JAMES BOND - Original creations

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Worst body in terms of what? This is the first I've heard of there being anything wrong. It looks to suit your Bond.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

I hate the ACI personally, weirdly proportioned too tall crazy skinny waste joints that are both floppy and clicky and his back always
Leans backwards and he can't bend forward. It fills out almost everything I tired on it oddly.

I know many that were disappointed with this body. I tried to work with it but I hate it.

Oh, ok, fair enough,

I didn't realise they were that bad.

Yes Raymond summed up the ACI Christian body to a TEE thanks same reason I dislike it , as a statue maybe ok , don't let my pic fool u it can't stand on its on. will drop any sec u walk away , is floppy ankle and knees ,the lack of bending forward is bad enough , but it flops side to side yuk!! Just don't waste money on them.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Yes that's true! I forgot about the weird side flopping thing! and it also seems like his legs are uneven. This one was a big disappointment.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Christian ACI body has that many problems? Hmmm... good to know, thank you.

Anyone have any problems with those Muscular Club bodies?

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

These are great likenesses! Though, as much as I love Bond, I have never opted to get a figure or figures of all the Bonds, as they would seem to just be a bunch of guys in suits and not that visually interesting.

Some Bond villains and "Bond Girls" would be a good line to start with. The amount of Bond figures I have is pitiful compared the surplus of movies I keep buying over and over again in different forms (Collections are Forever...)

At the OSW one of the members there is apparently responsible for the production of the Muscular Club body. The member is based out of China Hong Kong and is also a eBay seller.

He started posting earlier this year and introduced the body. He asked for feedback from the forum's members on how to further improve/refine the body.

The overall consensus is that it's a decent/good HT TT "muscular" clone with some nuances. Quality wise it is decent. A few folks addressed issues with the ankle peg/socket being a bit floppy/loose, but it can be remedied with the known tips/tricks to add tension/making it firm/tight.

The figure is on V 2.0 stage and supposedly V 3.0 is in the designing stages for possibly next year from my recollection.

That's very helpful, thanks.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

I have that body too. It's ok. Basically the same build more or less than the hot toys version but its ugly looking so its definitely the kind of thing you want to leave clothes, ugly unrealistic sculpting and plasticy finish. But it's cheaper than the HT version and offers subtle variation. You never know when one guy might need a mm more or less of man ****s lol.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

I'm glad you said that, Ray, because I was considering that Muscular Club body as a cheap alternative for a figure I'm making that will be shirtless. But clearly there is no substitute -- I must find an actual TTM-19 I guess.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Has anyone received their DID Bond from Vantage Collectibles, yet? I'm getting a little antsy.

It's still going to be a bit more of a wait. The MI6 Agent Figure is scheduled for Late August, but in "overseas shipping" speak that usually translates to Late September. DID will send us a notice when the figures are about to arrive in the US and we will update our newsletter accordingly when we receive the news.

Definitely one to skip of you want him shirtless bud, if its a clothes custom I'd give my stamp of approval and say go for it for the value it's not shabby, it just looks shabby aesthetically!

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Ok is that what that body is called MCB , right I got that also basically the wolverine body with moobs, lol yes , spot on again Ray .the colouring on the body and arms can come not matching, but really if for a muscle clothed figure is all good, am using it on my TOYScity suit looks good , and I used my TTM19 for vest wearing display.

This tux is perfect. Need a new gun though, anyone have a nice PPK with silencer? PM me! Thanks.

One of the best Bonds I've seen. I have been AWOL for a while. Am I right to assume that's Spenser's sculpt?

You are absolutely correct.
Spenser did a great job
Here's mine:

Spenser is also working on a Connery Bond sculpt which I am sure I will pick up.
In the interim, Raymond has inspired me to pick up a Toy City tux this week for my Maximus Miniatures Connery Bond.

I know Spenser worked on that, but it's technically a recast of the Sideshow figure with resculpted hair.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Got my Sean Connery Bond outfitted for a game of Baccarat at the casino.
Thanks again to Raymond whose picture inspired me to pick up the tux.
Head by Maximus Miniatures, TTL body, Toy City Tux, ZCWO shirt, Sideshow tie (got one that was parted out this week), Brother Production gun, Bond's Dr No stand (not pictured).
