Thanks for the positive feedback guys.

John in his new foster home.

Better then his old one I guess....

Sucks!
Keep a look out on ebay, maybe KG will get some more stock?

Todd and Janelle are dicks.

I almost wish they'd filmed a scene of the T-800 knocking on the Voight's door looking for John to see how that conversation went compared to the T-1000. It'd probably have been better as a deleted scene though rather than showing the same scenario twice presumably minutes apart in the movie. Besides I do kinda like it referenced as an offscreen thing - always loved that moment where they mention the 'big guy on a bike' to the T-1000 and he gives that look followed by his line ''I wouldn't worry about him''.

That line works on a couple of levels - it can be read as him being dismissive of the T-800 and also it's almost like he could continue the sentence with ''because it's me you need to worry about'', it's ominous and yet the Voights would not have taken it that way at all.

It's all Hong Kong sellers on ebay. Where are CGL toys based anyway?

i also think that scene/dialogue sounds really dangerous and ominous, always liked it, but...
i just realised T-1000 didn't know about T-800 arrival.

I've always interpreted it as the T-1000 makes a good guess - he was sent back, maybe someone was able to follow. So I'd say the intention was that the T-1000, in that moment, realises he's not alone in 1995. I think the very fact that it makes the scene more interesting is almost proof positive that this is what they intended when they wrote it. Much better to think that the T-1000 knows there's another traveller from the future than to suppose he's just thinking ''huh, some biker guy was looking for John today aswell, funny little coincidence. Anyway, on with my mission to find and kill this little ****er''. So I think he does realise there's another Terminator present and by the 'big guy' description he might even be able to narrow it down and have a shortlist of faces to look for. But no matter which one it is he is more than confident that he can deal with it, hence his line.

hmmm right. if i remember correctly, he's going into slight shock for a second, and then guesses by description (a big guy on a bike) who it could be. and then says his sinister thing "i wouldn't worry about him".
thanks!

 

[FlyAndFight]

Thanks for the review, Shell.

I'm trying to find him for a decent price. Ebay prices are a bit high, though.

 

[toylion]

i'm still in doubt whether i need him or not.
looks nicely painted, very life-like in shells075' video, but for that price he should at least resemble Furlong for me to pay willingly.
for that price i might better buy two new phicen bodies to use for T1 and T2 operations scenes, like a-dev planned.

The price? It was only $130.00. You can't make a kitbash for that price.

it's $165 now, when i wrote the post you quoted.

That's the way I'd always interpreted that scene too.

I always thought the T-1000 was a sentient being rather then the T-800 which was just a very advanced robot. I don't think its ever explained just how high functioning the T-1000 is, other then he makes the old model 101's look like scrap metal.

So, got John today and I'm quite pleased........especially after lining him up next to my other options. Makes the custom look pretty bad and makes the Asmus version look like an absolute joke. I hadn't even taken the Asmus out to look at it until now. I think they what they did was find another use for their Hobbit body. Probably why it's so short. What I can't get over is the bulbous nature of the head in the back. Wasn't it Caine that did the original sculpt and then Asmus changed it? I could see the head being too big for the body because it was properly sculpted to the correct size, but I can't believe it would have been so huge in the back.

Sorry, but I had to use a flash on the pictures.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Thanks, rjszar.

A picture is worth a thousand words and these are a novel.

Your custom is not bad. The CGL version appears to be the best, overall. The "other" is just plain wrong on many levels.

Wow, I didn't know that. Just came out and the price already shot up. Glad I pre-order it then. Even thought I had forgotten about it.

 

[shells075]

Cost me £65 at KG. sometimes it pays to PO I guess.

 

[DioramaMaker]

It's as flawed as the HT T-800 sculpts, but close enough to fly with the right lighting - so I think it's a solid shoot.

 

[P.]

erm, nope - most HT T-800 sculpts can be immediately defined as Schwarzenegger and nobody else, no matter how flawed - while the face of this one is nobody, unrecognizable.
not saying it's bad or that i wouldn't get it if it was cheaper. just corrected a part of your statement.

timewalkertoys just listed it for 139.99
