Big Chief Studios James Bond Series

[Marine Boy]

I never picked up any of these after hearing all the complaints, plus i had a decent custom i was happy with. Seems the only people pleased with it, are those who made extensive mods to it. I may pick up Goldfinger or Oddjob at a later date, but only at discount.

They'd better hurry then... not sure how long Dr Who-ess will remain on television.

I would be curious to see if BCS offered a Skyfall set of Bond and Silva how that would sell, being a more modern Bond for the new generation.

I think she got another year, the Daleks are supposed to be back on the New Year episode, they usually pick things up. As far as Bond goes, well, if Babs has seen the reaction the new figures got, a stay of execution could be unlikely. Note there have been new Who figures announced long after Bond came out.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yep. Nothing new for this line since Dr. No which was hinted at pretty early on (before the Goldfinger set shipped). Seems nothing new has been generated (or approved) in the year since Goldfinger's set came out. That kind of pace will kill anything. Without the promise of complimentary figures, how does one "collect" for a "collection".

 

[Rogerbee]

If you look at the BCS website, they have become a UK distributor for HT, Chronicle, Star Ace QMX and ThreeZero. They do list the Live And Let Die Figures as PO's still, but that's it. DID have a LALD Moore, but have it under a Roger Moore license and not Bond.

Sadly this line is going to be probably a slow death

 

[Rogerbee]

A live and let death!

 

[davejames]

I'm sure we'll at least see the Dr No figures since they were teased so heavily in their new Launch Pad thing. And likely a Craig Bond with his final movie coming out, but after that I think it's probably done.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I hope we at least see those Dr. No figures offered. Seems like they got pushed to Launch Pad and who knows if that will even happen.

We never saw the prototype for Dr. No himself. Very curious how that came out.

If the new DR No is going to be anything close
to GF Bond with the crappy body from BC,
there is a going to be alot of disappointed Bond 1/6 fans
heading to the exits with the new figure.

And if the TUX is like a cardboard suit with glue on
Buttons, the figure will be another sad figure.

Hope BC get a new body for the new DR No
Geese , for $15 even a KO Narrow Shoulder
would be better

 

[Rogerbee]

I saw the GF Connery in hand, and he looked too short. Connery, in his prime, was about 6' 3", there's no way the figure I saw matched that. There is a body that OneSixthKit have that would work. However, you'd then need a new suit as the BCS one is fully tailored for their body. It would be nice if other figures do see the light of day, but, I doubt many flaws will have been corrected. In that respect, it would seem that the best way to get the Bond you really want is to go custom.

I agreed

Sadly because of how the BC suit turned out
I had to take matters into my own hands and
make my own “ Custom Bond “

My prototype suit from YUNSIL should be ready soon and I
can’t wait to get my Bond set up

Yeah me too, my BCS Connery is on a new body and new suit.

 

[Choryujin]

Wow...so if it's a new body and new suit, is it still a BCS Connery?

If BC can eradicate the QC issues and come up with a better base body i see lots of life in the bond line. As for Doctor who..new "Doc" who is dead...BC would do better in revisiting the classics for future releases.

A better retooled body is a must and would be a huge step forwards..

 

[Rogerbee]

That takes R&D and that costs money. They could source a body from somewhere else maybe.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Dr. No is their third figure set and already being considered for Launch Pad. Likely the money is just not there for retooling a new body.

At this point I'm worried about LALD. Wasn't it due in November?

 

[matrix69]

It looks like a lot of the figure lines are on hold till next year. Maybe they'll make some announcement before the Christmas holidays.
Can't say i'm a fan of the whole launch pad thing.

 

[gido]

I'm not saying it's best I have- suit is bit too small for swaped body, but in life proportions are better.Head is not so big inwrong way ,as Die Hard was...In life it's very impressive , beautiful figure after repaint of Rainman.Weird then in pics head looks too big.In life it's ok.
