No, apprently it'll make running noises even without driving it, I have a friend with one that told me. I threw out the remote and tore out the antenna as soon as I got mine, I never planned on it as anything but a T2 prop.
Same here. When I was younger, I was more into Star Wars because of the fun aspects of it that speaks to younger audiences, as I've grown up, I've come to appreciate other things more, but for a long time, Star Wars was really the only thing out there to buy and collect, so my displays weren't a fair representation of my interestings, that's changing now. If I could have 100s of figures for various things from Rambo or Terminator and other films that mean as much or more to me than Star Wars, I gladly would. I'd say up until the past 4 years maybe, the majority of my collection was Star Wars, but thanks to Hot Toys and Sideshow, I've been able to expand on things like Rambo and Terminator that I enjoy more.
In my own way, I still re-enact, but with photos instead of laying on the floor holding up a T-800 pointing a gun at T-1000 saying hasta la vista .
Well the key is to have fun, if you're trying to be a photographer, then getting competitive can be a healthy thing but if you're just enjoying your collectibles, who cares if someone else has done it, if you have fun doing it that's what counts, and everyone's going to have a different style anyway. I've been planning to do like that one user did mirroring film shots and I still plan to, it's my way of enjoying these things and my style of shooting those same things will be different, if my shots would look exactly like theirs I might not do it, but it'll be the same scenrios but through my eyes.
I didn't catch your photos though, after the 2nd wave of T-800s shipped I stopped following the NECA outside of the T-1000 stuff, I don't plan to get the 12" FB from them unless we get to Comic Con and still no sign from HT, then I might get it and if HT does it, I'll live with the expense but right now I'm holding out.
The wait is killing me, this is going to be one of the most exciting figures to receive.
I hear that. This is the most bored I've been in ages. The absolute longest time I've gone without receiving a new figure in the post, but probably one of the most treasured HT figure I will ever get to eventually resolve this boredom. End of may gawdammit
There is nothing during the past 4 years that I can think of that would top this. And I don't even have it yet.
