Who would make the ultimate nemesis for James Bond 007?
What better choice for a villain than a fellow 00 secret agent who has gone bad?
That’s what Pierce Brosnan as James Bond in Goldeneye gets when he faces of against Sean Bean as Alex Trevelyan: secret agent 006.
It seems Alex joined the British Secret Service as a means by which he could obtain government secrets--specifically Goldeneye.
After supposedly dying at the hands of the Russians on a joint mission with James Bond Trevelyan reappears as the head of a rogue group of Russian military types bent on destroying both the British and Russian government’s finances and securing unimaginable wealth for themselves.
The final fight scene between Trevelyn and Bond is a classic and its the first time we see how ruthless and cold Bond is as portrayed by Pierce Brosnan.
Sideshow Collectibles acquired the rights to produce 12-inch James Bond film figures and Alex Trevelyan was one of them.
The figure is housed in a flip-lid box decorated with photos from the film along with text about the film and film stars.
Inside the figure is snug in its form-fitted, clear, plastic cocoon held in place with plastic covered wires. Accessories, along with its circular base and support wire, are also held in place in the cocoon.
The figure comes dressed all in black: a cuffed pocket shirt, a black belt with a silver buckle in the shape of a triangle, trousers with pockets and shoes.
He wears a standard issue ‘00’ wristwatch with a laser. His hair is brown, eyes are blue and his chin is strong with high cheeks and a straight nose.
The fully-articulated figure has preset hands for holding the handgun, small explosive magnetic mine and stockless rifle with twin barrels and a clip.
The Goldeneye computer-targeting module is silver with translucent orange panels and eye.
Details (especially on the weapons and Goldeneye) are extremely well done and the figure’s clothing is loose enough to shrift with the character when posed with no binding or unnatural bundling.
Paint application is clean on the figure with minimal tonal changes and the stitching, creases and folds on the real cloth outfit are in scale and match actual sized clothing.
The figure can stand (with limitations) on its own or posed with its weapon and Goldeneye module with the help of the enclosed stand.
Romans 15:13 - Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
