Surely they're not going to be using rubber for the arms anymore though, right?
That last round of Sarah Connors (T-1000/Sarah?) was a QC nightmare waiting to drop from the outset.

I was thinking more about the headsculpt but the body itself..I dunno, what have they been using on recent female figures? Sarah is the only one I've ever had.

They're all basically jointed plastic bodies now - with the exception of the upper torso area in some cases perhaps, being a slightly softer composite type plastic material.
I disagree. The new HT Black Widow sculpt looks dam good. A new Sarah to match the DX Arnies would look awesome.
Do they have exposed arms? For some reason the likes of Babydoll and Amber just aren't springing in front of my minds eye.
One thing I hate about Sarah's body is the flimsy as **** joints. She can't stand for $h!t, her legs just buckle underneath her own weight.
Hey, I'd be down for a new one if they think they could do it better, particularly if it came with a Pescadero outfit this time.
As for Black Widow, nah I don't think she looks anymore like Scarjo than either Sarah figure looks like Linda Hamilton.
Well, I agree about the Hamilton sculpts, but I'm liking the BW one.

I see. And I suppose you think you're entitled to that opinion.

Yeah, exposed joints. The elbows are either the newer ball type joints, or (not so often at all now I think) double jointed elbow joints.
I agree with you on the BW figure too - it's a weird likeness. Sometimes it looks like Naomi Watts, others have said Nicole Kidman or Natalie Portman - although I don't see the latter two personally.

Hey, aren't you supose to be saving up for a wedding? 
What I see is HT ''idealising'' the sculpt again. Scarjo had puppy fat in that film, both in her face and her overall bodyshape - and she looked just as well for it. If the figure doesn't reflect that it instantly looks less like her than it should even before you get to the particulars of the facial features. But no, HT has this idea that all females have to be superslim with giant breasts, that their customers would only buy a female figure which conformed to that and so thats what they're sticking to. Yeah I know, I sound like Starpuffs there.

I was hoping you'd give me the opening to post a great Jack Nicholson 'A few good men' youtube segment there but alas not to be.
My wait for that perfect opportunity goes on.The wedding actually has been postponed. I thought I had aired that 'publicly' in here but you might have missed it. It just wasn't gonna happen this year financially. We would have needed more family help than it was reasonable to ask and we would have had to utterly deprive ourselves in the meantime and so on. So we're spreading out the saving over a longer period.
So I'm gonna resume saving money, uhhh, any time now.

That could have been good.....maybe next time. Anyways, I must have missed that update on the wedding. Well, at least that gives you a little more time to enjoy buying anything you want. 
You know where I stand on having multiples of the same figure. You could have some extra cash and space.

No, well said man - agreed completely.
If I wasn't buying multiples of Terminators I'd be buying the entire Avengers and TDKR lineups, I wouldn't be selling certain figures that I've been selling etc etc. Ultimately I'd be spending just as much and with no forseeable end. Theres only so many variations of the T-800 that even I need whereas if I'm going for a more varied collection then the possibilities are limitless.

I've stepped out of the terminator line a couple of times these past months, I picked up a dx12 a week ago, glad I did as its a really nice figure and I just ordered a figure I was gunna pass on, the city hunter predator. My predator collection needed some love and has space on the predator shelf so I made a what the heck purchese
Not sure that was the right choice but I'm gunna stick with it.
I have not spent one penny on HT figs this year 
I have got about 6 on PO though from last year.

I've had the DX11 Joker on order twice and I've cancelled twice. I'm just not in a place to buy outside my big 4 right now.
