1/6 DX10 - Terminator 2 - T-800 Cyberdyne - Official Specs & Pics

i know this is a common problem with this figure but the head doesn’t sit on very well. Can someone tell me what was the best way of resolving? Was it a different body or just a change in the neck adaptor? Any suggestions?

Are you referring to gaps between the head and neck or some other issue?? The gaps always annoyed me but I didn't do anything about it, just conceded that at least they weren't visible from the front.

Nice lighting there

Did your belt disintegrate? I saw the untucked T-shirt and then I realized why you have it like that.

Thanks! You are close. I put the figure together with bits and pieces off eBay and TA and I do have a belt but I figured it might disintegrate if I tried to get it on the pants so left it in its baggie!

The lighting is with a small Joby Beamo LED light btw. It’s terrific and has made a huge difference to my photos.

My Terminator rework - paint by me, head by day belt by Ponce - modded Genesys body and MMS17 outfit with DX shades

you definitely have a skill of face painting! though i personally think that skin is a bit too dark, and eyes could use less red around them.

If memory serves the neck of the Genisys Guardian figure is quite tan - perhaps Raymond painted the headsculpt to match that. But yeah that stood out to me. Although the sculpt has many features of Arnie that I recognize, I can't say it nails him but at least you've got rid of PERS and the access panels in the head. Overall you've got a good looking Uncle Bob there. And great quality pics.

Yup, that pretty much emphasizes what I think too. Amazing skills, overall a little like a shrunken down EB 1/4, but the sculpt is off in some areas and also has him too sad, I feel.

But again: amazing paintjob!

 

[Raymond F.]

I don’t disagree that we still havent really seen a head sculpt that nails Arnie and it’s frustrating with all these endless sculpts of something that I can never wrap my head around… Constantine comes to mind for example

I think dai qing is an amazing sculptor but misses the mark in some subtle ways. Nonetheless this definitely edges out the shrunken enterbay head.

Hope we get something better before long

I wasn't happy with the T-800, I adjusted the skin tone which I too felt was too tanned ;looking to match the other Hot toys (specifically DX13) which resulted in me having cool the neck from the old man Terminator body he is on as well. I also made some other tweaks to bring out more Arnie. I'm much happier with him now still think the definitive Arnie sculpt is yet to come.

Not bad but there is something throwing it off. I think you have to fix the ears, they are sticking out at the top too much. Arnie does not have sticky out ears. The eyes dont seem right either, looks better with sunglasses on. He looks too sad, you need an emotionless sculpt imo. He is playing a cyborg after all.

I love to see people have a go at doing an Arnie sculpt, will be interesting to see if you do any more revisions

 

[Raymond F.]

not much I can do about the base sculpt unfortunately, I can and have tweaked hair and such for my sculpts here and there... but I'm just a painter. Having said that I did think about making his hair more full and bushy. this is another issue I have with this sculpt its a bit too cropped. More apropropriarte for dutch. If I can get another one of these sculpts I plan to sculpt stubble on and make him Dutch.

In any case it's still the best (clean) Arnie anyone has done. I used to think the Damtoys YK Kim was the best, this one tops it I think though.

this was yelim's take at this sculpt. IMO Yelim is still the best not only because go her technical proficiency but she is one of the few painters who actually understand how to bring someone's likeness out of a base sculpt and not simply "color in the lines" Having said that I thought this was a rare miss of her's she missed an opportunity to bring out his crows feet, mouth area accentuation and mostly his eyebrow shape, which to be fair is how Dai Qing sculpted it, but I had to change the shape to make it more accurate as best I could with paint tricks.

The top half of the face has a bit of Robert Patrick.

We desperately need a new sculpt of him too

Necroing this thread almost a year to the day. Most of the discussion has moved to the recent Present Toys release, but I had so much fun skimming through here and seeing everyone’s pics and customs! Does anyone here have a Kayak Zhang sculpt?
