Got one. He looks even better in the extra pictures, and the clothing looks well-tailored, as it should for this secret agent. I only hope the production piece looks this good.

He looks very good, not a Bond collector, but I really do like this figure!

Is the head just a rehash?

Is the head just a rehash?Both Connery and Brosnan are both rehashes, but the sculpts are perfect so I don't blame them.

Collector Freak

07-06-2006, 09:13 PM

Yeah. Awesome sculpts on both.

Dr.Mirakle32

I always thought that Brosnan looked like a Mexican, or a Middle Easterner. it's a great sculpt, but he isn't that tan in real life.

07-06-2006, 09:30 PM

Got my order in. The poker chip sounds kinda cool(I assume its full size) I wonder if it will be a accesory with all of them. Very excited about the Brosnan too, now will we be getting a kilted Lazenby preview next week?

Pre-orderd the Connery - I've already got a Tux Connery - but the more the merrier!

I'll get the Brosnan Bond as well - I've noticed the suits that sideshow produce now are far superior to the old ones (compare the suit on Skinner vs the suit on say Mulder - or the Tux on Brosnan vs the Tux on Connery).

I'm pretty much up for any new Bond, Buffy, X-Files or Highlander figures Sideshow cares to produce.

Yeah, the suit customizing is getting more sophisticated, gotta stay up to scale with the market, the Connery tux and shirt look very nicely tailored as Wor-Gar stated and this is a good opportunity for SSC to do these clothes right.

screamingmetal

07-06-2006, 10:13 PM

I placed my order for Connery, and I will most definitely place an order for the new Brosnan next week. And a Lazenby in a kilt will be a must buy as well.
Imho, nobody does figures in suits better then Sideshow.
Now where's my damn 1/6 scale jetpack Sideshow? :tap

Giant Chicken

07-06-2006, 10:17 PM

I really like these but I think I am going to pass and stick with the PF versions. Hopefully we will get a Craig, Lazenby, and Dalton PF in the next couple years.

Where are you guys seeing pics of Brosnan?

Check this week's newsletter in the Bond section. It's right under the Connery "For Sale" announcement.

Brosnan looks OK. Hopefully, the final product won't have a Vaseline-caked shiny face.

I think I'll pass on it though in favor of the older GoldenEye version. Cheaper, still a great looking head sculpt, and my favorite Bond outfit (don't know why...just is...).

Pics of it in different poses and reviews are hard to come by for it though. Can anyone post some comments and pics of it?? I'd really appreciate it!! :)

07-07-2006, 06:44 AM

Imagine the suit if the did Dracula today....

I picked up Connery even though he will definitely go under the brush and I'll be looking for a good way to do the carnation. I'm exscited at the prospect of painting up a Connery sculpt. Should be really cool when it's done!

Brosnan was a nice surprise. Hopefully there'll be a few more announcement in the next couple of weeks. I'd love Craig be shown next week.

Hey, just when are these supposed to ship? I just checked my order status, and my pre-order for the White Tux CONNERY BOND says "Shipping Soon, Call To Cancel" ?!!! Are these in-hand and ready to ship? :confused:

Agent0028

07-07-2006, 06:13 PM

Whoa, that's weird, I don't think they're supposed to ship until Q4, but personally I'd be thrilled if the actually were going to ship now!

warlock664

07-07-2006, 07:12 PM

Yeah, I just looked at the product page, and it definitely says 4th Quarter, so I'm mystified by the "Shipping Soon" notice next to my order. Probably just a glitch. In order to see it, I click on the "cancel orders" menu, and on the next screen, the message is displayed next to my order details. Weird!

I don't have room on my shelves for the Bond figures, but I did order this:

They chose some pretty perfect shots for each movie's space on the board. I can't wait to see what the pieces look like...

(Although I can't remember the last time I actually had enough time to actually play an entire game of Monopoly all the way through to the end.)

And from the same place, this is coming for my kids:

That's a really good idea, but I really want my Rick Blaine in trench coat and hat. I've got one right now, looks absolutely nothing like Bogey, but he sits on my shelf waiting for a better replacement.

I would love Sideshow to make an entire set of 12" Warner Bros. Gangsters.
Just imagine: James Cagney as Tom Powers, Edward G. Robinson as Cesare Enrico Bandello, Humphrey Bogart as Duke Mantee, Humphrey Bogart as Sam Spade (w/ trenchcoat and hat) and Humphrey Bogart as Rick Blaine (in white dinner jacket)

Is that the Dr. No head? I wonder if some discreetly sculpted bushy eyebrows and sideburns (and ear hair) could turn him into:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/images/38499000/jpg/_38499319_150bondplenty.jpg
It's the Goldfinger head.

I wish sideshow had done this figure and called it DAF, so I could keep my display as is with the Bond in front with the box's movie poster cover behind him. Of course it would have required a new sculpt...exclusive? Removable hair piece of course.

Moore was just getting too old to play Bond at that point. Moonraker jumped the shark for Moore's Bond films IMO. Loved Live and Let Die, Man with the Golden Gun, and Spy Who Love Me though!

The only movie where his age really showed to me was AVTAK, but that movie was so awful it wouldn't have mattered how young he was.

Agent0028

07-19-2006, 07:57 PM

He seemed a bit stiff to me in Octopusssy. (He he, censor that machine!) I doubt I'll pose him with this gun, I think I'm going to pose the Legacy editions in less action poses, but we'll see.

AVTAK was the worst ever. The Golden Gate Bridge battle had such potential, but it just fell flat on its face. Although, Walken looked quite humorous with his Billy Idol hairdo!! :D

As much as Roger Moore is my favorite Bond, I am happy with my LALD one (It is also my favorite Bond film.) Which headsculpt did they use? Is it the MWTGG one? I think the LALD one looks better.

One a different note, I wonder if they will resculpt Dalton's hair for the Legacy series.

Killbeggar

07-20-2006, 05:15 PM

For the record every Bond film is an inceredible piece of filmaking unsurpassed by any other feeble movie efforts. Some are just more incredible than others. :D
I sincerely hope that SS is using the Legacy collection to test the waters for further "regular" releases.
After preordering Roger Moore today I noticed that the pictures have two guns not mentioned in the description:

The Legacy Collection Roger Moore as James Bond Figure includes:
Authentic Roger Moore portrait
Fully articulated body with 30+ points of articulation
Expertly tailored fabric costume
Accessories include:
Poker Chip w/ Roger Moore print
Martini Glass
Walther PPK
Vodka Bottle
Interchangeable hands
Watch
12" figure display stand featuring the 007 logo printHmm nothing about the .44 or the Golden gun and the Walther PPK that is mentioned is not shown in the pictures. I am soooo confused :confused:

Agent0028

07-20-2006, 05:20 PM

The interchangeable hands seem odd too. My guess is that for some reason or other the gun is attached to the hand. Which doesn't make sense, but its all I got. I hope he comes with the Golden Gun.

Morgan the Raider

08-04-2006, 09:31 AM

Well, we're getting Dalton soon. It looks decent from the preview, but nothing special. I'm starting to get a bit down on this kitbash series. I'm on the cusp of canceling my orders. It just might be pre-buyer-remorse striking. We shall see.

Agent0028

08-04-2006, 09:38 AM

I like all the others, they're all more or less new outfits and outfits that will be nice to have Bond in. However Dalton did seem a bit disappointing, it looked like he was wearing a tux sans tie. But that's one difficult thing about him IMO because he only had two movies it doesn't seem like he had as many outfits as the other fellas. I guess it doesn't fit in with the whole Legacy ideal, but I think it mighta been better if Dalton were wearing a field outfit. I'm sure I'll wind up getting him though...the completist in me demands it.

BTW Did his face look really shiny to anyone?

Sith Lord 0498

08-04-2006, 10:42 AM

BTW Did his face look really shiny to anyone?

No less than Brosnan's face in his preview. :)

As for the kit-bashing that is the Legacy Collection, I think SSC is capitalizing on the renewed interest in Bond due to Daniel Craig and Casino Royale. Look at when they're being released: 4th quarter (same time as the movie).

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.

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

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.

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.

007

08-04-2006, 04:41 PM

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. :rolleyes:

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

08-04-2006, 07:37 PM

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.

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. :rolleyes:

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!!!

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.

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.

This better be a quick prototype, because Sideshow unfortunately got a few things wrong:
http://www.oho.fi/images/filmiopas/titles/15/15503.jpg
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b94/ryanjeri/7733_press02-001.jpg

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

TheObsoleteMan

08-10-2006, 08:59 PM

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.

08-10-2006, 09:01 PM

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.

DouglasMcc

08-10-2006, 09:05 PM

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.

Agent0028

08-10-2006, 10:57 PM

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?

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

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b94/ryanjeri/7733_press02-001.jpg

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.

Maybe you're right. Anyway, for me, this line will all depend on getting that Lazenby in a kilt. Don't ask me why.

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).

That looks awful. Hate that outfit. I'd be better off buying the older version. First one of the reissues I'm passing on.

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...

[QUOTE=DouglasMcc]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).

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

Well...we all have our fetishes... ;)
