Hi! I am new member here; I joined the site just over a week ago and have been amazed at the creativity and wonderful figures! Since I was a kid I was trying to customize my figures (I think the first one was a MOTU Skeletor that -to me- looked nothing like the image that was advertised in the box), but I have never really fully immersed into it. I do kit bashing from time-to-time, as I try not to mess up to much with cracking figures open, etc. (that is for the pros). However, I have been inspired by some of your work, and I am trying to learn more of the art.
I think one line that has gotten little love over the years is James Bond. Sure, there have been a couple of figures (Premium, corgi, Action Man, etc) out there, but I think Hasbro has been missing the ball here: James Bond, the ultimate spy, would play SO well in the G.I. Joe universe... maybe as part as the International Collection? There could be so many iterations of the character (James Bond in Jamaica, James Bond in Suit, James Bond in tux), figures based on the different actors (Connery, Craig, Moore, Dalton and Lazenby), and villains and Bond Girls. I mean if we have 16+ versions of Luke Skywalker, why can't we get a decent Bond?
So, I decided to resolve that, and for some time I have worked on creating/making G.I. Joe Bond figures. I posted some of my figures in the database (the recipes and full galleries are there), but would like to get your thoughts, feedback, and possibly some recommendations for improvements.
Thanks for looking!
- Indy

File comment: The second if James Bond (Daniel Craig) from SPECTRE. (The neck in this figure is too long, so if anyone has any recommendations on how to shorten it, I'd love to hear)
