On the surface it's the story of a spy(?) who tenders his resignation and is there abducted and placed in a jail(?) called The Village where everyone is referred to by number rather than name (he's number 6). He then tries to find out what's going on, who's behind it how to get out, often encountering surreal situations. There's a lot to digest in it, and the psychedelic/cerebral approach means it's not straightforward in pretty much any regard, but it's well worth a view to see where later shows clearly got their inspiration from.
Thanks for explaining, sounds kind of interesting!

The Prisoner (1967) basically originated or at the very least helped establish premium modern episodic tv show format that is based on the big mystery be it like Twin Peaks, Lost and many others binge worthy shows. Further more, each episode had deep philosophical elements that examined whole bunch of concepts, so this tv show was clearly ahead of its time, it's aged really well although it is a "slow burn" but it's just one season of 17 episodes. It does share certain initial elements with James Bond but only if 007 franchise took big steps towards something completely different and far more cerebral.

Pricing is adequate considering we have Marvel legends for 50-60 bucks now. I just hope that final figure are as good as the 3d renders.

Oh goody! I saw something about these being a crowdfund, but this is my preferred option! Thanks for the heads-up!
