Yeah man, I was gone for almost 5 yrs still collecting, but took a long break from the Freaks and social media. Now I’m right back in it again

Same here. Missed the board, quite frankly.
But now, having quit YT and only looking after my shop and my Podcast and collecting for myself, rather than
"I cannot display it yet and also not tidy up the box, cause I haven't reviewed it yet."
Kinda idiotic, when you think about it.
So much more calm and fun honestly.

I'm impressed! The base had to go though.

I definitely started to miss it and a lot of the freaks I use to talk to. I figured it was about time to check back in, but realized I wasn’t the only one who left. Many people are gone, or banned, and the ones still here didn’t really miss me

I wsn't really missed either, I guess.
But with my shift in collecting, going from 1/6 to Transformers 3rd party and my private stuff, there was a wholenother bit of life, way more important than this. But it's still the no. 1 board for 1/6 for me and there are good guys still.

Also, pretty funny: boards in general tended to be SO toxic, right?
Ain't got **** in comparison to what the socials are up to nowadays!

Good one. What base is that? Looks SW-like.

Agreed well I should probably go to sleep now almost 3 am and need to be up in 4 hours and start my day

Well, you know how it is for us germans: livin in the future. When you are done sleeping...I'm done with my work day.
Enjoy some haytime, man. Good talk!

EndoSickness said:

Interesting: you're the first who likes the PT sculpt better.

And, just to stir the pot....I think this sculpt is better than the DX13 when you get it in hand.

EndoSickness said:

Good call. I was never the biggest fan of the DX13 sculpt.
Always thought the 117's sculpt captured "Arnie" way more (strictly speaking HT here, disregarding the EB. That one is THE SCULPT) and I like the PT's sculpt too, just for a complete picture I went with the semi-bd DX13 head.

DEATHASYLUM said:

Oh yeah, Present improved with the bd sculpt, but neither one of their sculpts are better than the DX10 and DX13. I’m not trying to put this figure down either, but sometimes I have to chime in on certain statements.

I am really tempted to get this one, but I am also really confused now about the headsculpt...

To make it easy on you: do you enjoy the DX13 sculpt?

This would be my first Terminator figure at all.
I am late to the party. I've never had the DX13 sculpt. And I missed all the Hot Toys vs. Enterbay discussions.
I guess I just havn't seen a convincing comparison between Hot Toys vs. Present Toys (same light, same sharpness and so on).

Or is this a good Presen Toys Hot Toys comparison?

Yeah, it's from the ESB Boba Fett. I thought it looked like something from the foundry with the molten steel underneath.

This is mine and I would think so, yes.

Took some quick pics of mine. Love it. Sure sculpt is not perfect, but from a few feet away everyone knows exactly who it is.

Nice pics

If you like this figure then get it and don’t worry about the HT sculpt

DEATHASYLUM said:

I’m shocked to hear some people saying this Present Toys sculpt is better than the DX. A better body and clothes (not the T-shirt though) I could see, but the head sculpt too. Can’t say I agree with that one, but it’s your opinion and we all have them. Everyone should have a Terminator on the shelf and this is the best option at the moment

Agreed, I mean if it really did look like Arnie why wouldn't it photograph well? The DX13 head isn't perfect - mainly because of the incorrect hairline on the temples and the overly neat and rounded silhouette to the hair - but facially it looks more like Arnie - I think any given picture would demonstrate that.

In general though I can appreciate that this figure is proving useful to people, especially if they entirely missed the boat on DX13.

Exactly good sir. I mean we have had the discussions to death about the issues with the HT sculpts, but they absolutely crush the Present Toys sculpts. It’s like stepping into the ring with retired Mike Tyson…. The champ is old and been out of the game for awhile, but bam! One punch and you’re down on the canvas cause he is still that good. Present has the Rocky vibe and is a surprise contender with a few good shots, but in the end comes up short of the W. Been hanging out at the SlyShop too much Also, you seen the new Arnie State Farm commercial? Classic

After the negative reactions to this guy i was nervous to open him up, but pleasantly surprised by its quality! Images below are after some Tamiya weathering, sand paper and scalpel distressing of the worn areas, and a little blood touchup, but otherwise extremely happy to have this guy in the collection!

Looks great and nice pic. I think overall this figure has been well received and has some great parts that can definitely upgrade other Terminator figs. Also, if you don’t have a Terminator, then it fills the void for those that missed out on older ones. From what I have seen this figure is a hit.
