CONNERY LEGACY BOND...

[dekadentdave]

I know that the Hot Toys Navy M63 machinegunner comes with a cig and I remember some of the Sideshow Platoon figures had them.

The question would be how could I have it hang from his mouth without having to use some type of glue on him?

You could always do a head swap with the Thunderball Bond. The slightly-opened mouth might better accomodate a ciggy.

As he's the only Bond with a box of cigs I'm going to have him sitting at the table (I'm making a Bond poker game diorama with one of each Bond in casino attire) taking a cig out of the box--- possibly with the cig already dangling from his mouth--- now what and how could I pull that one off?

I would bore a small hole into the extra hand - the one that looks like a gently closed fist - and put the cig in there. The cig pack is nice, but Bond carried his cigarettes in a gunmetal cigarette case, not the factory packaging, so the pack doesn't add much for me.

That was actually one of the solutions that I was considering...

EDIT: However after revisiting my Thunderball Bond there's a reason why the mask is there--- not a very good sculpt at all (well in comparison with the GF one used for the Legacy Bond).

Anyone have a good close-up of the Connery?

 

[Customikey]

Got mine. A repaint is deinitely in order. He's cross-eyed!!! I guess there's a reason that Vodka bottle looks empty.

Would you happen to have a pic of the eyes please? I hope they aren't all like this.

Anyone else have any photos of this figure?

 

[dekadentdave]

Mikey, my Legacy Connery is slightly cross-eyed as well just like my T-800 Arnold was. Some people have said that it was because the curvature of the sculpt where the eye was painted that makes it appear cross-eyed but it still looks "off." I can't wait to see your repaint with less thick eyebrows and maybe a more receded hairline. Also the dimples in his jaw don't look as pronounced so maybe some deeper shading can bring those out.

Mine has more of a lazy eye than a cross eye.

Yes that is a more accurate description of how it looks.

Just opened Connery. It is a nice figure and the outfit is great. One of the best bonds. Some off details with his top shirt button, but like his dinner jacket and guns.

Brosnan has a terrible suit, I think I am sending him back. All the stitching stands out and the tacked on pockets make him look like a homeless guy. The paint job wasn't bad but the outfit was a bomb.

I'd love it if someone could take a close-up picture of this Bond. Please.

 

[dekadentdave]

Ask pjam since he's feeling photogenic today and he has the best looking Bond with the carnation.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Great avatar BTW, Dave.

Don't know how photogenic I'm feeling today but for WG, anything!

 

[DarthNeil]

Definitely the best Connery SS Bond and it's a huge improvement from what we've heard about the Brosnan Bond...

I'm looking forward to the Lazenby and Moore Bonds (for the poker casino scene I'm constructing as my ultimate Bond diorama showcase).

 

[Wor-Gar]

Great pics, Pjam. Thank you.

I don't see the cross-eyed/lazy eyed deal, but there is a lot of shading on the pic. I've seen the lazy eye thing a lot from SS -- T-800 anyone? -- so I'm not surprised.

I do need another Connery Bond though. So maybe I'll pick this up after all... on ebay.
