DarkSide: Terminator 2 - T-800 1:3

[a-dev]

I did not have my thumb on the pulse of general reaction to this one.

He looks ok with glasses on. Without them has a botox kind of look. They did the face on the t-1000 better.

Easy pass for me.

Really? If so, it looks pretty damn good for sculpted!

yeah man, they confirmed it. I agree, hence my original comment where I said it looks like fabric but it's not lol. They done an incredible job!

Wonder when the T-800 on motorcycle will start shipping.......

From the neck down, I think this looks phenomenal. The sculpting done on the leather jacket, pants, and rest of the outfit and body is some of the best I've seen. Certainly the best sculpted leather. It looks real almost. The head on the other hand is not the best. It's ok, it looks decent, but there is something off on it.

It's too big for me either way so I won't be getting it, but I don't think it's as bad as some of you are making it out to be. I would say the real question mark though is, will this company actually produce any statues?? I have yet to see something in production from them, it's only just prototypes so far. That makes me a bit worried if I was going to buy this.

People seem to be happy with their 1:3 Spock.

Ah, ok. Well that is a good sign I guess. I didn't know that was released. He does look pretty good, if you're into Star Trek.

Comparison by THE SHOGUN over on the other forum.

That, to me, is a great angle on it. The downturn of the mouth might be a bit too much, the tiniest bit too severe. Otherwise I'm not sure what I would change, from that angle.

Think it's the material and paint on it hurting it the most. A 1/6 HT head looks more realistic than this.

Yea, could be the paint. The color looks too washed out around the eyes. That is actually one thing I have spotted. His eyes or eyes area is overly "bright".

 

[a-dev]

Could be paint not having necessary complexity in that area or maybe the eyes aren't physically recessed enough. The shape of the eyes and the crows feet look good to me though.

I believe it is the skin paint that it giving this a dated look. If I get this I'll get it repainted. Would look fantastic given a proper paint job and glass eyes

or just wait for Queen Studios to make a proper one. It'll likely come out before this thing anyway, lol.

 

[JAWS]

Paint on the face is the issue. If T2 was a fav of mine I would be very tempted to get the ultimate edition. That looks like some great switch outs. It really is like two different statues

Definitely am waiting. Scale is a big thing for me tho. If it's not at least 1/3 I'll probably pass and get this guy

Yeah fair enough then.

As I posted on the other forum,

This piece has grown on me more and more. I wouldn't get the deluxe as I don't think it's worth that price for just a few extras, plus the shirt is the wrong color for the grenade launcher outfit anyway, but the regular isn't too terribly priced and the sculpt is actually looking better and better with time. The paint on the face will be the make or break.

I just don't know if I could pull the trigger not knowing if a battle damaged or a T1 version was in the pipeline. I definitely will need to somehow get a Terminator piece in 1/3 to complete the "trifecta" of Alien(s)/Predator/Terminator to finish off the collection.

Maybe I should just get a custom Lance Henriksen or Bill Paxton for each, save some space, and call it a day.

I did ask twice on Facebook if a battle damaged version will be made and both times they answer that they are not making one. Somehow I still find it hard to believe. They did say that they are considering an endoskeleton piece. I would pick up a battle damaged and Endo.
