Thanks guys! Been wanting to display these two for a long time.

I do need to replace the shirt and tie, the layers (shirt, vest and jacket) tend to budge up and Connery loses his neck line. But this is also a pre-futzed pic really. No water treatment or anything. Just threw the suit on more or less. So once I get a thinner tie and smaller collared shirt hopefully I can get the suit to lay a litle better. But you get the idea.

Is the Connery on a Sideshow body? I think it would benefit a lot from a change of body, wor-gar!

Definitely agree, but I tried an HT body and unfortunately I needed more height to match Goldfinger so I had to use the Buck. Once I get this guy futzed properly it should work.

Nice Goldfinger.

Put goldfinger on a truetype as well! :lol nah just kiddin'

Great job wor-gar.

As a little note of my own I finished my Daniel Craig Bond yesterday.

It's basically the TTL gestapo figure minus the tie. (And of course the hat and coat)

I got a bow tie off e-bay. It was blue but I coloured it in with some black permanent marker and it worked a treat. Gotta love it when a plan comes together! :D

Never thought of water treating it until you mentioned it wor-gar.

THANKS again for all the kind words.

It's nice to know that even these guys -- characters from the grandfather of franchises -- still has some interest.

Now, James Bond will return with.... LARGO.

Hey mate

No, not really. I think good prices are to be found on e-bay for some of the sideshow bond figures

They certainly aren't as expensive as Hot Toys figures new or 2nd hand.

Try looking on e-bay, I think you may be suprised!

12-22-2009, 04:15 PM

Yeah the core figures pop up from time to time at good prices. The more obscure figures, like Q or Jaws not so much.

Hey Wor-Gar, I have question. The SS Goldfinger Connery head. How did you get it on a True Type? I would think that wouldn't be possible.

Hey Wor-Gar, I have question. The SS Goldfinger Connery head. How did you get it on a True Type? I would think that wouldn't be possible.

I placed the head in hot water and then pulled out the Sideshow neck adaptor. After painting I superglued a Hot Toys neck adaptor to the Bond head. Job done.

Cool Bonds!

Hey Wor-Gar, I have question. The SS Goldfinger Connery head. How did you get it on a True Type? I would think that wouldn't be possible.

I actually didn't put it on a TT, it's on a Buck. But Tyler is correct in how to do it.

I stuck with Buck because of a height issue with the Goldfinger body. But putting a SS head on a TT is fairly easy. You just need the Dragon connector that comes with most TTs and pop the SS sculpt on that and apply.

Hey all... Im new here, and have often admired the Bond line from afar.

Thanks to a very generous present from my wife (A set of all the movies) I've really stepped up a gear in my appreciation of the line....so heres my problem, and Id like to knew what you all think about it.....

Id like to try and pick up a smattering of the SSC figures, perhaps a couple of Bonds and Their respective villains...... But I am on quite a restictive budget at the moment.... am I kidding myself that I will be able to find anything for a reasonable price?

I was in this same position a year ago. I was big into Bond as a teenager but apart from some Corgi vehicles didn't really collect. This was in 1980-81 and there wasn't much to collect. I saw posts of peoples Sideshow Bond collections (Darth Neil) but thought I was too late. I would look at his collection and think that was the coolest thing and why didn't I buy them when i saw them at Suncoast in 2002.

I watched ebay and pulled the trigger on a Connery Goldfinger. It hit me like a train! Next came Jaws and a Dalton Licence to Kill followed by Dr. No and Scaramanga. Then, of course, I HAD to get a Roger Moore. And Blofield. And ????? Galore. Anyway, I just got my 24th Bond figure (TTL Gestapo/Craig) for Christmas.

Be patient and keep watching. The Bonds are among my very favorites and one of these days I'll learn how to use a digital camera and take/post some pictures.

Good luck and happy hunting!:whip

The SS Bonds really have killer likenesses, among their best. Of course realism and obviously paint is not up to todays standards. When Les is done with mine I know I will like them a lot better, in the mean time i keep updating and upgrading their bodies/outfits to get them up to todays standards.

My savings account is a little lighter but it was worth it. I love looking at my shelf and seeing all the Bonds. It brought back a lot of fun memories of waiting for the ABC Sunday night movie--that time before DVD's and VHS--and the anticipation of the gun barrel darting across the screen.

Anyway, I really appreciate all the Bond posts and pictures. Fingers crossed that somebody will pick up the license and we'll get some different 1/6 figures or those 7" figures previewed a couple years back. It sounds like Bond 23 has a director (Sam Mendes) and things should start rolling along toward 2011!:whip

It is believed that they were doing one from Casino Royal and the sculpt was rejected. I don't know if Daniel nixed it or somebody else along the way.

MGM has been notoriously pickey about the Bond likenesses which is great because even in SS's inferior incarnation a few years ago those likenesses and sculpts still hold up today.

I may be scraping the bottom of the barrel with this one, but I just discovered that Barbie -- yes, Barbie -- has been doing a line of Bond Girls. Most are whats to be expected, but I thought the new Solitaire wasn't so bad really. Might be nice to round out the few of us who have Moore and Tee Hee...

They actually did. The first wave was _____ Galore, Honey Ryder and Jinx. 2nd wave is Solitaire and Octopussy. Solitaire is the only one that works, because of the full dress and Jane Seymour's Barbie-like face.

Not sure. Maybe the majority of those who like the new Bond really don't collect the figures.

Also, the last movie had a pitiful villain and the only girl I remember was the sexy red head in her small part. So not much there beyond Bond himself to exploit.

If they could give us a really great villain and a really hot girl to compliment Craig's great Bond, then we'd have a really big Bond movie.

Can somebody please pose pics of the Roger Moore Live and Let Die bond figure. Particularly the headsculpt. I used to own the Man with the "Golden gun version" and I found it pretty boring, but I really love the costume and how young Moore looks in this version. I would love to see if it has the likeness to boot.

Tyler

These are some photo's I took of mine a while ago. I think the likeness is pretty good. Although it is repainted in these photo's which brings out the likeness more than the factory paint.

Seeee there is your mistake. Everything you mention is what Bond is all about.

When I watch a bond movie, I want to suspend any notion of reality and watch a popcorn flick about cool gadgets, ridiculous villains, sick cars, and hot girls... What exactly are you watching for?

The fact that Moore's watch is a Casio does not phase me too much, as long as it shoots poisoned tipped projectiles.

The Barbie Honey Rider has a recent likeness to Ursula Andress. The best body to use is probably the Hot Toys female Cuban True Type. It's more tan and is her physique pretty much to a T.

Please excuse the poor quality and appearance ole RoboCop. I have yet to take any good pics of Honey as she is a WIP.

Finally got a chance to set up my Bond shelf. I am very happy with this display. It was too late to really pickup ALL the old Sideshow bond figures, so I limited myself to 5 of my most favorite.

Basically it came down to character, movie, costume and how well they looked all together. I feel it sort of represents an era of Bond that I relate to the most. I particularly love the gadgets and the quirkiness of the villains. The costuming on these figures were also a little more then the typical black tux, which always struck me as being a little boring. I already have the PF of Connery in a black tux anyways, so I thought I would try on a little color.

Also, I realize that all the new members go Hot Toys crazy when they first get into this, but they owe it to themselves to check out some of the older figures from yester-year. While they may not excel in costume accuracy or perfect movie sculpt, I think they have a lot of charm that is hard to ignore.

PS- The scuba gear Connery is freakin amazing!

That's a great Craig bond Datnhneil! Mine will look like that soon, only it will represent the end of Casino Royale, blue 3 piece suit, re-painted TTL head by Greggo, UMP45 from 21ST century Toys (with curved mag) and a TTL body. Will post pics when he's done.

Also, I realize that all the new members go Hot Toys crazy when they first get into this, but they owe it to themselves to check out some of the older figures from yester-year. While they may not excel in costume accuracy or perfect movie sculpt, I think they have a lot of charm that is hard to ignore.

QFT. :lecture

I also agree with you about that Thunderball Bond; It's always been a personal favorite.

I posted these in my collection thread, but thought it might fit here too.

Well, I've been working on a few customs of late and I thought I'd post some pics.

My Bonds, right now (I have to find a way to get them all back in the display case):

http://www.thecapn.net/images/09.jpg

My Daniel Craig. Nothing new, but man, I love this guy. Best custom I've ever done. Better than most figures I have. Feng is a master!

http://www.thecapn.net/images/02.jpg

Brosnan, from GoldenEye. When I think of Brosnan's Bond, this is how I remember him. He's wearing Sideshow's outfit and head, on a TT Regular. The watch is a repainted Dragon - hate those Sideshow watches. I sculpted the falling hair onto the sculpt's forehead, which is how I remember the younger Brosnan. He had longer hair in GoldenEye, but I haven't decided if I'll do any more. The shirt had buttons added - they were prominently white in the movie, and a brown belt with the shirt tucked in.

http://www.thecapn.net/images/03.jpg

http://www.thecapn.net/images/04.jpg

And what ended up being a pretty big project, Dalton's Bond. My personal favorite Bond actor, since he was the most like the Bond of the books. He's shown here from the movie poster for Licence to Kill. Repainted Sideshow Walther to fit Dalton's lighter weapon, repainted Dragon watch, HT Joker belt, TTL shirt, shoes, and pants, on a HT Narrow. The hair was a big resculpt...the original was slicked back, as if he's in his tux, but I wanted it to appear as it did through most of the move. Shaved off the front of the hair, and resculpted most of it from scratch.

http://www.thecapn.net/images/05.jpg

http://www.thecapn.net/images/06.jpg

I'm considering moving both Brosnan and Dalton to solid sculpt necks, I'm not sure if I'll do it or not yet.

Here's my Moore...not much done here. Sideshow head and gun, TTL 2.0 body, Dragon digital watch, Sideshow Dalton Paints, shirt, and bowtie, with Connery Jacket and TTL Shoes. I figured I should have at least one of these guys in a tux.

http://www.thecapn.net/images/07.jpg

My custom Connery. Keep in mind he's a lot less orange in person, but I was going for a sortof...hand-painted poster look for him. HeroHeads head, TTL body, suit, shoes, repainted Brother Production watch and the original Sideshow Connery gun.

http://www.thecapn.net/images/08.jpg

Now I just need to get my hands on a Lazenby - if anyone wants to part with one let me know!

Platty

06-28-2010, 08:57 AM

Awesome customs capn mate, my favourite being the Craig. I hope the custom i'm putting together will look half as good. I'm using some of the same parts, as you can see in my post at the top of the page.

Repainted TTL head, TTL Blue suit, TTL body, UMP45, sorted!

Could you possibly post more pics of the Craig? Thanks in advance if you do

I'll admit, in pictures, I've never been too impressed by it. But in-hand, it's a perfect representation. I guess you just have to see it in 3D. Not to mention the paint job is impeccable.

EDIT: As an aside, in that second set of pics, he's missing his watch, and I switched the TTL shirt and tie for the Hot Toys DX Joker version. Looks even better now.

I've found some either hate it or love it, i'm the former. I think it's as close as any head out there so far. There are a few good ones though. I'm having mine repainted by greggo, can't wait to see it.

Got pics of the head you mentioned?

Cheers for the pics The Capn, seen them before unfortunately but it's nice to look at that awesome figure again.

Let me answer on the capn's behalf, that suit is from TTL I think

thecapn

06-28-2010, 04:38 PM

Yup, exactly. It's one of the TTL suit sets released last year. Perfect for the character, though I do wish I had a light blue shirt and navy tie for it, like he appeared in Thunderball through most of the movie.

I was wrong, it's actually Loading Toys' Dangerous Man. Like I'm suspecting is the case with the previous figure, some shots aren't flattering here either and while neither are perfect, IMO (and I stress that for sake of argument :lol), I just think this looks better:

Raymond Ferraro

07-02-2010, 09:03 AM

The loading Toys head was for sure the up and running master of Craig liknesses. Then came the Feng head and blew it so far out of the stratousphere it's not even worth a second glance anymore.

The Feng head is pure and simple a 98% accurate representation of a head that's been done a thousand times by others, many of which do not even come close. Nothing tops the Feng head... and the TTL recast is a far cry from the original. Still one of my all time faves and one of the best things i ever bought.

Platty

07-02-2010, 10:06 AM

I agree, the loading toys head is poor, in my opinion. Feng's is the daddy and will remain so for the forseeable.

Ok guys, i'm looking for some help.

I'm looking to update my SS Dr No Connery Bond. I'm quite happy with the sculpt, which i'm also going to have repainted, but with today's quality, I think the suit and the body are a bit lacking.

I haven't read all of this thread, but I was wondering what would you guys recommend as the best body and suit to change to? I want to keep the same style suit as the original though.

I don't do a lot of customising, so any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. :peace

Platty

07-03-2010, 01:07 PM

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c400/frogger420/PICT0029.jpgThat's pretty much the ultimate mate!

The suit is from TTL and the head has been repainted I think.

Thanks mate, can you remind me, what is TTL? :o

And is that a HT body?

TTL is a company mate, just like Hot Toys. They made a grey suit similar to the one seen above.

The one seen above isn't ttl though it's in fact Hot Toys, taken from the superman figure. My bad.

Deckard should be answering, it's his figure! :lol

Anubis

07-03-2010, 01:53 PM

Thanks guys! :rock

Right, I did a quick search and I found the suit. Now should I use a specific HT body? Regular? Slim? Does it matter?

Platty

07-03-2010, 01:55 PM

For which suit mate, the TTL? I'd 100% suggest go with the Hot Toys Narrow shoulder or the actual TTL body. Can't go wrong with either. Standard true type is too big and the slim truetype is too small.

Anubis

07-03-2010, 02:00 PM

No probs man, i've been doing my research on the TTL suits myself. After the blue one. I think it's near enough perfect for my custom which will be the scene in my sig pic. The pinstripes are only noticeable when the light shines on parts of his suit. Can't even see them properly in the blu ray if memory serves.

Well my Daniel Craig Bond collection grows. Thanks to bwayne for the new hs and my order from Toy Anxiety arrived simultaneously (Toms Forrest's coat and pants as well as a few others)... I still have to pad the Buck body and do some futzing but for right now I'm happy with the start of a Casino Royale Craig Bond straight off the plane landing at Nassau, Bahamas (yes the sunglasses, aren't exact-- but they were the best I could find at short notice).

Here's a scene from the film.

I think you have to spend a fair amount of time futzing with those clothes especially the pants... Mr Bond would not be caught dead with such poor tailoring. A good start though

also not sure the aviators are working. look for the glasses that came with brothers production Collateral Tom Cruise or even HT T-800

I actually think that after some water treatment the pants (and suit) will look pretty good. I wasn't sure about the sunglasses either-- but they were the best attempt to match from Toy Anxiety. I'm constantly on the lookout for improvements, but beggars can't be choosers.

Raymond Ferraro

07-06-2010, 01:15 PM

Yup I have no doubt that once ironed or water treated the suit will look a lot better. It's a cool look to try and bash Im interested in seeing how it turns out.

A little more info for you. I would say that 95% of the way that suit looks is just time spent futzing (if that is the right word or even spelling). The rest is a little super glue to hold the shirts collar lappels down against the shirt as they dont like to stay down. I did the same for the jacket lappels. Where they would not stop curling away, or raising away from the jacket they were super glued down. Also I have removed the poppers on the waist coat and used super glue again to hold it closed as I don't like to see poppers.

I didn't use the tie from the TTL suit (too bulky) and I still think I'm going to glue down the lapels-- (and pulling the shirt sleeves through was a pain) but the narrow TT definitely makes him look better... Now I only wish he was taller.

I got the same "Barbie" to bash a Solitaire. I just worried that the dress wouldn't fit a decent 1/6 female body (as Barbie bodies are thinner). Did you have any problems with the fit?

Sean

The dress is way too tight for the Triad body. It fits as you see but its open in back. I figure a Black Widow body may be an even worse fit (though better cleavage). If there's a slimmer shouldered body out there it will work well. Or perhaps a smaller body altogether like an Obitsu or something. Solitaire was pretty tiny anyway.

I figure I'll just tie up the back like a corset with some gold string and try to make it look like that's the style.

The Barbie head needs work too if you use it with the Triad body. Had to widen the hole.

I'd like to see this on the Sarah Connor/Jill/Widow body just to see how it looks.

Great work, she looks fine and the outfit is really impressive and eye catching.

Thanks. I do think the outfit is striking and basically covers up any jointed female body. The head is 'meh' but works for now.

She'll look nice with Tee Hee and Bond (Moore) from Live and Let Die.

Deckard

11-26-2010, 01:23 PM

She definately looks nothing like Jane Seymour as far as the face, but the makeup is painted on nicely and the hair could be alot worse, no frizz. She looks like she'd fit in fine.

I am waiting on my package from Seb and I will finally have my Auric Goldfinger and Thunderball Jimmy finished. :yess:

That "Gestapo" head sculpt is a "dead-on" likeness of Daniel Craig! Where can I get one? I have Spenser's awesome painted Daniel Craig, but this one looks different than Spenser's and I'd like to get it.

Please let me know where to find one online someplace other than eBay. Thanks!

It is a great likeness of Daniel Craig. However the factory paint apps leave a lot to be desired but that's not an issue with all the uber talented painters here.

Echo Base Toys has it in stock for $80.00. The actual description for it is "Toy City/TTL WWII German Secret Police Gestapo".

Hope that helps.

I had gotten Brosnan GoldenEye a couple of years ago but the floppy buck and craggly grey hands meant that he would be relegated to a drawer. I finally got around to switching out the body and it's like getting a whole new figure!

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_e-vNNZsChlA/TTbkjC5bDBI/AAAAAAAABAw/pZmg1lHMF_g/s576/IMG_6464.JPG https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_e-vNNZsChlA/TTbkjnkPFXI/AAAAAAAABA0/vmtc9513Nvg/s576/IMG_6462.JPG

He's on a TTL 2.0 and it's great! The original body was truly horrible, especially the hand sculpts! And the paint job on the hands was so way off from the base body, I couldn't even consider rolling up the sleeves!

Now I've got my one and only proper Bond to represent the franchise. Brosnan and GoldenEye are my favorites, so this is perfect for me.

Reinhardt

01-19-2011, 06:47 AM

Looks great. Only thing you would need to take it to the next level is chop the neck off and put it on a body with sculpted neck.

Mad Old Lu

01-19-2011, 12:15 PM

You're right, Reinhardt. That's a problem with the body--the overly exposed neck joint. It's a shame because otherwise the body's pretty good and a great alternative to a TrueType.

Platty

01-19-2011, 06:26 PM

:lol Actually, no! I was so turned off by the bad body/hands that I pretty much just put him away as soon as he came out of the box!

I looked through this thread to see if anyone else had a pic but he's too small in most of them.

I actually got a pretty good deal on him about 2 years ago for like $20. I figured, what the heck. But geez, those hands! And the loose buck! Like I said, he went straight to the drawer, waiting for a new body.

JediMike71

01-20-2011, 07:28 PM

Here's a few pictures I took a few months ago of my SS Pierce Brosnan James Bond "Goldeneye" figure. Yeah, it's still got that Buck body. But also like Mad Old Jim I got him on the board here for about the same price he did. I got mine loose with most of his gear, along with the great Sean Connery James Bond, and "Miss" (ahem!) Galore from "Goldfinger". All from the same board member here! I'd like to someday get a better Hot Toys Truetype for it...

The picture's a little blurry...sorry.

I'm happy with the Brosnan head sculpt, but I know he would look so much better with a TT body. I'll get one for him someday. I may even get a TT body for my Connery Bond too.

Hey Mad Old Jim, that's a vast improvement. Did you change anything besides the body?

Also is anyone selling thier Goldeneye James Bond? Id be interested.

Mad Old Lu

01-25-2011, 09:45 AM

Hey Roc. Yep, just changed the body. The TTL is really a good, cheap alternative to the TT. I've heard the TTL 3.0 is a little loose, but this one is the TTL 2.0 and it's pretty good. The joints all move very smoothly and almost feel like they would be loose but hold their poses well. The only thing is the gap on the neck joint is pretty big and obvious.

Hey Guys

I can confirm all about the Corgi/PopCo issue: I worked for them and I was one of the lead designers for the action figures not only for Harry Potter, Golden Compass and for James Bond as well. The problem was nothing to do with Daniel Craig at all it was all down to EON. Plus it also turns out that PopCo did not have the action Figure rights in the first place. We were only making prototypes to see if we could get it. But the marketing team got the wrong end of the stick and placed them on the shelves for Toy Fair. I actually still own the James Bond 5inch figure, its sitting right here next to me. As I painted both the First Kill and Le Chiffre prototypes. Shortly after all this Corgi was brought out by Hornby in the UK and Popco and Cards Inc was no more.
I know also work for the design company behind the James Bond Props and one of the things we tried to put forward was 1:6 scale Figures. Let me tell you something there is no way we will ever see 1:6 Bond Figures again, which is so sad :( I know even Hot toys and some other companies have gone to EON and they have simply turned them away and said no. As a huge Bond fan myself I would love to see these in 1:6 again.
I hope this helps, feel free to contact myself if you would like more info.

EON would be very wise to sell the license to Hot Toys. I mean, do they realize the popularity of 1/6 figures today?

I really hate not having a Grant, Goldfinger, Largo, Blofield. I'm really hopeful with Bond 23 someone will get the license. It will be the 50th anniversary, so marketing should be out in force. Roger Moore has already announced his involvement in a book titled Bond on Bond. Toys would seem a natural.

Yeah, the poker scene looks great. Is there anywhere where you've posted that in more detail, another thread?

I just started watching the Bond series for the first time last week, beginning with the first. I hadn't seen any of them before, besides a couple of the recent films.

I've posted a link to my thread-- glad that you've decided to sit back and experience Bond-- with each new actor the character becomes something new, love to hear (at the end) your thoughts on your favourite 007.

Here's my thread (cause I haven't updated it for so long that it would've maybe been hard to find). Enjoy.

Picked up two Brosnan bond cheap ($A50 each) yesterday day cheap. One is going towards a uniformed bash and the other is going on my BMW bike with a Wai Lin . Now I need another Daniel Craig sculpt to throw the Tuxedo on.

Love that BMW bike idea--- Any pictures of the bike? My Wai Lin's got the two guns going like at the end of the movie but I really like you're idea.

LordAzrael

05-04-2011, 05:44 AM

Hey Darth Neil - my Wai Lin has two guns as well ! I picked up a second and a headsculpt from toy anxiety :-)

The bike is a new ray produced - its correct. The only mod required to the bike is to remove the rear view mirrors, which snap off quite easily.

BTW - is this susula ? It was only posted 3 April and notes that they thought they had lost it in a house move and only just found it. Maybe we still might get casts ?

No idea about the Craig hs...

Where did you pick up the bike?.... Available from any specific on-line retailers? I've got an extra Die Another Day tux Brosnan Bond (that right now is just jacketless with gun holster and pouring himself a drink) which I'd love to use for this... Have you been able to find matching (or close to it) clothes from that scene?

I did find this picture from someone's collection when I was doing an image search...

Thanks Greggo,those figures look superb and that was 5 years ago??
Am I right in thinking that the articulation would be added later?

Well let me tell you something! We designed and fully illustrated articulated figures from Casino Royale including Mollaka, Obanno, M, Vespa x2 Bond x4 versions and Le cheffire plus Mr White and plus some henchmen. These were sculpted from our 7 inch limited articulation range, however due to time and the fact we needed to show something at Toy Fair UK they sculpted the 7 inch Range at 5 inch.
The 5 inch range was going to have the same articulation as our Harry Potter figures over 20 points. Its so sad they never made it because I know for a fact Kids and Collectors around the world would love them.

Hmm, not feeling the hair for that suit, thats a pretty specific Dr. No look IMO, and I think he'd look better in a Tux or blue shirt.

BTW guys, I missed my opportunity to grab a MIB Q a few weeks ago. I don't know if anyone else is aware, but Cotswold has a few SSC Bond figures for some damn good prices. Only 1 of each though.

Sideshow Toys Action Figures (http://www.gijoeelite.com/f_display.asp?strDisplayName=SideshowActionFigures )

:wave

I snagged the Q--along with Blofeld and a Legacy Lazenby. :rock

Couldn't pass up those prices--I still need a DAD 007 though.

Glad to see this thread is still kicking. I also pick up new Bond figures here and there.

Take a look at my two newest additions. They arrived this week!

I have a full james bond set coming by a SSF painter who is 2.5 years behind. I've been patient and understanding but starting to get a little worried to be honest.

Anyways I love Bond. Love it. I hate that there is not more lisenced stuff. I really want some sort of replica of the Goldfinger Aston Martin and if one existed in 1/6 it would be the only 1/6 vehicle I could justify.

Many of the SS heads have great likenesses, including the two that Balsquat posted. And even though the likenesses are good they are behind the times and the outfits REALLY are behind the times.

I recently got he Maximus Miniatures Bond head and made my grey suit Godfinger Bond. Deckard says the hair is not right but I think it works, though would prefer the Tux look from Dr No but the SS Tux is not good enough for me.

I hate that there was not more buz for Maximus' sculpt. Once I post my pics Im hoping there will be, I want him to take on Moore and Brosnan next.

Right now all I have are Craig (feng) and Connary (Maximus). Love them, Sean is a dream come true really... but since we will not see more official produt we need to comission some sculpts that do justice to Bond.

I want the full set of Bonds and various outfits for them. I want a few key villains... Goldfinger, Jaws, Oddjob, Blofeld, trevelyan, Dr No. A few key Bond Girls, Honey Ryder, _____ Galore, Xenia Vesper (not iconic I know, but I love her) and Q.

One day I hope this can happen, and if most of my collection has to go one day those will remain. In fact before I got out of control with 1/6 I thought the majority of stuff I'd own would be Bond. and now I have thongs I barely care about like Inception and Underworld and barely any Bond.

To be honest, I don't really need or want to pay for Hot Toys quality anymore.

Allot of these figures came out at $40:horror
At that price point, I could buy a nice little collection of figures with decent likeness, a few unique accessories and a display stand w/color art box.

Now it's all about crazy museum quality tailoring, paints and sculpting. Now figures come with multiple outfits and 3-4 pairs of hands. I just don't care for how 1/6 figures have become so elaborate.

I would rather pay a small amount of $$ for some really cool figures, that may not be perfect, but display well and represent the movies I love. I really don't care for Hot toys to pick up the license, I just wish Sideshow had continued with the line and made a few more figures.
