Sorry. It upset me because I respect you, and it kind of played on my mind. Lets move on.
The good:
1. Excellent sculpt.
2. Head isn't too large in hand.
3. Great accessories, especially the pencil and heel transmitter.
4. Classy stand, although it's staying in the box because I only use oval stands
The bad:
1. The body is just awful. It's been designed to have DROOPY MAN-BREASTS WITH ERECT NIPPLES - WTF? Shoulders too wide, neck goes in too far, legs and shoulders floppy. Instant body swap, except you can't swap it because the suit has been tailored too closely to the useless body.
2. No one thinks the suit is going to look like a Yunsil, but the fact is the shoulders are too narrow. The large chest makes Bond look like a thin man with a weird paunch. He looks top heavy. The elasticated tie is awful. The worst aspect of the suit other than the narrow shoulders is the waistcoat. It looks okay on its own but the material is very thick, the fasteners are too thick, and its very stiff. It could be that it would look better if the body had a slimmer chest but its hard to tell.
3. Packaging is uninspired, the card feels cheap, even the plastic feels cheap - more Milk Tray than Hot Toys - and its also pretty wasteful being too large.
4. The paint is all a bit ho hum but not terrible - what makes it bad is that the red accented skin combined with those light, twinkling eyes makes Bond look like a jolly uncle at a family party. Making them darker, as Raymond did, is the way to go.
Someone mentioned being able to fix the nose rub at home. While I'm good at kitbashing I can't paint to save my life, and trying to paint over the nose rub would just highlight it.
really gives me hope that I can make this figure how I want it to be
