Re: Big Chief Studios Acquires James Bond License
Unfortunately DiD only has to get the Roger Moore estate to approve the sculpt. Danjaq has to approve everything "Bond." So BCS goes to Danjaq and MGM who then have to go to the Moore estate for approval. Whereas DiD goes to the Moore estate directly. And the Moore estate gets a bigger royalty - perhaps they are dragging their feet on approving the BCS portrait?
Just conjecture.

As long as one or both nail the sculpt, A quality Moore sculpt is needed.

I'm less concerned with this pending Moore debacle... and more concerned with the lack of update on the current Goldfinger Bond set... it was supposed to be released end of October which we are fast approaching... but things are strangely quiet.

Re: Big Chief Studios Acquires James Bond License
If here will be any interest for alternative sculpt of Moore, one russian artist would like to make.No right place here to write about, but it's same like about DID, I believe.But anyway I'll go with BC version either.

Re: Big Chief Studios Acquires James Bond License
Yeah, I'm still optimistic for end of year, Christmas... but you're likely correct.
Still, an update would be much appreciated. Communication is always best when money is collected...

Yeah I got the Goldfinger on PO. I must have about a dozen figs on PO. So I lose track half the time.

Re: Big Chief Studios Acquires James Bond License
Not strange at all if you are familiar with Big Chief. Don't expect to be kept updated and in the loop. Do expect release dates to slip, and slip, and slip, and slip again, and don't expect to be told when they do. Do expect them to drop with little notice when they finally are on their way. And then pray to the toy gods that this is one of Big Chief's releases that has decent paint apps.
It's a big license for them, and so that may change matters, particularly on the first set of releases, but personally based on previous experience I wouldn't expect these before February next year myself, at best. We'll see, I guess.

They have opportunity here to change. Hopefully they won't squander it. There is no growth without change.

Re: Big Chief Studios Acquires James Bond License
BCS just posted this on their Facebook page:
Hopefully, they are shown sometime this month, but it is hard to say what BCS considers to be very soon.
I'm also curious whether DiD's announcement had something to do with Big Chief Studios wanting to preview their figures.

Re: Big Chief Studios Acquires James Bond License
I would wager on it. They are probably pushing hard with Danjaq to get the OK to show their goods quickly given the news.
This is one of the reasons competition is good, right?

Damn that's not very good. What's with the oriental looking eyes?
Big Chief have a clear run because the DiD is awful:

Re: Big Chief Studios Acquires James Bond License
The holster is soooo bad...not even accurate in ANY way....well so is the gun finish, should be "silver" not black. The headsculpt is from Roger Moore stunt double.

I had high hopes Did could pull it off, their Pierce Brosnan was pretty good, but that needs more work.
