Big chief have the rights to James Bond. Amazing news!

Check out the awesome announcement by visiting their website: www.bigchiefstudios.co.uk

It's about time the 1:6 community saw official James Bond figures and I for one couldn't be happier!
 
Re: Big Chief studios - James Bond Collector figures

crazy news.. I hope for leaps and bounds of improvment from this company to do justice to the license though.
 
Re: Big Chief studios - James Bond Collector figures

First three figures are Connery, Goldfinger, and Oddjob from Goldfinger.
 
Re: Big Chief studios - James Bond Collector figures

That's huge, despite my love/hate relationship with Big Chief.

I'd be very tempted to buy each era's Bond, but Big Chief are too costly for me to personally see myself going past that. I just hope they finally get their paint apps to a solidly reliable place.
 
Re: Big Chief studios - James Bond Collector figures

The time it takes them to release figures is going to hurt this license. Why not do a Craig first?
 
Re: Big Chief studios - James Bond Collector figures

Goldfinger isn't one of my favourite Bond films (same with the villain and henchman), despite it's iconic status, so I might skip the first three figures. There will be a bit of cherry picking going on.
 
Re: Big Chief studios - James Bond Collector figures

It'll take about 4 years to get the first three figures in the line if you go by BC's release history.
 
Re: Big Chief studios - James Bond Collector figures

I have very big interess about this!

Re: Big Chief studios - James Bond Collector figures

Craig should have definitely been first
 
Re: Big Chief studios - James Bond Collector figures

Agreed. They should have made an official Craig to put all the customs to shame.

Though a new 64 Connery is positively shocking.
 
Re: Big Chief studios - James Bond Collector figures

At the earliest they could get Craig out is in 5 years. The new Bond actor will be firmly planted in the role by then so they shouldn't even bother.

Re: Big Chief studios - James Bond Collector figures

I wonder what changed Barbara's mind?It was Big Chief who told us a couple of years ago now that we wouldn't see any more Bond figures.I really should be more excited about this,can't work out why I'm not...
 
Re: Big Chief studios - James Bond Collector figures

I doubt EON Productions is going to accept a once a year single figure release schedule. I suspect BC will make the releases pretty much the way Sideshow did when they had the license. Two or three theme related figures at a time in a reasonably timely manner.
Looking forward to seeing these first figures. I hope they're of the quality were hoping for. BC figures seem a little spotty to me and this would be a good time to step up their game to the level we see from Hot Toys and some of the other better producers. The Bond license is a very big deal.

How would you expect them to do that?

Shipping from China doesn't count, it should be when people have the figure in their hands and able to enjoy them.

Sideshow over a year for most 1:6 releases.
