Doubt it, there's a SHF Mace Windu with Samuel L Jackson's likeness.

Anybody that signs on to Star Wars has to give up their likeness for Star Wars merch. George Lucas started doing this way back in 1977.

 

[GasparZizou]

Smart.

Willis being a **** about it?


Diamond Select just made a Butch figure with his likeness.

It's likely, I've never seen Pulp Fiction so I don't know how important Willis is to the overall story, but I would imagine Diamond didn't pay big extra money to him individually for his rights.

The confusion comes in that, some movies have merchandising clauses in the contracts should someone want to pick up the license, but it gets passed over for so long people figure it's not included.

I wouldn't have thought T2 covered everyone like it does until Sideshow pumped out so much stuff, and later NECA, so odds are by the time Pulp came out, it was probably a common practice.

With Die Hard, my guess is it's viewed as too plain of a character. NECA would probably look at McClane like, if we can't sell Rambo, how could we sell this guy. I'm sure we only got Commando Arnold because most of the pieces were there from Dutch.

Never seen pulp fiction? What are you doing with your life? Lol seriously though, watch it.

Finally. Had to buy locally as our postal carrier lost my order from my regular store.

The shot on the left got a really good lighting/angle on the headsculpt..not that there's anything wrong with the one on the right.

What black T-shirt is that?

 

[atexp80]

Cheers. Believe it or not, but I repurposed a Jakks Pacific Tactical Batsuit cape after I removed and replaced it and turned it into a shirt. Just flipped it inside out and trimmed to shape. Does the trick for now until I can get something with a slightly less prominent texture.

Just read a new interview by James Cameron where he said Terminator 6 will be more upbeat, cheerful and colorful.

Of course, what every Terminator film needs.

 

[a-dev]

I don't even know what to think anymore.

Terminator 6 will be more upbeat, cheerful and colorful.

Aaaand just found out my Terminator 2 Endoarm Ultimate Edition Bluray was just cancelled by Amazon. As in, they're not going to release it.

This franchise, man...

The Terminator needs to be louder, angrier and have access to a time machine.

 

[a-dev]

I think T2 was as upbeat, cheerful and colorful as this franchise could get away with. Anything further than that and you have parodies like T3 and Genisys. And then why not just go make the Genisys sequels that were planned? Everything presumptuously disregards the previous film(s) these days like as though this new one will definitely be the film that rights the ship and then nope, just more ***t.

 

[ShadowGuardian]

This is why this franchise needs to be shelved along with Alien. They got a couple great ones in and then just dove into mediocroty - crap. It's time has gone.

Mine too, but I thought they just couldn't get enough to fill orders. Why was it cancelled?

 

[NosferatuBill36]

Nope. Had plenty of orders and were even sold out in most places. But apparently they were having production problems at the plant. Not sure if it had to do with the plastic they were using or something else, but definitely production problems.

So rather than fix it, they scrapped the entire thing.

This, along with the fact that there are issues with the Ultimate 4k Edition of T2, makes me pretty damn sad.

Not sure why they posted sideways... but I modded my 1/4 NECA Terminator head. I need to fix it up a tad bit, but I'm pretty happy with it. Goal was the lobby scene, the battle damage before the T1000 really messed him up.

Wow! That battle damage looks stunning! I wish we got an official BD head though...
