Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Picked up two Brosnan bond cheap ($A50 each) yesterday day cheap. One is going towards a uniformed bash and the other is going on my BMW bike with a Wai Lin . Now I need another Daniel Craig sculpt to throw the Tuxedo on.

As promised! These were painted over 4 years ago! I hope you like them they were 5 inch scale same as Dr Who.

They look great!!

Love that BMW bike idea--- Any pictures of the bike? My Wai Lin's got the two guns going like at the end of the movie but I really like you're idea.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Hey Darth Neil - my Wai Lin has two guns as well ! I picked up a second and a headsculpt from toy anxiety

The bike is a new ray produced - its correct. The only mod required to the bike is to remove the rear view mirrors, which snap off quite easily.

BTW - is this susula ? It was only posted 3 April and notes that they thought they had lost it in a house move and only just found it. Maybe we still might get casts ?

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

No idea about the Craig hs...

Where did you pick up the bike?.... Available from any specific on-line retailers? I've got an extra Die Another Day tux Brosnan Bond (that right now is just jacketless with gun holster and pouring himself a drink) which I'd love to use for this... Have you been able to find matching (or close to it) clothes from that scene?

I did find this picture from someone's collection when I was doing an image search...

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Thanks Greggo,those figures look superb and that was 5 years ago??
Am I right in thinking that the articulation would be added later?

Well let me tell you something! We designed and fully illustrated articulated figures from Casino Royale including Mollaka, Obanno, M, Vespa x2 Bond x4 versions and Le cheffire plus Mr White and plus some henchmen. These were sculpted from our 7 inch limited articulation range, however due to time and the fact we needed to show something at Toy Fair UK they sculpted the 7 inch Range at 5 inch.
The 5 inch range was going to have the same articulation as our Harry Potter figures over 20 points. Its so sad they never made it because I know for a fact Kids and Collectors around the world would love them.

Here is a quick picture of the Maximus Miniatures Bond sculpt that I received this week.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Hmm, not feeling the hair for that suit, thats a pretty specific Dr. No look IMO, and I think he'd look better in a Tux or blue shirt.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

What suit is that?

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

BTW guys, I missed my opportunity to grab a MIB Q a few weeks ago. I don't know if anyone else is aware, but Cotswold has a few SSC Bond figures for some damn good prices. Only 1 of each though.

Sideshow Toys Action Figures

I snagged the Q--along with Blofeld and a Legacy Lazenby.

Couldn't pass up those prices--I still need a DAD 007 though.

That was shaping up to be the best DC head for me. Shame it never happened

I'd love to see Zkulptor have a go at Craig- I believe he could nail it...

Well he already did one and I didn't love it. But another attempt might turn out better

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Glad to see this thread is still kicking. I also pick up new Bond figures here and there.

Take a look at my two newest additions. They arrived this week!

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

I have a full james bond set coming by a SSF painter who is 2.5 years behind. I've been patient and understanding but starting to get a little worried to be honest.

Anyways I love Bond. Love it. I hate that there is not more lisenced stuff. I really want some sort of replica of the Goldfinger Aston Martin and if one existed in 1/6 it would be the only 1/6 vehicle I could justify.

Many of the SS heads have great likenesses, including the two that Balsquat posted. And even though the likenesses are good they are behind the times and the outfits REALLY are behind the times.

I recently got he Maximus Miniatures Bond head and made my grey suit Godfinger Bond. Deckard says the hair is not right but I think it works, though would prefer the Tux look from Dr No but the SS Tux is not good enough for me.

I hate that there was not more buz for Maximus' sculpt. Once I post my pics Im hoping there will be, I want him to take on Moore and Brosnan next.

Right now all I have are Craig (feng) and Connary (Maximus). Love them, Sean is a dream come true really... but since we will not see more official produt we need to comission some sculpts that do justice to Bond.

I want the full set of Bonds and various outfits for them. I want a few key villains... Goldfinger, Jaws, Oddjob, Blofeld, trevelyan, Dr No. A few key Bond Girls, Honey Ryder, _____ Galore, Xenia Vesper (not iconic I know, but I love her) and Q.

One day I hope this can happen, and if most of my collection has to go one day those will remain. In fact before I got out of control with 1/6 I thought the majority of stuff I'd own would be Bond. and now I have thongs I barely care about like Inception and Underworld and barely any Bond.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

To be honest, I don't really need or want to pay for Hot Toys quality anymore.

Allot of these figures came out at $40
At that price point, I could buy a nice little collection of figures with decent likeness, a few unique accessories and a display stand w/color art box.

Now it's all about crazy museum quality tailoring, paints and sculpting. Now figures come with multiple outfits and 3-4 pairs of hands. I just don't care for how 1/6 figures have become so elaborate.

I would rather pay a small amount of $$ for some really cool figures, that may not be perfect, but display well and represent the movies I love. I really don't care for Hot toys to pick up the license, I just wish Sideshow had continued with the line and made a few more figures.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Personally speaking I'd rather have less junk and fewer high quality stuff. I can't look at the older stuff any more, sure they were 40 bucks but they do look it. It's hard to justify anything over 200 though, even with as amazing as they are 200 is a lot of money and most of them waver around that..

anyway...
