1/6 Hot Toys -Terminator Genisys: T-800 Guardian

[a-dev]

Well, time will tell. I'm a lot more critical of the DX13 sculpt now than I was when I was just looking at pics online or even in the first few days and weeks of owning it. Right now if I'm honest I think the few criticisms are a bit on the hyperbolic side.

I think one thing Sallah's gif shows is the lips sag a big on the outside compared to the real photo which gives a less stern expression and almost has a slight sadness, but all the features are definitely Arnie.

I do think aw collectors, we are challenged to see resemblance to anything specific because this lools like an amalgam of references to Old Armie and not taken solely from shots from the scene, which likely weren't available since the BD head is based on early promo and not the final damage from the movie, and I'm sure they'd toss in a damaged jacket and Endo arm if they knew, and by the time they did it probably wasn't worth holding up production for.

The shape on the lips being slightly different may have more to do with the pic I chose than the sculpt... I did my best to find an Arnie pic at the same angle and similar facial expression as the existing pics we have of the final figure. I am sure there are better ones out there to match the figure's expression, but it was tough to find one to fit on top of the pictures of the figure.

I think we are on the same page though in that the gif shows it is REALLY hard to deny the accuracy of this sculpt.

Honestly? If you want a true 2017 Arnold, paint the hair grey. Sallah's gif proves that in almost every way. It's not "perfectly perfect" but it's dang close. And with that You could probably bash together a true 2017 T-800 pretty easily. You get two sculpts, so if you were so inclined it could be done.

A few things appear to be changing in that GIF between real Arnie and the sculpt (lip-sag, nose, ear, brow/eye) but a number of factors could be contributing to those differences so I'm not writing it off yet.

A lot of new pics in there, thanks onrina.

At first i wasn't a fan of the sculpt but the latest shots have convinced me. I think it's pretty nice sculpt, not 100% obviously but it definitely him.

It is more current day/T:G 2017 Arnie though and should have been grey haired imo. A little less sagging/aging and it may have passed for 84 pops Arnie, as previously mentioned he had been smoothed/de-age a bit in them scenes but came off inconsistent at times.

How many of you see John Mclane in that squint? Or Tommy lee Jones.with a bit of Arnold thrown in to.
It's a Asian example of how all westerners "look alike"

Put it this way. If someone showed me this and said it was Bruce Willis with hair I'd say ''really? Looks a lot more like Arnie''. Similarly if they said it was Tommy Lee Jones I'd say ''well, I guess it sorta looks like Jones but Arnie is more obvious there to my eyes''.

''Teddy bear your Terminated''

If you think that then you should have no more praise for this head than you do MMS238. I mean MMS238 is ''good sculpting work'' too (but the likeness isn't there). MMS117 is good sculpting work (but the likeness isn't there).

I see more Arnie likeness here than in those sculpts. If you don't, OK, but I'm confused by your previous statements.

i do think that this head got a lot of work in it, unlike MMS238 which was as lazy as possible.
ants do a lot of work, too.

I can't ever seem to understand what P. is trying to say through his oddly worded sentences. He seems like a miserable bastard though. Is there anything you do like P.?

One more during T:G

Is that the HT head sculpt with gray hair? It looks good.

 

[a-dev]

Seems to be and I guess that's just a 'prototype' sample as it's a preorder. But how can he offer them so cheaply? More than 10 available? Repainting the hair on every one of them while other sellers are listing the stock heads for $90-100 each?
