The waxworks are dressed in tuxedos for the exhibit, which
will show in London for six weeks before embarking on a tour of
Madame Tussauds museums worldwide in December.
Looking suave, some of the figures stand with their arms folded
holding a gun, while others have a more relaxed pose.
"It's taken about 20 expert sculptors and teams about four
months to put together these six Bonds. It's a huge amount of
investment, a huge amount of time, but really worth it," Edward
Fuller, general manager at Madame Tussauds London, said.
"This is the first time that anybody can get up and stand close
and get personal with every single one of their favorite Bonds."
The museum said Connery, who was the first to play the secret
agent in "Dr. No" in 1962, is portrayed as he appeared in "From
Russia With Love".
George Lazenby stands as 007 in his only Bond film "On Her
Majesty's Secret Service". Roger Moore is featured from "The Spy
Who Loved Me".
Timothy Dalton is portrayed as he was in his two Bond films "The
Living Daylights" and "Licence to Kill", while Pierce Brosnan is
represented from "Tomorrow Never Dies".
The figure of Daniel Craig, who stars in the highly-anticipated
"Spectre", is from the last 007 film "Skyfall".
"Spectre", the 24th James Bond film, is set for release in UK
cinemas on Oct. 26 and in the United States on Nov. 6.
