    Anyone making James Bond action figures?

    I know Sideshow made Bond action figures a few years back...

    Anyone doing it now....

    Or have announced that they will be selling them soon-ish?

    Sideshow had a licencing deal with Anjaq Productions, but only until the Brosnan era.
    No deal has been made for Daniel Craig, and the production company that is making Bond movies is now in dire straits financially.

    Your best shot at a Daniel Craig was the Loading Toys one. Great sculpt from an Asian company. It had a production run of about 250, and sold out in a day.

      A few years back there was a company that showcased a proposed line of 7 inch figures. They had a Daniel Craig sculpt and cut outs of a lot of others including LeChiffre, Vesper, Connery era and Moore era figures. There was even talk of a 5 inch line, too, but sadly this never happened.

      I'm grateful the wheels are in motion for Bond film 23 to begin. I really did not like Brosnan and absolutely love Daniel Craig. I hope Sam Mendes really does a great job. Sometimes the extra time results in a great Bond film (Casino Royale, Goldeneye).

      Zica or EMCE please pick up the line!

        Yea Daniel Graig could tie Timothy Dalton in the best bonds

        Here are my 3:

        1.Roger Moore
        2.Sean Connery (I was too young to see his films)
        3.Dalton/Craig

        Pierce was awful....

          Die Another Day STILL makes me furious. I didn't think I could despise a film more than Batman and Robin but I guess you can never say never...

            Corgi still owns the rights currently for Bond figures. They , as mentioned above, gotthe rights to all the films and planned to release them as part of their new Popco toy brand. Popco didnt last more than a year unfortunately, with Golden compass being perhaps their only released toy line?

            Anyways, Corgi still holds the rights, and I hear through very reliable sources that a Bond line of collectible figures is still planned as a future project. Not sure if they will be the ones shown at the UK toy fair a couple years ago, or something new?

              I had a lot of the vintage Corgis from the late 1970's and early 1980's. I still have the Aston Martin and Stromberg helicopter and picked up the Moonraker shuttle and Drax helicopter last year.

              I also have most of their reissues and really love how they added and improved the line. I remember trying in vain to remove the 007 logo off the Lotus Esprit and how great it is to finally have one that doesn't have one. I really love Corgi Bond (and their Batmobiles, too) and really hope they can revisit the line.

                I'm trying to figure out why Mattel doesn't do these. They've got the Barbie Bond Girls,why not James Bond to go with them?

                  they'll probably do a ken doll in a tuxedo.

                    I have most of the Sideshows, but unfortunately they never made some really great villains, like Goldfinger, Rosa Klebb or Blofeld/Donald Pleasence.
