I hate to even say it but I showed one of my co-workers this statue. He was a pretty hardcore collector back in the day and he just busted out laughing. Him and I both came to the conclusion that it looks like an Arnold stunt double that should be only put on camera from long distances in blurry out of focus shots. That is the only way this piece could pass for Arnold, in terms of the face sculpt. I hate to say it but its laughable when you look at his face and nearly looks like a cheap terminator knock-off movie that was made in another country.

Cool, thanks for coming out.

Wow that is a whole lot of dislike for this statue. I went back and read some of the hate this one has been getting and I just don't see it. I mean sure it doesn't look EXACTLY like him but jeeez it's pretty damn close. That said there is an easy fix and its buy it if you like it and don't if you don't.

Cool, thanks for coming out.

The rest of the statue looks great, IMO but the face sculpt....GAH...sorry it looks nothing like Arnold to me. I am hoping that sideshow fixes its issues before the release.

Well said, bro!

Is the sculpt perfect? Hell no. Could it be better? Of course. To say it looks nothing like Arnold is just plain ridiculous. You don't like the sculpt, thats fine but take it easy in the exaggeration at least. The likeness is very good. Sideshow just has their own style, thats all.

Plenty of sideshow pieces that I LOVE and think they look exactly how they are supposed to look. I do not just randomly hate on sideshow pieces to poke fun at them. It takes a big screw up for my to dis something sideshow puts out because I have a lot of respect for the company. Its just an opinion that I posted about how I feel about the face sculpt. I have not read this thread but I have to assume many people agree with me just by your post's alone. I think true terminator fans won't care so much but if someone wants $350 worth of accuracy in the face, I think they are SOL with this piece if the prototype looks anything like this.

well hopefully the issue you and others see with the face sculpt will be fixed for ya'll to join the party. For the rest congrats on getting such a sweet statue!

lol I hear ya Darth...


To each their own...I'm just glad I personally don't see the issues because I just watched Terminator through Netflix and felt like I had to have this statue because it is a FANTASTIC representation of that scene where he's just walking down corridors blasting folks. Totally win IMO.

Just showed my wife with no input from me, she said it looks nothing like him. Funny that random people who know nothing about the statue will agree with me but eh...I am not trying to get in an argument with you, I was pointing out how I felt about the piece ( is this not what discussion threads are for). Ive been on tons of threads where people dis a piece I like.....I take it for what its worth and move on. I don't get butt hurt over someone disliking something that I think is an impressive piece.

Thats a GREAT point. Sure things could have been done different that may have better represented T1, but "it doesn't even look like him"...that is a bit much. I show that to anyone who has ever seen the terminator and they will more than likely know it's Arnold. That said it really doesn't matter either way. We each have our own opinions and for those of us who are happy with this piece overall can totally geek out till it comes out.

 

[Voorhees27]

Butt hurt? All I said was you were exaggerating, thats all.

Many people HATE the HT P1 because of how inaccurate it is....I still love mine either way( I am a hardcore predator fan also). I guess me not being as big as a terminator fan, if the piece is not much closer to being accurate in the face, its an easy pass for me.

You sure seem like you got plenty bent out of shape over an opinion on a discussion thread.....

Totally agree and I don't think anyone is trying to argue...but debate what's being said.

This is what I hear...the side that likes the statue can see some faults but are happy with the overall design of the statue. That seems pretty fair in that it recognizes the good and bad in the statue.

The side that doesn't like his head sculpt think it looks NOTHING like arnold. Just from a logical standpoint the "looks nothing like him" is a much more drastic claim that doesn't recognize any good at all in the statue. There is obviously a HUGE gap in between the two thoughts so everyone sharing their thoughts are purely that.

I know what I think and nothing anyone else says is going to alter my perspective same vice versa for others so we can all feel/say what we want and it shouldn't bother anyone else because we aren't all the same. Just be respectful of others opinions at the same time obviously.
