A cleaner looking BD T1 - Also done the neck mod. Happy with how it looks now!

What neck mod did you do?

Nice mods. I wish it came with a clean shirt. That neck looks perfect, what did you do?

 

[PopCollector]

From a distance ya cant tell the difference. I have 2 of these figs and it was just 2 of the same figure with a different head. They both look different now at least. I may in the future get a really fine pen and draw the speckles onto the shirt, but at the moment I don't really think it needs it.

where did you get the clean shirt from?

 

[tominator56]

I just tucked in some foam down the inside of the neck. And the T-shirt is just a DX10 one that I had!

 

[tominator56]

Took me a few attempts with the foam to get it looking even. put too much down there and the head wont really go on properly. Found a medium I was happy with anyway!

Looks good, Tom! I plan on doing the same with an extra grey tee I have from my DX10. Glad to see it works so well.

Honestly, I don't think I'd bother. Trying to recreate that pattern by hand would be brutal and it won't look right, especially up close. I know in my case something like that would really bug me. I paid around $40.00 US for a black Arnie tee, so I could make a mall version of my second DX10. Basically not cheap enough for me to experiment with and replace if I'm not happy with the result.

Ya probably have a fair point, but as I said I don`t feel the need for it to be done at the moment, that thought may remain the same anyway!

The DX10 Tshirt really does work well I feel. Nice and tight around the pecs and still loose and longer fitted around the bottom!

 

[Invictus Sol]

Yep, I wish they'd gone with about the same cut for this figure's tee.

Is that legit? I can't tell anymore.

Yep, Arnold himself posted it on his youtube channel

 

[YankeesFanboy]

You like it, man? Yay or nay?

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but it was less than 15 seconds.

That's what she said.

Full trailer is out tomorrow apparently. I think it will be better than salvation but the original will always be my fave

 

[Wor-Gar]

Looks like Terminator's Greatest Hits. I think at this point Terminator is a relic of the past unless someone really innovative comes aboard and really surprises us and changes everything. I don't think this is that movie. But we'll see...

I think filmmakers are too much fans themselves to not let their favorite elements sink in. I feel like this goes for the Alien and Predator franchise, really anything that gets continued long after the originals were really relevant either is made by someone who doesn't get the originals and you get Terminator 3, or someone who likes them too much and almost give you shot for shot the originals, AVPR.

 

[dominishin]

We'll see after tomorrow... right now I agree with the "greatest hits" vibe.

The Star Wars trailer however did a great job with infusing the past with the new. But again, that was longer than 15 seconds.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

That's what she said.

10 seconds for me.

Like Predators?

Agreed.

But one always hopes for someone who is both and who can revamp the story/film like they did with Batman Begins or Casino Royale. Very, very hard to do.

Batman has the benefit of a huge history to tap into, you can ignore other movies and start over like they did with Begins, but where something like Terminator is all movies, it's tough for sure.
