Hot Toys - MMS 95 - Terminator Salvation - John Connor- spec + hi-res pics

[newcollector]

I just got my Connor for christmas. I absolutely love the figure but I have a question. The M4 clips that are supposed to stay on the figures left side is there anyway to make them stay on more secured? From pics I have seen not many people have on and in the movie they don't look like M4 clips. Thanks.

I keep going back to look at this figure. The likeness is off but that just doesn't seem to matter. This has got to be a pinnacle of excellence for HT and all of 1/6th in terms of the clothes detail and tailoring. The gun is amazing, yesterday I found moving parts I didn't realise were there before and that little computer thing that slips into a pouch on his waist is worth mention all by itself. The costume designers on the film deserve credit here too as the outfit is actually really cool, but not just cool for the sake of looking cool - I think it works as post-apocalyptic military clothing and wouldn't be out of place in a Cameron Terminator film...no idea what I'm basing that on but its how I feel....its just a pity the film is only reasonably entertaining, it probably doesn't deserve such monumentally great figures.

I find that the costumes in Cameron's future would seem more fitting in the T:S world and the T:S costumes more in Cameron's. Cameron's resistance was so uniform looking, and where T:S seemed to still have a legit and structured military still in existance, it would seem fitting there for uniforms to be available. Cameron's future is so destroyed and worn away, it would make more sense for people to be wearing kitbashed outfits from whatever they could find.

Do the military refer to their make shift costumes as 'kitbashing' or is it just something from the 1:6 world rubbing off on us? :

 

[MaulFan]

I just use the term kitbashing anytime something is slapped together from a random assortment of parts.

I have always found it hard to pose this figure and I have just discovered why - his arm movements can be restricted and his gun holding poses can be restricted and it is because of the black t shirt he wears under the jacket. I always wanted to remove the jacket but that wud mean removing the harness and it looks so damn complicated I dont wanna try to I unzipped the jack and cut his black t shirt off his body lol. its amazing how much material was actually stuffed inbetween the arm socket in his arm pit - now the shirt is gone his range of movement is supberb an the jacket has a nicer more realistic fit to it. I know doing this wont be for everyone but I just thought if any was interested then they could know

i have also heavily weathered his clothing making it more film accurate. he looked way to clean and new straight out the box

 

[MaulFan]

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to try taking the tshirt off.

...removing the harness and it looks so damn complicated...

I found it relatively easy to pose mine, got a nice natural looking stance I'm happy with. The bloody harness and pouches drove me insane when putting them on and posing. Lost my temper and broke the gun so ordered new one and awaiting arrival. Other than those damn puches though, mines been great. Loving the outfit on it

show us some pics
never had any problems with the posing so i can't imagine what there could be improved when the shirt is off. but anyway, i'm interested on seeing your weathered version.

 

[Geil]

Yeah I never had much of an issue either but then I am sure my JC would like to go commando

 

[Centrocal]

Perhaps we can use the black shirt for the T-800?

So turns out Hot Toys gave us the shirt after all, thats really planning ahead
