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.

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 link).

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.
