioned hands easily and securely hold the enclosed accessories.

The figure’s head and face look remarkably like Sean Connery’s with his short-cropped and styled black hair, dark, deep-set eyes, chiseled chin, straight nose and thin lips.  

The figure comes dressed in a solid black, two-piece jumpsuit, (made with real cloth) as seen in the film, along with black shoes.

A black backpack with blue straps and Velcro flap contains a large grappling gun with rope attachment, a large tube of plastic explosive, a silver homing device, a gold bar and Bond’s PPK Walther handgun.

All are to scale and look movie accurate.

All the pieces are finely-crafted with careful attention given to details.

For example check out the stitching and assembly of the backpack, the grip, trigger and precision of both weapons and even the Third Reich symbol on the gold bar.  Remarkable!

Articulation is tight and offers remarkable poses made possible by the various articulation types such as swivel, tilt, rotate, hinge, ball and join, etc.

Construction and quality is excellent overall on both the figure and the accessories.

Psalms 34:4 - I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
