[sithlord13]

Is there likely to be new pictures from sdcc?

 

[a-dev]

New pictures of the same prototype....probably with awful posing and futzing.

hmmm, I guess so but I wouldn't bet on it

unfortunately, this is most likely

 

[karamazov80]

a-dev is probably right. But on the other hand, we're likely to get much better pics than we saw at the previous con where it was displayed. But since it will be a prototype anyway, I'm not sure that will have much meaning in relation to the final product we can anticipate.

But you probably are right. Time will tell.

 

[a-dev]

If it follows the previous pattern there won't have been any changes to be seen at SDCC. It wasn't until the actual release that we saw DX10 and DX13 had been improved. We actually didn't shout for much change with the DX13 prototype, other than correcting inaccuracies to the battle-damage so it was a surprise to see the whole likeness revamped. Not really sure what to expect with MMS238, we haven't been knocking down HT's door over this one either. Sure we have complaints but we haven't been loud and repetitive about it I don't think. Maybe they'll change it, maybe they won't.

 

[Sidious-66]

I think most people were shocked that it finally happened.

What were your thoughts on it again a-dev? Do you think it needs improving?

 

[karamazov80]

I don't expect changes from the prototype. And I think apparent differences from solicitation pics to those at the Asian con that we saw are only due to lighting, angle, and image quality.

You can obviously tell who its supposed to be but I think the likeness is a bit vague. I don't know if they're trying for a mix between the real Arnie and the animatronic's used in the film or what though. On the one hand I feel you can excuse a lack of a total resemblance if that was their intent but I dunno.

Certainly, and this is actually something I initially thought looked good - but don't anymore - the hair on the Police Shootout head is wrong. Just looks too short (again) and idealised. Needs to be longer and choppier. Face looks a bit squat and round. Don't really see much likeness in the human eyes. According to P. the endo-eye is oversized I think he said. So yeah, rather a lot could be improved.

What I do like is the pale clammy skin.

I agree pal.

All that you have said I can go along with. I just have it in my head that the one that we have seen is the version that we will be getting and any improvements will be a bonus. Yes the pale dead skin is the best feature on the figure that we have seen.

HT and Arnold's hair is always a lethal combination.

HT and Arnold's hair is always a lethal combination.

They've never done his T2 hair to my satisfaction. Probably the best is the Tech Noir boyband haircut on MMS136 but even that I think NECA did better.

Can't tell if a-dev is p. or selektiv in disguise

That is true.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

A-dev's right. The 'squat'ness with the faces seems to be a recurring flub - regardless of the sculptor involved. I still think the ugliest head so far though, is the DX10; round 'shaving cream brush' hair (same with DX13 anyway), the Gorilla crown, the ventriloquist dummy-esque PERS, the smooth facial texture - blech.

That said - all the HT Arnolds are great sets (needless to say) - accurate, or otherwise.

 

[Brainiac]

hmmmm I'm only seeing faults with those figures now.......DAMN YOU ALL!!!!
