[YUNSIL] James Bond "Skyfall" tuxedo outfit (SHIPPING PAYMENTS DUE)

[<BEASTMASTER>]

Re: [YUNSIL] James Bond &quot;Skyfall&quot; tuxedo outfit set

Believe me guys, I would have released my sculpt a while ago, though there are reasons for not being able to that I cant go into

How about the hundreds of bbkill skyfall sculpts already out there? You'd think folks would jump at the chance to upgrade to a quality version of this tux? The very cool blue tux just didn't cut it for me. The jacket fitting was pretty bad, especially with the small shoulders. Also Katos prototype showed off just how much better this looks with the right material.

For me, that's the problem. Is this project going to scale the suit based on the slightly undersized bbkill sculpt? But then what about the normal sized inigou sculpt?

The other problem for me: I went thru a lot to get that bbkill sculpt and Verycool tux -- which at the time everyone was saying was the best combo. And the slightly undersized Craig sculpt actually serves the very narrow VC tux with the Coulson body very well. I only just built this figure about 6 months ago or so, so an upgrade for me this quickly -- with a new movie on the horizon -- gives me pause.

Though the bbkill still fits the Toys City nicely from what I've seen and the shoulders on that are more wider than the Very Cool, which makes all the difference. Every time I see the very cool it always has this pear-shaped look as a result of weak shoulders. The Toys City is much closer though maybe a tad too wide. The Toys City tux also looks great on a TTM18 as well as a Coulson because it has strong shoulders.

I made a comparison just to show the shoulders. Hope this is ok to use Raymonds and Chilipeps images? Let me know guys. Raymond has pretty much got the best fitting out of that tux. In fact, against the small shoulders the head actually looks too big :huh

Neither of those tuxedos is ideal, but for the price...

I don't see the benefit of the Toys City tux. I have that one on my SS Connery. Looks great. But on Craig, you really need to see the whole figure in hand to see that the bbkill head on the TC tux just looks smallish (legs and feet make it more clear than a picture cut off at the waist but you can get the idea from his hands). I did try my TC tux with the bbkill Craig and just didn't like it quite as much as the VC tux which, while not nearly as sharp and crisp, looks closer -- but you're right, you need to really pull and stretch those shoulders out and iron them to stay. It takes some doing.

Anyway, certainly a custom tux tailor made would be far superior. I do hope that this project moves forward.

Thanks for posting this Beastmaster, here you can see that Mike and I pretty much explored the best options available. And the Toy City option required a ton of reworking and the VC is impossible to find. and neither are perfect. So...

That means this project is ESSENTIAL. Come on guys lets make it happen!

I agree this project needs to happen. I am hoping it will. Ray, I sent you PM's yesterday about the bbkill Bond sculpt I bought from you.

Add one more to the list.
Interested!

I dont see a numbered list yet...?

Re: [YUNSIL] James Bond &quot;Skyfall&quot; tuxedo outfit set

agreed with the other fellas above, even getting those tuxes to the point we did required lots of nips and tucks all over, we need a new proper one!

Re: [YUNSIL] James Bond &quot;Skyfall&quot; tuxedo outfit set

I agree with what's already been said. I think if we can get a sculptor to tackle this project there will be a lot more interest and it will just add to this amazing piece

Bbkill is already working on another Craig sculpt so maybe we can get in contact with him and see when he might be offering his new version

Re: [YUNSIL] James Bond &quot;Skyfall&quot; tuxedo outfit set

Out if interest, does anybody know if the bbkill head is smaller than the hot toys Alfred head? As that's the smallest head I've seen.

I just sent Chu a PM and a link to this thread to see if he has interest in moving his Craig sculpt forward. I think it worked well for him and Yunsil with Connery, so we'll see what happens.

Otherwise Yh Ha's was looking pretty descent. If the face was smoothed out more, less muscle definition, could be promising: https://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/interest-threads/149992-yh-ha-custom-agent-dc.html

Bumping Shortround would we be able to get a price on this? Might encourage for folk to sign up.

 

[Rdeezy]

Re: [YUNSIL] James Bond &amp;quot;Skyfall&amp;quot; tuxedo outfit set

The Skyfall tux will be the usual price most likely $250-300. Most on the list are probably aware of the price point.

I want to jump in, but I'm about to move into a new house and need to focus funds on that for a month or so. If this project isn't finalized or canceled after that, you can count me in. I don't know whether I'm in the minority here, but next to Connery, Craig's my favorite Bond. Really would like this on the shelf. I'll be watching

You ARE in the minority....we all agree here next to Connery, Lazenby is our favorite

Yea, but at least I know where I stand
Guess I just have a soft spot for Craig since Yellow Cake.

Hafta add, I would've liked to have seen Clive Owen take on Bond.
