They're not that bad.
but i surely wish HT to be good in all ways as i collect them and not 1/4 ))
i still believe that the final BD sculpt will be corrected. it's not based on anything except hope.
Well, with the overhaul that HT did on the DX10 hs, there is a chance that some adjustments could be made. Let's just wait and see what happens in 7 months.
Its going to be a long 7 months and with all the marvel characters coming out it will probably be delayed.
1/4 look like kid toys. too big already. still not the 1/2 endoskeleton who looks like midget, but.
i actually don't like 1/6 as well, but nobody gives that detalisation in a lower scale. still, kotobukiya has best robocop series and konami - best alien collection.
also their (EB's) body sculptor has never seen T2. so their BD T-800 looks like its character only from the neck up.

The T-1000 on this set is really cool looking having seen it in person.
To be fair, 1/6 is more impressive in general. Its one of the reason we all enjoy this hobby. The smaller scale is harder to make. Jam packing all these intricate details, clothes, sculpt, paint, into one ultimate figure is hard to do.
However, that said, the EB 1/4 still looks way better. I'm a pretty big T2 fan, although nothing compared to alot of the fellow freaks. For now, for 1/6 collectors, the DX13 is probably the best in the market and best option.
But, if you are a T2 collector, its not even a question, get the EB. Its not even fair to compare cause it blows this into dust.

Agreed, & a very fair statement.
I think folks tend to overlook that fact, because it's truly an art to scale those amazing details down like they do. Appreciation where it's due etc..
I think you're very mistaken here but so be it.i think you're mistaken and it is proved by the actual movie, but who cares? me? you? no one

That one was actually clear and concise in way over a minute.
I will agree though, 1/4 does FEEL like a cheap, clunky baby toy. The body anyway.
No way does the actual product LOOK that way though. The body proportions are just as good as any of the Hot Toys versions, maybe better.

The proportions are miles better than MMS117 certainly. HT did improve theirs with DX10 though.
The jacket on the EB BD - I have never seen a better fitting T2 jacket, its superb right out of the box.
No it does not feel like a baby toy, come on now thats just silly, there really impressive heavy high end collectibles, its just the size makes it clusmy to handle, they look great on display you just don't want to pick them up and repose them often like you would 1/6. I picked up the clean enterbay 1/4 figure a month or so ago and it is all I hoped for and more, I resisted 1/4 stuff for a long time do to cost and size but it is an amazing piece.
That said I still prefer 1/6, you really don't get much more in the way of detail in 1/4, sure you get better materials like real wood and metal and loadible clips for guns which is crazy cool(not that I will be actually doing that) but after that theres not much extra there, the clothes hang alittle better but nothing to write home about. There no leap in sculpting, articulation, or features. Infact compare the dx10 to the clean enterbay and the dx has more features like pers, lightup base, removable chip from the head, all at a smaller scale. They are in the end large 1/6 figures, with the only benifit being there more impressive on display, the down side is there also more expensive, space hogging, awkward to handle, ex*****ive to ship, and have next to nothing availible for kitbashing, accessoires or dioramas.
So I will only get a few from my most favorate scenes as a centerpiece for the collection, not a collecton of 1/4 scale stuff. 1/6 is where its at for me

Your opinion, you're entitled to it. But you're probably right, a baby toy would be the wrong way to describe 1/4, baby toys are a lot sturdier and well made.
1/4 feels like cheap crap. Big, clunky, top heavy, rubber ****ers. Rubbery torsos, breakable shoulders, fear of breakage.
True, 1/6 can can suffer from the last two problems, and yes, true type in make and design are cheap, but 1/4 is still a different animal even with it's wood and metal.
I hate the way the head sits on my T-800. The hard plastic head on a crappy thin rubber stub. The body over all just feels like a mixed medium mess of damage just waiting to happen. I pose and handle my 1/6 figures often, my 1/4? I don't really **** with them. I stand it up on it's cheap base and admire it from afar.
They look great on the outside, museum quality, but when you pick up the bigguns, they feel like crap.

I think were really on the same page Difabio, what you said really falls inline with what im getting at to, how there cool as display pieces but not fun to handle. I'm not sure how durible they are as like you said I look at it on display and don't mess around with it so maybe they are fradgile idk.
