For a long time I displayed him without any weapons. Just standing with closed fists. Still looked intimidating.

 

[Sidious-66]

Yeah I have had the 'fisted' pose in the past but on this pose I went for the open hands.

I agree he looks very intimidating with no weapons.

Here's my pose at the moment.

thanks a bunch, unfortunately this was another figure I missed out on while in the service, I have a chance to pick one up for $305 shipped, might jump on it, wanted this guy for so long

Isn't much more than what I ended up paying.

I have some parts of these (head, body, boots etc) up in the commerce in case anyone needs it.

'Target identified'

Even this figure captures that cold cyborg killing machine look that Arnie had in the movie.

Now that you mention it. That picture reminds me exactly of the face he makes when he identifies Sarah Connor in the club. It might even be the face they used to recreate this sculpt.

Yea, they nailed that relentless look in his face. I think this is as close to spot on as you can get. This and the Dutch sculpt, which I have yet to see in person

I haven't seen Dutch in hand either but this Arnie (T1) sculpt is fantastic but to me there is something a little off with it. I can't place my finger on it but it maybe the hair?

Hmmm. I wouldn't agree with that. It nails the character for sure but technically as far as matching Arnolds likeness I think it could be better. Like the MMS117 the face is too squat/square. Ideally it would just be stretched vertically a bit. Going entirely back to the drawing board like DX10 corrected the squareness issue but brought in new problems.

 

[snoop101]

With the mms117 the squashed face is almost more noticeable when he has his sunglasses on. Definitely could be improved. DX10 does look much better, but it still has some weird "cartoon" features and qualities to it. Part of that can be blamed on PERS though.

 

[Sidious-66]

Yeah the DX10 is an improvement over the old T2 figure.

It would interesting to see what changes/improvements they would do to the head.

 

[The Skull]

Having all the Arnold sculpts talked about hear I would have to agree with The Chev, best ones are the mms136 and dutch from hot toys imo. Arnold was super pumped in T1 and making the face skinner would not fit the look he had in t1, as for the dutch head its pretty much all there, only complaint would be it is a bit small in scale compared to newer hot toys figures as of late.

While the dx10 has captured arnolds likeness best from t2, better than the mms117 the pers system causes the eyes, hair, and neck to look less realistic unfortunitly which leaves the mms117 head to be the better looking of the two for me, that and the mms117 head has sharper detail and looks to me more meaner and bad@$$.

All that said I love them all
