James Bond, the fictional British Secret Service agent created by author Ian Fleming in 1953, is known by the code number "007."

This release features James Bond from "Thunderball" and "Moonraker" as BE@RBRICK 100% & 400% figures.

Bond Escapes Danger with a Jetpack
"Thunderball," the fourth film in the series released in 1965, sees Bond tasked with retrieving NATO nuclear weapons stolen by the SPECTRE organization. Following scant clues, Bond travels to the Bahamas to confront the enemy.
Sean Connery starred as Bond, with French actress Claudine Auger playing the Bond girl.
The film, which introduced underwater action to the series, was a global box office hit, grossing $141.2 million and winning an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects.
A particularly memorable scene for many was Bond's escape from peril using a jetpack. This very jetpack, later famously demonstrated at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics opening ceremony, is recreated on this BE@RBRICK. The figure beautifully captures Bond in his tailored suit, complete with the jetpack secured by a harness, embodying the essence of British gentlemanly style.

Bond Ventures Beyond the Atmosphere in a Spacesuit
"Moonraker," the 11th film in the series released in 1979, sees James Bond pursue a hijacked space shuttle, the "Moonraker," from Venice to Rio, the Amazon, and finally into outer space to thwart a plot to exterminate humanity by a mysterious organization.
Roger Moore starred as Bond, with Texan actress Lois Chiles as the Bond girl. The opening scene, where Bond falls from a plane without a parachute and survives by stealing an enemy's parachute, is considered one of the series' most iconic moments among fans.
Amidst a global science fiction boom, and before the actual space shuttle's maiden flight in April 1981, Bond's adventures unfolded in space. This BE@RBRICK recreates Bond in his spacesuit, complete with printed nameplate and the Union Jack, details sure to delight enthusiasts.
