Finished Largo...

...and his assassiness, Fiona Volpe....

Still got a little work to do, but you get the idea. Largo needed someone to go along with him. Always thought Fiona and Domino were the hottest Bond girls.

Great work on these W!

Thank you!

I've had several old Bond projects on the books for years and "Skyfall" finally got me in the mood to track down the parts and finish them.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

hey dudes, Ive always thought the original SS Connery sculpt was decent, so I decided to commission out Iminime's outstanding painters to do it justice! and I must say, this is the best this sculpt can look IMO.

£32.99 for a Matchbox Renault!?

I guess it takes a diehard fan to even collect the bad ones.

That was for the wife...she is a bigger fan than me....and that it the story I am sticking to!

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Yeah, she'd have to be to want anything from View To A Kill!

Looking back, the Moore era was a definite lowlight for the franchise.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

I look back upon the previous 1:6 offerings from Sideshow from when the license was active. Many of us thought the offerings from were fabulous, but then it dawned upon us that a good bit of it was sub-par in comparison to the level of detail & quality we're accustomed to and demanding nowadays as collectors & customers for our hard earned 1:6 $.

I wish there would have been some more definitive (i.e. higher detailed & quality) 1:6 offerings from this license and given the same level or attention & respect such as HOT TOYS BRUCE LEE ENTER THE DRAGON set from over a year ago to use as an example.

I'm sure somewhere down the line the JB 007 license will be looked at again for the 1:6 treatment, but done better and right . . . while raping our bank accounts & wallets much to our dismay, but quite a few of us will cave in . . . as usual.

Great collection DGT Woodward! Is that your loft?!?

Funnily enough the thing that caught my eye most was the Micro Machines collection, especially the Moonraker set which I've never seen before. Love that someone made a set of vehicles from this movie, which is generally hated, but which I love for the world it creates (they'd only have to cut the Gondola chase and the appearance of Jaws in the pre-credit sequence for it to be a much better movie too).

So long as a Broccoli holds the reins a Bond license for 1/6 is never going to happen. If, by some miracle, the rights to Bond were to pass to somebody else and maybe a different studio then you never know.
