I believe I'll get answer from BC tomorrow or so, but do anybody already found out , do we need to send all set, or head sculpt only for replacement?

The feedback on this set is great to read.
I get my set when I return after the Christmas holiday: something to look forward to.

Me too, gonna ask Terry @ BCS if they can check and make sure there are no paint rubs before they ship ( as it is now about 16% do which is not good) but I'm not sure what they can do with this sealed packaging. I imagine I can give them the okay to open them up. Will LYK what he says.
 
Everyone, but everyone, is saying that Bond looks better in hand. This is now overriding my impressions from photos that the head is too large. Will have to take the plunge eventually. If I don't like it I'll blame everyone here.
 
I'll open mine in a few days. I'm a critical unforgiving ******* but I'm also usually pretty fair. I'll give credit where it's due when warranted.

But my love for Bond is so strong that I'll be pretty harsh by default because I care so much. But if I'm won over in any way you can sure bet we have a miracle on our hands with these guys haha
 
No futzing, just playing a little.One button of vest drop off, but it will be easy to fix ...But this paint rub is very unpleasant thing...

Its a narrow shoulder issue NOT an over-sized head issue.

Here, does the BCS Bond head look large in this line-up?

Finally got my figures today. Long story short, Fed Ex has no idea what they are doing right now:lol

I regret to say that I’m declaring the nose rub a wide spread issue. Not one, not two, not even three, but all four of my heads have the nose tip damage. Yes, you read that right. Not only do all three of my figures have the damage, but even Oddjob’s severed statue head has it!

I won’t bother posting pics of the statue head as it’s very hard to make out due to its coloring, but it’s there.

They do look fantastic in hand otherwise. Truly figures that need to be seen in person to appreciate. I haven’t done anything else with them as I’m waiting to hear back from BCS. I don’t know what they will want to do with all three arriving damaged.

As beautiful as the packaging is, if I was reviewing it, I’d be forced to give it zero stars. It fails on its primary objective: protecting the figures within from damage. They focused all on the bling and not enough on the protection. Judging by all of these nose issues, that will be a costly mistake.
 
Curious how you like the figures otherwise, BM. Confirmation on head size, all that stuff. Sorry to hear this nose rub thing continues to overshadow an otherwise wonderful figure. But again, as long as they resolve it, should be no issue... an aggravation to be sure that just requires a bit more patience.
 
Well kinda hard to tell there, given it's surrounded by Sideshow figures that all have oversized heads themselves. ;)

I agree the overall proportions don't look that bad though.

Well Buttmunch and Raymond are getting theirs so more critical reviews will surface... hopefully you will ascertain a consensus on the head-vs-shoulder dilemma.

I wish more people got the two villains, they are real stand-outs.

I pretty much just put them all back in the box after seeing the noses, but I did give them the once over and was very pleased with what I saw. The paint is on a HT level and the clothes and accessories look fantastic! The noses are really my only issue with them. As long as those get straightened out, I don’t think anyone can really complain about these figures. Are they perfect, no, but no figure is. They are above a current Sideshow level at least and probably closer to a HT level.
