Guess who just showed up at my front door yesterday ?
Sorry for the quality of the phone pics.
I had an eBay
gift card so I used that to get the whole set.
The sculpt looks fantastic in person so the first thing I did was to take the head off and put it on my Hot Toys clone body with Yunsil's suit.
The Big Chief neck joint fit perfect on the body but of course the neck was too long. I heated up the neck and removed the neck joint.
My plan was to dremel the neck down and put it back on the joint but I was wondering how far to dremel it down.
I was curious to see where the head would end up if it was placed in the body without a neck joint. It ended up at a perfect height for me so I just put some putty on the neck peg and placed the head right in to the body and I am happy. He loses some neck mobility but I am fine with that for now. Maybe in the future I'll go back to the original plan but for now I don't want to mess it up.
I then wanted to replace his current shoes with Big Chief's and although they popped on perfect, I found my only issue with Yunsil's amazing suit. It made Sean look like he was standing in a flood and the pants legs couldn't be pulled down further to accommodate it. It's a shame because I liked the Big Chief shoes and it added height to the figure that I liked. Oh well. Back to the Hot Toys shoes for Bond.
Finally I put Bond's watch on and changed to the Big Chief hands. I really like how easy it is to change their hands and the flexibility of them as well. I also love the stand and backdrop. It was wasteful to get a whole set and not use much of it but I missed Toy Anxiety's one part out and figured with my luck I would end up missing it again when they eventually get around to parting it.
Overall I am very happy with the figure. I might even spring for a head repaint soon to create my ultimate Bond. That is until Big Chief puts the Dr. No Bond up for preorder
