Hot Toys - MMS136 - The Terminator: 1/6th scale T800 Collectible Figure (T1)

[galactiboy]

Looks great... like that they were able to approximate the look of the studs in 1/6.

 

[Terminator_Fan_Game]

lulz. back spikes look fine.

As for the chain connector, tie to the shoulder strap with some string.

maybe to you. but id have to disagree unfortunately

 

[DiFabio]

Damn, I didn't even notice that the size or pattern was off and I'm an accuracy nut.

It does look pretty damn good imo.

TFG I like you but you're starting to make the list.

The sculpt needs tweaking.
Every time they do it looks better.
The hair line and eyes need attention at least.
Once they do this figure will be HT's Magnum Opus, at least until they bring out their next figure.

Its already been mentioned plenty of times.
And Ive already given all my nit picks about this figure(trust me, im VERY nit-picky) but im too excited to worry about them...especially seeing as this figure is good enough as it is in my opinion.(i can easily live with the nit-picks i have)
Sure, id like hot toys to address all my nit-picks and make the figure even more movie accurate but im not worried enough about them to be honest so i'll leave it up to you guys to try and get hot toys to listen....im taking a back seat for a change.
Good luck guys. I hope you can make them improve it...but I wont be disappointed at all if they dont either.

My many small nit-picks:

Head sculpt:

the hair parting needs to be less centred on the head.(i think)
the hair should not go over the forehead so much.
the face should be slightly longer or thinner(not really sure)
the nose looks too short
the eyes need tweaking a bit

Jacket:

the black buttons should look different
the metal studs on the black leather parts of the jacket are too big and are in the wrong pattern

Shirt:

the pattern is "wrong"(well not really, as it varies throughout the film anyway)
the word "Modern" is written as the word "Mode" on the figures shirt
the neck area is too tight and should be more loose fitting

Trousers:

they look like the wrong colour(although its hard to tell from photos so im not sure)
the pockets have the wrong design(i think)


And there you go.
The main reasons I even noticed such small details in the 1st place is because I have tried replicating this look before in my custom Technoir T800...and you get to know these things like the back of your hand while making a custom.

This figure in particular deserves better than "Good Enough"
We've waited this long, we can wait a little longer for the tweaks.

This figure should be sold for $300 IMO.With Zero Modification.Its perfect.Only nitpick is THAT IT SHOULD SELL FOR WAY MORE.


HOT TOYS PLEASE RAISE YOUR PRICES ON FUTURE BAD ASS OFFERINGS.

TFG I like you but you're starting to make the list.

What list?
Dont get me wrong, it still looks great.
Im just a sucker for detail thats all.

LOL!

Awesome!!!

 

[Voorhees27]

Just messing, TFG.

Damn, I didn't even notice that the size or pattern was off and I'm an accuracy nut.

Yeah, the only reason I noticed straight away is because ive actually tried making this jacket before so I know it like the back of my hand now...maybe thats why it bothers only me and no one else?
I just dont know.

 

[Valfar]

Hahahaha!

The studs on the back of the coat look fine,patten looks fine too.

 

[Terminator_Fan_Game]

Just messing, TFG.

No probs bro...had me scared with that whole list business though!
I dont want to come across like im putting the figure down or anything because im not.
And as I said before, its not like I find it to be a big concern or anything...just a small thing I noticed.

You mean a big thing seeing as though you think the studs are too large right?

 

[EVILFACE]

Hahahaha!

Obviously we are in the wrong

 

[Valfar]

It's not "SSC Stormtrooper" off.

And no, not in the wrong..just for what Hot Toys have came up with, it looks fine IMO.

I've tried making this jacket too and making the studs was the hardest part. And I agree that the studs on this figure are too big for 1/6. And it bothers me that this figure isn't PERFECT because we've waiting far too long.

Don't get me wrong, I love it and I'm getting one, but there are a few "off" bits.

Although I don't see anything wrong with the stud problem you mentioned, you're a saint compared to the 1 or 2 tards that have ruined this thread.

LOL You know what I mean.

Thanks. Im new here so forgive me for being annoying sometimes.

You will never get "perfect" in a collectible. If you think so i'm sure other will disagree ................ its a vicious cycle.

To be honest, I really haven't seen too many people complaining or nitpicking and certainly not enough to ruin this thread. I forget who said it (might have been a-dev) but the people complaining about the complaining are kind of worse.

 

[Voorhees27]

Whatever .
