Bond enthusiasts have had a long dry spell since the last film, 'No Time to Die' in 2021, leaving them craving new content featuring the iconic spy. That drought has finally ended with the release of '007 First Light', a third-person shooter that has Bond aficionados buzzing. The game, available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, has been met with anticipation comparable to a blockbuster film release, especially with a Switch 2 version to follow later this year. The enthusiasm doesn't stop at the game itself; it extends into the realm of merchandising. Fans in the US and UK have access to a variety of Bond-themed collectibles, though the options vary by region. In the US, aside from official T-shirts and a golden controller, collectors can opt for the Legacy or Collector's Edition of the game, featuring unique items like a golden gun figurine and a life-size mask of the game's antagonist, Damien Webb. Across the pond in the UK, aficionados enjoy a more extensive selection. Besides the same game editions, British fans can explore exclusive merchandise from Orlebar Brown, a menswear brand offering upscale 007-inspired fashion items. These come with a price tag; a luxurious toweling shirt or swim shorts cost as much as several standard Bond-themed tees. Additionally, there's an exquisite Omega Seamaster themed on the game, offering a refined touch of Bond class for those willing to invest. For fans, these merchandise options fuel their passion for all things Bond, proving that even between films, the appeal of 007 is as thrilling as ever.
