Hot Toys Terminator 2 1:6 Sarah Connor

[MaulFan]

As much as HT's been working at using bodies well suited to the character at hand, I don't see them doing a body that only gets use for one figure like this Sarah could use. Honestly, can anyone think of another character that could use a body like T2 Linda's build? If the body's only good for T2 Sarah, then HT's not likely to make one just like hers when a recycled body is close enough. Wolverine's body works well for him, but it's not as bulky as Hugh Jackman was and so it can and has been used for Comedian and likely someone else. Even the new T-800 body will probably be used at least one more time with T2 and may be used for any T1 figures if they go there. It seems like it's too costly, be it money or resources, to do unique bodies for each figure, so even with the newer ones, recycle capacity is a factor.

So this is just some female base one-bust-fits-all body they're using here?

That's usually how it works, look at Sideshow's Buck, too busty for Sarah, way too busty for Padme. For some reason these bodies always lean to the larger chested look.

Ripley comes immediately to mind...Vasquez, Blair Williams, Trinity. HT could work another deal with Sideshow to use it for Padme....

I think there could be plenty of uses for the style of female body that would be more suitable to T2 Sarah than this big-chested one...

Well if you just mean a body with a flatter chest, than yeah, I agree, but others are looking for the body to be as sickly muscular as Linda looked.

I had the tought of Ripley, but HT can't even do her likeness so no point in a body that matches Weaver's. I can't think of any females in film with a body like that. Not saying there aren't and I'd be interested in what ideas other people have, I just can't think of any and like I said, usually bodies are made to get at least 2 figures out of them.

Well, they do have the Marvel movie license. How about an Elektra figure? Jenny was ripped in Daredevil. Or a yummy Jessica from Blade 3? She went hardcore for that one. And I'm certain there'll be plenty more opportunities to use it, like a potential Madonna or Tina Turner for their M Icon line, so that argument has no weight.

And I thought the Comedian got the Dutch body?

Comedian got Wolverine's body, Redfield got the Dutch body.

So you're not looking for a sickly muscle body like Linda's, but more muscular and toned looking than the body is now? That they could do and reuse it, I was just thinking you were looking for exactly like Linda, because this looks healthy and muscular.

Linda looks anorexic and toned in one, it's really sickly looking.

 

[Reinhardt]

I'm seeing the much hated velcro on her pants where the zipper should go...

CoolToyReview reports that the sculpt isn't the final version.

And I just noticed I'm late on finding that out.

Argh, HT really knows how to play with our expectations.

First off, she didn't look sickly, she looked extremely fit (hang out at the gym sometime). That aside, I'd forgive a body with slightly more mass so long as the muscles were there. Remember, Linda's body was so remarkable that Madonna hired her trainer. And this would be the perfect opportunity for them to debut a body like that. One that'd separate the base female form the more "heroic" one. I look at the body she has now and think of T1 Linda, not the trained warrior from T2.

I get ya, yes, the figure doesn't have a fit look, and a body something like Jessica Biel's Blade form would be good for multiple characters that are more physically fit and not just generic bodied females. As for Linda, I realize she wasn't unhealthy, she just looks it to me, I find certain levels of fitness to look almost as unhealthy as being obese.

I never liked Linda Hamiltons tits in T2..they look like bananas, the way the wing off to the sides. lol!

Now every time I see T2, I'll think of Sarah Connor with a pair of bananas. Thanks buddy!

Well, truth be told, this is just as unhealthy as being obese:

Unfortuantely most professional fighters also put themselves in extreme physical danger when dropping to make weight for a fight, beit dehydration or malnutrition. But to get back on topic, you get what I'm saying about the body. HT really dropped the ball on this one.

And what, her missile tits in part one were better?

 

[plasmid303]

You guys are talking like Linda Hamilton's physique during T2 was unhealthy.

Yes, and I agree with you that a generic muscular body would be better for her, but at least the body she's on looks like a human being compared to the female Buck

 

[thenammagazine]

No, you're reading into it wrong and mixing two convos. We're discussing two things:

1) There is a point to being so "fit" it's unhealthy

2) They should've done a female muscle body for Sarah

 

[Valfar]

Now every time I see T2, I'll think of Sarah Connor with a pair of bananas. Thanks buddy!

Haha!, they do look much better in T1 though, i think shes more attractive at that weight.

I love this board!

I will never be able to eat a banana right again.

I'm saying it looks unhealthy, I'm sure it's not, but it just looks that way. Look at Jessica Biel in the Blade shot I posted, she looks fit and muscular but she looks like there's some mass to her, Linda was so trim, it almost appears like she's just anorexic even though the reality is she just got her mucles very ripped without bulking up her body mass.
