Connery BOND Legacy 25-30 Day Notice

[Wor-Gar]

I just got it -- will be arriving in 25-30 days.

I hope they post production pictures soon. I'm very curious how this ranks against the Brosnan we all just saw.

I cancelled this pre-order, I was just after the GoldFinger tux... I have the Dr No Bond, with appears to me as a slightly different sculpt to the Goldfinger one which I believe is being reused here... Just looks different. Anyway, having said that... I did really want that tux...

 

[dekadentdave]

I ordered it. Gotta have classic Connery in the white tux. After seeing pics of the George Hamilton Brosnan Legacy, however, I'm really worried now. These look like they were painted very sloppily and even the costuming looks rushed. I have serious second thoughts but I could always swap headsculpts with Dr. No Connery if the paint really sucks.

I canceled the Brosnan ... and I might cancel the others. However, I couldn't pass on Connery in that outfit. That outfit is more iconic to me than the black tux. I just hope it turns out as nice as the proto.

 

[Wor-Gar]

My concern is the clothing and stitching after seeing Brosnan. I do believe they are reusing the Goldfinger Connery, so I'm not too concerned with the figure itself. As Dave said, I can always swap bodies with Dr. No Bond or Goldfinger Bond.

But I am excited to have 3 Connerys in 3 key outfits: classic black tux, black "spy" outfit, and now the white tux look.

 

[screamingmetal]

I'm going to have to cancel this one.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I'm going to have to cancel this one.

I will in a heartbeat if the clothing is not up to expectation.

 

[dekadentdave]

What I don't understand is why Brosnan Legacy is sold out and none of the others have. You'd think Connery would have sold out first and now with all of the cancellations that Brosnan would at least be on Second Chance.

That is weird... but I guess a younger generation sees Bond as Brosnan, not those old timers that I grew up with.

Or maybe it has to do with edition size... or maybe because there's only one other Brosnan to get while there's 3 other Connerys.

 

[dekadentdave]

No, there's 3 Brosnan's. Goldeneye Tux, Goldeneye Jungle and Legacy.

 

[Wor-Gar]

No, there's 3 Brosnan's. Goldeneye Tux, Goldeneye Jungle and Legacy.

Oh, I didn't know.

So I guess its my first instinct then... new generation.

I gotta say, back in the day, if BOND started with Brosnan, it wouldn't have made it past two sequels.

 

[screamingmetal]

I will in a heartbeat if the clothing is not up to expectation.

I have the first Connery Bond and would rather spend the money on the Endor Bundle. And I'll need every last cent to just get the Bundle, so Connery had to go.

 

[dekadentdave]

Back in the day, Bond started with Roger Moore and somehow he made it through 7. Unbelievable.

Those three stooges aren't worth one Connery.

Thing is, BOND had unstoppable inertia because of Connery... so much so that I would rush to theater always hoping Moore would finally do justice to Bond. It never happened. And it just got worse. "Octopusssy"? THE WORST!

Moore had moments. I kind of like LALD and TSWLM, parts anyway, but the series really frustrated me with "Moonraker"... when it really became a joke.

 

[metaphorge]

I keep vacillating back and forth on this one. I'm undecided on whether I want Connery in the white tux or in a suit; if I decide to go with the latter, the Thunderball Bond is still available at a really good price. Does anyone have this, how is the headsculpt on it look without the gear? He kind of looks like he might just have said "Do you expect me to talk?" ;D

 

[dekadentdave]

Thing is, Dalton really got the series back on track then it got derailed again when we had Brosnan doing Roger Moore Bond again. And I know you guys would argue that Craig is getting things back on track again but my problem is just with him. He's not my Bond.

No, there's 3 Brosnan's. Goldeneye Tux, Goldeneye Jungle and Legacy.

The Tuxedo Brosnan isn't GoldenEye. It's Die Another Day. That's why the GoldenEye jungle headsculpt isn't accurate for a younger Brosnan...they reused the DAD sculpt.

 

[dekadentdave]

Right, DAD. My bad.
