The Store Rooms Spy Seven(Bond rip off thing) thread.

[CelticPredator]

I need the pics, any pics, but not those from OSW, new pics. I want to see what i'll have to work with. So yeah....post 'em up!

 

[6joker9]

another recast? u doing a repaint?

 

[**16k**]

Well, you know Celtic P, I didn't post pics of mine because I don't think there needs be. What you see on store-rooms is pretty much what you get. My only complaint is around the eyes, the area looks a bit clearer as if he'd had goggles when they painted him, but it's nothing obvious and easily fixed. The rest is great with the exception of the case which open in two halves thet won't hold together, but it looks great closed. As for the accessories, they are very detailed. Honnestly, it's worth the price!
As for the issue on the lengh of the neck, well, it's obvious the head (vinyl) was made for the body it comes with, but with the collar and tie, you don't see it.
Once again, check the pics on Store-Rooms, and there's nothing else to say!

Hey 16K, did yours came with the extra well groomed head? Strange that I'm the only one who keeps on posting pics of it. lol

 

[**16k**]

No Dragonsleeper. I only had the normal head. I ordered very early and there may be a later version with a second head. That might also explain why some have QC issues with the fig. Perhaps there were several run of the figure. For exemple, on mine, the outfit is made with a better fabric and a better tailoring than shown on the reference pics.

 

[dragonsleeper]

Yeah, that's probably it. my trenchie is missing a button on one sleeve..the extra head is cool though.

Mine was well worth the $30 I paid for it. Some issues as mentioned previously but there is enough to work with that it is worth the money. My only real complaint is that my head needs a serious repaint. He looks more than weathered he looks like a coalminer. Way too dark on the paint. But any other nits can be worked around. I ordered early, too, and only got one head.

Well, the reason I ask is this....(the only pics I found.....)

And people said his face is all...grimy. Paid 60 bucks for the thing....you know?

 

[thainer]

Mine is dark. I don't know if they all are. From the pictures I have seen mine is the darkest one around. It is not horrible it is just that the head doesn't match the neck very well and doesn't compare to the Loading Toys one very well. But I have seen pics of the Loading Toys one where the wash is a little dark making him look dirty so maybe I am just being a little fussy. The rest of the gear is top notch though.

 

[**16k**]

Well, mine is pretty much like the one you posted. You can even see what I meant when I said he'd been wearing goggles! That picture could be mine, neither darker nor better!

But to be fair, it's good figure (both versions) but not a very accurate Craig sculpt. The nose is off! Once again, nothing compares with that one IMHO:

 

[CelticPredator]

I think thats the worst.....IMO.

It looks like Craig....after he got hit by a car. Very ugly. But thats just my opinion.

I would not buy anything from Storerooms. Their products are crappy knockoffs, not to mention twice I have bought from them on ebay, they have used "bait-and-switch" tactics on me- I bid on one thing, and was sent a similar item. They play stupid by email as long as they can, so you end up taking too long waiting for them to fix it, and you can't do a paypal dispute. Beware these guys like the plague.

 

[CelticPredator]

Too late now....but I think they'll pull through. I mean, that head isnt THAT bad. And the loading toys one was all sold out, and much more expensive. (60 for the stuff, and another 40 for the body...)

But you get what you pay for with loading toys.. Incredible sculpt imo..

 

[CelticPredator]

I'm sure. But its still a ton of money for a head, and a body.....and I cant even find him anymore anyway.

 

[trebor]

I got one from Storerooms and I didn't like it. The head was too dark and looked small. Some of the accessories were good, but I decided to go with this one instead.

Sorry for the crap phone pics. Thanks to Rory selling me this awesome Andy B. sculpt( I think Rory wrote that it was painted by Darkartist).

It is on a truetype body with a Saturday Toys suit. I still haven't finished with him, but you get the idea.

 

[DarkArtist81]

Very nice Trebor!! Nice to see the head I repainted in a pristine collection like that! Awesome shots.

It is a work of art DA! You nailed the paint.

 

[CelticPredator]

Ugh....is there anyone out there with some Spy Seven pictures? Thats what I need, and thats why I made the thread. Sorry to sound ^^^^^y, but I really only care about the Spy Seven, and nothing else. Eh....

that's because you idealize Craig. I've compared it to pics and really think it is the best! It's not the sculptor's fault if Craig is ugly as sin!
