BOND VILLAIN - who would you like?

[pjam]

Great news, Steven.

I also received my Goring body today! Its fantastic. Proper girth and all. Should make an excellent Goldfinger.

Where can I find one? Who is Goring? Who makes it?

 

[DarthNeil]

Where can I find one? Who is Goring? Who makes it?

Ask and ye shall receive...



He was the second in command behind Hitler and he was a fighter ace in WWI. He was in command of the Luftwaff (sp?)--- anyway the toy is from In The Past Toys and it has a great belly for GF--- look back in this thread and you'll see some naked (oh my) shots. But if you find one complete, like Wor-Gar and myself did, his clothes already are good (well the bottom half) for GF in his Grand slam speech.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I'm with you on that...

Let me know if you find the appropriate tops and I'll do likewise.

Deal.

Finding a yellow vest with checkered pattern and a coat big enough for Goring is going to be tricky. May need help from a custom clothing maker. I have my feelers out for that.

In the meantime, its ebay under dolls for coats, jackets and vest...

It's a real shame that all of the Nazis did not look this ridiculous.

 

[figuremasterles]

Just wanted to post this...
Just got in Spencer's Goldfinger headsculpt...
And...

WHOLLY MOLY!
THIS THING RULES!

ANYONE, and I do mean, ANYONE, that has ever wanted, or even thought about getting a Goldfinger figure, even if you/we have to go through a lot of parts gathering to get it made as a custom...you all owe yourselves this head!
To those of you that have purchased one from Steven, good for you!
You will be sooooooo glad you did!

IT IS AMAZING! Terrific likeness Steven!
YOU ARE THE MAN!

Now, to get time to paint this rascal! Hell, it's so close in likeness, that it may just paint itself!

Bravo Steven. Bravo!

Pics to come...

 

[Wor-Gar]

WA-HOO!!

GREAT NEWS!!!!

Nothing like a good head...

what about that guy on eBay. Charly Bond. he makes a custom Auric that has that suit. wonder if he'd make us the jacket/vest or whole outfit if a few of us went in together. shipping might be a bear tho.

I contacted him a while back. He said he only sells the whole figure, no separate clothing. And I believe he wanted $125 for his Goldfinger figure plus $28 to ship. Considering the inaccuracies of the outfit, I passed.

Also, he apparently is no longer a registered user on ebay.

 

[DarthNeil]

Still looking for clothing....

Great news LES!!!!!! Can't wait for the painted one to arrive.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I spoke to a possible clothing customizer but it looks like she passed... for now.

So its back to ebay. Anyone got any leads on a large brown jacket? Or a checkered vest??? Its all I need.

 

[DarthNeil]

OK Les has received his HS (non-painted) but he's got other things to deal with so let's start hearing from other folks as soon as you receive yours----and pictures!!!!

Still haven't gotten mine, but it's a painted version that I ordered. Hopefully soon. I'm anxious!

 

[Wor-Gar]

I hope Spenser updates this thread soon with news of BLOFELD's availability.

Hint, hint...

 

[Spenser]

Blofeld will be coming soon, but I will say that I most likely will not be offering any painted ones. The Goldfinger heads are taking way too much time which is something I wanted to avoid.

By the way I’ll be getting them out this week.

Great to hear that Blofeld will be soon! Thanks for the update, Spenser!

:chew


BTW, for those who know charly_bond (the customizer on ebay from Argentina) he's back -- now known as jb_worldprop. Perhaps now with a new identity he will in fact sell clothing. He has a pretty good Le Chiffre up right now.

Headsculpt arrived; looks fabulous.

Headsculpt arrived; looks fabulous.

Can't wait to see some pics---- have you got your costume yet? (if I remember corectly you're looking at doing the laser scene...)

I just scored a great looking tux on E-bay that I'm going to add gold accents to for my Goldfinger (Goring body) as well as scoring playing cards and money for my BOND poker game diorama...

Spenser, even though we paid for the HS painted let me say that in addition we also APPRECIATE the time and care that you've put into this project. Thanks very much for giving us Bond fans those core villains that we'd never have otherwise. I can't wait to see the painted Auric GF head.

As soon as it arrives I can start to think about Blofeld (and payment will be sent accordingly).

Any other HS arrivals? Any pictures ready?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Metaphorge -- please post pictures!

DarthNeil -- please post pictures of the tux you got!


In the meantime, here's a "do-you-know-your-Goldfinger" game:

With each outfit, Goldfinger has a real "gold" item in his presence. For example, the gold gun in the end scene. Can you name the gold item with each outfit:

Miami poolside -- ?
Golf -- ?
Laser table -- ?
Stud farm -- ?
Fort Knox -- golden gun

 

[DarthNeil]

I'll post some pics once I get the tux in hand as by that time I'll probably have the HS and the Goring body is just waiting to be decapitated.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Metaphorge, you're killing me... no pics of your sculpt for us?
