Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

For those of you in the US wanting a piece of the action, Point Blank Toys on eBay have just parted out the white tux figure. I'd go for it if I were you!

Nice, he looks smoother and less pout-y.

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

Why all the sudden interest in that black box sculpt that's been available for so long?

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

More than likely because of the recent White Tuxedo release which may or may not be a new sculpt. The only way to know for sure is to compare them in-hand. Prototype photos just won't do.

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

That's correct, I'm leaning towards them all being the same, but I'm not going to get a head I don't need just to see.

I found this pic in my collection, it's dated from last Sept, posted by someone on here I think, as far as I can tell it's the first Black Box head:



Compare it to my white tux head:



What do you think!?

There's no doubt about that. No need to get anything else. There have been a number of "versions" of this head all over eBay for a long time.

Looks like the new one has its eyes slightly to one side -- which may be why it seems to look 'better'. But it is the same sculpt.

Yes, they do, I can definitely vouch for that. Basically, the only way to be sure you're getting a legit head is to buy from a seller that is breaking down the rest of the figure. Toy Anxiety, Monkey Depot and Point Blank all part Black Box. If you see a seller selling just heads then I'd say it's a recast.

There's no denying that is good. If you can afford it and can afford the services of a good painter, go for it, nobody is stopping you. I'm pointing out that there is a really nice alternative that is readily available and can be had legit for just over £20. If you're a budget Bond person like I am, you can still have a fine looking figure now.

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

First and third look the best.

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

Likewise, first and third, first being the best IMHO.

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

First looks best to me,

BTW, you'll soon notice that my pics will disappear from the thread. Due to a change in policy, hosting images on forums using Photobucket is no longer free. Apparently you'll have to pay $39 a month if you want to continue doing so. I've switched to Imgur but can't be bothered to go back and re-upload the pics. If you currently use PB I'd advise you to do the same.

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

Hahaha! You too!

This morning, I get up and my sig has disappeared. **** photobucket and their new policy. They've lost me too!

Flickr. 1TB of image hosting. FREE. All the time. Full resolution. There's no other image hosting site that comes close IMO. Photobucket has always sucked, I'm not sure why anyone would bother using it now.
