Nah man, paint is the only weakness. Well the hair could also be better. The PF's likeness is fantastic imo, Trevor did an awesome job.
I wouldn't go that far, the HT's sculpt is the better product forsure.
Exactly.

HT looks the most "real" but the SS I think looks the most like Arnold. It looks a little cartoony but Im sure a better paint job would help.
I think the lips are the weakest part of the HT head and that's what is selling the SS.

Somehow I wasn't able to upload the pics myshelf. I have both pics side by side for comparison. Don't know how to do it yet.

I meant the sculpt work between SS PF and HT MMS117. HT's paint app is still way far better then the SS's. I havn't got my MMS117 yet, still waiting from SS. Base on all the pics that many of you posted. He just have more wrinkles that makes him looks older.
My english is very bad but i will try to explain it.
In the post reply option , just below the place where you see the emo-icons, you can see the "aditional options" , there in the second
box you can see a green button that say" manage attatchments , this is the option that i use to upload pictures, i hope this helps you

What's the point of comparing the sculpts of the HT figure and the pf? It's not like you can interchange them. Completely different scale and formats. The great thing is that you can get both without one or the other being redundant. Some collectors own statues as well as 1/6 figures.
That said, I think the pf sculpt is quite good for its time. But it better be, for a piece that's more expensive and in a larger scale.

I concur. The PF face is excellent, the hair is a bit too bouffant though. He looks like a less extreme version of Guile from Street fighter II with that hair.
Well in any case I don't collect anything outside of poseable figures so I never bought the PF.
I find this a very interesting post, when I was young I would have never even given a thought to screen accuracy, it was my imagination that made them for me. Everything was things that didnt happen in the movie. I mean, isnt that the difference between buying toys as a kid and buying them now? At the time it was something to make your own story with, but now its a kinda representation of a movie that you like...

The HT's eyes throw it off for me.
I made up my own adventures with my toys as a kid, but I still aspired for toys that looked like what I was watching. I remember some of my favorites were the Ninja Turtles movie figures that came out with the 2nd film, they were done in rubber and had paint jobs and texturing to look like the Jim Henson puppets, I loved them because of all the Ninja Turtles figures at the time, they most closed matched the source, the cartoon based ones were fun but didn't look as true to the show as the movie ones. I think that's been the exciting part about collecting now for me, it takes me back to childhood because these are things I aspired to all my life and now am able to get. I'd have loved for T2 figures of this caliber to play with when I was a kid watching the movie.
I'm with Maulfan, always wanted screen accuracy. I mean I accepted what we got but it definitely bothered me that they could never seem to just make an Arnold schwarzennegger figure and just a Robert Patrick figure or that I could never find a Batman figure from either the animated series line or the movie lines that didn't have some stupid gimmick that spoiled the look of the figure.

Same here. Gun arms and claws be darned. Although after a bit I just pretended they weren't the T-800 from T2, but a different Terminator altogether.
That bothered me the most, I only remember 2 T-1000 figures, standard cop one, which had this odd half and half of full formation and liquid metal side, almost like a T2 Two-Face figure, and there was a Biker Cop one with missiles that shot out of him and the portrait hardly looked like Robert. As goofy as some of the T-800s got, there were some decent ones too.
Thats 100% it for me as well, its just not something I noticed at the time. I never wished for better toys, it was just 'Now I have Robocop/Terminator/whoever. But a lot of why I collect now is 'Man...If I had something like this when I was a kid...'
Also I just like them as ornaments...
Well, I wasn't to the point where I got now joy out of my toys, I still had a lot of fun, but my mind would spin over the possibilities of what could have been. I like to think I have a nice balance of having thoughts about what a product could be and enjoying it for what it is, I'm not so content as to just take everything and find no criticism in it, but I can also find criticism for things without losing content with what it is too.

just a small update to emphasize how detailed this figure is...the tiny buttons on the leather jacket even have weathering. If you've ever noticed how sometimes a metal button on a coat/jacket is sorta gold but the paint flakes away and it's silver underneath, yeah this guy's even got that
kinda trivial, I know, but it's just so damn cool how detailed this figure is

It seems I have found my comrades.
I with you guys a 100%. When I was twelve a designed a GIJoe 12" that was made of rubber with a steel frame because I spent so much time fixing my older brother's hand me downs. Never made it, I was twelve but to my surprise all these years later to own one. Irony that they are some of the weaker figures. Never understood why they wouldn't make the figures like the movies.
