Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD
Ok, to be fair you're getting a bit of a head start over simply a blank canvas. It's the equivalent of a canvas with a light pencil or dry-brush sketch. Still a far cry from a finished product.
The sculpt is wonderful, but there's an equally long road between the unpainted sculpt and a life-like representation of Craig. To say otherwise is to totally discount the artistry of any amazing painter. A great paint app is as hard to complete as a great sculpt - it's just a different art form.
No matter how it's said, you're only half way there with a perfect sculpt. Anyone who thinks otherwise is fooling themselves - but the proof, as they say, is in the pudding - and there's plenty of that around here in posted images to back it up.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD
I know there was umpteen discussion about this and bickering or whatever but I'll say what I think... I believe the BBKill head came out too small.
It remains to be seen what happens when it is in hand, painted and paired with whatever outfit I end up going with if it.
I'm still majorly excited for it though.

A bit off topic, but I was watching Casino Royale again the other day, and again it struck as a bit unnecessary that Vesper killed herself.
Why did she do it?

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD
I spent the evening opening & setting up a couple of DID MI6 Agent “Jack” figures I purchased recently.
I like many was anticipating this figure since it was announced by DID. There has been much discussion here & elsewhere about the head sculpt likeness to Daniel Craig. In addition, early pictures from China/Hong Kong initially made it appear the quality was flawed before better in hand pictures alleviated concerns many had.
With the figure hitting stateside and now being available from the usual sources, collectors are chiming in with their satisfaction ranging from mixed to positive reviews.
This is my very first DID figure and I am very satisfied with it. I’m not going to bother showing pictures of the box and contents because we’ve already seen them online.
The head sculpt in hand is very good, but it’s not 100% accurate and does not precisely match the pictures DID used in marketing & promoting the figure. It’s close, but still off. In hand, I’d say the likeness to Daniel Craig is about 80% to 90% based on one’s perspective.
The paint application on the head sculpt is superb and I cannot purposely find any fault with the ones I have. I will say that based on pictures posted online by others, this particular head sculpt is hard to capture properly. In hand, the head sculpt is very good, but it does not translate well in pictures based on angles & lighting.
The fit of the tuxedo suit is exceptional. The cut & material is excellent and does not feel cheap in any way.
A highlight of the figure is the Walther PPK pistol. It comes with two clips, a silencer, and the shoulder holster rig. Be very careful with the shoulder holster rig because it has hooks that latches onto the pants so be very careful when undressing the figure (i.e. don’t pull off the pants immediately). The pistol itself upon closer examination appears a bit undersized which appears to be a common observation by some, but overall it’s still done very well.
I broke down a second one so I can dress it using a different suit. I used a TOYS CITY men’s business suit and the fit is perfect. I’m quite impressed with the DID all era body. It’s on par with the HT TTM 22 (slim) body with some differences; moreover, it’s a bit taller.
I plan to open up a few more so I can kit bash them using different outfits & suits.
I’ve seen this figure being offered by the usual sources starting around $100.00 and up. I really recommend this figure to anyone who is a James Bond collector/enthusiast. It’s reasonably priced and definitely a highlight & worthwhile figure in my collection.
That’s it. I hope others will chime in with their comments & reviews as well.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD
The DID figure just has to look better in person, as a lot of figures do, because it looks absolutely terrible (in terms of likeness) in every single photograph ever taken.
Sorry. He still looks like some random anonymous anemic German infantryman dressed in a tux. In photos he's no closer to Craig than any of the other two dozen sculpts before him.

The DiD looks like Craig to me
Sure, it's not perfect because it's too long, but it's still a good likeness.

Agreed. Looks like Craig, but it isn't quite there. On the plus side, it's a beautiful sculpt and very nicely painted.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD
Agree with all the above. In hand, the sculpt is much better than the photo's. Every person who has seen it immediately knows that it is Daniel Craig. So if a novice doesn't hesitate, then it must be pretty close. Mother only thing I need to adjust is the length of the pants, a little too much break near the bottom. The body is great, holds all the poses really well. For what I paid, about $90, this is a must have.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD
That's harsh.
As anyone with a working set of eyes can see who this is supposed to be.
Hes a lot closer than the majority of the sculpts that have came before.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD
IMO though it really misses the mark in major major ways I'd give it a 6.5 out of 10 in likeness in person in photos, definitely a 9 in terms of quality tho.
