JAMES BOND - Original creations

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Very nice Connery! It does not look very screen accurate to me, but almost look like a younger stylized version. I also like kick ass pompodore. I would like to see more pics.

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...

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

I really like the Maximus sculpt from the eyebrows down but overall I still prefer the old heads with a new coat of paint.

Need to finish up my older Bond, Auric, and Red Grant as well.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

A Brosnan headsculpt is definitely up there with my most wanted 1/6th items!

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Brosnan is the next must have for me. To me the ultimate Bonds are Sean, Brosnan and Craig.

The other three Are the weak three IMO. Even though I love Spy who Loved me as a film the only movie I liked Moore in was Live and Let Die. He like automatically got way too damn old in every film after that one. And he was like 70 in a view to a kill.

The other two Bonds are barely likeable IMO.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Yep, those are the big 3 for me, too. I like Craig and Brosnan equally. Die another day is bad though in my opinion. Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never dies and Casino Royale are all immense, The World is Not Enough and Quantum Of Solace are ok.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

I gotta go with Connery, Dalton, and Craig myself. In that order.

Connery is like so far and away the best though it isn't even close. And his movies all tie up really well from Dr. No to You Only Live Twice, its basically Bond Vs Spectre with the break in the middle for Goldfinger. No one else's overall journey as Bond even comes close to comparing, look how all over the place Moore is, he goes from Harlem to Space.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Totally agree. Moore had his fair share of bad scripts and cold war propoganda storylines which tainted his films but he is all over the place as an actor. He felt like a handsome fresher edgier Bond in Live and Let Die and then just an old bumbling fool in every film after that.

Craig brings a visceral brooding colder sense to Bond. Somehow less likeable though.

Brosnan is more charming. He just also looks like I always felt Bond should though. I have a soft spot for Goldeneye too.

But Connery is the perfect balance of charm, wit, skill. Goldfinger is still the best overall film. Plus Connery has the distinct advantage of having the best era for fashion. Some of Moore's 70's and 80's get ups are laughable.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Live and Let die will always be my fav Moore. I agree he had "the look" in that Movie. He did look really aged after that one, though I love Moonraker and most of the newer bonds too. The only bond I ever really hated was Die Another Day, which is funny because I also think it had the best beginning of any Bond movie with him being captured and then breaking out. Started promising, ended horribly.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

For me it's between Goldeneye and Casino Royale for the best opening. Love the Dam jump and then the scenes with 006 in Goldeneye!

Yes, that was also epic. Even in the video game, the facility was my fav level.

Thanks very much... The Connery and Brosnan Bonds (in tux) were the first two SSC figs I bought. I was hooked.

Could the pictures be bigger?

It's how I saved them-- I'd have to take other pics. I'll go see what I can do-- Here's one I took earlier until I post the bigger ones.

I know-- It's an ongoing battle. No IKEA within striking distance so I'm stuck without Detolfs.
