Who's the black private dick / That's a sex machine to all the chicks? / SHAFT! / Ya damn right!
Who is the man that would risk his neck / For his brother man? / SHAFT! / Can you dig it?
Who's the cat that won't cop out / When there's danger all about? / SHAFT! / Right On!
They say this cat Shaft is a bad mother... / SHUT YOUR MOUTH! / I'm talkin' 'bout Shaft. / THEN WE CAN DIG IT!

Bitten by the same bug as yours truly, I wager.

Sorry, its the thought of having to build Harlem  , with all those old brick buildings. 

The mob wanted Harlem back. They got Shaft...up to here.

It would be a splendid sight to behold though.

Camp Dave has a desire to do Geezers in the USA, using all the wonderful figures that are out there. He will love this Shaft figure.

I told him his new name by the way. He wasn't impressed but all our mates thought it most appropriate

Shut it! - And get on with it!

I remember Shaft from my early teen years, I even liked the song, the film forget it. not in my taste. But since I do not recognise the other models, can abyone identify them?

Consensus on Frothers seems to be that the girl is Pam Grier in one of her many blaxploitation guises (Foxy Brown, probably), but the middle guy is more problematic.

It's been suggested as a generic Black Panther type, a young Samuel L. Jackson, or even Huggy Bear from Starsky and Hutch (my opinion). Your guess is as good as mine though.

I agree with you on Pam Grier, my vote on the middle one is Black Panther?

the middle guy is going to be painted up as my 1950s Cthulhu character - a shotgun-toting beatnik... ahh... memories...

I do believe that's supposed to be Stokely Carmichael.  He was quite a legend, even when the Black Panthers tried to have him killed.  He was quite famous around here for a time.

Ooh, the one who invented "Black is beautiful"?
