Lost Buttons:
Hello, I got all three Goldfinger (First Edition) figures here in germany in very safe and good conditioned parcels on last Saturday.
For the lost Buttons:
If you bought the "First Edition" Figures, take a look under the following Spare parts and you will find bags with replacement pegs for the hands AND some replacement buttons for the West/Jacket of the indiidual Figure:
Bond: take a look under the small plastic case with the Walther PPK inside
Goldfinger: take a look under the small plastic case with the Gloves +Riding Cap inside
Oddjob: take a look under the small plastic case for his second, steelframed Hat
Ths is JUST a tipp for the "First Edition", NOT the "Limited Edition"- Figures.
Maybe they also have some replacement buttons inside a replacement Peg-bag -don´t know.
All in all, I'm very happy and excited about these fantastic produced characters and their really great head sculpts. I personally see NO problems with "bubble" heads or missproportions. In my "subjective" opinion they are absolutely true to scale and right and ... pick up all the individual actor faces in perfect shape, ... on all three figures.
My characters are also not faultless, because I also have rubbed colour on the Noses of Goldfinger and Bond. In addition, i have the problem on all three figures that their leg joints in the hip area can not be moved. So the figures can´t sit down on a chair or something like this - silly?! But these three Goldie Guys are my first BCS action figures and i do not know if that's normal for BCS characters or a production error. But if I read all the previous threads on issues with the Bond characters here, I´ll be sure to find a fix in cooperation with the BCS guys.
Otherwise I love the beautifully tailored suits and all the lovely designed accessories. And small problems" like the silly folds in Goldfinger's pants can be easily fixed with some inside putted foam.
In my opinion, BCS did a really good job and built me three figures I've been waiting for for more than 20 years. I've been a model builder, collector and fan of movies, fantasy-, spy- and sci-fi merchandising for over 50 years. Over this time, I have seen a whole bunch of "good-intentioned", but in the end badly produced, faulty items for fans and nerds. So you can quickly upset me with mega damn crap that I'll never buy anything from you again.
BCS did not do any of that with this three Bond characters -they satisfied me fully, so that i also assume at this point that I will find a solution for the above mentioned mistakes in my characters with them in a personal dialog.
At moment, I'll take my Hat off to them and thank them for bringing me these crazy dwarwen Bond characters - especially the really awesome, damned bastard Goldfinger, whose face is full of soulless greed for gold. I´m sure the rest will be clarified with the BCS people in the New Year so that they will have some quiet Christmas days. From my subjective point of view, they deserve it.
P.S: really really hope they´ll do also a Thunderball JETPACK-Bond!
P.P.S - and before further questions: No, i´m no Member, Staff/Employee/family guy from BCS!)
