[Toribox] Roger Moore Tuxedo SOLD OUT

[ymba]

I am happy going with all of Ray’s input as if anyone knows all the Bond, Ray is the 1/6 Bond god..

 

[Raymond F.]

I love the suggestion of watch and shoes for this set I can talk to Robbie or Andy. Would all of you be interested?

 

[Wor-Gar]

I'm definitely interested -- as I know either Andy or Robbie can deliver on an insane level -- my only concern is price due to the small nature of the run (15 people).

 

[chilipep66]

Great idea about the accessories! Hopefully one of those dudes would take the project on. Of course I’m in for it hah

 

[chilipep66]

I’ve had a few more interested parties PM me so hopefully we’ll be able to get a run over 20 and keep costs down!

 

[Raymond F.]

This is definitely not a project to sleep on, Roger Moore is essential for any Bond collection and this is the Quintessential Roger Moore James Bond look .

 

[amarcord]

missing the good old times on the custom section of the sideshow freaks a lot, even seems the high days are over.

but enjoying this, nothing but good vibes here

greetings gentlemen!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Too excited about this project to have it fall to the 2nd page.

Want to make sure everyone has had a chance to contribute comments so we can get the notes back to Yunsil ASAP, and hopefully get an estimate on anticipated delivery.


Also, I believe most people here just collect the Bonds, but I'm curious if there's anyone who has other TSWLM figures they plan to pose with Roger? Anyone update their old SS Jaws? Anyone planning a custom companion?

 

[chilipep66]

hey all, got the first response back from yunsil



[modification]
1. button location
-ok I will do.

2. no side pant pockets
-you right. no pocket

3. waist of pant
-yest little high.

4. suit fabric
suit fabric is little like a James bond goldeneye.
If you want to more shinny fabric, I will check it again.

5. unbuttoned
-ok. I will


so it looks like everything is as wed hoped regarding the pants, buttons, and pockets

as for the fabric, anyone who has the goldeneye fabric knows it doesnt really have any sheen to it, so should we look for something a little more shiny?

I've also sent her my DID Moore head for the collar sizing

 

[Wor-Gar]

On #5, does that mean the button will be operable OR permanently unbuttoned? This is for the bottom left (Bond's right) button placement on the jacket, correct?

I'm not bothered by the lack of sheen on the tuxedo... but I will defer with others opinions on that.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Sorry, I know these kind of "one last thing" comments aren't always convenient.

I believe the pants only have one rear pocket on his right side. I discovered this last night upon finding a shot of Bond's rear (when he meets Moneypenny in the temple).

Evidence:

First, here's what the Suits of Bond has written: The flat front trousers do not have side pockets, but they do have a rear pocket on the right (maybe on the left too, it’s hard to tell) and flared legs with plain hems.

Second, I checked my blu ray and it does appear that Bond has a very faint line on his right cheek that could be a pocket. There is no matching line on his left side. Here's some pictures I took off the blu ray just now...

First two pictures show the "notch" of a pocket on his hip line indicated by my red arrow (sorry for picture quality)...

Last picture shows the faint line of the pocket (sorry its hard to see) but clearly no matching line (or pocket) on his left cheek.

Incidentally, these pictures also highlight that "black band" around the top of the pants that was questioned earlier and that matches the leg stripe and lapels.

I would imagine Yunsil will be fine making one less pocket on the pants.


Once again, very sorry for the lateness of this comment, but I didn't think I could find a shot of Bond's butt to confirm until I saw this shot last night (was actually looking for shots of the shoes).

 

[chilipep66]

That’s a good fine dude! I’m sure an easy change to make. The waist band definitley has the darker sheen too. I’ll add that to the revisions

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Incredible work.

 

[amarcord]

a little worried the pocket will look bulky

 

[Raymond F.]

I wonder if she can make It a non functional pocket I do think the blazer will cover most of his ass anyways but its always good to know your Bonds can look tip top with or without his jacket, he actually wore the jacket off a lot in the film and I want that look right too.

Thanks for the feedback on this guys this is going to be an epic piece I can't wait.

 

[Wor-Gar]

If you want to go for the "jacket off" look, then you will need an untied bowtie to hang around his neck.

 

[Wor-Gar]

So have all the notes gone to Yunsil? Site says waiting for host feedback.

With so many Joker projects popping up I'm hoping we can get in before the surge...

 

[Wor-Gar]

Hello....? Anyone here? Have you guys all ditched me?

So, first, my question still stands on whether Yunsil has all the final notes and is moving ahead? I ask again because her site shows our project as "waiting for Host feedback"... .

Also, has anyone reached out to Robbiethepainter or doggiedoc yet to see if they'd be interested in a small run of TSWLM Watch and/or Shoes for our Bond?

 

[chilipep66]

Sorry guys! All feedback was given, and she went ahead and ordered a new slightly shinier material (before even asking me, so she was more than willing) and the did head was shipped to her to insure proper sizing on the collar

 

[Wor-Gar]

Excellent! I hope the new material makes a difference.

Chili, did you or Ray approach Robbie or Doggie on the Bond shoes or watch yet? I'm not certain either would do such a small run, but I got the impression that Ray might ask anyway and I don't want to step on any toes.
