I found this baby on etsy.com in the background of another ad. Etsy seller Paul Shapiro was kind enough to answer my questions and offered to sell it. This thing is huge -- about eight feet square!
I was on it faster than - well - faster than Napoleon Solo AND Ilya Kuryakin on a double agent!!
Check out Paul's etsy shop, Creative Pal. It's loaded with some great reproductions of mid century graphics. One of his specialties is very detailed replicas of cardboard boxes and original packaging for what are now highly-sought-after toys and collectibles.
OK, now I have to get back to my kitchen cabinet refinishing. Have a great week!
Great find! I don't know if you watch NCIS (with David McCallum in it), but one of my favorite lines was when one of the characters asked another what the McCallum character looked like when he was young. The answer: Illya Kurakin.
ReplyDeleteI do, and that was a great line! Mad Men included a brief reference to The Man From U.N.C.L.E. in the most recent season.
DeleteHOW COOL! From the first time I saw it in the default picture I started humming the "James Bond" Theme!
ReplyDeleteYeah, gotta love secret agent music
DeleteI loved that show growing up! That poster is one fun monster...brings back some great memories!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely one of the best spy shows on TV
Deleteoh how very cool! That fits in perfectly!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I had such a crush on Illya when I was young!
