On some of the posters Craig's skin tone looks too orange and he even looks a little bit puffy, also it looks more like it's an advertisement for some product towards older men than a movie poster... anyone else getting this vibe?

All posters from the Craig era have been awful. These are at least not as bad as Spectre. Craig looks like a gay German prostitute in those posters.
shareThe poster for Casino Royale, with Bond walking away....gun in hand...tie undone, is a GREAT poster.
Granted, this current poster (for NTTD) isn't brilliant, but I honestly see nothing wrong with it.
Bond got older...and he looks it in the poster. No big deal. It's a stretch to make it an issue.
I do like how someone mentioned the retro, painted-style Bond posters from back in the day.
That would be a cool artistic choice....to do that for a future Bond film.
Although I am very excited for this film, I agree, the current poster with the tux and the white background could use some work. I think the problem is the lighting. Like you said, Craig's skin tone looks too tanned and that's probably due to poor lighting and texture. I know many complain about the previous Craig posters because they look way too plain and simplistic, as well as the current No Time to Die one, however I actually really like the Craig posters because of the simple look to it and unlike the No Time to Die poster, the posters for the previous films actually had great lighting and it doesn't look like Craig is just simply tacked on. For example if you compare the Skyfall character poster with Craig in the tux and the white background to the No Time to Die one, you can tell the Skyfall poster looks much better because Craig's appearance is much brighter, which compliments the white background. If they were to just re-touch up on the lighting for the No Time to Die poster, it would look much better.
I also like the previous No Time to Die posters a lot. Such as the one where Craig is the blue tactical outfit, the IMAX one, and the black and white one with Lea Seydoux.
I think the lamest posters are those who come out with that tired excuse "Well actually Daniel Craig comes closest to Ian Fleming's vision of James Bond".
Totally irrelevant. Over twenty films with multiple actors establishing the cinematic Bond experience (and definitely worth not underestimating Kevin McClory, the co-author of Thunderball's contribution to that).
But no, the fact that we have an established figure, an established experience chucked out the window is absolutely ok because Craig looks like the Bond Fleming envisioned! I'd even bet that 90% of these doofuses are basing that on that Fleming sketch rather than any Bond book they've actually read.
