Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Im not saying its not good.... I did buy it, but I know there will be a better version somewhere down the road...
 
Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Hopefully not too much further, Bond was supposed to be among my final projects. If it takes too long, other things will lure me and I told myself at the start of the year that I'd give up 1/6.

Bond and Indy (oh and Carlito) are putting paid to that!
 
Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

The Asmus suit is excellent though..... real buttons, thin and drapes very well. Even a Omega watch! And at the sub $30 price its a winner!
 
Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Nathan just painted up a bbkill head.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

He makes that look good! I might use that as a template for mine.

Your kidding right? It's a nice paintjob but nothing in that sculpt suggest Danile Craig. The digital file looked very promising but the actual printout just totally misses the mark. I can't understand how the sculptor didn't realize how far off this was from the piece he had created digitally.
 
Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Actually, almost everything in the sculpt "suggests" Daniel Craig. And that's the problem with it, the features are only hints, not a facsimile. It's a very loose interpretation, bordering on caricature, but not so exaggerated like some other sculpts we've seen.

Agreed. It's one of the better ones I've seen. I think Adam's current WIP looks promising. Wish it was mass produced :slap
 
Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

I think the better certain sculptors have got at doing heads, the more spoilt by them we've become. Had BBKill's been done when Casino Royale came out it would have been hailed as the best ever.

We expect way too much and get too let down when those overly high expectations aren't met. I think we should be thankful that any sculpts have been done at all.

Rational post. :lecture

Really, some of you guys need to enjoy your toys more.

Times have changed. Figures from 2006 didn't cost nearly as much as they do today. For that increase in price, I demand an increase in quality of both sculpt and paint. That sculpt does look pretty good with Nathan's paintwork. But it still looks like a caricature and would not display well with the rest of my collection of figures. Daniel Craig has weird features. People have either tried to glorify him and lose the likeness or exaggerate those features and make him look like a monkey.

Personally, my favorites so far are inimine's unreleased sculpt, Adam's private commission WIP, and that one on eBay. I'd add BBKill's to the list with that picture. I like it better than Medicom's. That ZCWO head does look different. For the better actually. I'd like to see more pics!

To be fair, he looks like a monkey! No offense meant to monkeys...:lol
 
Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Out of ones we can actually own, I still rate the BBKill one. The as yet unseen new Iminime one could deliver, but, we have to bear in mind that it's a different sculptor. Brother may yet revise theirs from the prototype so until in hand images emerge that still can't be ruled out, as far as generally released figures go that one is the most complete.

Whatever, if nothing else good surfaces then we will have to settle for something or we may never be satisfied.......
 
Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Speaking of the brother productions figure... Wonder when we'll see it - I've had a pair on pre-order since January.

I'm not settling on anything I don't think is worth the money. In this hobby, I've come to learn that one "definitive" version is never the real definitive version and a better version is always bound to be released. With DC, much like Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill, it appears very hard to sculpt a great version of him. The best so far to me are those that have not been released to the public. I'll wait for one to be made as great as those that is a mass produced custom.

I have seen the BBKill one elsewhere and it does nothing for me. It's all about the paint job I guess. Because it actually looks appealing there.
