Hot Toys - MMS125 Terminator 2: Judgment Day: 1/6 Scale T-1000 as Sarah Connor

Sooooo. Did anyone get this fig yet over at SDCC? Any in-hand pics??

It wasn't at SDCC, it's not shipping from Sideshow until mid-August.

I'm not sure if I'll be futzing her hair too much when I get her. But if I do, what kind of hair product (gel, mousse, spray) would one use to style "plastic" strand hair to get the look from the film? Or is it necessary?

 

[MaulFan]

You're going to need something to manipulate the hair going for the film look, something to bond strands together and hold their shape.

 

[VoidDweller]

That's what I thought. Thanks.

I think we have to "perm" her hair a bit more in order to get it more movie accurate. The hair being synthetic we would need some form of a low heat to soften the strands and then have it cure in the final curly state. Maybe it is possible to just use some metal rod and wrap groups of strands around and then use hairdryer to heat it up. I am thinking maybe knitting needles would do the job. Maybe just dip the curled up strands on the needle into hot water will do..

I did a quick search and found some useful how-to tips in styling synthetic hair. Using boiling water to style the hair is mentioned in an article I found here at this link... https://www.ehow.com/how_4839452_style-doll-hair.html

After reading this article I wonder what type synthetic hair Hot Toys uses.

I would hate to have someone walk in as you 'styling' her hair with straw curlers. What do you answer to, "What are you doing?"

 

[Geil]

I would say " woman I am honing my skills on this lil doll so I can eventually do yours and save you tons of moula"

Just so you folks know, the official HT instructions promote using styling product.

The fig is available in HK already. I saw it at Toyzone yesterday (16F causeway bay commercial building), the price tag was like 3000 HKD

Today is the first day of Ani-Com animation/comics/games convention in HK and they will have 200 in stock to sell at the convention today according to the HT blog.

JUST noticed that. That's ____ing stupid, hahahaha. I wish I would go out and buy some hair products and sit there styling my 1/6 figure. I hate when people call them "dollies" but I think it's appropriate here.

I know others have canceled, I really think I'm coming close as well.

I think its quite cool. How else can u get her hair to look sweaty and messy?

 

[Skiman]

I'm gonna be playing wit my dollies

 

[Ash Housewares]

Something about that Smiley is so Hilarious.

 

[stshammgod]

It's the only way to achieve that look in 1/6 scale. Sculpted hair just won't work.

Have THEM (Hot Toys) do it?

 

[Ash Housewares]

Nah. I'd much rather do it my own way.
