So you're saying I shouldn't get rid of my Dreamworks clothing set and Kuoworks holster then?

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD
sorry to hear that it was that bad for you. in pictures it looks like i nice set, but that eleven sculpt will always keep me away from anything where its included. Ive always known that sculpt was crap just from looking at pics of it. Ive even tried to warn others about it, but theres only so much a comment can do. Hopefully no one else will waste their money on this set.

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD
yes. That's if yours looks good, of course.
Can I see yours please? Any links to pictures? It may have been the quality kitbash I was talking about in my initial post.

That sucks, Platty. Thanks for the warning and for saving the rest of us.

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD
Thanks Platty... a bummer but I guess for 50 bucks we can expect that right? I got it mostly for the head. The black box ski suit stained his chin so I needed a new head
Agreed that this is not the best head in the world but of the mass market offerings it's the best and ny custom shades look good on it and the only real reason ehy I have a ski suit spectre Craig as ny second Craig is because that black box outfit was ****ing stellar. Come to think of it I think that was fifty too.
Anyways I plan to see if I can cover up the bit of the outfit that touches his ski with black athletic tape to avoid more staining.

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD
Rule of thumb, if it's cheap, and it's black, then it's going to stain. Even the more expensive black clothing from known manufacturers can stain. I have Game of Death suits from Enterbay on 2 bodies that it would stain the heck out of. You have to soak the clothing in water for quite a while to get rid of the excess dye. I haven't taken them off to check, but, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if there still was some staining.
If, like this Bond sweater, the majority of the body will be covered, I'd wrap the body very carefully in clingflim so as to avoid the fabric touching the body. Or you could be like Platty and not bother, which could be a good option anyway.

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD
Ok, definitely glad I checked in here first, because I was seriously tempted to get that new one sixth kit as well. I think I could probably live with the simple looking holster, but if the head is way too big and turtleneck way too tight, then that kind of makes it a dealbreaker unfortunately.
Shame too, because the set looks pretty decent in those pics.

The set does include the head according to posts above and the information on Kit's site.

I don't think it's that bad. Though the holster is cheap. I washed the shirt in case there's any ink on it and put it on the figure wet to prevent tearing as it's tight.

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD
Any chance we could see a head size comparison with another figure? It does look pretty oversized there, but not sure how much of that is just lens distortion...

I think it's the tight shirt that makes the head look large.

That's generally how it comes. I haven't bothered to push it down and futz with it yet.

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD
Mmm, the SSC Indy is a pinhead anyway, so he doesn't help much. The DC head does look really big in other shots I've seen of this set. Maybe it would look better with more layers like a tux or a suit. I don't think it's that good a likeness anyway. The new Blackbox head is the most promising one we've seen.

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD
Just got the set in. The head appears smaller than the original release (doesn't have that puffy look) and has a much better paint application and is not too dark like the first was. The shirt, watch and gun are crap but the rest is workable. Since I only bought it for the head, pants and shoulder holster the rest doesn't matter to me. I wanted those pieces in order to finish a Spectre look with my Modern Life head. I'll kitbash the eleven head with a different look.
