Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Unless I'm mistaken the one in the trenchcoat is BBKill's.

I don't think any one of those is definitive.
 
Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

In search of... the definitive Craig.


Does look like Medi got the closest thus far. Of course good paintwork on almost any sculpt can make a huge difference.
 
I have both and do know what you mean, if someone could shrink ImaresqD1's we'd have a winner.

Someday someone will nail him, depends on how long he stays popular I guess.....

If the sculptor was ok with it, I could probably shrink it. I've switched silicone brands since I last shrank something though, so I need to refigure the proportions. I'm shrinking my Silva sculpt this weekend if I have time, I'll let you know how it goes.
 
Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

You guys are all spot on with what you're saying about all the various DC sculpts.

So far, i've had, 2 repainted TTL gestapo sculpts, 3x massively oversized imaresqd1 sculpts, the roadshow sculpt and most recent the Medicom sculpt. I think thats it :lol The medicom sculpt is by far the best. I was lucky enough to grab 1 of 2 when toy anxiety put them up, raymond ferraro got the other.

iminimes first attempt at DC is amazing, but will sadly never see the light of day.

bbkills is ok for me but when that was released I didnt have the medicom and had had enough of spending money on 'near enough' dc sculpts that I just wouldn't use.

One of my earliest memories of this hobby is susala's DC sculpt. Anybody else remember that? It was shaping up great.

I'm also a huge fan of snydermans sculpt. Id say, The ttl (feng), medicom, iminime 1st attempt, imaresqd1, bbkill and snydermans are all good, the rest are garbage. What is that one zcwo are releasing, really!? I believe thats an imineme sculpt. He looks like an ewok!

Aside: Has anyone had any luck yet finding 1/6 martini glasses? I have plenty of wine glasses, but I've never seen any traditional-looking martini.

Just recently I found a 1/6 drink shaker in grey/silver-colored plastic, but I'm really still after a martini glass for one of my displays. I can handle making the olive and toothpick. ;)

The drink shakers should still be available on eBay if anyone wants me to find the link.
 
Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

I really love what Ray was able to accomplish with the Medi...

That is bbkill's.
 
Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

IMO, BB's looks far superior in every way to Medicom's given these last two images, even though both have far too exaggerated wrinkles and frown lines. I'm also not sure why that Medi repaint has a big green blotch over the nose.

I think Ray said that was a mistake that didn't show until he took a picture. He's since corrected that.



Anyway, we're going to be stuck with "interpretive sculpts" because the Bond folks aren't going to merchandize Bond. So pick your poison.
 
Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Ooops. I got that out of a picture group of Ray's Medi bash, but I guess I got the wrong one. Thanks for the correction.

It was next to this one, but I see the difference now:

This was a nice repaint but from this angle this looks nothing like Craig. My issues with the Medicom head is it's too narrow from side to side around the hat line. They may have pinched the sculpt because it was made for Cowboys and Aliens and needed to be able to wear the hat. Just not enough volume in the top of his head. As stated the bbkill one is too elongated from top to bottom. It would be nice if someone who had a majority of the heads could line them up together. Looks like Menlojames has most of them.
 
Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

That's also not the best angle for that head... As Wor gar kindly pointed out I messed up his nose and when I took the picture we all saw that the blend was noticed and had more green in it but I fixed it right away and posted a picture of the fix. I'll try and dig it up it also shows the head in the best light
 
Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Hot toys needs to quit Fing around and just release a DC head on a TT release. Ala Jake G. Send a big screw you to the Bond people. They need the money. Don't know why they are being stupid about it.

Hmm, I don't think that'll happen, I have a feeling that ImaresqD1 disappeared after this sculpt went wrong.

Susala is on DeviantArt and has done several more Craig sculpts since then, this being one of them:

Convincing her to come back and cast them for us could be a big ask though.

Not going to happen, less so now that is pretty much what ZCWO have done. HT are big guys and won't copy smallfry.
 
Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

When you actually look at Daniel Craig, it's no wonder that sculptors can't fully capture him:

I could go on with more pics, but, you get the idea!

i think that's one of her earlier ones mate. Ive seen this one before, years ago. If you read the description it says she found it again after she thought it was lost. The one I'm talking about was different to this one, ill try to dig it up.

He looks different every time you see him, doesn't he. The difference from casino Royale to Skyfall is unbelievable.
 
Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

My Amazing Andy Bergholtz Les Walker painted Daniel Craig head. Rare Stubble beard Version. Best CU pic I could take.

What about the sculpts that Andy Bergholtz did?... I've still got mine (unfinished Craig). Here's pjam's.
