James Bond Jack the Bulldog Model - Goldfinger Edition - By Royal Doulton

Meet Jack's golden cousin. Royal Doulton reimagines the iconic 007 Jack the Bulldog with this special new Goldfinger Edition. Based on their iconic 1940s dog, the new iteration is crafted from porcelain and high lustre gold paint and make the perfect desk companion to the two previous 007 editions. He is a must-have for collectors. Backstory. The grumpy faced dog made his first appearance on M’s desk in Skyfall (2012). He went on to survive the resulting office explosion, with little more than a few cracks to his face and some charring to his draped Union Jack flag before reappearing in her new underground office. After M’s tragic death he was passed to 007 by Moneypenny in a memorable London rooftop scene that also revealed M’s real name for the first time. The black box containing Jack is seen to bear a small label "From the Estate of Olivia Mansfield, Bequeathed to James Bond". Jack went to live another day on 007’s coffee table in Spectre (2015) and appears in Bond's lockup in No Time To Die. Details. Crafted from high-quality porcelain, Jack features a Royal Doulton x James Bond back stamp and new reference number 'DD 007 G'. Presented in a James Bond x Royal Doulton gift box with tent card and certificate. Dimensions. W 8.7cm/3.42in, H 9.7cm/3.81in, D 15.7cm/6.18in, Weight 240g The makers. Founded in London in 1815, Royal Doulton first began making British bulldog models during the First World War. Jack’s Union Jack-clad ancestors appeared in 1941, symbolising the steely British spirit in the darkest hours of wartime. He was modelled by the company’s art director Charles Noke and was joined by bulldogs inspired by Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and others featuring the flags and hats of the Army, Royal Navy and RAF.
