Have a look at this collector's gallery of unusual Cecil Coleman and Yolt James Bond and Man from Uncle action dolls. There's a Kissy Suzuki! What do you think?

I had a real WTF moment with this as I had never seen it before! (I wondered if it was like my tin toy Yellow Submarine, but no) some Googling proved it actually was a "thing" -just something I'd never heard about before.

It's interesting that the YOLT character is called Kissy Suzuki (from the novel) as opposed to the film's Aki (Wakabayashi)
Glad you liked this post Looey. I like to cover clones and bootlegs, although these look like proper brands. Its a debate I'm sure that will come up again.
