James Bond Merchandise that was considered....

The Bond Experience

This whole week on our Instagram we are posting exclusive pictures from James Shutt who has been kind enough to share these with us. Due to his design career in Film Promotional merchandise design he had the immense pleasure of spending a year working on the promo merchandise for Bond 24 (as it was at that time). He was working very closely with the marketing team at EON in London to produce a range of official product that were supplied to all the major brand partners for competitions and giveaways. Many of these items represent pieces that never were made but were considered.....more to come!

BTW, because it's YOU gents on AJB I am sharing a bunch of pictures at once rather than piece-mealing them out....please keep them on this site for now....danka!

Immensely cool.
I especially liked the Skyfall deer and laser pen. Would've probably bought both if they were made.
By the way, in the 007 bag, those are all places Bond has visited I presume.

Awesome post David! That window shade is really cool! Love that! {[]

Love the SF deer statue and tote bag with every place Bond has visited on it.

The window shade is fabulous. I probably would have bought the stag book ends...although actually would have preferred them without Skyfall on the base, funnily enough.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the DB5 key-ring was released, wasn't it?

Thanks for sharing! I would have bought the shade if they made it. It would have looked great in my dinky Toyota. )

Also love the book ends though I think it would have been awesome if they had made a set with the stag as one end and the house as the other.

Cheverian

Those are great. I definitely would have gone for those Skyfall bookends.

This is a great post. Thank you for sharing this.
Yes, the DB5 keyring was released.

I would have bought that Skyfall bookend in a second

JTM

Not sure how but I think a run of Skyfall bookends should definitely be something we make happen! They're fantastic -{

MFisher

Agreed on the book ends and desk accessory... Those would have been awesome...

superado

Thanks for the pics, Mantis! Are these for sale? Where can we get the GF laser pen?

The Bond Experience

No. They were just concept pieces. But James and I are discussing having a small run of the SKYFALL bookends done.

GlennGervot

awesome David! thank so much for your effort. count me in on those if you manage tp do it.

MFisher

Definitely interested in book ends... advise if that is a go

The Skyfall deer statue is an amazing piece, shame it was never made. Also the Goldfinger Laser pen is a really neat idea, I would bought one in a heartbeat if they had been made.

Westward_Drift

The bookends would be amazing.

That would be cool

Definitely up for the book ends. Why they didn’t do this I will never know. If a company wanted to make money on Bond merchandise surely they would employ someone from here

welshboy78

I guess umbrellas, pens and notebooks are more interesting

I love the sunshield -{

Thing is, it would just have been a stag on a box, then, with no emphatic Bond connection; a much tougher sell.

Trouble is, I don't think production stags would have looked much like that and if they had, they wouldn't have been cheap. So we would have had people complaining either they looked wrong or were too expensive.

I feel, in the end, the marketing team make the right decision in not pursuing these: the volumes wouldn't have warranted production.
