Marine Boy
Super Freak
Roger had so many distinctive looks during his tenure as Bond, so i can envision multiple versions of him on my shelf. Parted out heads will be like gold dust, so hopefully a third party will assist here.
Here is my comprehensive review on this figure
If you want the short answer WAIT a few weeks to a month. See if toy anxiety parts out stuff. The whole set is NOT worth it.
I’d get the head, holster, PPK because theirs are always the best and the turtleneck. The rest is bad.
The head sculpt:
I won’t argue with anyone here that it’s a fantastic likeness of Roger Moore. For the record I like the Big Chief one at least from the prototype but this one represents the Spy who loved me a bit better I think. Moore looked like he aged 10 years each film. He looks like a damn different man each time and especially in LALD which makes this head hard to use for that look.
It looks like Rocco sculpted this and I think it’s his best he’s grown a lot as a sculptor but the thing you need to know here, contrary to what someone said back there this is NOT in no way close to Hot Toys quality. As wirh all Rocco sculpts his pores are a bit big and it lacks a bit of refineness, not terrible at all. The paint lacks too, a bit sloppy eyelashes big black nostrils, a bit of shine and orange tone and it's just not up to hot toys quality. It’s unmistakably DID. It’s not terrible and a repaint could help it a bit I think.
The outfits:
The turtleneck is the best I’ve seen, fitted well and thin in material, but the suit is one of the worst I’ve seen, clunky and awkward. This goes for the pants too. DID is not known for their suits and for good reason. It will stay in the box or be sold off if anyone is silly enough to buy this that is. The tie is fine I guess and the shoes are standard DID. So, nice.
The body is standard DID, so bad... ands are terrible, but his chest padding makes the turtleneck look great. You are going to want to port that over if you upgrade the body.
The accessories;
Pretty bare here, the standard very nice metal Walther ( best on the market) is included and a nice metal revolver that’s unfortunately useless because it’s the wrong color. The holster is good but slightly inaccurate in design and this is something I can’t see big Chief beating in quality but theirs already looks to be more accurate . Other than a really lame huge base with a pixilated DID logo and some luchador or something on it that’s all you get here.
As a whole the figure looks awkward, a new body and pants alone will do wonders for the LALD look and make it able to be proudly displayed.
I think big Chief will beat this and that says a lot for me, I’m not to impressed with this figure.
The overall head I’d say is a 7/10. It could be an 8.5/10 wirh better paint.
The rest gets high marks for some accessories and very low marks for body and suit.
All in all I’d give this figure a 5/10
Try and nab that head loose if you can it’s not quite worth 200 bucks when there not a lot here you won’t be able to live without.
