Honestly wouldn’t be surprised or mad if they go with a turtleneck look too. I feel like all Bond characters had them at one stage

Honestly, anything else HT announces now are going to pale in comparison to Bond.

This was one of the first games I remember getting for my PS2, a great James Bond game. I also remember going to watch Tomorrow Never Dies and Die Another Day in theaters and those being some of my favorites as a kid, so I’d be interested in seeing them do a Brosnan Bond.

This game was epic. Very fun and I loved the mulitplayer where you could set bots up of classic bond allies and villains and adjust their skill level individually. For me, this is the only semi worthy successor to Goldeneye.

I'm very excited by this news and also ready for disappointment haha. Hot toys will never go deep enough in the line to satisfy me but I shall be grateful for anything beyond Craig. Are any of the bond movies pre Goldeneye watched and enjoyed in Asia?

I have my doubts that anything from the Dalton era or earlier will be strong sellers beyond the most iconic looks for Connery and Moore and a sprinkling of their most notable villains (Jaws and Blofeld, given that golfinger, oddjob, Dr no and baron samedi have already received fairly good figures in recent years). More likely to get Brosnan and Craig era and even then probably just bond. Doubt we wI'll be treated to the Star Wars or MCU treatment.

In some ways it would have been better if a smaller outfit like EXO6 had picked up the licence. Someone who loved the property and would go deep into the line.

What if all we get are Cosbabies? (Have to be honest that I saw this and stole it from a Facebook post). Good news: You get all the Bonds. Bad news: They're all Cosbabies.

We all have our own tastes.

That actually sounds about right.

I wasn't talking about everyone else. Shouldn't you be blindly defending InArt somewhere?

I agree about EXO6 for how nimble production-wise they are and uber-motivated about their subject matter. I actually said this to Nanjim on FB about this but he disagreed, saying that he thinks there’s not much fan interest left in the Bond franchise to sustain a figure line. I disagree with him, but who truly knows what the numbers are and how this niche market for boutique figures actually looks like.

We don't know how deep HT will go until we can take a look back in a year or two. I choose to remain positive. A HT Bond line is a Grail, even saying it again doesn't feel real, but it is.

Hot Toys are making James Bond figures.

Were there a lot of Brosnan Bond toys? I don't recall.

There was a ton of Connery merchandise (for its time) after Goldfinger.

When was the Age of Collecting Toys, anyway? If its the last 20 years, then Craig should be the king. If its "post Star Wars", where you may have a good argument based on the merchandising explosion it spawned, then you'd think Moore would be the 'toy king' of Bond. Is the 'Age of Collecting Toys' really the 90's?

I remember when TLD came out I faithfully visited my local toy store that sold Corgis, naively expecting that movie’s gadgeted Aston Martin to appear at any time.

The Brosnan era enjoyed a renaissance in Bond merchandising particularly in books and toys. It was around after the release of TND when this started to happen, surely thankfully due to EON ramping up their licensing and merchandising efforts. Corgi not only steadily churned out Brosnan era vehicles, not only did they revive their past toys, but they went back to the old movies and made vehicles they never made like the Turkish pickup truck from FRWL and the double decker bus from LALD. Johnny Lightning began their series of Hot Wheels sized diecast cars. Exclusive Premiere, now defunct, began a pretty expansive series of 6-inch figures, with their first being a Brosnan Commander Bond. Then the grandaddy of them all as far as figures was Sideshow, producing a much more expansive line of 12 inch figures which I think went over two dozen, Hot Toys numbers you’d normally see only with SW, Marvel and DC. What I loved about Sideshow’s figures were their accessibility with a price point of $30 at outlets like Suncoast Video and Tower Records.
