Which PF has the best likness of Arnold

[JAWS]

I know Dutch is not out yet but I decided to include him anyways.

I think the T2 PF has the best likeness. The squinty eyes were executed perfectly. The Dutch likeness is very good aswell, but something about it looks off.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

i'd order them as:

Dutch
Terminator 1
Conan
T2

 

[sarakawa]

dutch
t2
t1
conan

I voted T2 Because I have not seen Dutch in hand yet but Man Dutch is Dead on IMO.

T2 looked amazing in person. One of the best sculpts by SS ever.

T1 is great but lacks just a little compared to his older self.

Conan is really amazing in person also. I thing if his expression was a little more angry it could be the best. Also due to the fact he is in war paint the detail of the face is washed out. However the body sculpt is dead on and is the best human body scult SS has done. IMO.

T-2 is just amazing. However, it seems to me Dutch is even better.

Trevor is just amazing when it comes to Arnie likeness....but I have to give praise to Andy Bergholtz for Conan. It is also an amazing piece.

So, Ducth is the best for me with T-2 with a very close, very close second...

But I think T-1 is the best overall piece......

But I think T-1 is the best overall piece......

I would agree with that. Everything just comes together with the T1 piece. A great likeness, Great clothing, Great pose. Conan is my Fav Arnold movie and if I had to pick one to keep it would be Conan. But the T1 is the best PF of four. And I have said it before and I will say it again the T1 is the overall best of all the film based PF that SS has done so far.

Here is how it works for me.

T2 has the best likeness, but it's the weakest piece overall. Body proportions are all the way wrong out-of-the-box, pose is not iconic at all (it's OK, but it doesn't screams "Terminator" for me). I'm also not a big fan of the bouffant hair (Arnold had this kind of hairstyle in some T2 scenes though).
But when it comes to pure likeness & details - it's a winner.

Conan headsculpt has the weakest likeness from the whole list (still I gotta say that Andy Bergholtz did some absolutely fantastic job on it too) but for me it's the best piece when it comes to the overall character representation. The pose is most iconic you can only imagine (same goes to the moment that was captured), paint apps is pretty impressive on that one too (much better than on T2 PF, which has the weakest paintjob from the whole list, not including Dutch of course) & what's the strongest part is the body sculpt & proportions. It's Arnold-Conan right there. I also love the diorama feeling of the whole statue. Still gotta admit that Arnold itself is a little bit small for 1/4 scale (still nothing criminal, it doesn't look like it's in 1/5 scale or something).

T1 PF has the best paint apps to date, great pose (still, matter of taste, some folks hate the pose), good clothes, very close body proportions & phenomenal headsculpt by Trevor Grove. But then again it is still not as good as T2 headsculpt for me. When I look at T2 headsculpt I have a feeling that he captured even his wrinkles right lol But they are really close + sculpt of the hair is much more impressive on T1. Again, from overall quality/character representation point of view T1 is light years away from T2 (not in favor of T2 of course).

And Dutch is somewhere in the middle. It's great, no doubt, and the paint apps will be improved even more (I guess & I hope lol), but the body sculpt looks a little bit exaggerated, proportions could have been much better & for me it's not as good overall as T1 PF or Conan PF. Still very promising product.

Can't really disagree with anything you said. I won't argue to much one way or the other about Dutch until I see the final product/in hand photos.

I say Dutch but, that's a prototype paint job compared to factory paint aps. All have his likeness.

 

[JAWS]

Now I wish I voted for Conan. Poor guy has no votes

 

[karamazov80]

I think the Conan is pretty good, but suffers from being a bit of a "soft" sculpt in comparison to the others. One thing that might be better if we want to really compare the sculpts is to show pictures of the prototypes for each piece in the first post, because then you can really see how good the sculpt can look when painted up professionally. At that point, you are better comparing apples to apples. Or, it might be useful to just show unpainted sculpts. When you look at some of the production paint work, well. . .it can be hit or miss. As others have said, the T1 production paint work is quite good, while T2 and Conan are less so, and all we've seen from Dutch is the prototype.

 

[Balsquat]

Voted Conan, though they all win in the likeness department.

 

[adegregorio]

That T2 looks eerrily real!

 

[a-dev]

Dutch
T2 (for that expression)
T1
Conan

 

[karamazov80]

I really don't see a clear winner, as I think they're all quite good.

 

[a-dev]

Unless the final paint comes out crap Dutch is flawless IMO - talking about the headsculpt specifically

 

[nothingface35]

I think the T2 Arnold has the best likeness, however, is not my favorite statue and is actually my least favorite. But, it does look the most like Arnie.

 

[JAWS]

I really don't see a clear winner, as I think they're all quite good.

That's how I feel. I am amazed at how well all the Arnie statues came out. I was just wondering what others thought. Because as great as they all are there is just something about that T2.
