I call it the HOT TOYS pricing methodology regardless of durability/quality.

They bumped the price for the specific head. $50 for the head, $30 for the body.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD
I see. Thanks guys!
I ordered the sets from Natchan and I'm sculpting my own head for a HT body. That ZC body seems nice, but isn't correct on the tux too as everyone pointed out. I guess I'll see how Nat's set comes out. Most of the photos I've seen looks really good so far and I can't wait to get it. I think I'll pass on the body set from ZC though.

There are close-up's of that ZCWO sculpt around and it isn't very good from what I can recall. Though it is by Iminime, it ISN'T the original Craig head they did, rather a compromise that came later.
I looked around and couldn't find the right pic of it, there may even be a pic in this thread somewhere. To me, BBKill nailed him, there's a poster for Skyfall where he appears to be walking down his gun barrel and his head looks identical to BBKill's.

It's just the suit, the HS in the pics is the Roadshow one.

According to their contact page they're actually in Australia!
Hmm, probably means astronomic shipping costs for US or UK....

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD
The body on the Nat set is a good quality, though I don't know what brand it actually it is... it poses well, though, and it does not have those big unsightly gaps like the ZCWO body. I'm not too keen on the head and will replace it, though it isn't a bad sculpt at all. There's just something off about it, though I haven't quite identified what it is. I think it's maybe a bit caricatured...? I'm not sure. In any case, the full set was totally worth the money. It was $150 direct from her with $20 shipping, and came with both outfits and the full figure.
Thanks for the headsup on the Rocco sculpt - it's very charming! I think I'm going to pass on it, but I think Rocco really nailed his smile.
ETA: Just did a test order and Asmus has free shipping.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD
All this bond stuff and its totally brutal looking!
I totally second Nats tux... But that's about it, the asmus suits are crap... Don't bother..
The zcwo both suit and head look like a mess...
In my opinion the reigning Craig is medicoms repainted but it can and should be outdone... A lot of Craig's out there, endless ones but a lot of duds.

Well, we'll have to hope it will be, that Medicom sculpt is hard to find. Somebody somewhere will......

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD
You guys are really confusing me. Now I don't know what to do to have a solid Craig Bond.
Ray -- you have to dip into your Lisbeth custom thread.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD
Are there better shots of the ZCWO Bond sculpt? Is that the best one out so far? I got the Asmus suit and I want to do a lil Skyfall Bond display

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD
^^that's Snyderman's Sculpt though. I thought the one that comes with the ZCWO body was done by Iminime

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD
The person above me ask what Skyfall heads were available. I pointed out this one because I thought it was well done.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD
Ahh I see. Cosmos' first question was asking if there were better shots of the ZCWO sculpt so I misunderstood your post. My bad
Snyderman does some great work and his sculpts are truly much better in hand though I haven't bought his Daniel Craig sculpt

Asmus is definitely overseas (I'm in the US). Australia I believe is correct but could be somewhere in Asia (I can't remember). I have order from them a few times. Really easy to deal with and shipping is free although it did take a little while to arrive.
