Terminator 1 Premium Format

[JAWS]

I showed my wife the side shot photo of this piece and she said "Wow, looks like young Arnold"

I then showed her the front shot and she said "Wow, looks like Kurt Russell."

At first I did not see it but this AM I think I see what paople are talking about. It's the big jaw at the sides.

Oh well I still like it and I will be flexing for this.

I really think this is going to look great In hand!!!

Unfortunately I just can't see Arnold in the first one. T2 T-800? Spot on, definite Arnold.

Oh well. Alien Maquette ordered instead.

I'm sorry dude, i find it mind boggling because I am a Schwarzenegger fanatic and i have ZERO problems seeing his defining features on that T1 sculpt (his brow-line, jaw-line, cheek bones and chin are all very well done). I spent the greater part of my life watching Arnold Schwarzenegger films, like the PREDATOR, he is one character whos signature defining features i have engrained in my long-term memory. The more i read peoples posts, it seems the Die-Hard Schwarzenegger fans approve and the people that are casual fans don't approve.


If people can't see Arnold Schwarzenegger at this angle, i really feel bad for them.

I think the MAJORITY of people that are nit-picking this sculpt i believe are out of their element, and they truly have no idea what Arnold looked like in Terminator 1.

T1 is my favorite Terminator movie, and i still think the sculpt looks off.

Problem is, I think, many probably grew up with the thinner T2 version and don't really recall the difference in his look in T1. The one guy with the screencap that looked to capture this pose looks just like the sculpt.

Well i'm a big fan and i think it looks great.

This could go on all day.

Can't say that I'm a die-hard T1 fan, but I've always been a fan of Schwarzenegger and his work, and I have to say, this sculpt looks pretty damn awesome!
I especially like the one without the glasses, so to all of you who are gonna get this awesome piece I say: Congrats!

+1000...everyone I showed at work and are not collectors (so no bias) said it looks like Kurt Russel and not much like AS. I think some people really just want to like it and see what they want to see. If they like it, great !

I'm a pretty big fan or Arnold and especially the first two Terminator movies and although I did originally hate the preview image that was shown, my view has changed completely and although I do think the BD head is much better I think this PF will be kick ass.

Yeah i think the BD head is better as well and that's how i'll be displaying it.

 

[CollectorNC]

Maybe it's just me, but Russell was never bulked up like Arnold. lol

So, is this thread done with then? I mean, is the absolute only issue to discuss whether or not this looks like Arnie? Haven't we all agreed so far that it isn't the best likeness, but some folks are okay with that and some folks aren't? Look at that righteous friggin' Jacket, boots and paints, for criminy sake! Awesome! Just awesome!

I'll definitely be switching them out regularly. I dig 'em both.

No we have a few more weeks of it looks like him/no the sculpt is off. So strap yourself in cos its going to be a bumpy ride!

PS: That's what she said before anyone thinks of posting.

The lighting underneath does not help the likeness. I think it looks better in the new pictures, and of course I can see Arnie, but the forehead is too small.

Yeah, I figured. I'll stop back by for a dose of "ORDERED!" and again upon release for pics, celebration and the revival of arguments for and agin' the likeness.

 

[Gates70]

The likeness thing will never be solved. It's like the guy that thinks a certain chick is hot while the other thinks she's "not all that" or ugly. It's all in the eye of the beholder.
