Freaks and, of course, my Terminator-brothers, I salute you again!
A little bit late to the party but it's still better than never.
After Enterbay HD-1004 T-800 Review - here goes the latest SSC Terminator product to date - The Terminator Premium Format Figure from the original 1984 James Cameron movie! *Please note that the switch-out battle damaged portrait head without sunglasses is unique feature for Sideshow Exclusive edition of this statue, it's not included with the regular edition*
English is still not my native language (not a big surprise lol), so I won't say much. This piece is absolutely phenomenal & a must-have for any Terminator-fan & statue collector.
The likeness, the pose, the clothes, overall presence - everything is well worth the price here. I was pleasantly surprised by the paint apps on that one. Still not the best quality on the market but it's a damn' fine painted PFF (except for the battle-damaged eye on the exclusive edition head)! And big thanks goes to Sideshow for print on the t-shirt! Hardcore fans will be extremely pleased with that nice addition to the final product!
There is a few cons from my point of view though.
First of all it's the weapons. Looks OK on the shelve & you won't have any problems with identifying AR-18 & SPAS-12 here, but from the closer look it looks really weak & way too schematic. It could and it should have been better. Much better.
Rounds on the floor of the stand look like a cigarette butts. Again, I doubt anyone will have problem with that without nitpicking or closer look but it's something that must be done better when we are talking about product with a "premium format" in the title, with a pretty much serious price.
And, of course, gotta love "trademark" SSC quality control.
Paint flaws, damage, "leaning" pieces & etc. You can get the whole package here. So "shop smart. Shop S-Mart. YOU GOT THAT????!!!!!!!"
But if you ask me - it's well worth both the money & the risk with QC problems (still, not much to worry about because thank God, SSC customer support is much better than their QC). IT IS The Terminator & if you are into 1/4 scale - I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Not to mention that if you are the original 1984 movie fan - you'll get multiple orgasms.
And now enough talk and let the pics speak louder than words.
