Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD
I asked about that and they put it together with the nearest body to hand. I think the other figure is one that ACI are going to do, I'm sure I saw it in a case with the rest of their upcoming releases.
I'm hoping it's the camera making his eyes look that blue.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD
The top pic is taken at close range with flash (you can see it in the vid) so I suspect the second pic is more representative. His eyes really are that blue in real life though- I shot this pic myself at the Quantum premiere...

So, you saw him in the flesh, nice one!
I'm so looking forward to getting that head.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD
I did!!
It was a freezing cold night in Leicester Square and me & the missus had waited all day to catch a glimpse. First thing that strikes you is how small and lean he is - no more than 5'10" at a push. He only turned round to face us once and even though my fingers were frozen I pushed the shutter button and the above is what I got. Daniel came across as a very humble, regular bloke which is one of the many reasons I'm a fan.
And yes, the Modern Life head gets better with every pic - it may not be a 100% accurate likeness but its easily the one that reminds me of how he looked in real life so make of that what you will.
Video is here - the Craig figure is towards the end.

Still not a huge fan of that sculpt but it's far from the worst attempt.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD
After all the previous bashing of Craig sculpts in here save for bbkill and inigou, I'm shocked that the modernlife sculpt is getting the OK sign from so many hardasses. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
Not a fan of that sculpt. But... maybe a good repaint will change my tune.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD
I think the Modern Life sculpt is about as good as the bbkill V1. I think the Snyder-Man sculpt is underrated. Then again, I don't own one, either. I doubt I'll be able to grab the bbkill V2, but I love my inigou sculpt.
I think I'll still pick up the Modern Life head.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD
I like the likeness of the Modern Life head and it's already painted better than I could do it, so, that's double the win in my book.
Each sculptor will have used different pics for reference so, with the fact that he looks different in every pic, it follows that no head will capture everything we've seen in any one pic.
With the reference pic they used side by side with the sculpt that resulted it would look good, but maybe not so when you see it against anything else.

That can be said about any person. The real problem is that all the sculpts have at least a few things that are off, and some have many things off.

If I'm honest, I think we should stop kidding ourselves that we're ever going to get a sculpt that's perfect and just settle on what we each like and be done with it.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD
Incredible variations. You really can see where each sculpt has its pros and each its cons. All of them hint at Craig. I think each could work depending on your use. As has been said, v2 bbkill looks more like a Skyfall Bond, Inigou feels more like Casino Royale with that shaggy doo (shaggy for Craig) and Modern Life may work for QOS. I think its those blazing dead eyes on the sculpt that throw me. Eager to see someone with skill attack this.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD
We've yet to see decent pics of the ML sculpt and we won't till folk have them in hand. I've got 3 Craig sculpts, the old Reggie one, the first BBKill and Adam's. They each had their merits. I still doubt we'll ever see a definitive one as we all want different things from it.
