We GOT SARAH CONNOR! Official Thread.

What does your tracking info say? Is it "out for delivery"?

Quantum Delivery Notice says: delivery May 8

But UPS site says: Billing info received. No further update as of this morning.

But it is my hope its on the truck today.

I would call UPS. Sometimes the shipping notice is printed out and sent to UPS before they pick up the item. If it doesn't read "out for delivery" it either wasn't updated at UPS or they didn't pick it up yet..

 

[MaulFan]

I wouldn't be too worried since it's not just an isolated incident, which is why I wanted to inquire if anyone else had the problem, if we're all in the same boat, it's either a mass issue in the UPS system, or the packages got put in the system late yesterday and pickup is today.

But it is my hope its on the truck today.

my cousin said he got this same information yesterday. he also said it was unusual because he normally gets four e-mails but for sara he only got one. he said it's supposed to be delivered friday.

he feels it may be due to either a shorthanded situation at sideshow or they are being rigorous with quality control before shipping. he's hoping for qc.

UPDATE: now sara is supposed to be delivered monday. he said his account says 'shipped'.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Well UPS has updated the site as of NOW. Still no delivery scheduled. Only...

Billing info received

I do believe my Sarah has not yet been picked up... otherwise I would expect an email from UPS.

Oh well, certainly tomorrow I should get her.

 

[MaulFan]

Well, little dissappointed. Sarah didn't ship until tonight, and now she's rescheduled for Monday instead of Friday, oh well, patience is a virtue right.

 

[ragacin]

Mine is due Friday 5-11.

Well, I thought someone else (with a working camera) would have posted by now, but mine arrived a couple of hours ago. She looks very good, the glasses are a hoot, the old-style box is so black it would be at home with a bunch of SW30th boxes. The only thing that surprises me is that they've noted Trevor's first release by not noting it. They've stopped listing the sculptor. Very McFarlane-like of them.

Oh well. Congrats Trevolver. She's a winner.

Sorry about the camera, guys. It died once, came back, and then died big-time right after I shot the pictures in my banner. Working on replacing it.

 

[pjam]

Oh well. Congrats Trevolver. She's a winner.

If Gruff says she's winner, She IS a winner! Thanks Gruff!

 

[Wor-Gar]

SHE'S HERE...

 

[Wor-Gar]

SHE'S HERE......


Fresh from box, NO FUTZ -- No flash/flash...

Backside:

Trev's headsculpt:

Matsuda:

Out of the box, she's pretty cool. Have to investigate more before a review can formulate. Boots suck though. Glasses are cool. Hat sucks, good for Quint maybe if bleached. Vest has crazy detail.

Best part by far: the head sculpt!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[pjam]

She looks GOOD WG! Even through a macro lens... Outfit seems pretty decent too and they actually made some cool looking matsudas, kudos to SSc for that. Thanks Trev and WG!

Congrats on being the first to post pics!

Like the rearview too!

Mini-Review: SARAH CONNOR

I’ve waited years for her. Even planned my own custom. Now she’s here. OVERALL: I’m happy with it.

The GOOD:

The head sculpt ROCKS! Looks amazing. As always, Trevor never lets us down. Doesn’t look bobble-heady to me at all. Paintwise, skin tone is nice, eyes look great, but the lips are a bit bright with some girly lipstick... but that can be fixed easily enough.

Surprisingly, the arms work fine. Yeah, they’re cut-joint but they don’t look like "sticks" relative to her body. I was worried about the arms but I see no reason to change them.

The outfit is GREAT! The VEST is highly detailed – I dread taking it off. The PANTS are nice too. There’s several BELTS and all are great, even the knife sheath.

The accessories are solid: rifle, knife, pistol. The glasses are cool. My only issue with them is that brown paint has been applied to the lenses – seems a bit odd. And they lenses could be a lot shinier.

OK, the BAD:

The BOOTS are pretty cheap looking. And the CAP is nicely constructed but it isn’t Sarah’s SWAT cap. It barely fits on her head, and when it does the brim covers her face/glasses. I’m thinking of sticking a piece of cardboard or plastic in the front to give it that SWAT look; may help. Of course, the missing WATCH is an extra aggravation. Easy to replace, and it will cover one wrist joint at least. Still…

I believe once FUTZED, she’ll really rock. It’s a great figure overall, and I’m very happy with it… even with the customizing that must be done to get her right. Of course, the whole Terminator line has been that way so its no surprise.

Great review WG! Overall better than I expected. To me the HS is MOST important, without that you have no Sarah. Arms and lollipop head issues a plus as they seem to be in check here, the rest is easily workable, paint, etc for most of us. I just have to figure out how to undress her for a Pesc Sarah with all that webbing...

 

[Wor-Gar]

And of course, a quick something from the KITCHEN...

Been awhile since I've done this.

BTW, is this a new female body? Its very poseable. I quite like it.

 

[EVILFACE]

A figure that needs some tweaks, but like T800 and T1000, well worth the $50.

 

[Bonehead15]

Where's her watch?

 

[Mookeylama]

WOOHOO! thanks for the review Wor. TREV'S sculpt rocks and paint apps aren't too bad. i have a pair of small black leather boots i got somewhere that should work nicely. also have a BBI LAPD Officer Sommers coming as a bod replacement. have to switch to small breast plate but the rubber arms should look good.

 

[dekadentdave]

Gads, what's with the pruned lips? I know Linda Hamilton was a smoker but she looks like she's been smoking 2 packs a day and has prematurely aged to that of an 80 year-old.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Thanks guys.

Actually I think she did have those crazy "pruned" lips -- remember the asylum? I just think the shade of lipstick SS chose is a little cheery (read: whory).
