Why the bulbous heads?

I'm getting the impression the heads are more the Ghostbusters/Firefly Mal size than the smaller HT size...
Then that means the bodies are under scaled, well for the heads at least
Which are too big.
Ghostbusters are way too big but the rest of the figures scale up proportionately

ok, looking out for your futzing ;-)
So much for my figures making it from Britain to Wisconsin in one day. Just checked my FedEx tracking and they're still "In Transit" in GB. 
Some in-hand pics...

Jesus Christ. These just shipped, and I'm already tired of all the complaints from people that don't have them in-hand yet.
yea, i'm reserving judgment until in hand. But it's becoming more evident that my futzing game will have to be on point.
I think the head looks great from those photos. The suit - well, I guess I'm keeping my Yunsil. I was (optomistically) hoping to sell it for some extra $, lol.
I'm thinking (based on the head size, of course) of taking this head and popping it on the Yunsil and selling the rest for parts on the ol' eBay.

Thank you. The sculpt looks great.

BIG Chief Studios The tailoring is not different at all. Not sure what you are looking at. Yes there is sure to be some adjustment needed to get the suit to fit exactly as you would like, just as we have to do with the prototypes. The problem is that people jump on one single photograph without seeng for themselves. Once you receive your figures we are confident that you will be happy with them. Forum induced knee jerk reactions by certain self appointed experts (not yourself Gidons), who see themselves as the masters of the hobby and who actually account for less than 3% of overall sales, are largely unjustified. It is this reason and the consistent defamatory comments, bordering on liableness in some cases, that we have requested our accounts on these "fan" forums are closed. Thanks BCS

There they go, deflecting again.
Yeah, it's, expectedly, not up to Yunsil levels. I'm disappointed they used bulky snaps for the vest as opposed to magnets or the type of clips Yunsil/Iris use. Doesn't sit flat at all. The material is thick and the jacket seems a bit small. I managed to pull it around and get a bit better fit. The stitching is huge, again, expected I guess but I hoped for better.
My photos, by the way, were not futzed much - basically out of the box so we'll see if anything can be brought out when I or others have a chance to strip it down and rework it.
Thank you for those pictures, Comatoast.
The sculpt looks good. I'm guessing since you just receive these that not much futzing has been done here. The pic above shows a bit of problem with nice cleanly shaped pockets -- again, I can futz those by taking a pin to make a sharper line and then iron. There's a lot of tweaking to the suit to make it really nice. But again, I think the bones are there.
The buttons still look black to me, hoping they are truly gray. Large stitching is also visible but I'm hoping it is less visible to the naked eye. I didn't notice it in the video reviews.
I might remove those snaps and go with a little Velcro.
Man, I cannot wait to get these and start futzing.

I agree- the BLACK buttons really stand out- ughh
The Connery HS looks OVER detailed with all the deep wrinkles and folds in the skin. He looks older than he looked in Goldfinger- really look at the film again. I think they simply over-did the skin details for the sake of realism in their eyes. A softer look would have been better. Like they just did a good job on GF and OJ but over-did Bond HS because they worried about it the most. Still they look good.
Legs look very skinny and yes tailoring sort of sloppy
Yeah, this is basically out of the box. The buttons are a dark grey. The biggest offender with the stitching is the shirt. The rest isn't as noticeable.
Good to know. Did you just get Bond?
Their response is very unbecoming of a company. Not saying they are not entitled to feel the way and be frustrated, if I were them I'd be over it too... but vocalizing it that way makes them look petty. They need to get a PR person.
Its a good thing that the "3%" of experts were on their ass because the improvements we have seen to their usual very sub par product would have not come through. Even though they still fell short of their prototypes and their ultimate promises...
