Anyone for Bond Girl Statues?

I thought about putting this in the Sideshow or General area. But I think only Gentle Giant right now is up to making Bond Girl statues. I will admit that the potential pricing gives me some concern. But I don't trust Sideshow with how they start and stop or delay lines. For all I know Sideshow could start with a Jinx statue and decide after not enough interest that we don't get a Honey Ryder statue...Gentle Giant could be like this too but I haven't seen it with anything I'm really interested in yet. That Leia on Speederbike wasn't perfect so I'm letting that slide for now.

Anyway, I went through the girls by memory then checked the wiki.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_girls

I surprised myself that I would be interested in more Bond Girls than I originally thought. I wonder if the book versions would be easier to do? They would allow more creative freedom but might be a difficult sell as people are used to actresses portraying the characters. My list:


Honey Ryder - From her classic bikini scene. *

Pussy Galore - Pilot version. They have some freedom to come up with something not seen in movie. Maybe have her wearing the Flying Circus uniform.

Jill Masterson - They need to figure out how to make the golden girl iconic as a statue and not have her be dead. *

Domino - I assume Whisper's inspiration. I love her swimsuit later in Thunderball too. In some ways I could pass on her since I'm getting Whisper. But I would still like to see an attempt. I would take a Kim Basinger version from Never Say Never Again. Perhaps that's where Whisper's blonde variant came from. *

Fiona Volpe - The best bad girl of the Bond series. I need to have something cool of her. So many options for the SPECTRE assassin. On that motorcycle. Or with some weapons. *

Paula Caplan - Martine Beswick was in a lot of horror and other B type movies that I haven't seen. I think those movies would make better statues but I had to add her to the list just because she's hot.

Aki - I love her character in the movie. I couldn't believe what happened either. They could do a cool racing version of her since she's always speeding around Tokyo. *

Kissy Suzuki - Need an Asian bikini spy girl statue. *

Teresa di Vicenzo - Can't resist a ski girl statue. *

Anya Amasova - Russian spy girl. So many options for her. Egyptian dress or wearing her uniform with her hair down. A definite favorite. *

Naomi - Caroline Munro is similar to Martine Beswick in that she's been in other movies that might make better statues. But she's crazy hot in The Spy Who Loved Me.

Holly Goodhead - Need an Astronaut girl. *

Melina Havelock - Crossbow girl out for revenge. Her intro with the crossbow is the perfect inspiration for a statue. *

Pam Bouvier - They could do something cool with her whole South American pilot cover. Besides I always thought that Carey Lowell was underrated in how pretty she is. *

Natalya Simonova - They might be able to do something with her as a computer geek girl. Although I didn't think Izabella Scorupco looked as pretty in Goldeneye as she does in other movies. But maybe they did that on purpose since she was just a computer tech.

Elektra King - They have to attempt a Sophie Marceau statue. Perhaps sculpt something with her pose that reveals she has a bad side. *

* = Characters I really want.

It'd be cool but I'd pass. Too many others I prefer to collect but I'm sure there are some who would. I'd like to see a better Connery Bond. Didn't care much for the first PF.

Likeness statues are tough to do... Also, assuming the price of each of these are likely going to be in $300-$500 range, these are way low are my priority list.

Sideshow made a Bond PF? I thought they only made Bond figures?

Gentle Giant is getting the likeness on stuff now. I too am concerned about pricing. It seems to vary too much between the Honey Trap, Sucker Punch, and Walking Dead stuff.

Gentle Giant would be expensive, slow to release AND you would (literally) NEVER know the edition size! Massive pass!

I kind of view the Honey Trap statues as tribute to Bond Girls, well the tougher Bond girls that is

I like Christmas Jones but don't need a statue of her. Same goes for Solitaire.

The original scene with Honey Ryder is better and more natural. Halle Berry's scene is too forced with the slow-mo.
