What are some of the cons with this figure???

-They've taken a lot of artistic license with the battle damage on the head, chest and knee.
-The PERS probably won't look as good as it does in the proto-shots.
-missed opportunity to provide the teargas launcher
-might have the same overly bulky neck, awkward head connection and puffy hair as DX10, hard to tell with the angles given.

Good summation there a-dev.

That said - still a brilliant piece, as I'm sure you of course agree. I just hope the Endo eye lasts over time - movement wise (if so) & the light up feature as well. If the two work together, it could be a QC gamble.

Undoubtedly. Even if they didn't fix any of the accuracy issues it would still be a brilliant piece - we'd just have to accept HT way of doing it. They have the ability to make it super-accurate, the film has been out for over 20 years with referance material in abundance - they chose to do it the way they've done it.

This is how I feel about the DX10 head actually. I'll totally admit they didn't nail the likeness the first time, but I'm a fan of the 'older' looking sculpt - somewhat condensed features & all.

The DX10 head - while a nicer attempt sure, is round, glossy, soft featured, & I've bashed the eye area enough by now.

Horses for courses, but yeah - HT definitely have their stamp on these figures, either way.

I'd love to see the 117 sculpt a bit vertically elongated and with hair slightly fuller above the ears. And I know its a wierd thing to look at but I prefer the back of the head on MMS117 to the DX10. I have a strong suspicion HT were looking at Enterbays first figure when they were working out the hair/cranial shape on DX10...but they shouldn't have because that was the biggest flaw of the EB figure. And incidentally I would say to HT that they should be looking at the film not other companies' sculpts.

Bang on bro, I feel like the DX10 was almost in complete rebuttle towards the 1/4 T-800. Hot toys is sooo insecure, I remember them boasting about a seemless Bruce Lee body, at the time EB released the seamless arm... what a joke, it never came out.

So about the sculpt, you know what I really noticed the other day...

whatever Arnie's new movie is called, something "law"...

the MMS 117 sculpt looks like Arnie today in that movie

 

[Mr. EcKo]

You so smart ADEV buddy buddy

 

[BadMuthaDude]

I'd say the mms sculpt doesn't look like Arnold at any age.

 

[Lee in MI]

And that would be an inaccurate assessment...

 

[BadMuthaDude]

As would yours. See, I can do that too!

 

[Mr Walker]

I don't think it's that bad, but it could do with a lot of improvement.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

So can the DX10 head - or should I just keep referring to it as Benicio Del Damon-negger.

 

[BadMuthaDude]

As long as you refer to the mms as Arnold Cosplayer. :winkitywink

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Ehh.. there's enough HT Arnold to go around for all our tastes.

 

[BadMuthaDude]

Absolutely. However, I fully expect a couple years down the line a new one gets made that puts them all to shame.*

*or would put them to shame if it weren't for some new weird issue

Hey BadMutha... how about this?
