That's just such a freakin' great shot. The Terminator in all his pure awesomeness. I will forgive Hot Toys if they give us exactly that in a 1/4.

Maybe this is a better option

Might need to go in the dark wash in the washing machine.

If you turned around the first one you showed I think it would be a better choice than this. I turned around the shirt the MMS238 came with and zipped up the jacket just far enough to cover any red. It looks fine. Open jacket needs a different shirt. The big thing about that gray shirt he wears, aside from the intricate print, is that it has a very narrow collar, like the first one you showed. This one is too thick and rides too high on the neck. It works in a pinch of course, but then why not just buy a readily available T2 shirt that is already pretty accurate in color. I may actually buy one or two of that first one you showed and give it a shot myself. I can deal with darkening and even doing the print. I did that for the full size shirt on the 1:1 in my avatar. Might be a concern if the shirt actually fits the much bigger muscle bodies though.

One of these days, I'm just going to get around to sewing the shirt myself. Not that you can see them, but I did the shirt and pants for the Reese in my signature, and I originally did the outfit for Sarah as well. A t-shirt isn't that hard. I'd probably even dismantle one of the MMS238 shirts just to get the exact pattern. Even thought about doing a bunch to sell. I did a small section of the print on a piece of paper, scanned it into my computer and then played with the magnification until I got the right size. I was then going to have this company I found online transfer it to a full size t-shirt. That would have given me plenty of material for a bunch of shirts. My motivation waned and I thought, just find a shirt that's close and hand do the pattern on what you can see. STUPID HOT TOYS!!!!!
 
Nice mods to the sculpt Mr EcKo :clap The tanker chase sculpt is the far superior out of this set imo.

Looking at P. mods to the body, made be get round to swapping the chest piece with one from a spare Tech Noir body I had. I also painted the head a bit.

I will keep the bare chested look until the t shirt arrives from China.
 
That's some top work P. :clap The jacket always seemed too small for Arnie in the movie, so the tight look suits it. I must try and find a suitable body for my 238. Arnie was a beast HT you Mofo's!!!

Get a Zod body.
Perfect proportions.
On mine I made the neck thicker, added triceps with miliput and Bvs muscular thighs.
But just Zod is a far more better body (it's basically a taller Arnold body). Modded near tiny stock
Whatever the great mods you can do the mms238 body to me it will always look wrong for that big headsculpt.

Nice to see all these upgraded bodies since the stock body is a joke, even with the neck mods. I remember when I first got him and thought the figure was assembled on a wrong, skinny body- that's how bad it looked.
 
yeah i remember that photo. expressed my worries and was immediately labeled a hater.
funny thing is it didn't look that on first promo photos at all (first page/first post photos) - the jacket was much bigger and the body looked ok.

 
I know this is not a sales thread, but a anyone in Europe looking for this one? I'll be selling mine. It's like new, barely displayed, apart from the collar is modded/cut loose and somehow I just realized that the glasses have broken a temple.
€250 +shipping from Denmark

Got the KP02 body and swapped out the chest pieces, looks much better now.
you might want to cut away lots of inner material of that chest piece to avoid the bubble body effect. of course if it bothers you :)
i did it with mine and will do again.
 
i'm the champion!!!!!!!

yes it's articulated. though less than original, as there is now no ball joint in the head, just a turning around point.

no i don't know why i did it. probably to prove to myself that i've still got it.
