Re: HS "Pumping iron" or "Conan" Arnie

Ooooooh a Mr. Freeze Arnie is definitely something different and will give some crazy shelf presence!

Interested in Bald version.
Agree a Mr. Freeze would be great but somebody needs to do the costume. Not the robe, but the armor, beanie, and freeze gun. The robe, bunny slippers, diamond and crystal dome with wife statue would be a nice outfit #2.

He just means that a Mr. Freeze figure would stand out amongst all the other figures.

Perfect looking sculpt, one of the best I've seen (in any form or scale).

The smirk is also perfect for Jack Slater. :rock

Re: HS "Pumping iron" or "Conan" Arnie

OK let's think about this)
I want pictures of emotions which You would be interested in T1 and T2

I got the impression from this that you're interested in doing something a little different than the typical Arnold sculpt. Mainly he is completely stern as the T-800. However there is still ways to be different from what Hot Toys gave us.

Principally there is his super-squint, often with one of his eyes more squinted than the other one. Such as this:




Even in a night-time scene he is sorta squinty like here with that left eye:




Of course he does it in T1 aswell:






There are some moments in T1 when he has found his target and his eyes seem to widen:










Often associated with the squint his mouth can take on a kind of ''mean'' sneer like in these shots:








Terminator 2 brings some more human expressions also - however these would be more niche and not people's first choice:






No one has made a headsculpt of the following in 1:6 scale and there are some pics of it above aswell. It might be called ''Battle-damaged Tech Noir'' - running through fire has caused his eyebrows and some of his hair to be burnt off:










What Hot Toys consistently messed up was the shape of his head (from the front and from the side) and his hairstyle in both movies. They probably did their best job on the MMS136 Tech Noir figure but even that wasn't perfect. Their work on T2, in particular his hair - was awful. DX10 and DX13 both got his hairline wrong to some extent and they gave him a bizarre bulbous shape to the back of his head. Meanwhile they gave the figure's hair overall a rounded look - like an afro. Based on your Pumping Iron model I don't think the headshape will be a problem for you, that looks correct. Therefore the following are pics of what his hair should look like from both films and from various angles.

Tech Noir hairstyle:












T1 Police Station assault hairstyle (much the same as Battle-damaged Tech Noir)- kinda long and partially covering his ears on the side, longish at the back but shorter and choppy on top:















Terminator 2 hairstyle:














I have a tonne more shots but I think that's quite enough for one post! Sorry

Re: HS "Pumping iron" or "Conan" Arnie

Great reference shots A-Dev!

Ullipekka I love your Conan sculpt and definitely want a bald version. It's so great to finally have a perfect Arnie sculpt available- thanks.

I'm also in for as many different terminator heads that you make (Arnie gets a lot of love on my shelfs). My favourites from A-dev's list are (1) T2 squinty eye, (2) T2 slight smirk, (3) T1 updated Technoir (grimace face wide eyes) and (4) T1 updated police shoot out.

Lastly I'm still keen on your idea for Arnie as Dutch with a cigar in his mouth.

We had the interst thread like a year ago - no interest Now we can make it in metal - should we try?))))))))

If you need Mr. freeze then let's do it with such facial expressions

You have got this absolutely right)
I wanted to say thank You for the information You have prepared!
I liked the idea of combining "super-squint" and "the mouth can take on a kind of "mean" sneer" and smile at T2)
I think we can try if there is enough interest)

Wow that sculpt looks great!

Re: HS "Pumping iron" or "Conan" Arnie

WOW!!!!!!!! That is insanely good. I think you will see a lot of interest in these heads.

Re: HS "Pumping iron" or "Conan" Arnie

Will the heads be painted to match the Phicen M34 muscle body? As these figures will be displayed without a lot of clothing, it won't make sense if the head sculpt doesn't match the body.

Yes, we can paint in tone Phicen M34, BUT I think that the body color is very pale!
For myself, I'm going to repaint the body Phicen M34

I might just do that as well. I did a female body for Princess Leia using pastels and it came out pretty nice.
