[EVILFACE]

Eh, she doesn't look to flattering in those shots. The T-1000 head though, looks awesome.

[plasmid303]

On principle, I should be against HT screwing people over with a second Sarah Connor that is an intrinsically required purchase if you really like the T1000 character... which means you'll want that extra damaged head sculpt.

...but the new Sarah sculpt is weaker than the first one in my opinion. Kinda balances things out.

[kl241]

The T-1000 Donut Hole Head on Sarah Connor's body?!?!? This SHOULD have been a DX T-1000 and the long rooted hair Sarah Connor head should have come with the regular SC. Hot Toys really humped the bunk on this one. :mad:

Also Linda doesn't have red hair it should be sandy blonde/brown.

[firefly2121]

Sarah's head sculpt looks off, she looks more like Axel Rose than Linda Hamilton...but that T-1000 head is awesome...

[paulcarson]

That T1000 head is awesome ! so when is Toy Fair again ?

[Minimodel]

These headsculpts keep getting better....although that needs a little work for Linda Hamilton thats perfect for a generic Female.The T-1000 head is superb.

[Centrocal]

T-1000 ears are sticking out a little, kinda looks like Legolas

Is Sideshow selling this?

[eighthsamurai]

don't like the sarah, but if that's what they can do with robbie, can't wait for the regular T-1000 release.

[kliqonmonks777]

Absolutely awesome sucks about edition size, its totally going to be scalped on ebay...

It's a fixed neck head sculpt.... For I assume a TT narrow shoulder body that T-1000 in police uniform will be released.... So you cannot fit it to Sarah's body..

Didn't know Sarah was a tranny. :lol

[Glennfett]

just seen it on their facebook page!!!
definately Axl Rose in there somewhere :P

good catch. which makes it less likely they'll repackage this head with the regular T-1000. which would SUCK coz i have no interest in buying this fugly sarah just to get that head.

[Master Wayne]

I guess I'm alone on this one, but I think this Sarah looks better than the first release. I think it's because this is the climatic steel mill look, which is where my head goes when I think of Sarah Connor from the second film. I also like that you could easily turn her into human Sarah by removing the bullet hole and glitching boots.

The T-1000 head is superb! :clap Shape of the hole seems a little off, but the likeness is one of the best I've ever seen!

[GrayWolf87]

Dunno about the miss Connor sculpt. Hair looks pretty good. That T-1000 sculpt though looks great. Cannot wait for the T-1000. Wont be getting this though. Even if it wasnt a convention exclusive

[DinoLast]

So I guess Hot Toys should go back to expressionless sculpts?
Damned if they do, Damned if they don't

[Master Wayne]

I like the sculpt. Kind of surprised more folks here don't like it as well. Sarah sports that PO'd face through the whole movie anyway.
I think it's a nice change from the neutral emotionless face sculpts we're used to getting.

[MaulFan]

I have no doubts this T-1000 head, which looks fantastic, will only be found with this Sarah figure.

This release is filled with annoyances though. The T-1000 head sucks for anyone who can't get this figure because they'll never have that head because of it being rarer than standard MMS figures. The Sarah itself being almost the exact same figure as the first release just with a more appropriate head sucks because it's pretty much the version that should have come out all along and instead it's the rare one and the sucky one is the more easily had one.

[eighthsamurai]

i dig the expression for sure. and definitely nice to see them try something different. but i think my dislike comes more from likeness than expression. they'll probably tweak it but i see less linda hamilton than the first release. but likeness is one of those odd things 50% of people will see in a fig, and the other 50 flatout won't be able to.

[DiFabio]

Meh, I think this looks like crap. I'm glad it's an exclusive.

There are two things that I like from this set. The doughnut T-1000 head sculpt and the boots/base. That's it. Like I said earlier, what an obscure choice for a figure. Why not an exclusive John Connor or a Pescadero Sarah Connor? No, a lame variation of Sarah Connor with a T-1000 head boot.

Obviously the selling point of this figure is that T-1000 head, but what am I supposed to do with it? I'm not putting it on that Sarah Connor body. 1.) In the scene where he gets shot in the back by the real Sarah, he doesn't have that head and 2.) This version of him happens much earlier when Connor blasts him in the head while he's in full uniform.

So they want us to buy this crap figure for two heads. One that should have been included with the V1 Sarah Connor (I'm still baffled that they'd make VARIATIONS of Sarah Connor before the T-800 or T-1000) and the other that should be included with the upcoming T-1000 figure.

When I see the T-1000 head on ebay, I'll be prepared to pay a high price for it. Sill this would have been ideal for a regular MMS T-1000 or an MMS DX T-1000.

____in Hot Toys.

[EVILFACE]

Sucky one? I would say the regular Sarah head looks better than this SDCC version.

[eighthsamurai]

Sucky one? I would say the regular Sarah head looks better than this SDCC version.

i have to agree with that. i'm kinda glad this exclusive isn't a ton better than the earlier fig. the real hair while a nice touch just doesn't look the right colour, and too clean.

[MaulFan]

The side part is what throws the hair off the most for me, but it being down makes it win, I like the new head better than pretending the ponytail head is Sarah from the Steel Mill.

Hopefully HT announcing these today will mean a Sideshow announcement in tonight's newsletter.

[Darkseed]

I like the rooted hair, I like the facial expression, I like the stand and I like the T-1000 sculpt.

I don't like the Linda Hamilton sculpt and I wonder why they mixed the two. The Robert Patrick T-1000 sculpt will look "odd" on a female body. It is a cool sculpt but why add it as an accessory. I applaud HT for being creative but in this case I am not certain I like it :dunno

[darren1228]

Numbers for the Tokyo toy fair. Pretty sure SDCC and other toy fairs will have this available as well.

[karamazov80]

Damn. I'm tempted just for that T-1000 head sculpt.

T-1000's head/neck is meant for a TTM body.... like the just released TTM-14

[EVILFACE]

That's a true type? Never seen them before.

[Snake Eater]

Love the whole package, but the T1000 head sculpt is not 'blown out' sideways enough.

[Master Wayne]

Ron, I have to fire you.

[Legion]

Hang on does this mean we'll won't get that sculpt with the T-1000? Surely they'll include it if they do a bd version...?

It looks great though I like the hair, love the melted boots, not sure on the face sculpt. Most likely it'll be tweaked though. Usually I prefer Yulli's work, what else has Jeon Young Tae done?

Also I see potential to convert the shotgun into the stakegun for Blade :D

[Hydeous]

I think this is the only interesting exclusive from the bunch.

Im guessing since the t 1000 head wont fit on that body, its pretty much a given that they are gonna release a t 1000 figure. That way that head can be a bonus of some sort.

but yeah, I agree. Their marketing strategy is :cuckoo: this time around

[Darkseed]

I agree. Their marketing strategy is :cuckoo: this time around

I changed my stance, it is a great marketing strategy. I doubt this T-1000 sculpt will be included with any other T-1000 release. That said, I am certain the next T-1000 will have a "battle-damaged" version just not this one. Therefore, buy this figure to get the exclusive head sculpt or miss out. It definately makes this a "must have" figure.

[galactiboy]

I'll be getting this... I skipped on the first Sarah, but like this one better overall. And the extra head is just a sweet bonus :rock

[Matt13]

I don't mind that the donut head is with this at all, I just hope the figure isn't that limited and people can actually get them at a reasonable price.

[galactiboy]

Sounds like Sideshow will also be selling them... but be prepared for a quick sell-out and high secondary market prices :lecture

That's what I'm thinking. If I get T-1000 at all, I want to display him with this head. I'm sure the other version will have the regular and "split open" head, and probably another head with the biker helmet (maybe the helmet will fit over the regular head). But the one with the shotgun whole blown through it is the one to display.

Hard to get mad at HT for being savvy business people. I just pray that these are released in large enough supply to meet demand. . .otherwise, I'll just pass on the T-1000 altogether.

[dcflake]

Why did this have to be an exclusive?! I think it looks so cool and is a brilliant idea. admittedly, I don't see much of Hamilton in the sculpt but the T 1000 head looks amazing and is my favourite look of the T 1000 battle damaged (apart from completly blown apart).

I'm very disapointed.

[Buttmunch]

I'm all over this figure. I like the idea of it. I like the accessories. I just don't like that its a limited exclusive. I just pray Sideshow gets offered enough of these (like at least 500 of their own if not 1000, get it? T-1000? :lol). I would have gotten this without the T-1000 head, but if I can get it, its an awesome bonus.

I would think this all but confirms the T-1000 will be DX04. I could see them not wanting to add ERS to this donut head so maybe that was their thinking adding it with this? But I can definately see a non-BD head having PERS. Perhaps even a split head with ERS? Arnold's eyes were never really important to his character, but the T-1000's expressions are usually all done with his eyes. So this would be a perfect figure to actually have a blank expression.

[DinoLast]

I guess you could use that T-1000 head on an old Sideshow T-1000. Then you could keep it when you get your complete Hot Toys T-1000

[karamazov80]

Though I agree that shifty eyes better fits the T-1000 than T-800, I don't know if he is popular enough to warrant a DX release. . .

I guess you could use that T-1000 head on an old Sideshow T-1000. Then you could keep it when you get your complete Hot Toys T-1000
Or just buy some Dragon police uniform and stick it on a True Type.

[small_studios]

Im hoping to snag one of these if it is indeed very limited.

[pjam]

Sarah sculpt is a FAIL. Not Linda, I'm surprised Yulli did this, but I expect tweaks to follow, but the Robert Patrick sculpt is awesome.

What sucks is that they included a T-1000 blow out head with this.

[Matt S]

Ah man...would like to get this....dont like the uber limited nature....

[galactiboy]

It really is odd having the T-1000 head come with what is essentially a Sarah Connor V2. I'm not fully remembering the scene, but the T-1000 is still in the cop uniform when he gets shot through the head, not in some kind of mid-Sarah transformation?

Pure marketing gimmick. . .as for the Connor likeness, I think it is very good.

[Wor-Gar]

:slap

So this is the plan? I was hoping this line would have all the things I wanted in each character's individual pack. Now more of this 'chase' editions. This is worse than BR Joker. They've incuded a head not as a replacement but as a completely unusable item unless you get the T-1000 figure as well.

I like the hole-head -- but it's not an accurate rep of the scene actually. Hole's not exaggerated enough.

Oh well, I have to think about this now. Alone.

[Khev]

Two Sarah's? Who'd a thought? Man I hope T1 gets the same amount of love....

[Odowankenobi]

I actually like the look of this figure a whole lot more than the first version of Sarah. I'm all over this one. The T-1000 head is just a really nice bonus.

[a-dev]

Far as I'm concerned the more of you that don't like these sculpts and don't like this release strategy the better - more chance of me being able to get one.

I think this looks great. I'm fine with the LH sculpt. It looks like they had to compromise slightly on the T-1000 - it doesn't look completely accurate but I'm sure there was a valid reason in this case to maintain the stability of the head.

[yautja31337]

a low blow by hot toys, but if possible i'll be getting this fig too.

[screamingmetal]

I doubt they'll tweak this sculpt. I don't know when exactly the HK Toy Fair is, but there's just not enough time to sculpt a new head, send it to the licensor for approval, then put it into production. The hair color might get adjusted but that's it.

I'm liking the new Sarah sculpt less, but it's still tempting just to own a End Battle Sarah.

[fantasymaker]

Mmmm......the face and hair are awesome , but i don't see Sarah there.

[Khev]

I wonder if they're going to make us by prego Sarah to get a battle damaged T1 head.

[Ash Housewares]

I think the Hamilton likeness shines here more than the original. I must get this.

[klocket]

Hot Toys has been drinking some of Mattel's Kool Aid...

It's really a dumb to make this head an exclusive with this figure...i see why, but at the same time it's not really a smart move...Hot Toys is making some people mad.

I suspect T-1000 will come with a ton of things, i bet he will be more than worth the money...i don't think there will be 2 versions of him, i think they will load him up with stuff and personally, i don't care about this head, i don't like to display figures in any battle damaged form if at all possible...i prefer the normal movie look, i might add a bullet shot or two but other than that blah...

I feel bad for those of you who will pay the outrageous after market price for this head.

if they do i hope we get the kid who warns them about the coming storm as the exclusive. :pray:

[Platty]

Great figure! Although the Sarah likeness isn't there at all in my opinion. One of the worst likeness attempts i've seen from HT personally.

The star of the show here is the T-1000 head! Shame most of us will never have it. Also the base is pretty awesome. Because you can have 2, maybe the other one is for John :naughty

More than anything, looking at this figure, i'm more pumped about how the T-1000 is going to look.

[galactiboy]

if they do i hope we get the kid who warns them about the coming storm as the exclusive. :pray:

Nah, that will come with Reese. And the Blue coat (post police massacre) will come with the "Bill Paxton" Street Punk figure; which will incidently have a great sculpt for use with your Hudson figure.

It all comes full circle :thud:

[a-dev]

Now, after all the alien stuff, you say this? :)

Fair point. But any compromises on the alien would have been to put in the opening/closing mouth feature that I personally don't think was a sacrifice worth making where it meant such an area vital to the likeness of the Alien would get screwed up.

With this T-1000 they were probably worried that the head would cave in on itself - last thing they want is another kind of DX02 disaster.

[Voorhees27]

I will buy this for the parts I need and then sell the rest of it on Ebay. I'm only intereted in both sculpts. I don't need two ____ing Sarah's in my collection. What a joke.

I guess HT's has really let our positive comments get to their heads. I would die if Sideshow could produce consistent product, I wouldn't own a single HT's item if they did.

I this weren't a Terminator product I wouldn't be wasting my time.

[yautja31337]

Nah, that will come with Reese. And the Blue coat (post police massacre) will come with the "Bill Paxton" Street Punk figure; which will incidently have a great sculpt for use with your Hudson figure.

yeah! :lol its funny how we get suckered into buying the same fig with a slight improvement and a different name.

[wookster]

Well you learn something new!

I just read on another forum (thanks Kujo) that when the T1000 was mimicking Sarah Connor they used Linda Hamiltons twin sister Leslie (I then went away for proof I trust NO ONE!) and found it in a number of places like here (http://www.eeggs.com/items/35377.html) and here (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0357696/), it was done because-
A- it was cool she had a twin and would save some money on compositing 2 Lindas, and...
B- The T1000 would look ever so slightly different.

The idea has been mooted that this looks more like her twin!

For the record I'm loving it.

Sticking with the OG Sarah. Not a big fan of punched doll hair or gimmicks. While this is more scene accurate, the first version is more like the "ultimate" Sarah. Anybody looking at the shelf will have no trouble figuring out who she is anyway.

too true but it would have been nice if we could have gotten another sculpt similar to this new one.

[usswanker]

I would stick with the first one but damn that sucks about getting the T-1000 head with this one! What a way to try and screw us HT! :lol

[snoop101]

Man the t-1000 head looks Incredible. Overall I think this figure is actually pretty cool. Dissapointing its a limited release Though.:gah:

[MarfMaster]

I may try and nab the Sarah headsculpt from this (unlikely), but that's all I really care about.

[DinoLast]

To me it makes perfect sense to include that T-1000 headsculpt with this figure.
It has been put in there to make a final confrontation of the T-1000 vs Sarah display (She's the one who put the hole in his head)
When the actual T-1000 figure comes out, I doubt many of you would have used that sculpt anyway.

I wasn't planning on displaying the eventual T-1000 with a damaged head.

[Platty]

So, if this figure never existed and instead we got the rooted hair with the original Sarah and the T-1000 head with the eventual T-100 release, people would be happier?

I thought this was well known. They mentioned it in the DVD extras; they were filming the scene where they remove the T-800's chip for the reset, and needed a double for Linda's reflection in the mirror, Linda mentioned she had a twin so they filmed her twin copying Linda's movements in a frame that stood in for the mirror. This was done so that a false head could be shown taking the chip out of the skull in the foreground, and Arnold could be seen in the reflection.

[karamazov80]

Two Sarah's? Who'd a thought? Man I hope T1 gets the same amount of love....
I will probably get multiples of any T1 T-800 they release. The anticipation is killing me.


It's really a dumb to make this head an exclusive with this figure...i see why, but at the same time it's not really a smart move...Hot Toys is making some people mad.
In my opinion, a good "exclusive" is something that complements other releases and is cool, but is not essential. Like Sideshow's Luke and Han Storm Troopers last year. This T-1000 head straddles that line. Personally, I think it is pretty essential, but maybe others will disagree and can enjoy the regular and split opened faces by themselves.

Her twin is kind of hot.

[galactiboy]

I will probably get multiples of any T1 T-800 they release. The anticipation is killing me.


For T1 I'll likely only get a Tech Noir T1 as that looks is most different from T2. Already have a great Reese so I'm solid on that.

Hamilton never did much for me, but twins. . . :drool

i said the same about dutch & T2 but i caved in & bought both........:lol

[Ash Housewares]

I'm sure they used a twin for the hospital guard aswell. The one who gets a full house and then loses an eye.

[a-dev]

Hamilton never did much for me, but twins. . . :drool

My girlfriend is a twin. Unfortunately that thing we all think about in regards to twins more than likely will never happen.

[Kuzeh]

Wow!!!
Actually looks really good IMO, not as bad as the previous pic...
but still a bit on the scary side...
Love the hair!
And the T-1000 head is amazing!!! :rock!

i think there was mention of this in the dvd extras about the guard having a twin brother. not really sure though.

[a-dev]

Yeah those guys were in Gremlins 2.

I hope this Sarah Connor/T-1000 can be taken as perhaps increasing the likelihood of John Connor being made. Hes sorta necessary for this scene.

[karamazov80]

My girlfriend is a twin. Unfortunately that thing we all think about in regards to twins more than likely will never happen.

Yeah. Looking at it from the twin's perspective, it is actually very messed up, and probably would only happen for people who have a messed up childhood of some kind. But the chauvinist in me doesn't want to think of all that.

[Rorywan]

you mean these fellas?

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/7029/twins.jpg

Yup, they are real twins saw them in another movie. Gremlins 2 I believe. Kinda ruins the illusion when u know that!
:pfft:

[eighthsamurai]

that still is actually from gremlins 2. when i was watching it again recently, i suddenly realised they were in T2 and got all excited. you're right though, it did ruin the illusion for me :lol

[a-dev]

Yeah. Looking at it from the twin's perspective, it is actually very messed up, and probably would only happen for people who have a messed up childhood of some kind. But the chauvinist in me doesn't want to think of all that.

Sigh. All I can do is plant seeds, and y'know...make sure the twin doesn't hate my guts. :lol They've made jokey comments themselves actually but in reality I can't see that dream being realised :monkey2

Anywho, nice off-topic conversation :D

[mr.thrifty]

I'm digging this version over the first release. extra T-1000 sculpt is a nice bonus.

My bet is that a regular version of the T-1000 will be comming down the line... of course after these have shipped...:lol

[vodoun]

Well you learn something new!

I just read on another forum (thanks Kujo) that when the T1000 was mimicking Sarah Connor they used Linda Hamiltons twin sister Leslie (I then went away for proof I trust NO ONE!) and found it in a number of places like here (http://www.eeggs.com/items/35377.html) and here (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0357696/), it was done because-
A- it was cool she had a twin and would save some money on compositing 2 Lindas, and...
B- The T1000 would look ever so slightly different.

The idea has been mooted that this looks more like her twin!

For the record I'm loving it.

http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk115/DJ-1986/n12895831221_752976_70071.jpg

She was so hot back then. Shame she hasn't aged well to this day. Linda Hamilton has turned into a bad Kirstie Alley with light hair. Oh wait Kirstie Alley has light hair.... I keep picturing her with near black hair.

[The Mike]

I think its funny that people are thinking that HT is including the T-1000 head for Sarah. Its a Bank Robber Joker scenario where they include something for another figure as a bonus accessory, you can use it for Sarah if you want but that isn't the actual intention, its to get those who on the borderline about Sarah to get in for the new T-1000 sculpt.

I like this, better than the first but since I'll be going after the Predator I'll skip this one...

[a-dev]

So, if this figure never existed and instead we got the rooted hair with the original Sarah and the T-1000 head with the eventual T-100 release, people would be happier?

If it weren't a limited exclusive I'd say everyone would be just fine with this. They'd feel safe enough to cancel their order for the standard MMS Sarah...but of course HT doesn't want people doing that.

[karamazov80]

If it weren't a limited exclusive I'd say everyone would be just fine with this.
Eh, I would still be a bit miffed that the essential T-1000 head comes with a figure like this. But, no huge deal. You can re-sell the rest if necessary.

[kl241]

Hong Kong sellers on eBay will probably be parting these out so just pick up the head and call it a day.

[karamazov80]

That would work for me, but I figure the head itself would sell for $70+ even if it was widely released. At that point, you might as well just buy the head, the tail, the whole damn thing.

[Dizzyarse]

Is it just me, or is there a distinct "exorcist" thing going on with this sculpt?
Dizzy

[a-dev]

At that point, you might as well just buy the head, the tail, the whole damn thing.

:lolThank you mr Karamazov...we'll take it under advisement.

[wookster]

I thought this was well known. They mentioned it in the DVD extras; they were filming the scene where they remove the T-800's chip for the reset, and needed a double for Linda's reflection in the mirror, Linda mentioned she had a twin so they filmed her twin copying Linda's movements in a frame that stood in for the mirror. This was done so that a false head could be shown taking the chip out of the skull in the foreground, and Arnold could be seen in the reflection.

Sorry, I'm not that up on T2 I've always been a much bigger fan of the original Terminator, I shall actually have to watch the extras on my T2 dvd now. But I still find it interesting, the thought that the T1000 could mimic incredibly well, but not perfectly.

And as for Kirstie Alley, wasn't there a scene in Cheers where she was having a baby and said she was worried it was twins, Ted Danson says not to worry, he had twins once, best night of his life.
You see, it all goes full circle!

[Darklord Dave]

She looks great - I'm pleased we'll have a real hair Sarah to go with the other one.

And it's perfect for an exclusive - just a variant on a widely released figure. I'm glad HT is doing niche type items like this.

[FLOSI]

HT is making this tough... I was on the fence with the first Sarah but this T-1000 version looks damn cool... The extra head will make this hard to pass up.

Price might dictate quite a bit of course. Sarah can be had for $135, a nice price for a HT fig, while this Con Ex might run close to 200 for non attendees through SS.... at least I'm assuming so.

[Minimodel]

I think this looks a lot like 24s Chloe O'brien.

[a-dev]

Haha, it does kinda. Not too much thankfully. That would be a bad thing.

[a-dev]

Have to say, I know its a pain-in-the-arse release strategy and I am presently living in fear of not getting my preorder in on time, but I'm feeling very enthusiastic about this figure.

Its fully convertible into a normal steel mill Sarah which is exactly what I wanted. The T-1000 aspect is a nice bonus. I'm happy enough with the likeness of LH and the expression doesn't look too Exorcist child in these new pics. The hair is great, if I can move the part over to the middle I will, if not I say meh. I don't really care that it appears to be distinctly red on this figure because it pretty much looked that way in the orange glow of the steel mill. And being a T2 completist I'm keeping my other Sarah order.

Oh and now we know for certain that HT will be borrowing Sideshows method of bullet hit damage for the T-1000.

[Platty]

I think this looks a lot like 24s Chloe O'brien.
She doesn't half pull some stupid faces.

[kl241]

Chloe has that puffer-fish scowl.

[Centrocal]

The T-1000 head has a sculpted neck. You can not connect it to the female true type.

I think Hot Toys decided to go this route because, the standard T-1000 figure is going to have multiple heads ( probably, clean sculpt and split in half ) They could not add a 3rd head without bringing the price up. If they make a V2/DX it could have, neutral head with PERS, Liquid metal head, Motorcycle helmet or smiling sculpt. Whatever they're planning, they felt the only option was to either make it an exclusive or just omit the sculpt.

Anyway Im glad it exist.

[kl241]

I'd rather pay more for an all-in-one DX T-1000 than be forced into buying this crap just to get the donut head.

[SOLIDSNAKE]

wow! in this preview it looks so much better.

The T-1000 bonus head is a must for me.
thank you for the preview wook.

[snoop101]

Id actually be kind of dissapointed if Hot toys made a standard mms T-1000 and then a dx t-1000, because the dx would probably include everything from the first release.

[FLOSI]

Speaking of DX, we should hear something about a 4th release sometime soon.

[Alainator]

I hope this will be available at this year's SDCC. And hope SS will have it for the non-attendee pre-order.

[Buttmunch]

I would definately hate to be a non-attendee this year :lol

I don't see the non-attendees getting very many of these offered. If Sideshow's run is 300 like the Japan run, then only 30-50 will be set aside for non-attendees. Of course 250 for attendees isn't great either :(

Since that Toy Fair is only a week or 2 before SDCC, I would guess that that is indeed when Sideshow will get theirs. I'd expect some info in the newsletter tonight.

This is just a Sarah Connor figure with extra boots and a useless T-1000 head.

Yeah, yeah, I know, this is the only way to get that head for the upcoming T-1000 figure.

For the price of just these heads on ebay, it's probably better to just buy this whole thing.

[DiFabio]

Is it just me or does the entire Sarah Connor figure (her head, body and clothes) look really, I don't know, toy like? I've never seen a Hot Toys figure look this off. The base and boots is the only thing that looks "real".

Her face especially. I mean it's not as extreme as say a Mattel or Hasbro figure but it's pretty damn close. This does not look like a 140 dollar + exclusive to me. Just a figure to get everyone to buy that fantastic T-1000 head.

[LChinoz]

Nope, I think since the likeness is off, the one thing the figure has going for it is the realistic skin on her body and arms. Much less toyish than Silk Spectre.

[Platty]

I think it looks pretty amazing bar the headsculpt. Even that has fantastic qualities though, just look at the rooted hair. Just a shame the sculpt is off.

Pretty much. Buy both, keep the different parts and sell of the duplicates.

It is actually fun despite all of the other nerds there. I just wish I could have the con exclusives sent directly to my house instead of having to go pick them up :lol And no way am I waiting in line to mail them! That line is almost as long as the Hall H line! :lol

Frankly, I'm loving all of the hate for this figure. Means it should be easier to get :yess:

Who am I kidding, you guys always complain but end up buying one anyway :rolleyes:

[Voorhees27]

Pretty much. Buy both, keep the different parts and sell of the duplicates.

Thats what i'm doing. I only need one Sarah ............. the original Sarah beats this one and then some. The T-1000 sculpt is all I want.

[galactiboy]

I didn't really care for the original Sarah... and prefer the look (even though its a bit Exorcist) of this one. So, I'll just stick with this version.

[Legion]

It mentions the hair being 'styled' or something to that effect in the specs, does that mean it'll look a lot different in hand? Going by other figs with hair I mean, I dont have any myself so i'm just wondering why they'd point that out...

[eighthsamurai]

i was thinking they might tweak the sculpt, but with less than 2 months before the convention it's probably already in production. i can't remember the last time i thought a sculpt was so off. shame really since the expression is cool.

the paint does look really good though. but i'm with the guys who are liking v1 over this one - glad i got it early and cheap. however that T1000 head is my favourite of all the different BD he receives throughout the film.

[Buttmunch]

I want 2 Sarah, but I want both of them from the Steel Mill. I don't care as much for the V1 Sniper Sarah. I just wish I could get the V1's expression with the Sarah-1000's hair. I would even want 2 of this Sarah just because the heads would be EXACTLY the same. That is going a bit too far in being a double! :lol

I really wouldn't mind getting a bunch of those floor pieces though! I like how you can customize the look of them.

Still donut head means biker cop outfit .............. does this mean we will get a normal cop and biker cop T-1000 down the road?

[MaulFan]

I think the sculpt looks fine and will look good in hand, I think likeness isn't being helped but the overly lit photos and the incorrect hairstyle of the part and bangs. Not saying she needs to be super shadowed beyond display lighting to look good, but surely in a home more shadows and highlights would show on the portrait than their photos, which is odd as their T-800 photos were some of their best stock phtography.

[Buttmunch]

Offical. Sarah-1000 at SDCC :rock

[Legion]

Everything tends to look better when its in hand photos :)

Especially the ones here they've convinced me to buy more than one fig... :banghead

[MaulFan]

Didn'r realize T-1000 wasn't a Yulli sculpt, no biggy, it looks fine, but I enjoy symetry sometimes and it would have been cool to have the whole T2 line by the same sculptor. My only slight issue with the T-1000 is the eye out of the corner, it's cool, and is definitely meant to capture post-shot when he first looks back at her like "you _____", but for putting him on display, to not have that left eye looking odd to be peaking away oddly, you'd have to pose the head hiding most of the blast out hole, which I don't want to do, I want that thing on full display.

[Voorhees27]

I dunno, for me it was neat seeing Sarah go from Pescadero rags to full blown war gear. She was waiting for that moment and knew what she would wear and stock up with. Imo its VERY important for your T2 setup to have V1. I agree though, the steel mill Sarah would look amazing ................. if you could futz her hair to look right. We'll see.

you know what? if they do both, i'd rather spend money on those and not worry about trying to get this exclusive just for the head. worst comes to worst, and we don't see this head packaged with anything else again, i'll buy an undamaged head on an eventual release on ebay (bound to be MUCH cheaper than the prices this exclusive will go for) and drill that sucker myself :lol

someone else had a good point, that if we see a DX, maybe this head will be PERS. and if it is DX it would justify both normal and biker cop outfits in one package a la DX1.

This is one of few licenses that gets an "I'll take it all" policy with me, though there is a point where releases would be rediculous and I wouldn't bite, like I'm not buying John's foster parents or his mullet friend but pretty much anything based on the 4 main characters I'm game. Hell, if done nicely, I'd take a figure of T-1000 as a checkered floor forming into Robert Patrick.

I know I was kinda hard on HT's this morning and adding a T-1000 sculpt to a friggin Sarah Connor exclusive still doesn't make sense, they're really doing a bang up job. My excitement hasn't altered since back in Jan.

I was BEGGING for a reason to quit 1/6 scale ................. no deal. :dunno

[Buttmunch]

I really would love a frozen biker T-1000 though. I guess a statue would be the way to go on that though.

I really think Sideshow should get into dioramas with Terminator, there are some classic moments they could capture, like frozen T-1000 and you could have Arnie aiming his gone at him and all. I'd buy 'em.

That's why I'm hoping NECA puts out a 12" of their chrome T-1000, it's best to have a mainly statue looking figure for that effect, I'm not sure how HT would even attempt a chrome one trying to stay as articulated figures, and if they did, would it look too jointed, or would they be willing to make a NECA articulated figure. Of course, it also raises, would large numbers of people spend $150 for an all chrome, non-posable figure.

They could probably do a 1/4th Scale Liquid T-1000. As far as the SDCC do we know what day it will be cause I need to rob a bank to get all three exclusives. Anybody want to help me plan the mission. We go 50-50.:nana:

Yeah, good points but imagine they produce something chrome like (not toy chrome like) where he's half way through transformation. Half chromed and half back to cop. Almost a blend. That could merit a $150 price tag.

[Balsquat]

Thats what i'm doing. I only need one Sarah ............. the original Sarah beats this one and then some. The T-1000 sculpt is all I want.

This seems like allot of effort for a t-1000 head. To be honest, the t-1000 looks a bit odd with that left eye looking off to the side. I hope that they make that eye PERS

I don't know, I don't think I'd buy that one. While HT would do it far better than when Kenner did that in '92, I don't think I'd like a figure of him between states, just either full formed or just starting to reform in all chrome but without color or detail really coming through.

It'd be cool if they did manage a chrom figure with switch out head with a hole in it for T-800 to punch through.

Maybe not looking straight ahead, but compared to that shot, the figure eye is a bit too far off to the left, just like that photo would work fine.

See what i mean though, here's an angle to see through the hole, but the left eye looks odd.

You know, the HT figure has a better RP likeness than the movie prop :lol

[Platty]

Don't mean to state the obvious but that debate a few pages back regarding whether it was the figure or the movie still on the Sarah pic can be put to bed.










It was the movie still!

[Balsquat]

Maybe not looking straight ahead, but compared to that shot, the figure eye is a bit too far off to the left, just like that photo would work fine.

See what i mean though, here's an angle to see through the hole, but the left eye looks odd.

Which is an area where I'm all for them taking license. While the robots from T2 have a certain look to them, they were intended to look just like the actors, so since the figures can, I say do it. Same with the BD on T-800, yes take some liberties with things that prosthetics over Arnie's face couldn't achieve, just don't go too far.

[Voorhees27]

:lol Very true.

Yes, PERS woud rock for this head, though be tough to put in there unless more like the Enterbay method for each eye separate.

As for the other comment, it's Shake and Bake, right Roy :rock

Too bad we don't live near each other, I'd get a picture of us like that but with our T-800s in hand instead of fist pumping :lol.

[villainsfan42]

PERS would be an excellent feature on this figure.

no. PERS wouldn't be possible to have on this figure, since PERS is a "parallel eyeball rolling system," which involves having two movable eyes...

since this head has only one eye, it would only need ERS, which would be pretty cool on its own.

[Voorhees27]

The eye looking to the left is perfect.

Agreed. Because I think he did such a damn good job, I think it would be cool to mention his name.

To the left is ok, just slightly less, more like the shot posted a few pages posts back.

What impresses me most about the T-1000 sculpt is the hair is dead on as are his ears. The sculptor nailed Patricks funky ears.

[Voorhees27]

Its a good photo but like you always say, lighting and shade makes a big difference. The image (still) has alot of shade whereas the sculpt has perfect lighting. You need to capture that scene with your photo skills when you get it.

Hey did Sideshow mention how many they'll have of Sarah for preorder?

[Balsquat]

So what's your plan here? Sideshow will only ship FEDEX and customs will be hella expensive.

[tigerknight]

How does the Sideshow Non attendee work? I want to buy this figure and don't want my eyes gouged by ebay scammers.

[villainsfan42]

now that we have this T1000 head, i really hope the official T1000 figure has a regular head, and one of these:

[MaulFan]

I think we will get that head, and that's part of why this head is with the Sarah, to find a way to put out all the different T-1000 heads without going over their 2 per figure they've been going with for releases.

[Voorhees27]

But then they would be milking us like they did with the Joker to end with a DX. I don't want that, if youre gonna make one make it the best. Go all ***** out to the wall, and never look back.

[MaulFan]

Still love the bust for having that head as the Exclusive.

http://www.swmmedia.com/SIDESHOW/T2/42.jpg

[Balsquat]

Yes, let me know if he will be carrying any of the exclusives. From what I have seen he does get most of them. I will keep my figures crossed for you:wink1:

Don't get tempted by ordering from sideshow though, I ordered a Catalog for free and payed $13 customs on a $20 item. Do the math and think about how much Fedex would charge on a $150 dollar figure.:(

Eric is my first plan (fingers crossed) After that i'll use my charm to persuade someone here to help me out. :wink1:

:lol

[Buttmunch]

Its possible if Eric gets this, it will be at a scalper price because he might have to order from Sideshow/HT just like us and not get a deal discount :wink1:

[Balsquat]

Yea, I would expect it to be a bit higher, but not overthetop or Ebayish. Besides, as Canadian, I am already used to paying a bit more for any collectible.

[tigerknight]

Who is this Eric you guys speak of and does he sell to everyone. I ask cause I am interested.

[Centrocal]

Eric from Toys2.net He might have them available

[a-dev]

Must be Toys2.net Eric. Hey if he can get it and I fail to get it via sideshow I'll happily pay his price even if it is high.

[tigerknight]

Thanks guys. I didn't know of this site.

[marker2037]

So the T-1000 head is not really meant for the Sarah Connor figure, it's just a bonus head for when we get the actual T-1000 figure?

Clever Hot Toys, clever.

[karamazov80]

See what i mean though, here's an angle to see through the hole, but the left eye looks odd.

Here the left eye looks good but now you lose the effect of the blast.

Dang. You're right. Tell you what. If you get this figure, just shoot me a PM and I'll take this inferior piece of garbage head off your hands to off-set some of the cost of the Sarah figure. No no, no need to thank me. Just shoot me a PM when you get it in-hand :D

[MaulFan]

Good one :wink1:, but no, as much as I feel a slight change in position of the eye would serve me better, the donut eye head is my most wanted BD portrait for T-1000, if i can get an order in for this figure, I will not be letting anything go.

[karamazov80]

*dang, was sure that would work* :D

Well I'm gonna be there with bells on going after that non-attendee pre-order. Got to have that head.

[MaulFan]

T-1000 head is a must get for me, but so is the new Sarah head.

[karamazov80]

Like some others, I actually like this Sarah a lot more than the mass release version, but I just don't feel a need to have the figure. But I'm with you on that head--it is absolutely essential for the T-1000. That Predator is nice, but the T-1000 head is gonna be the must-get HT item from SDCC for me.

[Buttmunch]

The entire figure is just a must-have to me.

[MaulFan]

For me, the hair down is the look for T2 Sarah for me, I'm not against the ponytail look, but it's not my top choice, so getting this version means having my top choice. It'd be awesome if I could get this figure and borrow one so I could actually recreated the scene from the movie with a pure photograph, no photoshop tricks or anything like that. Of course, I'd also like a John to get out of the way.

[Thunderlips]

adding another hot toys to my collection

[MaulFan]

So I was just looking at the specs and it says HT's doing magnet attach for bullet holes too like Sideshow, wonder how well it will work compared to Sideshow, could mean being able to use Sideshow hits in addtion, which could be nice, I could do a photo of T-1000 lit up like when T-800 shoots him in the truck. I wonder how that works anyway, there's nothing to the Sideshow T-1000 shirt that suggest what the magnets cling to, but they do, I'd assume similar method is used here.

[Buttmunch]

The T-1000 had a magnetic body. So I'm not entirely sure how HT will do it. Unless they give this figure a magnet in her belly. But I'm sure HT will make it work. I just hope the real T-1000's bullet holes work better than Sideshow's. But it would really be cool if they can work on the HT one. But I think the HT ones will be more chromed than SS's were. The donut head is very nicely chromed and I would expect the rest of his metal pieces to be like that.

[MaulFan]

Yeah, the metal on T-1000 and T-800 should look sharp, I keep looking at the BD Marcus Wright head thinking of how a T-800 will look, I can't wait to see it, I hope we will see that. And yeah, Sideshow's hits won't match the HT ones, but still, depending on what you want for hits on the figure and what HT supplies, if they'll stick, at least it gives you options.

As far as T-1000, the key improvements over Sideshow's I'm interested in are a better tailoring and fit to the uniform, and I'd like to see them do the hook arms with an effective way to put them on, I could never snape the sleeves on my Sideshow shirt around the hooks so it never had that seemless look they were trying for to belnd the hooks into the shirt.

[Buttmunch]

They'd probably also use rubber sleeves to blend it into the clothing coloring instead of painting silver on the fabric.

Hey, now there is an idea! A chrome, rubber suited T-1000! That might be the only way HT could do it without it being a statue.

[MaulFan]

I'd probably hold out for or get a 12" NECA chrome before a rubber HT version. If it's a figure I really care about and it's the only choice, I'll live with rubber, but overall, there seems a risk involved with HT rubber figures. So far, I've done ok but for Batman, which was everyone's, but all the muscle body horror stories and Alien problems, I'm not sure if I'd be into a chrome T-1000 enough to make the investment on the chance it could not work out in the long term. I like to think these HT rubber figures can last, but you hear enough stories to wonder when your luck could run out. Rambos, Rockys, Dutch, these figures are of characters that really matter to me so I take the chance, but if there were a couple regular style T-1000 figures, I'm not sure I'd feel the need for a chrome one enough to roll the dice.

[Snake Eater]

But his eye is positioned to the left ............

http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee351/roynajmeddine/T1000.jpg

Imo it would look odd if he was looking stright ahead.

This shows what I meant about the blast not being 'blown out' sideways enough on the sculpt. Also......

http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r262/retskoow/album%202/T2-T-1000inSarahConnordisguise_PR10.jpg

.....there should be no silver leakage of colour on the actual face. Just on the blast itself.

Still absolutely love it though and still looking forward to the eventual T1000 moreso than Arnie.

T-1000 being dynamic... HT choose an in-between Stan Winston's prop and CGI reforming of his face.......http://sideshowcollectors.com/forums/images/smilies/Dunno.gif

[Musclebelly]

Sarah's head sculpt looks more like catherine tate from doctor who.

[eighthsamurai]

if HT already have the T1000 together, maybe they took a shortcut with this exclusive head. it seems the head overall retains the shape a non-BD head should have, rather than being resculpted to have the face wider as it was in the movie. so chances are, the head on the regular release will be exactly like this. maybe the eyes forward.

[karamazov80]

Goddamn I need that head. It is so fantastic. I'm not even all that into T-1000, but damn.

[Reinhardt]

I want that head as well, but I don't want to have to buy a whole other figure just for the head. 1 Sarah Connor figure will suffice for me (i like the original one more).

[Buttmunch]

I really feel bad for you guys that just want the T-1000 head. The way I see it, you only have 2 choices if you really want it.

1) Buy the head on ebay for $$$
2) Buy the full figure and sell it without the head

Selling the figure without the head would probably save you more money in the end actually.

[karamazov80]

That 2nd route is the one I plan on taking. And I don't mind doing that at all. The biggest problem is actually going to be acquiring it without going to SDCC :lol

[agonistes86]

Just watched the T2 making of, and thought some of you might be interested in this pic, a comparison of RP and the donut head animatronic:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v152/187-Maul/Various/vlcsnap-2010-05-28-16h46m24s81.png

[wookster]

Wow, the HT one looks more like RP than the 1/1 mock up.

[Wor-Gar]

You could always buy the 1/6 bust and hack the head off for your T-1000. Might be less expensive then getting this figure for the head only.

[Bezzerkerr]

Robert Patrick looks KILLER.

Linda Hamilton looks like CARROT-TOP with straightened hair.

[Centrocal]

Hey when does Tokyo Toy Fair start? Not just for the rest of the Terminator line, I cant wait to see all the new product ! Think they will reveal the Avatar figures? ( They just HAVE to right ?! :panic: )

And they still got to show the A.P.U. model from the Matrix, I hope they surprise us with actual 1/ 6 figures. And then the Superman figure, Tron, Predators, Prince of Persia, the rumored Ghost Rider and other Iron Man 2 figures :thud:

Who knows. Anything can happen

[Platty]

Man, Matrix figures would be somin' else

[seniram6]

Could I purchase the Attendee order and have a friend who is going to SDCC pick it up for me?

[JacktheRipper]

Have your friend order it. They check your idea and order form.

[seniram6]

I've never ordered a Con exclusive before, does Sideshow's site have terrible lag like MattyCollector or is it light years better?

[FLOSI]

So what's do people think she'll run?

V1 Sarah is 149.99, so 169.99 for Attendees and 179.99 for Non?

[karamazov80]

I would guess in that area. Hopefully that will scare some folks off and I'll be able to get one. Popular though this figure will be, I don't think this will be anywhere near as popular as the Predator, where price won't be an object.

[FLOSI]

True enough. At this point I still have no idea which Sarah I'll buy. I dig the hair and T1000 sculpt on this version but prefer the sculpt of the V1.


The Predator is very tempting but I think I'll pass. I don't own any Preds other than the Pred1... Buying the Gort might start a chain reaction of (____ing massive) spending.

[a-dev]

Yeah hopefully they'll price a few people out of it. I hate to say that but I really want this figure - as a keeper, not for future scalping.

[a-dev]

I don't own any Preds other than the Pred1... Buying the Gort might start a chain reaction of (____ing massive) spending.

:lol thats something I'm constantly having to think about lately. Yesterday though after deciding I do want Gort I went and bought the first Lost Predator. Its already on its way to me so theres no turning back now. And Gort just became quite a bit more important a purchase. If I fail to get him I might end up trying my first trade or something...unless I decide that I really love Lostie on his own merits. Right now though I'm thinking he'd be pointless unless I could get Gort.

[FLOSI]

With me being up in the air between the two money does start to weight in. Sarah v1 for 135 or a few bucks more for this version? I wish we could see some in hand pics... Oh well, just gotta see if I even score one through the PPO to begin with.

[seniram6]

I just want one Gort and one Sarah-1000, is it hard to get these during PPO? or do you have to be constantly refreshing and whatnot

[MarfMaster]

And they still got to show the A.P.U. model from the Matrix, I hope they surprise us with actual 1/ 6 figures.

Yeah, one purchase almost always leads to another. That's why it's so easy to get on board with this figure... We're all getting our T-800s in the next few days and we'll all have a spot on the shelf next to him for a Sarah.... This line is going to be hard to resist....

Which is another reason for me to stay clear of the Gort. :lol

That makes alot of sense bud. Hadn't thought that as a possible reason.

[Centrocal]

Yeah those Predators are dangerous ! I remember I didn't give a damn about them until I got Pred 1 and then within a few weeks I actually bid $255 on a mint Pred 2 ( didn't win it ) but I just can't believe I placed the bid ! Its like someone else was doing it:lol

[DiFabio]

Well, I know what I'm going to do. I've finally decided I'm going to try and preorder this sucker as soon as it goes up despite having little to no interest in this Sarah Connor.

Once I receive it, I'm taking out the T-1000 head, keeping it for my future HT T-1000 figure and selling everything else. The Sarah Connor head, body, hands, base, weapons, everything.

As far as T-1000 goes I plan on owning every variation Hot Toys has to offer since I'm passing on both Sarah figures and the T-800. I'm going to put all my money into him and, if it looks good, the next T-800 release.

[plasmid303]

That makes alot of sense bud. Hadn't thought that as a possible reason.

It makes sense, and it makes HT sound lazy. Hopefully that's not the case.

[Chigger58]

Well I'm trying to stay out of this line because of what people are talking about with future releases for it. However, I'm a 90% completist (I don't have to have everything but I like building a set of something, if that makes sense to anyone) and I can't really have a Terminator display without Sarah in it. Which will lead to a John Connor, and probably the T600 (sigh) and then I'm trying to be smart for my money and holdout until the BD T800 hits. However that T800 right now is SWEET! Congrats to those who purchased it. :clap

That said, I personally like this version better overall than the original, but it's close. I'd have to get her some other weapon than just the shotty but that's not a big issue of course. I'll be adding myself to the rest of you with trying to get her on the preorder day.

I'm just kind of shocked about the T100 head though. Excuse my newbieness as I've only been collecting since Dec of last year but why include that head here? Doesn't seem like Hot Toys has done it in the past have they? Are they just trying to up the "want factor" of this Sarah?

I of course also understand that Hot Toys is a company out to make a profit...get that. Just still seems like an odd move and again maybe I'm just new and maybe it will all make sense once we see what Hot Toys has in store for the T1000 itself.

Last Q....so in the past with what Sideshow or Hot Toys has shown at SDCC...when do those figures actually come out? For my sake, I'm hoping not until next year or I might have to make some hard choices. :gah: :)

Well the both Sarahs should hit domestically in July. The T-1000 version during the week of SDCC of course 7/22-25.

If we hear about any other releases from now till August or September I think it would be safe to assume that they might be in hand before the end of the year.

Good to see your planning on getting full enjoyment out of the whole thing, not just the T-100 head. There's nothing wrong with just buying it for the T-100 head, everybody on here who wants one deserves it (maybe not maulfan) but you've gotta favour the people who are excited for the full figure.

[FLOSI]

Thanks for the info Flosi.

I want an anchorman theme for myself. It's my fave comedy film. Not too many bloody characters left though.
