Hot Toys Terminator 2: Judgment Day: T-800 (Galleria version) 2.0

Who’s Jon, and what’s this about him making correct glasses?

Don't want to speak for anyone but I think he means metal Jon on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/metal_jon?igsh=MnliZ2MwdjRuM3U=

No need to worry, I won't be here much. I have projects of my own I'm knee deep in.

I would really like to like that sculpt, but I just can't behind it.

From this angle he looks ok:

But here he doesn't only know now why you cry, but he's starting to mimic it:

You've done great with the sculpt itself, the shades are simply too far gone. there's no saving them.

The part that rests on the bridge of the nose would need to be hollowed out from below, lenses need widening at the bottom outer corners, top outer corners need to have a rounder edge, there's just too much alteration required without deforming the sculpt underneath. Jon will make them to spec.

In other words, they're just a completely different style of shade, not just off.

The angle at which they're viewed from changes their shape drastically.
Each lens looks completely different here.

Yeah I'm not gonna be able to draw the sunglasses well. They're just too awkward to interpret let alone for me to able to keep a steady enough hand with the cursor on my laptop here.

Wouldn't mind seeing what you do with this though.

I doubt I'd be able to do that.

My edit as it stands is probably as useful as it can be to demonstrate what ought to change. I do wish I could remove the sunglasses though. The brow, nosebridge and eye region might also need changes - certainly the brow because I had to raise the eyebrows in the center to see them above the sunglasses. So HT has the brow too straight across, I can say that much.

@a-dev @Chopper Face

They do good work but like Agonistes86 I feel something is off with that sculpt. The mouth looks strange, the hair silhouette is a bit too rounded like Hot Toys always does since DX10 - and it's hamstrung by having to work with the existing HT musclebody, plopped awkwardly onto the neck with the noticeable seam/separation.

Not to say that I am fully confident of my edit as being perfect. There could still be things off with it.

 

[Nick D]

I wasn't refering to the sculpt, but the Persol Ratti 58230's on it, those are by Jon.

 

[a-dev]

Alright, I think I've done as much as I can with the sunglasses, I reckon this is my final edit. A new GIF perhaps?

I’ll take the a-dev final edit please HT…thank you very much!

 

[Dave_W]

We ain't getting ****.

 

[DEATHASYLUM]

We ain't getting ****.

 

[Chopper Face]

We ain't getting ****.

With the HT, **** is exactly what we’re getting.

 

[Dave_W]

I'll be playing this in the meantime...

Quite the difference, man. Great job!

 

[fiveainone]

Placed my order, knowing all the defects you all pointed out. But there's no other choice out there, and I haven't been impressed with InArt, so this is it.

Thanks Cap'n.

Something's just occurred to me though. I only narrowed one side of his forehead, the right side temple region - and, while it doesn't seem to look wrong here in the 2D image, it might be a problem on a real sculpt. It might create an unintended asymmetry. So it should probably have been a smaller degree of equal narrowing on both sides up there. Another factor is that when I stretched the sunglasses that also moved the underlying outer eye socket bone structure that you can slightly see through the glasses and I don't know if that would be accurate.

Showed the GIF to my best friend, who's a terminator casual and he even he sees it.
So it's not just us.
This IS a bad sculpt.

It actually wasn't immediately apparent to me how wrong it is whereas it was to you. Your comment on facebook is the first one I see - 'one big pile of nope'
