I believe they were not able to get the likeness rights for John Connor.

Which his odd, cause I'm sure Edward Furlong could use the $$$ to buy more drugs.

 

[JustinLuck]

So Edward Furlong wants more money than the Governator?

 

[Wor-Gar]

If John Connor was offered, I would probably buy him as I would like to complete the whole set. However, I have no interest in that character to enjoy having Sarah and the terminators. I like the look and style of those characters; I don't care to have a teenager with jeans and a t-shirt. Plus, I'm not so eager to spend $50 on him even if he comes with a backpack like Willow and his jerryrigged ATM buster.

...and his jerryrigged ATM buster.

That thing was so cool!

It could be Arnold's likeness rights are part of the license, and Furlong's were not.

 

[Gruson]

Sorry Gruson, my bad.

So Gruson, do you want to see a 1/6 John Connor?

Nope but I would buy a 1/4 John for sure.

I hope they do make a 1/6 version as well for you guys.

 

[JustinLuck]

Ahh, yes, I didn't look over at your avatar quote until just now!

20 or less Ah-nuld TERMINATORS left...

Couldn't someone use another to make "Dutch"?

 

[EVILFACE]

That's what I'm thinking. I mean for 50 bucks you have a figure that loads of kitbash with it: perfect Arnold sculpt, leather outfit, big body, weapons, sunglasses.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Excellent, another basher. I was beginning to think everyone was now considering bashing a Sideshow figure sacrilege.

I probably will pick up another Arnold at some point for Dutch... and as soon as I do, Hot Toys will do him for their Predator line.

 

[Buttmunch]

It is sacrilege. Except if it is an Art S. Buck figure. Those are supposed to be customized.

 

[Wor-Gar]

You know how it goes, Buttmunch... You get a new "thing", you love it, you prize it... then something new comes long... and something newer... in time you look back to that "prized piece" and think: I could make it better with just a little...

I love customizing and working with other customizers on commissions. Up until Sideshow came along, you really had to "build-your-own" to get 'em just right. Now, as Sideshow grows, many of my favorite movie characters are being done the right way. Its awesome, but I still have a bit of the customizer left in me.

I am hoping Sideshow will use a Rambo type body or some sort of skin for Dutch (if they ever made him). Man, that would be sweet!! I would love to see a buff Carl Weathers too!

I'd like to get Rambo, but I fear that rubber body deteriorating over time. Plus I keep reading about the "wire" joints in the elbow snapping on people.

Back to Terminator: Do you think SARAH CONNOR with be offered at SDCC? Maybe not as an SDCC exclusive but...

And what would be her exclsuive? Gas mask? Detonator? Shotgun from factory?

 

[JustinLuck]

Don't you guys wish they could use something similar to a standard body and put a skin ontop of it?

 

[EVILFACE]

As said 1000 times, the fake skin rots and goes brittle. Hope SS never uses it.

Just because rubber skin had problems in the past doesn't mean they couldn't make better formulations in the future.

First of all, Ah-nuld Ex down to 10!

I think SSC will be putting out a Sarah as mentioned earlier but I'm not sure she'll be an SDCC EX although I hope she is. We'll find out next week when they announce the lineup.

I think it's more likely a Sarah will be coming out a little later in the year as the next in the T2 line. I think this because she is popular, never been done in sixth scale and will be released as an Exclusive of 750 and a Regular Edition (too much to ask of loyal SSC customers to release as an SDCC Exclusive)

 

[Wor-Gar]

You're probably right. Just got excited.

Nothing wrong with that W-G!!!
