I just wanted to say that this is a great thread.
I've long felt that getting the glasses right is one of the most important parts of any costume.
It strikes me as odd when someone spends hundreds of dollars on the exact shoe but wears incorrect glasses. The first thing we look at, generally, is a person's face.
My main cosplay is Dr Jones Sr. He wears vintage rimless glasses, which were very popular in the 1920s and 1930s. You can pick up originals on Ebay for $10 to $20. Nobody wants them. Yet for some reason every Dr Jones Sr cosplay I've seen uses rimmed glasses.

I would love to see the OP523’s done if they were based off the 1998 edition! And dude so cool about Charlie Cox!! They look perfect!!

Have the Mission: Impossible glasses ever been brought up?
I’ve already identified the accurate pair in my own thread: the code is 55-9171 in case anyone needs to know.

I think it has been confirmed that the older original style Baloramas are the exact glasses. The side profile (at least to me) looks spot on, and the vertical double dots angle the exact same way.
We could put those on our suggested items list and when we're ready for a new model, we can throw that into the interest poll.

Quite possibly our next project.
Even if it’s a very limited run, I’d grab a couple pairs:cool hahah

The JFK's are very nice. I like how they're not just standard wayfarers, the temples are sleeker, with some classy details.
When do you expect these to go on sale ?
Just got a note from Dan Aykroyd... Elwood himself approves of these glasses!
