Big Chief Studios James Bond Series

Received Goldfinger today seems they are now protecting the sculpt. I am happy to report it’s 100% perfect ! I’ll be receiving OJ on Wednesday I’m sure he’ll be perfect also.

 

[Greggo]

I’ll look into this when we get back. But yeah if the body is faulty it will be sorted.

I did and got the same reply as the others. If they could replace the whole figure it would be great.

 

[Mr.E]

At least they're doing something to protect the paint. It's a start.

 

[pjam]

Look like GF got a pie in the face. Very relieved the problem has been resolved and quickly, thanks Greg.

Just flipped into the fb page to see if there’s any more pics from LaLD. The three that are there did the job tho.
I’d preorder on those alone. Moore looks great.
The turnaround wasn’t too bad, and almost on schedule for the first set. Feb-Dec.
if we can get a full set of three figures each Christmas, that’d be cool.

 

[Tom Day]

The turnaround wasn’t too bad,

I think that goes for BCS in general. We were expecting to see the worst but both the figures and the customer service appear to have stepped up a gear. I like the new BCS and I want to see it continue in the same way.

But remember - You only live twice, Mr Bond.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I received Goldfinger today- there was extra foam protection in the box over the face to stop the nose rub issue.

And there's the fix.

That's the downside of being an early adopter. But I expect we'll be seeing the "pie in the face" from now on.

 

[DVD1]

And twice, is the only way to live!!
In fairness, I’ve not been disappointed with any of the Who figures.
The delay thing on the recent ones is not common.
I will have to watch Live and Let Die today, after I complete the Persuaders Blu-ray set: which has been a whole lotta fun.

 

[shells075]

Moore only got to play Bond because The Persuaders tanked in the American market. So they cancelled the second series.

 

[DVD1]

The doco in the set has the producer saying that Roger got the call for Bond before the series wrapped, and a second series was being developed with a replacement. However nothing came if it, and the show didn’t do well in the US. I think it’s a fun show, but watching it, it’s easy to see how the formula was still entrenched in the early 60s, and wouldn’t fit in with the then US market. Anyways, I liked it: it was a Roger Moore show, with some American dude.. haha!!

 

[Mr.E]

Tony Curtis. Yes. Some American dude.

 

[DVD1]

Was that his name ? Haha!! Yeah, just keeping in tone with the show. I’ve got 4 left to watch.
The two (Curtis + Moore) work so well together, making every episode such good fun.

So anybody have both this Bond and the BBkill sculpt? Would be cool to see the two side by side for comparison.

 

[griffin_t_a]

One of the 5%.

Ray will. I sold my BBKill ages ago (I still kind of regret it).

 

[Wor-Gar]

You know, in hand, the bbkill Connery doesn't always look like Connery... but when a camera lens compresses the face then its a stellar likeness.

This Inigo sculpt actually has the more square jawline.

 

[Mr.E]

I'm sure the sculpt itself is stellar under the paint. In time, I'm sure we'll see amazing repaints of these.

 

[davejames]

From what I can see the only thing that really needs repainting are the eyes. The rest looks pretty good to me.

Hopefully with all the paint rubs some of these will start showing up on eBay soon...

 

[Wor-Gar]

I totally agree, and you're just the man to do it.



It's interesting the difference between the eyes and the rest of the paintwork. The eyes look hand painted, very much at the level of old Sideshow Bond figures... but the face, hair and lips looks very much like HT level or close. Strangely incongruent.

 

[davejames]

And he's also got dark brown eyes, which you wouldn't think would be hard to paint. It's only the lighter colored eyes that are a pain to do.
