Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Interestingly, you've captured the BB sculpt from the good angles. Very nicely done!

Casting flaw aside, that sculpt looks fantastic from all angles.

Now you're yanking my chain. I'll say the sculpt looks better in photos than in-hand, IMO, but look at the profile images. Now go look at a real photograph of Craig in profile. With regards to pinched facial features, believe me, the Inigou sculpt is pinched in the exact same way as BBKill's. In fact it's even more pronounced in the lower jaw because of the pointy chin.
 
Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

I didn't take the pictures at the same time, nor did I crop to try and present them the same size. I'd like to shoot them side by side but I just haven't had the time to do that lately.
 
Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Pixel,

You like one, I like another, end of! We each have our own opinion and note that I'm not constantly trying to change yours, I'm merely expressing my preference.

There's no disputing, however, that Rahmier can really paint and the heads he's done do look good.
 
Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

SERVICE MESSAGE: If you've bought one of the excellent sculpts from BBKill or Inigou, please leave them positive feedback using the board's iTrader system. It's a nice "thank you" IMO and helps others to know they're stand-up sellers.

Happy to do this as soon as mine shows up! (Anyone else from the second run still waiting?)

Thank you Rogerbee! That means alot

I'm not trying to change your opinion, I know you prefer the Inigou. I went to the expense of purchasing both of them and I'll likely end up getting both of them painted as well. I don't care which one people prefer and it doesn't matter which one I prefer, I'm documenting both sculpts to share information with others and making analysis based on studying them in-hand while comparing with (100+) photos of Daniel Craig.

So please don't tell me what I may or may not post. :lecture It's a little childish. If your opinion is solid, you shouldn't be bothered by what anyone else thinks nor impartial discussion. And while you may like one over the other, or neither (again, I don't care), there's no denying the facts as they stand with regards to what I've already pointed out is off with each sculpt. You can look at photos all day (which is why I'm posting so many), but all the nuanced features really have to be appreciated in person. I've tried to capture many angles, but it's still no substitute for holding these guys in our hand.

Accurate 1/6 scale martini:



It needs a tiny bit of mod work, but it'll do very nicely. I have 6 of them. :hess: Anyone else interested in a set of martini glasses?
 
Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Wow!May I ask where you found it?

Mwahahaha. ;) I've known about these for a few months now, but I wanted to wait until I had them in hand and partially modified before posting about them, just in case they were garbage.

So without further delay…

Hallmark 2006 Christmas ornament: Time for a Party!

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Bond takes no olive!

The one thing I think you can't really debate about the two sculpts is that Inigiu is going for a 2006 CASINO ROYALE version. The hair alone seals that one. Nothing wrong with that! I like the idea of film-specific sculpts. But it's been a few years since Craig has looked like he does in the shot below.

Here's a profile shot:

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

These glasses are for my Connery bar dio.

The Hallmark ornament ones are in correct scale, those other ones not so much. I'm also not fond of the bubble-stem on those, plus, for $10 I got 6 glasses shipped. With a free tray and extra olives. The "liquid" in the glass is another cast and can be removed, which then makes it possible to also remove the olive from any glass. Of course there's a bit of delicate surgery involved in getting all the glasses apart and it's very easy to break and ruin one or more in the process.

I also found some photos of really great looking scale glasses made of real glass - but they weren't available anymore. On multiple occasions I've found people with photos of super nice steel shakers in the correct size, but they can never remember where they got them from or who makes them - plus they'd already sold them. Quest continues for that one. In the meantime I've got a slightly small Orcara shaker.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

I can't be bothered debating it anymore, lets just see and appreciate any that come in be they one sculpt or the other.
 
Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Someone's always trying to rope me into SOMETHING. :rotfl I'm sorry if you misunderstood my posts, but I haven't been debating anything. I don't think either BBKill nor Inigou would question our appreciation. Only a handful of people have gone to the trouble of grabbing both sculpts, something I feel says a lot about how much we appreciate the work. If this other so-called "definitive" sculpt ever sees the light of day, I may even pop to appreciate that one.
 
Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

I think we should just appreciate the figures as a whole, regardless of what they've used. The recent crop have had a lot of man hours put into them, what with painting sculpts, dyeing tuxes and suchlike. Everyone that has displayed their finished Craig has a figure they're happy with and the work that's gone into them deserves appreciation.
 
Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

I'll make sure I follow those exact rules when I join the roger board. ;)
