JAMES BOND - Original creations

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

Hey guys, just thought I'd mention I'm modifying my Craig sculpt and it will be available soon if there is enough interest. I'm also due to be releasing the PPK and watch sets around the same time. Keep your eyes peeled on the interest threads

There will be enough interest, you can be sure of that! Selling your heads is probably the wisest move you could have made. My Black Box head is now on the way so it will be very interesting to see how it measures up. At least limiting the sale of yours to members means less chance of it being recast. Both the Eleven and the first Black Box have been extensively recast.

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

The most recent BlackBox head isn't bad, though the skin tone is DARK.

I know what you mean, though the box is probably bright white in natural light, even so, he could well have a bit of a tan. I'll know soon enough.

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

Dialled up the lighting a bit, not too bad now:



We'll see.....

Now, that's a game changer!

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

I just think two great Craig sculpts will be good chance to choose.No game changes

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

Another pic of a Black Box head, not sure which one this is though:



Looks quite good.

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

I have it in-hand. Like I said, it's darker than it should be. Craig never had a tan this deep.

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

Is yours the white tux head then? I'd like to see a pic if it is.

 

[Mr.E]

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

Indeed it is, I'll get one for you.

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

Cool, I can't decide yet whether all the Black Box heads are the same or they did a new one for the white tux figure. What do you think?

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

My Black Box Craig head arrived earlier, and I am SO happy with him! When I first unpacked him, he had been squished quite badly, however, I heated him up with a hairdryer and got him back to the proper shape. I took a non macro pic of him so you could see as close as possible what he actually looks like in hand:



Still a bit wet there, LOL!

Now with macro:











That hair wasn't blonde enough, so, out with the paint:



Better!

Then it was tux time:







The tux is from the SSC Dr No Bond, the shirt could be TTL and I have no idea where the bow tie is from. The shoes are SSC and the PPK may be SSC. The body is a DID All Era, which the DID MI6 figure will come with.

All in all though, I can highly recommend the Black Box head, I think it's one of the best. It's an instant Craig to me.

So, that's all my dream 1/6 projects complete now, yay! (I think!)

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

Looks good, but, it'll be in limited quantities and you'd still have to get it painted. I think the Black Box is as good and is widely available, just be careful it's not a bootleg as this head has already been copied. Mine has a number on the back of the neck and I got it from a seller that was parting out the figure.

Very nice That sculpt looks excellent and i like how the iris/pupils are painted on this version. What's the skin tone like?

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

It does look a bit dark in hand, but, they followed HT's lead on this. Darker skintones photograph better. In today's culture, they know that any figure ever made will get a pic taken of it. With most lighting, even daylight, you take a pic of a pale figure and when you look at the pic the skin looks washed out and you can lose detail. Darker tones look natural and alive when photographed by just about any camera and you don't lose detail. The Jokers and Harley Quinn get away with it because there's other make-up there, it's not just an overall pale tone.

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

Is that the head from the white tux suit?

 

[Rogerbee]

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

Yes, it is,

I think that all the Black Box heads are the same, but haven't seen enough pics to be sure.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

The paint apps look so different in some of these shots. Hard to believe it's the same sculpt.

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

I think that's down to lighting as much as anything else.

First head:



White tux:



They look too much alike for one to be a completely new head, odd though that may sound..
