1/6 Hot Toys - MMS276 - Commando: John Matrix Collectible Figure

[Snake Plissken]

What a film! I love when he picks the phone booth up

Such 80's silliness

No one else but Arnold could of done that in a film.

Finally, Hot Toys gets Arnold's likeness right.

Like Jackman, fourth time's the charm.

And yet some are saying it's Val Kilmer. It seems we are still without a universally pleasing Arnold sculpt. I gather you guys don't make much of even DX13 judging by your wording.

 

[Snake Plissken]

DX13 and MMS136 are the cream of the crop with Arnie likeness for me.

DX13 looks Asian to me

In all seriousness though he's your fav. A-Dev?

What he doesn't look like some Japanese anime interpretation to you in this angle?

That's not the DX13, it's the DX10 and it's not even the production model.

I know, I know thank god for that, and DX13 does actually look really good in hand. They should burn all these proto pics of the DX10 though.

Well I think it was clearly the best until this figure. This one is IMO on a par with it or maybe slightly better. The face looks pretty similar, the eyes not being PERS makes them look more real (though it was arguably the best ever execution of PERS on the DX13) and the hair is far better. Yulli keeps sculpting (T2) Arnie with what looks almost like a tight afro.

Completely agree man. The hair on this one is fantastic. If only they could have done something like this on the T2 Arnies

Man it frustrates me to the maximum extent that one can be frustrated by toys.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

I like the hair on this too.

I agree it's probably the best arnie likeness HT have done, but the tech noir captures Arnie better as said character.

 

[a-dev]

I don't think this hair would be bang-on for T2 but it'd certainly be better than DX13's do, which frankly annoys me more and more as time goes on because not only does it not look correct - it doesn't even look 'cool'.

The hair on the BD Tech Noir sculpt wasn't correct, but it at least looked cool. It didn't look like a round, perfectly uniform afro.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

when you have the head tilted down on the DX13 he has a straight up melon head

There's no Kilmer. Only Arnold - finally.

Glad I skipped Dutch and all the Terminators.

I've been noticing that. A top down view of that headsculpt is hugely unflattering. The hair, its just..just

They never get his hair 100%. The technoir's long hair was also wrong. Neca actually got it right, on a $15 dollar 7 inch figure

 

[Snake Plissken]

With corrected hair, Matrix could be number one for me in terms of Arnie heads. But as a-dev pointed out, he keeps getting mini fros.

 

[DBoz]

Just noticed the binoculars are wrong. Not gonna stop me from buying, but annoying nonetheless. This is the kind of stuff that I didn't like about the first Dutch figure. His rifle and pistol were both inaccurate.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Oh yeah I see it, the binos should have longer tubes and have folding mid section. Why'd they chose a completely different set? It's not even close to the same model.
