Sideshow Announce Sean Connery Legacy Edition
30th June 2006
Since 2002, Sideshow
Collectibles have been exclusively licensed to create a line
of 12" collectible figures in the likeness of all five Bond
actors, key villains and some of the famous women.
Following the huge interest surrounding the 12" figures,
Sideshow will be launching a new "Legacy Collection"
series of James Bond models. This collection is meant to highlight
the iconic look of different actors who played the sophisticated
spy through the ages, rather than focusing on 007 from specific
films.
UPDATE: Full
MI6 preview now online.

Connery "Legacy Edition" 12" figure from Sideshow
Collectibles. |

The first figure announced in this new line is a special
Sean Connery 12" model in a trademark white suit, made
famous in the pre-titles sequence of Goldfinger. The model
will be previewed at the "Comic Con 2006" event
in San Diego in July.
This Limited Edition figure bears a stunning likeness to
Sean Connery, who played James Bond six times in the official
series.
Standing at 12" tall, this Connery figure will have
30 points of articulation, and comes equipped with his white
suit and pistol and silencer - with other accessories to
be confirmed.
No ship date or pricing has been announced yet, but previous
12" figures have sold in the $40 to $65 range. The
figure will be available to order from SideshowCollectibles.com
(preview

Official Sideshow Collectible Announcement
We'd like to take this
opportunity to give Bond fans a peek at our next 12-inch figure:
Sean Connery in his classic white tux! This will be the first
in a new line of James Bond figures we call 'The Legacy Collection."
This collection is meant to highlight the iconic look of different
actors who played the sophisticated spy through the ages, rather
than focusing on 007 from specific films.
Comic-Con runs from July 19th to 23rd at the Diego Convention
Center, San Diego, CA, USA.
