MUFF TOYS Top Agent (James Bond) Action Figure Review 

Haha, I agree. I think anyone who still says that soft goods don't look good in this scale stopped paying attention to them years ago, because they're incredible now.

Thanks so much, Rod! I actually had a bit that I can’t recall if I trimmed out of the video while editing, where I mention that his hair was a little longer/spikier in Casino Royale, haha. I’m tempted to give this new one the same hair treatment, because that would really elevate the realism, but I don’t want to risk messing it up as I’ve just got the one 😅 Thank you as always for your thoughts and kind words, my friend 🙌🏼

I doubt with your talent and ability that you would mess it up but as you say, having the one figure and making a mistake would be soul destroying. I think the hair on the new figure more or less matches his hair style in the later films he did. Whether it really matters is another thing but the perfectionist in me would like the authenticity and realism as you say. I’m sure you are the same about perfection in all you do. Look forward to seeing more of your projects this year mate and as always you continue to do well in your professional life also. Rod 👍

Thank you!

I’m SO excited for that Clark Kent figure.

Thank you, Travis!

Thanks! Here's a link to the base Mafex figure. You might be able to find it cheaper on ebay or something, though: amzn.to/3QpW7Vl The head is from Eleven Studios-- it's long sold out but you might be able to find it used on ebay as well. Good luck!

Very solid figure I see, as expected from Muff Toys. I was surprised by how much your 007 holds up next to it, would still say with that headsculpt that it looks better than Muff! Looking forward to the Kryptonite Seeker the most for this year.

Thank you very much, my friend! It's always a tough choice when you make a custom and then a really good version is released, haha. I think you'll be very happy with yours!

You've written and drawn James Bond comics? Can I ask which ones? Do you mean the Dynamite series or some of the older ones?

@@natwolf687 Of course! Yep, for Dynamite. I wrote/drew an oversized one-shot called JAMES BOND: SOLSTICE (collected in James Bond: Case Files) that I'm extremely proud of, and I drew and co-wrote vol.2 of JAMES BOND ORIGIN, as well as doing covers for all 12 issues of it.

@@Ibrahim_M Wicked, I'll check those out. I read Warren Ellis' run and really enjoyed it. I also picked up the first two issues of Ennis' new run too.

I haven't tried removing it, but it should be-- they always are. This one attaches at the base of the neck, so a replacement head would need a neck to go with it, but they can be 2 separate parts unlike this one which is one piece). There are Brosnan sculpts on eBay from Chinese sellers, but they often come unpainted. As of now, nobody makes one like this Craig version, I'm afraid.

Thank you so much, Carlos! I replaced my custom in the display with the Muff version and honestly I miss it in there 😂 I may switch it back after a bit, haha. Yessir, I’m going to upload part 1 of the van in the next day or two! Thanks for your support, my friend!

@@Ibrahim_M I have the Bell on so will be watching as soon as it comes up!! Best regards my friend!!

@@carlosrodrigueznava4076 That means a lot to me, sir! It should be ringing fairly soon ;)

I bet you could- that’s a great idea!

Thanks very much! So, the figure and the Nota body are 1/12 scale as far as the western sizing conventions go; they’re the same size as a mezco one:12. But true 1/12 scale is more in line with the DID figure, or SH Figuarts, and other import 1/12 figures. I would say that Mezco and muff figures are probably technically 1/11 scale, since they average about 6.4 inches tall.

I’m sure someone will make one at some point soon. I really live Dalton as a bond and am hoping to make my own custom at some point in the near future.

Hey Paul! Great to hear from you, man! It's definitely been a bit longer than I'd like, but this Turtle Van is a TON of work, haha. I was glad that this came in to give me an excuse to get a video up. And thank you-- I always debate putting up reviews of new figures because there are always several by the time I get a figure in hand, lol. But it's fun to share my perspectives on them, which are sometimes unique. In this case, there was NO way I wasn't going to review a Bond figure, haha. I'm glad you got one! And you make a great point about the ankles; so many figures fall over because of loose ankle joints. Not the case with this guy. Are there magnets in the heels like I was anticipating? That Gandalf looks phenomenal, and I want to get it purely for the artistry of the figure, but LOTR isn't as much of a sweet spot for me, so I'm looking at this as one that I should abstain from simply to keep room for the things I'm a bigger fan of. My wife loves LOTR, though, so maybe I'll need to get it for her, haha. Happy New Year, my friend!

@Ibrahim_M Yes,there are magnets in the heels,either that or metal & the base is magnetic?!,but it is a nice base which elevates the figure more!,that sculpt...the initial photo just showed his jawline & nose blew me away!,you basically had that in part of your review,& yes,you must get Gandalf for your wife! 😉😆

@@paulmaynard1384 Thanks for the info, Paul!

Yeah, exactly. Someone pointed out that you could use another tiny magnet to cinch the waist, which is a good idea, but I think in a lot of poses it won't even be noticeable. I thought about swapping the jacket from my custom, but I love the lapels on this Muff version too much, haha. I think you'll be happy with it-- last I checked they still said "In Stock". Enjoy!

I got it about 6-7 years ago on eBay-- unfortunately I've never seen another one and I don't know the brand because the battery cover is missing on the bottom and that's where it would say what it is. I wish some company would just start making these things already, lol.

Nice! You liking it?

My man!

Tagged you in a couple of answers on here! (Not sure if the tag worked so you may have to scroll)

Hmm, it's hard for me to say without seeing/feeling it myself, but you can use some of this sticky tack putty on the peg and in the socket and it will hold it in place well. This is commonly used with action figures and is removable. Good luck!: www.google.com/search?q=sticky+tack&oq=sticky+tac&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0i433i512j0i512l8.5644j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#vhid=vt%3D16/prds%3Dcatalogid:10388651562728421241,gpcid:11724988189433572702,headlineOfferDocid:-6387586409263840296,imageDocid:11854341217870321729,localAnnotatedOfferId:1,mid:576462324096804599,mno:3,pvo:3,pvt:hg,query:c3RpY2t5IHRhY2s,rds:UENfMTE3MjQ5ODgxODk0MzM1NzI3MDJ8UFJPRF9QQ18xMTcyNDk4ODE4OTQzMzU3MjcwMg/vs%3D0&vssid=uvpv-713

I’m pretty sure. I’m super familiar with all of the blank bodies available in this scale, and the Nota body is the only one with those shoulder joints. It has the same fluidity+level of resistance to the articulation, too. But even if it’s not (only way I see it being something else is if they made their own body) I think a Nota body would work perfectly as a replacement if you need it to at some point. Hope you’re loving the figure!

@@Ibrahim_M thank you for the info, and yes I’m really loving this figure it looks soo good, especially the head sculpt! I would be sad if it breaks but there are always replacements. This is my first muff toys product and I’m looking forward to their Kryptonite Seeker (Knightmare Batman). Hopefully it releases soon.

@@one12perspective Yeah, that figure looks awesome. I already have the Mezco version, and I made a rule for myself not to double-dip on multiple versions of the same figure (except if the one I have is a custom that I made, then it doesn't count, haha)

No worries! It’s an rc car but there’s no branding on it- I think it’s supposed to be on the battery cover, which was gone from this one, as I found it used on eBay about 7 years ago. Sadly I've never seen another one. The doors do not open.

@DENSUTUBE2008 Answer above!

No worries, I think I actually forgot to mention it because I’ve talked about it in a few other videos 😂 It’s an rc car but there’s no branding on it- I think it’s supposed to be on the battery cover, which was gone from this one, as I found it used on eBay about 7 years ago.
