The early 1970s Adventure Team "Secret Mission to Spy Island" set always intrigued me. I was too young to see the original release; and the late 1990s "Timeless Collection" version with the camouflage uniform (I believe offered through FAO Schwartz) just didn't appeal to me. The idea that there was a secluded island filled with spies up to no good struck a cord. I've been putting together my own version of an agent that was intrepid enough to accept the assignment. I've backdated the timeframe by 10 years; so about a half-century ago. Who better to tackle the task than CDR James Bond, HMSS? I've tried to outfit his as informally as possible, with a nod to the original Adventure Team figure. I know that American elite forces and intelligence operatives have a great deal of leeway in their equipment and attire; and I'm assuming those of the crown would be given similar leeway.

The parts breakdown for CDR Bond
HS: SST James Bond ("Thunderball" version)
Jacket: Action Man
Pullover: Unknown
Jeans: Power Team
Shoes: 21st
Beretta Pistol: Twisting Toys or DML (In this timeline, I've imagined this as the mission that Bond will barely survive his Beretta's faulty action. After several months in traction, a Walther PPK will be forcibly given to him!)

Enjoy!

I didn't know Power Team made non-military figures! The jeans are from a Green Beret figure that also wore a black t-shirt and sneakers.

Thanks for the intel on the jeans. The 1/6 scale Power Team series also consists of the following: "World Peace Keepers" , "Assault Commando" , "Fire Fighter" , "Sport & Adventure" , " S.W.A.T" , "Tag Team" , "Police" and "Enemy Commando" There's a variety of different figure sets and Vehicles in each of these categories. I'm also a big fan of this series  Very Happy
