A Dangerous Man (Daniel Craig Bond)

[thainer]

I didn't get an extra head with my Spy Seven. The body is too huge for the suit. The paint job on the head is way too dark.(I am going to repaint mine) The suitcase falls apart. I had to glue the clip into the P99. There was no foam in the suitcase. On the plus side-the suit is of excellent quality and fit nicely on my other Bond figure on a Dragon Neo Adam figure, the overcoat is excellent, the sculpt on the P99 kicks a$$ even though it seems as though it might be a little brittle (you don't want to force it into a hand), the suitcase has a very good sculpt (if you were to glue it together it would look good in a figure's hand). Is that wht you wanted to know?

That's too bad thanier, why do I have the feeling Dr. Figures is doing a Sideshow and throwing in random boxes the extra head. Well, it doesn't really matter, you are not missing much, he bears a passing or little resemblance to Craig, anyway.

how long did it take for the dr.figures version to come? I still didn't get mine...

 

[**16k**]

Well, it took about a month for mine to come. I emailed them about two weeks after I ordered and they told me they had packed and shipped it already. Three days before it came in, I asked them for a tracking number. The parcel had indeed been shipped... a week after they had told me they had shipped it! My advice, ask for the tracking number!

Added a piece of tiny handkerchief on the suit pocket to complete the look..... Seeing as how much some of the bad looking custom Daniel Craig Bond figures are going for at ebay, I wonder how much my figure wld sell if I were to put it up at ebay.....



But its not for sale...

I found the Daniel Craig sculpt alone on eBay. The auction is almost over, though.

Interesting... And they are the ones selling the not so good spyseven right?? How ironic is that...

Its up to 7 bids now... US$20.50

Yeah! I like it a lot! I'm not sure it is the best Craig sculpt around (well, actually, I'm SURE it isn't the best), but it's really worth the money and it make a cool spy. The accessories are really top notch!

 

[Mr. Fusion]

I realize this isn't the proper place to ask for a WTB/WTT. But I really need either the Loading Toys Dangerous Man head, or the SpySeven extra head.

If anyone is willing to sell one, please reply here:WTB/Trade SpySeven Craig sculpt

Well after the Store- Rooms Fiasco, I ordered the loading toys version and it turns out I'm really happy I got both!

It turns out that after some ironing and fiddleing, the Store Rooms suit is a perfect representation of Craig's Casino Royale tux! So I take back what I said about it. It's actually a very good fit fitted to a truetype and with the quality and caliber of the Dangerous Man head, the whole thing is top notch. Better than any of the sideshows IMO.

This suit is a way better fit than the Saturday toys version because it is actually proportionate to his head. That and it's cut like a tux not a suit which is nice for the classic 100%bond look.

In my opinion there has not been a single Craig sculpt yet that comes close to the likness of this. Every other one i see either looks nothing like him or greatly exaggerated. The one thing I'd change on this would be to give him slightly bigger ears but other than that it's perfect and of amazing quality in hand.

Here's pics of my final kitbash...

Head: Loading Toys Dangerous Man
Body and Hands: Hot Toys Truetype
Suit/ watch and gun: Dr. Figures Spy Seven
Shirt and bowtie: Sideshow Dr. No James Bond
Shoes: Saturday Toys

Still holding off on the claim that the store rooms repainted would look great...

Crap!!!! Your photos look fantastic!!!! The figure overall looks fantastic!!! Love em!!!! If only the bow tie was bigger...

Still loving mine wearing the Saturday Toys suit...

 

[Raymond F.]

I hear ya on the bowtie, I think the Roger Moore/Lazenby Legacy versions would be a closer size to the one Craig wore in Casino Royale but I can live with it.

The Sat Toys suit is wonderful item for sure. I have one that used to be on my Bruce Wayne before i got the 3 piece from Hong Kong. I think it might look better though without the shoulder pads on Bond because it would make his head seem a bit more proportionate to his body.

I'm not so sure the Store Rooms painted up would look as god as the LT version actually. The LT version has a lot more detail in the mouth area, wrinkle and crease wise which is the main giveaway to the Craig likeness on the sculpt. The Store rooms version for some reason has sculpted on stubble which takes away from the likeness in the mouth area a whole lot.

I painted my first one up pretty good and it looked better for sure but still not in the same world as the LT version thats for sure.

 

[CelticPredator]

As long as its better. Thats all I care about.

The Store-Rooms figure arrived today. Almost worth it for the suit, very Bond-ish necktie and pile of accessories (my Miami airport Bond finally gets a cellphone!), though some of the guns are a bit rough in their casting.

What kills the headsculpt is how high the cut in the neck is. Might repaint the head, but it's still not close to Andy B's work. Still, lots to work with here.

 

[Raymond F.]

Andy B is ultra talented no doubt though personally I think the craig head he di d is really not very good at all. It's an amazing sculpt and all but looks nothing like craig. Then there's the longbow one which looks like craig and Alfred e Newman's lovechild.

The loading toys head is just wonderful and I might add that the pic in the store rooms ads is the loading toys head and NoT their recast which is BS false advertising imo.

The worst thing about the store rooms is indeed the neck. Maybe les could save it paint wise but at the final price it's better to get the loading toys. Getting both is great for the great well tailored suit and the great acessories like the watch and multiple guns and if you're lucky enough to actually get the coat.

I sold the loose parts from the loading toys and the store rooms head individually on eBay and got 55 bucks back for them, almost the price if the spy seven in general.

 

[CelticPredator]

I still havent got it yet....what the hell???

 

[Raymond F.]

My store rooms order took about a month to get to me. Should be interesting to see if you actually get the head and coat.

 

[CelticPredator]

I ordered December 13th.....ugh.
