Pre order Bond, James Bond

[Agent0028]

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if we get Lazenby very soon and then everything goes quiet until the movie hits. Then, the first figures will ship out, and we'll get our last pre-order: Daniel Craig.

I agree, except I think it is possible that Craig will be announced prior to the movie. But I guess anything is possible, isn't it? The biggest question I have is will they put Craig in the legacy series or will they do a Casino Royale Craig? Personally I hope it is the latter, and really I don't see how he could be in Legacy given it is his first movie and it might be hard to label one outfit as iconic, but then a straight black tux is rather THE iconic suit for James Bond regardless of the actor I suppose.

Even if I'm way off mark with that, this is still a great way for Sideshow customers who missed out on most of the earlier Bond figures to have a full set of the different actors.

That's what I'm doing!

I had no interest when they first came out but as my collection changed they became a little pricey...

Definitely agree this is a great assortment for newbies, it's just a bit hard on us folks that have every Bond release to date. I want to fill out my collection with the characters that have been missed, which there have been a great many.

It's amazing, because I was very excited when Connery was announced but that has dried up a great deal. Extra odd because I'm chomping at the bit for Casino Royale. When the Daniel Craig finally gets announced my excitement will return. Have to admit, I'm also anxious to see the George Lazenby entry.

I'm just hoping we'll see more new characters once the last two in the Legacy are announced.

I have to say, after the disappoiting Moore and Dalton Legacy figures, I'm slightly less excited about Lazenby.

Sideshow had great opportunities to do interesting things with this line, but those last two have shown that this line is getting minimum effort.

Dalton (for those who haven't seen it yet):

Were they SO lazy, they couldn't even resculpt the hair!? I can't even tell what outfit he's wearing!

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

And then there was one. Lazenby should almost certainly be getting the kilt treatment thanks to the Highlander figures.

Perhaps a preview next week?

I don't know about the US but the only one in a tux thats difficult to pick up here in Australia is Brosnan - provided you are happy to buy the double packs.

 

[warlock664]

Lord, I hope we DON'T get Lazenby in a KILT ! I know it seems everyone else is keen on that outfit, but I'd rather see something a bit more traditional , since the only other release was wearing a ski suit.

 

[carbo-fation]

I think a kilt on Lazenby would be pretty neat!

 

[007]

Yeah, I'm still crossing my fingers for Lazenby in the kilt... cause that make sense, right?

I reiterate, look at the Legacy Collection thus far... we've got a 50/50 chance here, guys.

Plus, and this is something I rarely see mentioned: The kilt is a complicated outfit. I'd be shocked (but pleased) if they actually took the time and cost to do that for what has become the warm-over rehash line.

Actually, I think that the kilt that came with the Bayonettes and Barbwire Black Watch figure is closer to Lazenby's kilt than the Highlander ones. I have it on a Lazenby figure, which is wearing nothing else...so SS, you'd better git us a Lazenby in the whole kilt outfit!!!

For reference, here are all of the Legacy Edition Bonds ready for preorder. I plan to update, everytime a new one is available:

And when they anounce Craig I REALLY hope they decide to dress him in this iconic outfit from CASINO ROYALE:

I don't see any likeness in the Pierce Brosnan one.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

I don't see any likeness in the Pierce Brosnan one.

It's just a bad pic. I have both of the old Brosnan figures, and the likeness is great.

 

[denger4000]

Both like great, however, I'll pass, give me some classic Villains.

 

[Darklord Dave]

The Brosnan is one of the best likenesses they've done in the Bond line.

Since they haven't done Lazenby in a tux, I'm afraid that will be the Legacy version, rather than the kilt.

It's been a long time since I saw OHMSS, so forgive me if this is a stupid question...did Lazenby even wear a tux in that movie?

He wore a tux with a frilly shirt during the casino scenes.

 

[Darklord Dave]

And he wore a tux in the wedding scene.

 

[JGouse0498]

Thanks, guys.

Well, it sounds like the Legacy Edition figure will likely have the tux with frilly shirt. It keeps with the current wardrobe theme but it's unique enough to stand out.
