Big Chief Studios James Bond Series

[master anakin skywalker]

Bond is an instant buy for me! That is like the quintessential bond look. I’m excited. I wonder when and if this will go up for preorder on sideshow.

Figure of Connery looks square and clumsy...I'm afraid it's same awful body as before...

Bond doesn’t look great in my opinion but the Laurel and Hardy ones look on point.

I am really excited for the Laurel and Hardy figures. But I am disappointed that, yet again, no third doctor preview.

Very excited for Dr. No. Ironically, he's a bit broad shouldered for Wiseman but still... incredible sculpt.

Like they did with Goldfinger, one thing BCS consistently gets right is the relative heights on their Bond figures.

Laurel and Hardy are must haves for me... Dream come true!

Bond is probably the weakest figure in that shot. No, L and H, Ming, all looks great. If they can up their quality from Goldfinger they might just survive. Wish they could get their prices down!

Damn Bond looks to have the same weak body
as before. If this is the best it is going to get
from the Prototype, Bond fans could be in for
another round of disappointment.

I wonder what happened to the Live And Let Die line? Going on 7 months beyond its scheduled release.

I look at Dr No and forget that not only has it not been officially previewed, but it also hasn't gone up for its year-long (at least) PO window. I fear a Q1 2021 delivery date.

This is pretty much my view. Bond looks dodgy, IMO comparable to the old Sideshow stuff. Dr No looks phenomenal.

At the prices they charge for what has so far shown itself to be sub-par product, this line and BCS as a whole are ready for the bin.

Hell, as much as I look forward to it, I won't bat an eye at the Dalton figure if it's 200 odd quid and has dodgy everything. That's if it even arrives, these waits are unacceptable.

The time it's taken is unforgivable.

I’ll forgive them if the figures don’t suck in the end.

If they finally learn their lesson, and will move forward with everything else in a timely manner, I say let them have this one. And I understand that they ran into problems with the factories etc., but those are their problems, they should’ve had contingencies in place.

That’s why Q gives Bond a watch that’s bezel can turn into a rotating saw, because who knows what the ____ your gonna run into out there.

I think they need a slap on the hand....physically. Then they will learn the lesson, only with discipline.

Then we have to explain to these people why we spanked them and tell them that it’s because we love them.

Then good figures will be made people.

I’m sorry..lol I had to. Reading everyone’s comments really makes it sound like you guys are parents discussing your children. Lol

I'm sure BCS is not too happy with the delay themselves. The current estimated release (Sept 2019) is nearly a year past when it was originally scheduled to be released (Nov 2018), and that delay has to cost them a pretty penny.

I do hope there is a noticeable improvement with the new factory.

I also hope Dr. No is a much tighter schedule.

I expect this, rather than hope for it. With the amount of time and money it's taken, it'd be unbelievable if things haven't changed and it'd mean grim things.

These figures NEED to be good, now. For everybody's sake.
