Cancelled my EX. Figure its better to lose $30 deposit than to spend another $300-$400 with shipping......
Theres just way too much stuff. Cant keep up and also running out of room and money!
Sorry T1 Arnie but you get chop this time............

If you didn't catch it, a Sideshow VIP confirmed that the eye will not, in fact, light up.

Which I'm fine with personally. In fact, I prefer it.

 

[Barbarian]

Well, they said that I was getting the only light-up eye, and I'm fine with that.

Retarded choice...

Not too excited about this piece now after getting enterbays T2 which makes the T2 PF look tacky. I will still get it mind you.

It would be extremely easy to do too. Ive only just got into putting LEDs and stuff into my customs and its soooo cheap, simple and easy to do. I dont get why they arent including it.

positives and negatives about both pieces.

Probably because it is much cheaper and easier not to do it. And they figured the costs outweigh the benefits here.

Err no. I can't find any negatives with enterbays what-so-ever. Where as Sideshows doesn't really have any positives. The only positive is the face sculpt but its buried under such crap factory paint that its not really a positive at all.

That's your opinion and your entitled to it. I for one prefer statues over figures, all day long. The uneven leg thing on the EB is quite a serious detractor. I don't know about you but when i spend $400 on an action figure the last thing i want to do is try correct the length of the legs according to an online tutorial. and talking about fixes, I would much rather bulk up the T-800 PF using tissue paper with little to no risk as opposed to risking destroying the knee joints of a HIGH-END action figure. The face sculpt on the enterbay looks KILLER with the glasses on, but when they're removed, it looks more like the computer generated face that played Arnold in the end of Terminator 3. Just doesn't capture Arnold as i hoped it would. Still huge step up over the HT figure. I said this before and i'll say it again, with the glasses removed, i prefer Trevor Groves head sculpt over the EB t-800. Trevors sculpt just captures Arnold better... even with the average paint app. Yes your are correct that you cannot compare the paint work on the head sculpts. Similar to hot toys, people are mesmerized and slightly blinded by high end finishes. They can take a sculpt from a 7.5/10 to a 9.5/10 in an instant. Enterbay's high end finish is much more impressive than the head sculpt it's self. Both pieces have positives and negatives, you just gotta remove your head from outta your behind to see them.

Mine didn't have the leg issue so to me EB kicks the SS PF into last week. To me the likeness is the strongest we've seen and as to preferring statues, I generally do as well but SS's just don't cut it anymore.

 

[Zerox_dogma]

Somebody can confirm the shipping (release) day please. 

 

[JAWS]

Perhaps this has been discussed already but I was at the SS site and I could find the EX of the Terminator PF but not the reg edition. I searched for it but no luck. I wanted to see the 360 view with glasses on. So did SS decided to just go with the EX??
