Crazy how much better this is, and the gif shows it off perfectly. Fantastic work a-dev!

I think the edits look great and all, but imagine adding all the extra space between the nose and mouth on this pic:

I think the photography is an important factor here for some of the issues we’re seeing in those promo pics.

Damn.. thread died. Makes sense, it’s a Friday night. I’m just waiting around before I go pick up Threezero Drogon!! But I would’ve liked to see some action on sharing the edit with the masses

Johnny put the gif on their facebook in response to their banner image. I don't know if it's the same for everyone but I have to specifically select ''newest posts'' in order to see it. Does it become a ''Most Relevant'' if it gets enough likes and responses?

At least the "leather" will last as I squirrel this away until a proper sculpt becomes available. I was anticipating buying this one but the sculpt is far enough off that I just can't display it as is and get any joy out of it.

Eagerly anticipating any news from inArt.

That's the hope to cling to for when they likely release the sculpt unchanged. But given Hot Toy's past form for incorrectly shaped Arnie heads I will continue to suspect that it looks weird in many shots because it probably is weird and that shots where it doesn't look quite as weird are benefitting from the tricks and quirks of photography, intentional or otherwise.

Having said and done all this let me restate that these 3 new T2 figures are still a great entry point into the franchise for anyone who doesn't have the previous figures. And there is huge value across them - other than the DX13's liquid metal T-1000 statue you get everything from the previous releases. I don't want to put a complete downer on Hot Toys return to Terminator.

Looking at it again in GIF form I'm surprised how the width of the face doesn't change significantly, which had been my primary peeve. It's actually only a subtle narrowing of what was there with much of the slimming effect coming from the raising of the hairline and slight lowering of the jaw.
