I ended up doing a sloppy kitbash with the NECA T800 and 3Zero T800. The goal was to get the 3Zero Head on the NECA body because IMO I think the head looks better than the NECA sculpt.
I replaced the Upper Torso of the NECA with the 3Zero Upper Torso so I wouldn't have to damage the 3Zero...
They got 3Zero parts in stock at Toy Anxiety...but the shipping to Canada is wild...I dunno if its worth it for me and if I'm better off buying another T-800 at this rate. USPS shipping states 999 business days at $15.04.
lemme know how you feel about it when you get it in hand. The more I mess around with the 3Zero Carl figure, the more its been growing on me.
I wonder if there are any 1/12 peg extenders out there to give these a bit more height. I know you can buy stuff like that for 1/6 scale figures.
=P I'll try to get some pics today. I don't think my cam is gonna do my 'best Carl sculpt despite its size' statement justice.
EDIT: Pictures are up on my previous post. Eventually I'll do a head-by-head comparison between 3Zero, NECA and JinToy after I move. Everything else is packed away...
I wish Hot Toys would get in the ring. The only HotToys Terminator I own is the Guardian, I would love to own a Carl. They could easily make a regular, semi battle damaged and fully damaged Carl.
Also, thank you! There are two independent artists that I've seen making Carl head sculpts.
You...
Yup I did and I still appreciated you taking the time to respond back. Oh I wasn't around for that even as a lurker lol. Shame. I'd love to see whatever customs people are still making.
Hi A-dev!
I looked up custom terminator figures in the search! I didn't realize that the last post was from 2016. Also, thank you! Its been a journey getting this together.
Hey everyone, I've been working on a custom Carl T-800 Battle Damage for a few months now. I've taken inspiration from the movie and Mortal Kombat 11 so the figure has a mix of both. Sorry I don't know how to resize images so my bad for everything being as big as it is.
I took some creative...
Anybody receive their goods finally? Mine came in today. I'm impressed with the head sculpt but I really don't like how saggy the jeans are.
edit: I bought Carl.
Quick Review:
Pros: Articulation is great despite the restrictions the jacket presents. It comes with a bunch of hands I'll never...
Okay so the exchanges between a-dev and ajp over the last several pages has been a wild ride. I need to go over that again. I really appreciate the depth you two have gone through.
Also forgive me for forgetting but a poster here mentioned an really good Dark Fate idea of following Carl's life...
