I think this is an exceptional likeness but the body looks a bit too big for the head

Thats a bit of a strange one- its a decent likeness but I'm not sure about the body proportions- he looks a bit rectangular.

I wonder if they'll release a set of his 'Amazonian' guards!?

The figure proportions do look pretty weird. If you extend the hat into a fez though you've got a pretty good Tommy Cooper head.

I think all CMK figures suffer from bad anatomical features and awkward poses. I didn't see a single figure I liked although they make quite a nice modern figure selection.

They could follow up with a fig of Idi Amin chowing down on something - or someone.

I have to agree with Mario although the camouflaged Sniper pair I built looks to be a very nice CMK kit. I've seen CMK kits in person and they do tend to be on the"too thin" side of figures.
