“As the world anticipates the release of the 2020 James Bond film No Time To Die, we’re bringing the excitement and drama of the franchise to life here at Madame Tussauds Orlando,” says James Paulding, general manager. “With video, lighting and an interactive 007 soundtrack, guests will be completely immersed in the world of James Bond.”

Created in collaboration with EON Productions, each figure will feature a classic 007 suit based on the original costumes designed by Oscar® winning costume designer, Lindy Hemming.

All shirts, accessories and ties were designed by Turnbull & Asser. Sean Connery and Roger Moore suits were created by tailor David Mason at Anthony Sinclair; George Lazenby's suit was created by Andrew Major at D Major Bespoke Tailors; Timothy Dalton's suit by Adrian Gwillym at Academy Tailors; Pierce Brosnan suit is by his original tailor Brioni and Daniel Craig's suit designer is Tom Ford. For more details about the suits, read Matt Spaiser's excellent in-depth article on The Suits of James Bond.

The six figures stand together against an impactful floor-to-ceiling video display, theatrical lighting and iconic Bond music from the classic Bond films. While interacting with the figures, guests will hear their favourite 007 theme songs and see a montage of footage from the films.

The six Bonds at Madame Tussauds London in 2015

Madame Tussauds London first revealed the wax figures of all six James Bonds, with five completely new wax 007s joining the existing figure of Daniel Craig, coinciding with the release of SPECTRE, in October 2015. The line-up of appeared in London for six weeks only, before embarking on a tour of Madame Tussauds locations worldwide on December 1, 2015.

The Madame Tussauds team already had access to measurements of Craig, Connery, Moore, Dalton and Brosnan from previous figures featured at the attraction, but needed George Lazenby’s to complete the picture. The star of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service was happy to oblige and gave the artists a sitting in Los Angeles in February 2015.

The figures took a team of twenty artists, four months to complete at a cost of £150,000 each. Hundreds of layers of oil paint were used to build up accurate skin tones and each hair on all of the figures’ heads was inserted individually by hand over a six week period.
