JAMES BOND - Original creations

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

I'm interested in this sculpt as well so I took the liberty of rotating Desisandy's pics (hope you don't mind..lol).

I like it, and the suit.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

The head is way too pointy, so the half-decent facial sculpt is kind of wasted.

You're going to have to settle for something eventually, that or commission a head you are going to be happy with.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Without any rework, I think I can live with a face that's off easier than that one - pointy and looking undersized on some bodies. If BBKill ever releases his sculpt, I'll consider it, otherwise I don't think I'll be grabbing any of the additional options currently available.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Repainted Simplz Toys head. The photos of the head with the tux do look "pointy". I don't know if that is a camera or casting issue but mine does not look like that. I almost thought it was a different head when I first saw it.

Couple of quick pics of the ZC World set -





The sculpt is so much better than the promo pics, I'd say its the best available sculpt out there.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Papasmoak feel free to rotate . That's the Bro pro Bond , I pick that up for the accessories , the sculpt wasn't, much of a DC look ,that's why is replaced by the simplz head the Zcwo sculpt is ok also for BOND bash . But current Craig sculpt,s is still missing the mark a bit ,but they are not bad at all .but for those interested in suits for SKyfall this might be a good suit. I just bought. Feel free to rotate my pics

Looks pretty good in that pic. I think we need to see more pics, just to see how much the camera is influencing what we see. Besides, hair is easier to shave down and re-sculpt than a face is.

The more I see that sculpt the more it looks like a bad seaside waxwork. The Simplz still has possibilities, as does BBKill's and the DID, we shall see....

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Wow... All quiet on the Bond front.

Here's my most recent way to display my Bond collection. I decided to put Connery's Bond against all of the villains in a high stakes Texas Hold 'Em game. I gave Connery the same cards that Bond had in Casino Royale (7 and 5 of Spades). As wel as giving the villains (who stayed in) the same cards that the others had.



No, you're not dreaming. ^^^^^ Galore is dealing--and here's Bond's perspective.







I put lots of fun little things (like coveted objects of value) and if you look carefully you'll see Scaramanga's got a nice collection of gold items in front of him (lighter and such).







Just your ordinary Saturday night game with the fellows.

Great pics.

I only have the jaws figure but might pick up some more of the oldy villians.
No love for craig for me.
Brosnon was a good bond and lovin that spenser sculpt, but I'm a roger moore fan, closely followed by ol shaun.

Some people would say you're not a Bond fan at all. While I didn't dislike Moore, I've always felt he was too old, in every movie. And while I like Brosnan as an actor in general, he's my least favorite Bond of all time. He just didn't fit the role at all and the movies had just gotten too silly by that time. Craig is currently tied with Connery at the top for me. Then Dalton, then Moore, Lazenby and Brosnan.

(EDIT: why did I write Niven previously? Some delusion I was having... Lazenby)

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Simplz Toys head on Hot Toys Hawkeye body for some size perspective. This is the closest I have to a nude body without having to strip a figure down.

It seems as though the sculptors just sculpt the heads and take the money, after all, they've done their job. They don't make the bodies and pay them little attention.

Mmm, that pic says it all really, that body is a decent build for DC and you can definitely see that the head is too small. Ah well...

Paging BBKill, though Lakor may be more his style now!

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

So-here are three may "Craig Bond" heads together.You should know all of them.You can see wich is smallest one...We need ask Bbkill to make new one head BIG enough!Sorry, but what or who is"Lakor"?

 

[gido]

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Size of one in the middle will be ok.

 

[Rogerbee]

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

The first one looks the right size, is that Natchan's?

Lakor make baby versions of popular figures, BBKill has recently become a father, so babies would be his thing now.

Moore too old
He was a sex god

He was the quintessential englishman according to alan partridge and I have to agree.
On the outside a ladies man and a closet homosexual.
I love the old fruit

He is the one I grew up with and was taken to the cinema to see moonraker when I was very young.
Was a great film and yes is chessey and so is he but it had jaws in it and lasers and space shuttles.
What more do you need?

I think connery was a great bond and he is my dads favorite, but come on he's scottish

Dalton was a rubbish bond imo and only when brosnon reprised the role did it do well again.
Bond was a dead duck untill then.
Niven?
Was he really a bond or was that a spoof with peter sellers?

Gunna watch skyfall now and will give craig a go, but I find him a bit dull tbh.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Okay, help please.

I've been following the discussion of head sizes, and I am looking at what I've sculpted... and I am suddenly at a loss as to how much I need to shrink this sucker. It's obviously too big, but before I was thinking 10-ish% shrinkage would be needed... but now I'm not sure.

Here is the head on a TT body.

This is my Silva head on the body... and I think the Silva head is proportioned about right for Bardem's big head.

And these are the heads together.

'Bout what percentage shrinkage should I be aiming for? I've been looking at these too long and I have lost all sense of perspective.
