Super cool.

I was hoping the outfit would look more like the movie poster.

But still cool.

Any hope of a second Dalton figure - one with better hair?

I had a feeling that, if they did do a Moonraker figure that they would use the yellow Drax outfit.

Do you know what someone seriously has to do with all of these cool James Bond action figures? They should make a comic collection, like this one I used to read and enjoy in Lee's Toy Review Magazine back in about 2001 or 2002. It's called AESOP, and it's about these secret agents who work for a top secret society and go on operations around the world. I'll post a link here so you can check out the website:

AESOP

Unfortunately, I don't think they're doing any more. The site was last updated in 2002.

But anyway, don't you think that if they did James Bond comics with the new line of action figures in this sort of style, wouldn't it be cool?

One of their best figures so far I think.

Nice extra for the first 500 too. :)

Very cool figures.

I wonder if they'll make it through every Bond film. So far, I'm only getting Bonds. Not any villians or Bond girls. I'd love to get an iconic bad guy like Jaws. Although 21 times 40 bucks equals a lot of money.

This one is going to stand on top of my main Bond case (where the Sideshow Mr. Hyde currently lurks).

I think the jumpsuit could be more yellow but, not bad, though would it kill them to sculpt another head? I may pre-order it.

I too thought the outfit could be more yellow.

I wonder if that was a money issue - getting the right fabric.

It's amazing how good these figures are - as oppposed to say the Star Wars 12inch.

The face looks pretty good.

I wonder if they'll ever do a figure of Moore from "A View To A Kill" and, if so, will they create a new mold to better reflect his age at the time or will they take the existing heads and microwave them for a couple minutes so the plastic melts a bit for the same effect.

If they do that, then they'll have to construct a heavier body for the eventual DAF Connery figure, besides sculpting a fatter head and including as a bonus the "musical toupees".

actually the Big sean connery statue was the daf figure.they are making no 12 inch.so lets think of the possibilities they have left for roger moore.the spy who loved me-roger moore in yellow ski suit with red hat and skis.
For your eyes only-big roger moore statue
Octopussy-army guy roger moore or knife throwing twn suit roger moore

LOL.

I actually want an older Moore figure. I want old Moore in the red shirt from Octopussy, with a P5 and a knief. That to me is "James Bond."

That's a fine idea.

I'd like to see him in the black outfit from the pre-title sequence. Although, I'm sure it can be argued that we don't need another black outfit Bond with Goldfinger and Live and Let Die.

I'd like to see another interview with the folks at marketing. How they select the figure etc. Maybe we can all submit questions?

For another Timmy, I'm holding out for a TLD figure complete with leather jacket, bullet-holed cello case, keyring and an alternate "impatient" head sculpt for the first 500 customers.
