I'll just be happy to get a new Lazenby, for some reason, I don't like the current one.
 
I'm not that big on the Dalton movies, but I'm really digging him in the Licence to Kill wedding suit. Thought for sure I'd be passing on Legacy Dalton, but I might just have to get this one.
 
This better be a quick prototype, because Sideshow unfortunately got a few things wrong:

Umm... I love Sideshow and all... BUT... this figure is bordering on Pamela Vorhees bad.. and that's saying something. I mean, the disregard everyone's wishes for the leather jacket version. Then they FUBAR the actual suit design (which they will probably get around by saying, "its a compilation of different outfits for the legacy collection"). And, I can't quit put my finger on it.. but that head looks wrong. Sigh, after scoring a touchdown with Connery, and 2 field goals with Brosnan and Moore, this is a fumble.. heck, fumble for a touchback... :confused:

P.S. Can anyone tell I am ready for football season :D
 
Even if it's not an exact match, I still think it looks great. I do hope they do something about that glossy paintjob though.
 
Yikes, Doc! You're right.

I hope some changes are made because I think he'd look super spiffy if he was a-lookin' closer to that pic you posted. Whether Sideshow's team changes/fixes this will determine if I get this or not. I'd really like to complete the set, ya know?

EDIT: You're right about the slicked back hair, Obs.
 
I think I have figured out what is throwing this off for me - is he wearing a white tie (yeah sounds silly, but it looks like some kind of tie on the shirt), or no tie at all? If they added the tie from the pic, I could live without the flower. But the lack fo the tie is just lazy.
 
I like using the wedding outfit, I think its a really nice choice. I don't mind the pants being the wrong color, because without the picture pointing out the difference I wouldn't have noticed, but the tie I hit on right away and it sucks that it is absent. I really really hope they put one on him it just looks weird without it.

The other thing I wish they would have done is the top hat...didn't he have a top hat? I know they can't make one that would fit on his head due to the sculpted hair, and I wouldn't have him wear it anyways so it doesn't matter...but I really wish he had one to hold. Maybe I can paint honest abe's...

BTW what's up with the interchangeable hands again?
 
Sorry about the crappy MS Paint job (I don't have a good photoshop program), but here is a rough idea of how this figure SHOULD look like:

NOTE: The vest should be a more blue color, not gray.

Better. I sort of like this figure, but without the tie...???

The sculpt seems off to me also. He looks a lot like the bad guy from "The Untouchables" -- Billy Drago.

I'm pretty sure the sculpt is the same as the other LTK sculpt, which is good IMO.
 
Whether I purchase this figure comes down to the tie... add one, and I can live without the striped pants and wrong colors. Without it, this figure takes forever to sell (and I bet they use it as an excuse to say, no one wants a Dalton Bond). In all honesty, as the figure is pictured, I would rather hunt down a tux version. As photoshopped... well, I would buy that figure (tailored, not photoshopped of course LOL).
 
I think it's a cool outfit even with the "inaccuracies" and if the head is too shiny for you every decent sized store om the planet sells dullcoat paint.
I just thank god that I have more figures in my favorite line.
 
I don't think the heads will turn out shiny, I bet Sideshow is just using the old figures for their pics. They seem to have moved beyond the shiny face syndrome lately.
 
My order is placed. I only hope that the Legacy collection will include villians. There are still so many figures to make.

Goldfinger
Grant
Largo
Klemp
Drax
Blofeld variations etc...

And also let's not forget the Bond girls, "M", Moneypenny, J.W. Pepper, Felix Leiter variations, The list is endless!

I'd like to be able to say the same thing, but I know that the completist is me will never allow it. These Legacy Bonds will be all or none for me and the odd of me getting none are, well between slim and none...

Why would Sideshow make an excuse about a figure not selling, they've not made excuses about any other Bond figures.

Maybe you're right. Anyway, for me, this line will all depend on getting that Lazenby in a kilt. Don't ask me why.
Well...we all have our fetishes... ;)
