Ah-nuld in the blog.

Woah! The likeness is dead on. Glad I have him ordered!

If God ever needed some sculptures done for his office, he would turn to Andy B.

 

[Andy Bergholtz]

Wowza, that's a helluva compliment!

I'm extremely glad you like the sculpt.... Although, I noticed that those pics are of the early unapproved sculpt. The final sculpt (as seen in the actual figure images) has some major improvements, I'll see if we can update the blog with unpainted pics of the final portrait.

Wow!

Another excellent sculpt there Andy! I hope Arnold get to see them!

Andy = the modern day Michelangelo!

Improvements?

Clearly sir you are a genius of the first order!

That is unbelievably sweet!!! The head looked a little topheavy in some of the figure photos, but this arnold is a must own!!!

Now bring on Sarah Connor!!!

 

[lcummins]

I think I like the face sculpt on the first head better, but the hair from the second and third head. Is the first one the original unapproved sculpt and the second and third the final?

 

[Andy Bergholtz]

Actually none of the images are of the final, approved sculpt... Still waiting for the blog to be updated with the actual finished images. Out of the 3 that are up there though, the first image (on the far left) is the closest to the final result, the other 2 pics are of an earlier submission.

You're my fave Andy, your level of craft is exceptional, time after time you hit the mark and the comments here and on the SS Homepage bear that out.

This Ah-nuld is the best I've seen anywhere. I just hope they keep you for the remainder of the line. You know, no-one has EVER done a Sarah Connor 1/6 scale figure that I know of so I hope it's you buddy. Also hope you guys explore Terminator 1 Reese and Sarah cause that is my favorite.

Now, a few questions:

1) Will there ever be 12" Aliens line (Ripley, Colonial Marines (Hot Toys only did 3 figs) Knute (& Casey), etc.? Never done either.

2) How about A "Silence of the Lambs" Starling & Hannibal Set. Never Done

Anyway, terrific work, keep it up brother! I'm a huuuge fan.

 

[Andy Bergholtz]

Muchas Gracias Pjam! I really appreciate that (and everyone else!).

Those are good questions about Aliens & Silence/Lambs, but unfortunately I don't really have answers.

I agree those would be very cool lines though. And with Neca doing Hannibal now, I guess anything is possible....

And with Neca doing Hannibal now, I guess anything is possible....

NECA getting the SOTL license was a shock, since Hopkins stated he would never sign off on a toy of himself as Lecter. Glad he changed his mind!
You'd be the first guy I'd go to for Lecter, Andy. Hands down.

I got the Lecter head from Andgor Toys a while back. It's nice, but I'm sure SSC would do a muuuch better job!

Oh, and if anyone is thinking about ordering from Andgor, you might want to read my review first.

Edit: Never mind. BBB says they are out of business. Although, their site is still up. Hmmm.

 

[pjam]

You are MOST welcome Andy, it is well deserved praise, believe me.

I do hope you guys explore both lines because they would be record (non SW) sell-outs. If you do ever get into S/L I hope you do the psychos as well, Ted Levine character would hit big I think, and he came in many forms as you know/ trannie dancer/seamstress, predator in a van and of course the Final Battle w/ night vison goggles; again, never done. And while we're at it, may want to consider Mann's Manhunter with William Peterson and Tom Noonan as "The Tooth Fairy" again, never done.

Last comment and I'll go away. You guys should also explore doing a "Seven" line. I guarantee a David Mills Brad Pitt would sellout in a couple days as the Asian LE figs go for serious dinaros on eBay, $400 and up. Of course Spacey in that jumpsuit would kill and the exclusive?..

I'll let Brad speak to that:
"What's in the box? ..C'mon, what's in the box?!"

Have a great one and thanks again for your response.

 

[Darth Kustomizer]

The Ah-nuld headsculpt looks phenominal!

Now get to work on a decent looking Sarah Connor!!!

 

[PsychoCenobite]

Ted Levine character would hit big I think

Ooh yeah!

He's great! I'd love a Buffalo Bill.

[Seaward]

Would Buffalo Bill use a female or male twelve inch body...

Way off topic...

Just watch T2 this week, a little before leaving for work each morning, and now I cannot wait to get these!!!
