Pre-order Hot Toys John Connor now! Best Bale Yet!

[bran-chan]

I definately pre-ordered. Like others said, it can always be cancelled.

It's so frustrating coming to this board.

I have no faith in McG and I'm not that big a fan of the Terminator franchise anyway. The teaser picture of Connor didn't really do anything for me either - looked like just another soldier dude.

But seeing the full pictures I was blown away - a great Bale sculpt, and a pretty cool costume. Even if the movie is disappointing I'd still want this figure.

Then I come here and incomprehensibly people are dissing the head sculpt? I I can't see how anyone who has even the remotest idea of what Bale looks like can say this doesn't look like him.

You're not alone. When I compare these 'prototype' sculpts to say the USCMs, the sculpts are worlds apart.

From the new Hot Toys Newsletter:

Many of you may think this is Yulli's work, but it is NOT! Today, we are delighted to introduce our new sculptor – Weapon X to all of you! Say welcome to him as he has became one of our team members. Surprisingly, his first head sculpture caused a great "chemical reaction" when it has been handed over to JC Hong! Look at his facial texture on those pictures, you kinda believe they are movie stills from T4.

Another secret about this project – this is the ONLY head sculpture which is officially approved by Christian Bale and McG (the director of Terminator Salvation) so far. You may think this is easy for us because we have already done Batman...But in this time, all involved parties are very particular to this John Connor head sculpt, perfection is a must! Hot Toys finally got the recognition from the talent and be able to present this officially approved head sculpt to our fans.

Besides the stunning, real-like Bale head sculpt, we noticed fans almost overlook our highly detailed costume recently, don't forget each of our collectible's costume is made with great precision, we're not only focusing the head sculpt! This 1/6 John Connor also comes with highly detailed gear set, weapons and a worn military suit, which are all what we good at! We believe that both Military fans and MMS fans will love him!

No matter you like Bale or not, you just can't skip John Connor from your Terminator collection!

Like that last part.

He sounds more like a porn star than a sculptor.

There have been I think 1 or 2 people that have said the likeness is not there, my issue was more with poor lighting to the eyes. I see it now, the sculpt is really well done. Even when I saw the very first proto I recognized Bale and yes it is the best Bale sculpt out there now so ........

I can't believe how much like a real person that figure looks like.

The "leather" jacket is the most realistic I've ever seen in that scale.

 

[OSCORP]

Having no interest in this figure i can say i'm still blown away. And that says something i think.

The ones that don't think it looks like Bale are just wrong end of story.

No doubt, with each release they just keep pushing the envelope.

They have no choice really and we can kinda thank Enterbay for that. Competition is a wonderful thing.

 

[BuDDaH]

That is a nice Fig ... I will preorder it for sure

 

[Morbach]

dude,me and you both were loving that Godfather and now they do this! How can I not be in love they just keep getting better. The only downfall is that they might start asking for higher prices cause their quality is through the roof

Nope and i'll tell you why ................. ENTERBAY! Honestly I never thought I would say this but we can thank EB for both better quality and a levelled out price. Sure there is evidence of an inflated price but after TDK prices seem to have come down a bit. T-700 $115, Connor $135, not bad.

Just my 2 cents.
