Just over a week ago the Toy Show was held in New York and James Bond was a big feature of the event. There were several Bond related stalls including one run by Eon Productions and MGM and also another run by Sideshow Toy who have created the 12 inch collectible figure range. In fact, Bond was so present at the event both the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish and the Aston Martin DB5 were present at the event.

Aston Martin DB5


The majority of the Bond related items are a result of the partnership between Eon Production and the Beanstalk Group who have been aiding in the merchandising and licensing. Of interest is the fact that the Eon/MGM stall ran a seven-minute video on Bond, the 40th Anniversary and further licensing opportunities. It is known that more products are on the way, however, it now seems that further product opportunities are being offered to companies. (As a side note, the video presented by Eon/MGM apparently brought back and excitement to Bond that has been missing for sometime, another words, Bond-mania).

The majority of products lines revealed so far have been labelled as children

I so happy Bond had a major presence at the New York Toy Fair. Here's hoping they do the same thing at the San Diego Comic Book Con!

I just took a look at the pictures indepth. What is this item? (Photo attached?)

Coming in 2002. It appears to be a shadow of Bond holding a case of sorts. Is this a Bond 20 toy (Bond's diamond case?) or is it perhaps a figure from TWINE?

Does anyone know which company logo is in the bottom right corner?

The San Diego Comic Book Con? What is that Zencat? And why do you think Bond may be represented there? I gotta get someone on the inside!

The San Diego Comic Con (aka Comic-Con International) is a HUGE annual comic book, sci-fi, and general genre movie convention. If you're a superhero, or a big 2002 movie, you are represented at the Con. Lots of toys too. I know Sideshow always has booth there. Last time I went was in 1999 and I remember Sleepy Hollow had a terrific booth/display and TWINE had...nothing.
