Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

My apologies, but I'm going to take a step back now, back to another time, long but not so long ago...

After many years of laying in wait, I finally snagged a reasonable Sideshow Scaramanga -- one of the few key old-school villains I do not have in my ridiculously massive Bond collection.

Did a few tweaks: little repaint, new shoes, new tie, a watch, added pocket flaps on jacket, correct buttons, corrected colors, white socks, and made that damn gun GOLD!




I know it still isn't HT quality, but I do have fun with these bashes.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Nice! Gotta have Scaramanga. I got a set of Bond and Scaramanga loose on eBay a few years back. Great figure. Especially for around 2003. Yours looks much nicer, too.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Thanks, man!

Here's a comparison of the original versus the upgraded. Slight improvement, but every little bit...

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Much, much better!

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Looks fantastic! Did you include his third nipple??

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

That was part of the factory original!

That's the crazy part. Of all the things they missed on this figure, the hidden third nipple is not one of them. Its one of the reasons I really wanted the Sideshow version rather than just bash one from parts.

Much, much better!

Thank you. I'm happy to add him to my villains. Just had to get Christopher Lee. Want to line up Scaramanga, Dooku and Saruman.

Wow, that's hilarious.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Worth $20 just for the third nipple.... sir.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Shame they didn't put the same attention to detail into the rest of the figure really.

Yep, exactly my point. I was surprised by how much the figure is off until I really scoured the blu-ray. Its a pretty simple suit too.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

True, can't think of a better suit offhand either. He may be scale height though as those old Bucks were pretty tall.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Yes, his height is close -- I extended the neck maybe a 1/4 to 1/3 inch to give him his 6'5" height -- but the Sideshow body is long and lanky enough that it works. He really towers over Roger Moore in that movie.

The suit itself isn't horrible -- its a good material to match the screen suit and the perfect shade of golden cream -- its just the incorrect number of buttons and the lack of pocket flaps that makes it look wrong... and its a bit boxy. In fact I may go back and tighten it up a bit.

Scaramanga always looked like a milk man to me in that cream suit.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

LOL!

The EB RM-4 is good for him, I used one for my Dracula.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Can anyone in the know tell me the pros and cons of a narrow shoulder knock off vs a Coulson body for a Bond custom?

 

[Pixelpiper]

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

1/10th the price?

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Also Coulson is shorter and smaller framed. Good for 5'9" type guys like Craig, whereas the narrow is basic 6' height.
