Looking at it in person no not really. But in photographs I think it does, particularly without the paperclip in the jacket trick.

What Paperclip trick? what does it do? You tell me NAO!

Well that was the great idea that I personally myself and I alone came up with to use a paperclip unfurled and slid underneath the jacket collar, then manipulated till the collar is brought in tighter around the neck and the two jacket sides come closer together for greater screen accuracy.

Spoiler

Only joking it wasn't my idea, I think it was Plasmid's???, but it does the job

Here ya go m8.

Do you have yours yet, Manji? If not, I think once you get him in hand and had a chance to take a look at the jacket, you'll know exactly how to tighten the collar.

Unbend a paper clip or wire (whatever you choose) until it is straighten out a bit, and then slide it underneath the collar. Then pinch the wire until it is formed into your desired shape and tightness around the neck.

I'm not going to take a picture of a paper clip for you, but I did just spend about a minute in microsoft paint:

If you look closely at the space I highlighted with the white circle, you should see the wire underneath the jacket lapel. The red line illustrates the shape of the paperclip.

REALLY tempted to get this figure.

 

[vodoun]

You have to. It's the bees knees! I think this is my favourite figure in my small collection so far. Even though I only have 20 figures or so.

 

[MaulFan]

This might be my favorite 1/6 figure in my collection, it's just top notch, of course, if they do the T2 BD, that'll take the top spot.

 

[vodoun]

I just hope it's majorly packed.

 

[MaulFan]

That's the main goal, but if they did a figure in his full, final damaged state, even if it only included the grenade launcher, I'd still be happy, I love the design, I badly want a figure in HT's style of that look, anything on top of the bare minimum is just icing on the cake. I want it all, I want to make a Cyberdyne figure too, but T2 BD is one of my most sought after figures in everything so getting it all will be a dream come true.

I just hope the final battle damaged head has a light up eye.

Perfectly said.

I'll enjoy it if they do it, but it's not a make or break feature, lights on figures are cool, but for a little as the batteries last, they're really only good for short "play" time, on the shelf, they can be lit briefly and then they'll die or you have to shut them off.

What would be cool is if light up figures came on stands that you can plug a small cable from the stand to the figure and then an outlet plug from the stand so you can have it always lit, then it'd be useful, but that's elaborate for a figure.

The batteries do die out fast but at least the LEDs will last for a long time. A battle damaged terminator from T2 with a light up endo eye has always been one of my most wanted figures. Though Ive bought the neca 12'', id still love to see hot toys take a stab at it, their level of quality is unbeatable.

 

[MaulFan]

Well yeah, I'm referring to the charge, not the electronics. I've noticed the Iron Man Mark 3 and DX Batman lights dimming after 10 minutes or so during photo shoots. It's fun for a few photos but really, I feel like if the figure could possibly work better without that feature built in, it might be best to leave the lights out. LIke the lights on the Predator, cool, but, adds materail to the underside of the face mask that wouldn't have been there otherwise and makes for the mask fitting on awkwardly compared to other Predators without that feature.

Ultimately, where I don't see the lights being on much, I favor the best looking and working figure over the addition of lights. If it can be done at no major extra cost or without interfering with the figure, go for it, but otherwise, just make a sharp looking figure.

Whats disappointing is Hot toys will probably save him for last so we might have to wait a while.

End of the year?

 

[EndIessRAlN]

Got mine today. Finally. Amazing! A-freakin'-mazing. Pics soon. Gotta set up a cool group shot or something.

 

[Commtech]

Here are my 2 Arnies. I really like the heavy artillery one I put together. Q hooked me up with the gaitling gun and the duffel bag. I'm also using a grenade launcher I got from monkey depot and Hot Toys Blade II gloved hands. The bandolier I made with some web belt material I got form good stuff to go. Here are some pics. Sorry for the excess of light:

 

[EndIessRAlN]

That looks amazing. Job well done dude.
