Congrats Snake, my last flex pay comes out on the 10th, this figure demands both looks.

I couldn't wait and told them to charge me Friday instead, and will be getting it tuesday, thinking about getting a second one too, but want that Elder Predator.

I'm SO excited to finally have this thing on its way to me! Now, to dig through 701 pages and find the mods people have been doing.....

Y'know I keep telling myself that, that I'll just enjoy it as an Arnie film. But do I enjoy T3 on any level? Frankly, no. All I can think about is what that film thinks it is and so isn't. And T5 is more than likely gonna be exactly the same. That trailer had T3 2.0 all over it.

I dunno the new terminator trailer looks pretty epic to me. It looks a lot better then terminator 3 in fairness although its hard to judge just on a trailer.

You've gotta remember they have to do something new with the series. The days of a linear storyline died out with terminator 2. People keep harking on about a return to the future wars of terminator 1 or some sort of progression from the first 2 terminator films but we'll never get camerons style again with the terminator series and people just have to accept that. Its like people want to see the style of camerons terminator films translated into the present day. That can never be done however as it was a product of that particular time period of filmmaking. He was a perfectionist in terms of set design, directing and casting choices. Miniatures, prosthetics and traditional special effects have all been replaced by cgi. It'll never have that authentic look and feel as it did with the first 2 terminator films.

It was good but that kind of filmmaking style died out in the mid 90's. Even Cameron himself wouldn't film the same way he did back in the early 80s or 90's if he was in charge of this movie.

The simple fact of the matter is the terminator storyline arc has run its course and did so as Cameron said himself with the end of terminator 2. There was just nowhere left to go with the series after that. Anything after that could be seen as a bonus to be enjoyed or something terrible.

I think just don't expect too much from the new film and you might be pleasantly surprised.

Congrats, that elder predator is a great looking figure for sure, I decided to stick to just one shelf to represent predator myself and that's full already

I don't even think a future war movie is necessary - we all know what things look like, we all know what happens, we all know how it ends. But if the Powers That Be want to crank out a movie, a movie we will get.

My SS Batman might be delayed, but atleast my retailer shipped Ahnuld. Been keeping an eye on this thread so I put some cotton in the hips and neck before putting him on display. Whilst working on him I was pretty calm, but now whenever I look at him, the T-800 tune plays in my head.

Looks good up there and congrats to all that have recently got this awesome figure Took a shot of my shelf last night and I just love it.

So just curious what new Terminator figures we would get from this new film. I'm hoping HT atleast does another run of the T-800 endoskeleton in 1/6. Seeing as how well they pulled of the chrome electroplating on the 1/4 scale!!

Are those modded at all the kinda look like what they might be out of box, I really don't like doing mods to my figs so I'm going to raise the collar but I never thought the neck was that thick in the movie. But that's just me.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I get my second Thursday!

 

[YankeesFanboy]

You displaying both looks, Snake?

 

[sithlord13]

I stuffed the neck on both, but mostly on the bottom to give it a more natural look. Trust me when I say that the neck is way smaller out of the box.

I get my second Thursday!

Congrats buddy

You displaying both looks, Snake?

I gonna guess YES

 

[shells075]

I had all my female figs out and decided they needed a man in their life.
