Re: Big Chief Studios Acquires James Bond License
I have to say, there are things I have been displeased with my BCS figures in the past, notably the very loose bodies. It would be great to see a program similar to Asmus' that would give us the opportunity to upgrade ours to the new, higher quality ones being produced. The same would be awesome for figures beginning with, say, series 7b 11 headsculpt if the new paints are that much better.
But that being said, I love my Dr. Who figures, and anyone who's spent some time in those threads knows that with a little futzing skill and magic they do look really good. Some of the tailoring BCS pulls of is great, notably pants and button up shirts. The jackets are likely their weakest point when it comes to tailoring. And like others have said, price is a stingy point, but that's been hashed out far more than it needs to be at this point.
One of the things I love is the amount of trinkets their Dr. Who figures come with. The accessories are unique, useful, and fun; that's something that a lot of bigger companies forget these days. I do have faith in this new line for that very reason.
All that being said, with the hope that the promises being made are carried through, I'm happy to see this line finally get some 1/6 attention. Greggo, I'm telling you, bring be a Brosnan bond and you have a sale!
