Well I accidentally spotted these the other day whilst searching for a figure to use for a conversion. I noticed a new section called Geezers Royale on the store so being intrigued had a look. I instantly just had to have them all with my love of bond movies, books and other spy fi stuff. Ordered on the Saturday of the bank holiday weekend and arrived on the following Wednesday superb speedy service imo. I picked up one of each of the characters as well as a cool looking MJ-12 agent from the preview section and according to the owner (on a Lead Adventure forum thread) there will be some more commando types coming soon. As mentioned arrived very promptly postage was £1.50 bargain! Nice clean castings with just the usual bit of preparation to get them ready for painting. They are perhaps slightly different style sculpting wise to most 28mm minis having slightly bigger heads and being a tiny bit smaller in height but I think they stand up really well with all my other figs.
TNT Thompson is probably the next nearest to being completed but we'll see what happens the next time I pick up the brushes as I have several at a similar level of completion.
There is a set of standalone rules as well which I may have to pick up and have a try with.
But anyway enough waffling I have some Secret agent throttling to do :)

Just so you have an idea when compared with a few other ranges. I am not to fussed at mixing ranges but I know some can get bothered by it.
Crooked, Hasslefree and Killer B
Great work on him...... Jaws?
ReplyDeleteThanks very much mate. Yes indeed he is!
DeleteYes, he's definitely a "Jaws" lookalike. Cool find, Simon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bryan I think he is my favourite version I've seen of him so far.
DeleteI like them though the heads are a bit big.
ReplyDeleteI think with Jaws you can get away with it to some extent. But I'm not fussed.
DeleteGreat find and paint-job Simon. What a cracking model on a top rate Bond baddie/goodie :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteYou say that you have some secret agent throttling to do and yet you're waffling about it? Just do it already; enough monologuing :-) !
ReplyDeleteSorry had a bit of agent lackey stuck in my metal teeth :)
DeleteHe looks great , very nice job, love his stunning face!
ReplyDeleteThanks the face is awesome. The two secret agents minis have ace faces.
DeleteVery nice job, I loved Jaws when I was a kid, pity he was not in more Bond movies
ReplyDeleteThanks very much. There is a great number of henchmen that I like but he is top of my list.
DeleteJust by the heft and pose I had identifies this bond villain. My thought was confirmed when I clicked the pic for a close up.
ReplyDeleteI like this figure a lot and the way he is painted is superb very much in keeping with a true (misguided) Villain.
Excellent job mate.
Thanks very much mate. I really enjoyed painting this guy I think he is one of the most iconic villains.
DeleteGreat work. I am not a huge fan of Killer B's stuff, but your paint job makes this look a lot better than I would expect from the range, so I think that tells me you have done a top-notch job. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL Thanks very much mate. I know what you mean though. These are my first Killer B figures I think I may get a few more
DeleteHola
ReplyDeleteMola el tiburón ,y toda la familia
un saludo
Thanks and Greetings J.D
DeleteJaws was my fav Bond Goon from the flicks. Your's is very nicely done! Do they also sell his blonde girlfriend?
ReplyDeleteThanks very much! No I don't think they do a specific figure but I could probably find one though :)
DeleteLooks great mate.
ReplyDeleteThanks mate.
DeleteHe's no Oddjob, but Jaws is a top tier henchman all the same. Great job, Simon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Finch. Oddjob was another good one I have a spot on model for him though. Jaws has been more elusive.
DeleteNice figure and good painting. I always though jaws was a scary villain when I was younger :). I do like the idea of gaming James bond but not sure when I will ever get the time :(
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris. Yeah I have to agree him and Tee Hee where among the scarier villains I think its the augmentations to the bodies that do it.
