Like I said issue would be to choose a girl to go along with Bond. Some would be no brainers like Vesper with Craig lol.
My issue with a Vesper would be that it would look awkward with Artemisia statue close to it

The only reason I don't like the idea that much is you would end up with the Bond actors in a suit for the most part and a Bond Girl leaning against them. Maybe not in the case of the Octopussy poster image. But for most. And you would miss the Golden Girl in the case of Connery because most would go for Honey. I just want to see the Bond Girl line up.
I didn't choose Vesper because technically she was against the Bond Girl type. Or any of Daniel Craig's girls because few have been on screen for long as stand out Bond Girls. The good ones were gone like minutes after their introduction.

Yeah there aren't many hot circus girl statues that I can think of right now.

I meant them to be separate not like a diorama. More like 12 total statues, separate to the bond. Just saying it would fit the idea of a potential line without going overboard.
I only chose Vesper because she had a huge control over him, but in all honesty I would like a Solange on horseback. Would be expensive but worth it.

Oh if they are separate that would work. But I would still miss out on many girls I would want to see.
And the actress who played Solange is hot. I would take a Sévérine too. But both are blink and you'll miss them characters. A real shame. That is the Bond movie formula yet in Casino Royale and Skyfall Bond didn't end up with a better or equal Bond Girl at the end which is different.

Yeah much agreed. Yeah I see myself looking and rewinding all of her scenes when I watch
Honestly I also liked Gemma's character cause it had a very different look. Boots and trench coat, definitely something that was new to the Bond girl formula.
Yeah I think the issue with having a straight girl line would be that some lack some sort of popularity. Where if they did just the one iconic girl with a bond you'd get completionists to go for it and any just in general fans.

These don't have to be big ES statues though. Whatever ES Whisper has, the variant was only 100. The regular can't be that much more. Of course the license cost is the worrying part considering Gentle Giant's pricing of stuff. I would be happy with ES of 200 to 300 per Bond Girl statue depending on the character. That's enough to sell out and not have statues sitting in the warehouse.
Strawberry Fields is probably the only real throwback Bond Girl in Daniel Craig's films but you had to watch the end credits for her name. It was kind of a cop out and not a clever moment as they most likely thought it would be.

I don't think I'd be interested. The Honey Trap line satisfies my desire for cool looking seductive female statues. Plus I find the HT designs to be far more interesting and creative than any of the Bond girls.

I guess I'd be out of the HT line is cause they cost too much, for me at least.
Id be very selective with a Non line ao I wouldn't mind too much. Especially if they look gorgeous.
