I have a pair of the Polaroid N135s that are in all likelihood the model that was used in Thunderball. Be interesting to compare the dimensions with this release. The N135s are way too wide for my face.
David Mason is a good guy. I wish him all the best with all of his revivals. Those Thunderball sunglasses are definitely calling my name!

Yeah, that's my post, but I don't really add anything that isn't already known. The Polaroid's are likely the originals, but nobody knows for sure. Does anybody know the creators? If somebody knows them, they might be willing to disclose the original model. Otherwise, I was going to try and contact them as well. These look awesome!

Your a lucky man! I would be very interested in comparing those dimensions indeed. Maybe someone on here can provide dimensions when they come in?

More than happy to break out the calipers to compare when someone gets the repros.
We believe Sean Connery was wearing Cari Michelle Cool Rays in Thunderball.
Many thanks,

Sweet! Thanks for looking into that HarryTruman! Looks like they "believe" they are the Polaroid's as well. So, not a verification (something we will probably never get), but good to know what they modeled them after. Great work man!

This makes me 99.9% sure they are in fact the polaroids. -{

I tend to agree with you. I'm going to add these to the IA post and I'll reference your name for contacting them. -{
I have to say, those do look pretty damn good! They give off a very 60's vintage vibe. Even though it's the wrong movie, you have the appropriate look to say "you're a woman of many parts Poosy".

Just as an FYI, I received an email from Elliot Mason and he told me that they are nearly sold out of these sunglasses...ONLY 6 more left....the reason he contacted me is to tell me NOT to vlog about them or they would be inundated with requests of something they don't have stock in and wont be making any more of....
Maybe Mantis needs to do a "I wish they'd bring it back!" vlog for all the pieces that are long gone and impossible to find
Converse OTRs
TF QoS Polo
7famk jeans in the right wash
Follow up with a "How can I miss it if I don't know what IT is!" vlog in which he somehow forces Eon execs to share the identity of those mystery items that still haunt us.

Are they not going to make more of these? Their website doesn't say they're a limited edition.

They've already revived Mr Fish. Mason is working on others too!

Like Steve above ive also read they were likely Polaroid N135s but believe this is simply assumed and not a given

i'm convinced they're the polaroids!
