Terminator 1 Premium Format

My theory:
SS knew there WILL IN FACT BE a Hot Toys 12" release of this version,
so SS put this PF on the fast track, not caring so much about quality as timing;
while the excitement about the HT Tech-Noir version was still fresh,
and while they knew the little fishies would bite. SS is just capitalizing on the hungry gap
between HT versions, and it shows.
If it were not so obviously parasitic of them, I would almost feel embarrassment on their behalf,
releasing such a crappy item at such a high price. Their motives are quite transparent to me.

In a few months or perhaps a year, HT will release a near-perfect 12" version,
and a lot of people will slowly begin to feel like suckers.
I'm glad I won't be one of them.

Shame on you Sideshow.

I won't feel like a sucker! cos no matter how "near-perfect" the HT version is, i wouldn't pick it over the PF. 12" is just too small to go in my display.

The gap on the left is for this T1 PF i'm just not that into 12" figs.

Here we go again. You don't like this PF. Fine. Many of us here do like it and will be getting it.

And your "theory"

is a fail.

Go BIG or FAIL!!

Looking at this statue it's not bad, just wish they added more battle damage and hopefully the light up function will go in.

That post comes of as pure HT fanboyism. To me at least.

That's alright then.

I have to watch that kind of stuff, though to be honest it's not bad, and my girlfriend will not watch my "crap" programmes or films

Did you come up with this theory ******* to your HT T1 in your HotToys underoos?

FYI fanboy, HT's version of this was released YEARS ago, and Sideshow's Arnold likeness spanks that figure's like a readheaded stepchild.

Don't worry, Homie! We know the cool collectors from all the posers out there.

Ok, so I'm a HT 'fanboy' at age 46...
If some of you are SS fanboys, who cares? Each to their own preference.
SS has done some amazing work; I own quite a bit of it.
I just don't think this PF qualifies as 'great'.
Change the head, and add 45 pounds of extra body mass, and then maybe.

 

[Anthrapoid]

Don't worry, Homie! We know the cool collectors from all the posers out there.

Also- do you really think being a 'cool collector' is the point?... I'll pass.

Wow. That's actually pretty impressive. Kudos!
