1/4 Arnold Terminator Genisys

[Chronicle CS]

Using the original CGI files we believe along with production, this may be the most accurate Arnold produced to date.

We strive for authenticity and we hope to do a signature series as well.

Here is a first look.....What? You didn't think I'd just post up a bunch of pics did you?

i hate you:psycho:

[Dirt Torpedo]

Years of rubbish Terminator statues (with the very rare exceptions) is finally at an end.

Would the Signature series be Arnies signature?

T-800 enterbay will be very DIFFICULT to beat, even if it's not a statue, it's still the Arnie representation in Terminator to date!

[Chronicle CS]

This one is mixed media, his body will be all resin and his jacket will be cloth. Will have lighted features in the eye and base.

This is 3rd stage Arnold and very close to the end of T2.

We are wanting this one up for pre-order next month, trying to do one piece a month until the film premiers. No price set and Arnold is really pouring over this one, it's more than realistic. CGI and Scans have come a long way and we get to benefit.

Once again we don't want to make idealized pieces, we are working with production, the cgi files and Arnold to make this the best Terminator ever offered.

We want Arnold to sign the plaques and as long as it's not cost prohibitive, we'll try to make that happen.

Sounds great. I already have eight Terminator related statues/busts, so I'll be adding this and your 1/4 Endo, from the looks of it.

Looking forward to seeing this one. If it comes with a signed plaque or base, that would be extra epic!

So I guess it won't be from this scene,because he's wearing a leather jacket.

[Ricky Bobby]

Very cool if its possible to get Arnolds sig,but either way I look forward to seeing the finished product

[Chronicle CS]

Looks as if it's been approved, if indeed it's ready, next pics will be of the prints...

[Johnny Utah]

'The most accurate Arnold produced to date' is a bold statement. Need pics asap.

[Chronicle CS]

Accurate to this film....

[Chronicle CS]

Webb,

The jacket will fool you in the trailer, his black tactical jacket isn't leather.... I thought it was originally as well...

Paul

[Chronicle CS]

Well it's official, Arnold has signed off on the 1/4.....

[LEC]

Well it's official, Arnold has signed off on the 1/4.....

signed off on...

Does this mean he will sign the 1/4 or that he won't???

In my language signed of means NO.

If YES then i will get a second job...

[Gruson]

Nice, let's see a pic of the head!

The best Arnold statue IMO is the Sideshow Terminator from original. The production piece looks so much better than their web photos. I even like it more than the CM. I've also owned the Enterbay.

This one:

Overall though, the Hot Toys Terminator tech noir Arnold head sculpt is most accurate IMO. Wish it were 1/4

Also, isn't that a spoiler that your piece is from Termimator 2 since you guys just have the Genesys license? Meaning T2 Arnold appears in the film? :)

[kevin2323]

Well it's official, Arnold has signed off on the 1/4.....

this isnt april fools right?

it means yes



at least i think lol

[Gruson]

I think it means he gave his approval on the sculpt.

[Chronicle CS]

It means Arnold has approved the images....

Maybe I should wait and show the print instead of the digital file....

hmmmmmm?

[The SHOGUN]

Well it's official, Arnold has signed off on the 1/4.....

Great news. If you guys managed to release a special signature edition of this statue, that would be really special. Like the Tippett signed Legacy series, its more than just a display piece. It's a connection to the artist.

[Chronicle CS]

Shogun, you've seen the 1/4 Arnold having visited this week, I too want a signature version... Would that be another first?

Paul

I did see him and the likeness is like Arnold looking into digital mirror. If it's possible, a signature version one hell of an exclusive. Keep breaking down those barriers!

[Atheris]

Shogun, you've seen the 1/4 Arnold having visited this week, I too want a signature version... Would that be another first?

Paul

You get Arnold to sign these and I'll pay you in pure gold.

Chris

[Remember Me?]

If he does sign it...will it be hand-signed for each piece?

[DynamicMenace]

alright pretty cool. now will you guys be doing the T-800 version of Arnold in the film? the CGI version of Arnold. the naked one the old Arnold says he has been waiting for? now i think that would be pretty cool.

but not having him naked of course...lol

[Chronicle CS]

Doll, Statue it's all in the toy category so let's not split hairs.

I don't collect Hot Toys pieces, but I appreciate the craftsmanship and quality.

We're trying to make art, what you saw on screen and not idealized pieces. By using the original prop or the CGI files, it's as close to production as possible.

I tell our artists to leave their ego at the door, it's not about who sculpted it our who did what, it's about recreating what was seen on screen 100% and giving all the credit to the original artists.

Paul

[predators87]

pose will be that of the trailer
rifle pointed at t 800 1984 ?

Arnold 1984, will be next on the list ? :buttrock:

I prefer loyalty as close as possible to the screen

100 % is what I want

[Chronicle CS]

Not quite, this is from the end of the film and in the 3rd stage make up...

If we do the signature series with Arnold, we may limit this to 200 pieces total and retail them through the site. Super low ES....

[predators87]

but this 3rd stage...... is not yet seen in some promo photos or trailers ?

like appearance is more similar to T2 or T3 ?
you will use special techniques to make realistic skin effect ?

signature series with Arnold :buttrock:

thank Paul

I'm getting out of figures and other stuff due to inaccuracy and artist interpretation. In the long run, I find myself unhappy with the overall looks. CM Predator was one that I owned for 3 years. I was blown away when first got it, but eventually lost the love. I'm glad the focus of Chronicle is on creating the original as that's how I fell in love from the start. Keep up the good work Paul. I hope to meet you in person at SDCC this year and get to say thank you for bring us nothing but the best.

[The SHOGUN]

Limited to 200, now we're talking.

[The SHOGUN]

I'm glad the focus of Chronicle is on creating the original as that's how I fell in love from the start. Keep up the good work Paul.

This is exactly how I feel. i love that so far every Chronicle release is exactly as seen on screen. I have the peace of mind that im positively buying the most accurate version possible. Hard to argue against the Molds and CGI files.

[Dirt Torpedo]

200 makes it a flippers dream, would have prefered the es not to have been announced.

[Johnny Utah]

Still no pics? Come on DUDE!

[kevin2323]

Still no pics? Come on DUDE!

Pics please! And 200 is a perfect number

[Bobfrog]

might have to be my first terminator piece. Can't wait to see more pics and congrats to you and your team Paul.

[Bullseye]

mod note: keep on topic of Chronicles product

[DynamicMenace]

but will you guys be doing the CGI Arnold? the younger (cyberdyne controlled) looking one? the one that shows up naked? not asking fro a naked version,. but that version of Arnold? maybe he is wearing cloths in the film?

If this film is a hit and Arnold kicks ass, this is gonna be super sought after.

[Python]

That looks very interesting!

[Armored_Berserk]

[predators87]

impressive details.....

[Dirt Torpedo]

I think I love you Chronicle <sob>

[kevin2323]

I just sharted

[azurepred]

it looks great, but I'm not sure I would want a 2015 Arnold in the collection. The movie just won't compare to the first 2.

[Python]

That much is obvious at this point I think. But an accurate 1/4 Arnie complete with a signature and finished to a high standard would make it worth buying imo despite the movie it is from. I'm certainly excited to see the final product.

[azurepred]

if it really does come with a signature. I will sell prolly end up selling my EB figure for this. That would mean a lot to me, and the fact that this will have the best accuracy of any other piece before. I don't think Paul confirmed a sig though right?

[Python]

Not yet.

But if it did happen, it would be a big deal imo. Still looks great regardless mind. And price will of course be a big factor.

[Dirt Torpedo]

I wouldnt touch a John , Reese or Sarah from the new movie but Arnie is Arnie regardless if the film blows.

I actually hope they dont do a sig version as the stress will kill me if I dont secure one.

[azurepred]

lol, well, we can only hope Paul would give us members a better chance at nabbing the sig edition of it over the general public.........please :praying:

[Dirt Torpedo]

I've actually considered sending a groveling email asking if I can send an advance deposit (bribe cough cough)

[Chronicle CS]

I'll clarify a few things.

I'd like to make this Arnold a signature series and only produce 200 units. We would only retail these through our website. Arnold hasn't signed a piece before due to the fact that nothing lived up to his expectations. This piece he is willing to sign, we just need to work out the details.

Arnold does not sign for free and the signature could add up to $200 additional. I feel that the added cost is worth it in the long run as it makes this a very exclusive product.

It's all still up in the air......

Exciting stuff!

I don't care if it's Arnold from Terminator Genisys and how the movie performs, fact is, it's Arnold Schwarzenegger!!!!!

sort it out and let us know how much! my body is ready

[LEC]

I guess quarter scale goes about $500.
$200 for the signature makes $700.
10 month payment plan equals $70 a month.
Am i being realistic???

[Python]

Strange how things work, I've gone from little interest in this one (Just wanted one TG piece, the endo) to totally excited about it. Hope we see more soon.

[Devo]

Amazing likeness. The Cinemaquette t-850 was signed by Arnie, think that was $1200 at retail. Prefer this chronicle piece already. Some amazing terminator stuff being produced. Really hope you guys get the SW licence in time. This quality hasn't been about since the MR days.

yep, I just looked it up, Arnie did sign those. I'd still buy this for an extra $200 if he signs them. Would you go for a plaque, on the statue or a COA?

[predators87]

still more limited?
Paul....we need info before pre order...:praying:

[jinkazama]

I think it makes sense to offer a regular version and signature version, so one will be more affordable to collectors if the signature version is a bit pricey.

[Vince]

The Title of the thread should tell the tale....

yea, I hope the ppl that really want one of the sig editions will be able to get one. On this board anyways, screw everyone else lol :flash:

derp derp :banghead::confused2:doh!:

[Dirt Torpedo]

I dont care what the sig version costs I have to own it. Things like this make collecting worthwhile.

[rjszar]

Definitely need a regular edition if the signature edition is going to be even less than 200. This is a day one pre-order, but I don't want it sold out before I can even get home and online.

[Webb]

CS site will crash on pre order day.:banghead:

That's the spirit!

I really don't want things to go this route. Some people may get a rush out of sitting in front of their computers hitting refresh as fast as humanly possible to get one of ten such and such an items, but not me. I got the endoskull. I plan on getting everything except the 1:1 endo because I have the SS T2. I get really ticked off with companies that say "Here's something you really want, but you can't have it". Not saying that's going to happen here.

[azurepred]

Idk, what do you guys think, if it's going to be almost impossible to get it, maybe they should just forgo the Sig option all together? It kind of sounds like Arnie only wants to sign a certain amount, but only Paul can answer that. It also could be that Paul underestimates how many ppl are willing to drop $200 more for the sig edition. 200 or less will make it hard to get. 300-400, a little more reasonable.

[Chronicle CS]

It's hard to know how many to make, if it's to high people don't want it, if it's to low people think they can't get it. Our experience is nothing sells out the first day, but that soon may change as we build our customer base.

Based on our current sales, I'd rather make lower ES, offer better product and bonuses. We already offer one of the best payment plans in the industry and many have taken advantage.

It's hard to please everyone, but with the Arnold products I think we'll keep them limited to 200 pieces, maybe 100 signed and 100 regular run. This will ensure that the lower price will be available to those that don't want the extra costs of the signature.

Arnold really likes our 1/4 scale but he only signs a certain amount for the cost negotiated. We want him to sign several products from not only Terminator, but another license we posses as well. ;)

Paul

[CallMe_Snake]

:peoples: Hmmm... Another license that involves Arnold..
What could that be??

[jaxon]

I like this game, let me start.
Total recall?

[Enforcer]

:peoples: Hmmm... Another license that involves Arnold..
What could that be??Conan! It's the only thing that makes sense.

Well, at least as far as I would care to purchase. I don't know any other roles that would make an interesting Arnold statue aside from Terminator and commando mode, which leaves... Commando the movie since Predator is out of the question...unless it's another one of those FUBAR license things.

[Gruson]

Glad to hear more Arnold stuff coming!

[dao2]

I'd want to say predator but I know better :*(

I guess I'm the odd one out, I actually prefer NOT to have signatures on my stuff, except in a few cases (not necessarily based on the person).

[Bobfrog]

Sure many would love to see dutch and eventually a decent predator to go along with him but that's off the cards so unless we're getting a pregnant arnold from twins I'd say conan is the most obvious choice which is cool.

[Wurmtongue]

Hercules in New York!!!

[majestic1]

The Running Man.

[ambasah]

The Running Man.

LOVED that movie !

1/4 scale Kindergarten cop confirmed!

Only 200 Arnolds in total, including the ones with signature? Sounds scary, hope I will be able to pre-order one.

I've been on vacation for a week and just got caught up on this thread. This is fantastic news! The pic of the head WIP that Paul posted looks great! It doesn't matter what Terminator movie you are talking about, this piece will be the definitive Arnold Terminator statue bar none when you consider the accuracy from the film's CGI files and the fantastic track record on high quality products that Chronicle is establishing for itself. I will definitely be picking this piece up and I'll try to get the signature edition if I can.

Thank you Paul for making collecting fun again. :thumbs2:

You guys are very funny, we've had this other license for months but never announced it.

Hi, I'm a foreign collector. I'm ordered your product via distributor. But about the very limited of your Arnold 1/4, do you plan to pre-order only from your site?

[Chronicle CS]

Yes the Signature version will only be available on the site...

Paul

[jinkazama]

Hi, Paul.I just wanted to ask, is the 1/4 Arnold finished?If it is, C'MON!!!!SHOW IT NOW!!!!!!:thumbs2:

Been finished for a while.....

This is the most stressful release in living memory for me. The thought of missing out makes me actually want to puke.

Right there with you buddy. I love all things Terminator.

[The Mule]

I'm interested too but show something only if you're 100% sure you can, without troubles due to competition moaning or trying to block you someway.

[rjszar]

Paul, Since you have the license for Terminator Genisys, can i assume you are permitted to produce anything from the movie? Hypothetically, you could produce a 1/4 punk statue wearing the Tech Noir clothing? Let's say, again hypothetically, you produced that and maybe charged somewhat more than what most would feel is appropriate. Conceivably, as a thank you to those who pre-ordered this somewhat mundane character (and at a premium), you might send out a "gift" in advance of the delivery of the statue. Upon opening this gift, one might wonder (because we are all such an intelligent lot here) if it could be used to enhance the appearance of our "Tech Noir" statue, again hypothetically. Maybe???????

[Chronicle CS]

Not sure you see the punks as Arnold fight happens before their encounter...

[rjszar]

From theterminatorfans.com
"The Punks will stand in their original positions and we can now confirm that the punk on the far left of the trio is indeed wearing Arnold’s first ever iconic Terminator costume which has become known as the ‘Tech Noir Showdown’ costume"
The site also shows pictures of the three actors playing the parts.

[Chronicle CS]

I doubt we'd make a character seen on screen for less than a few seconds.

[Gruson]

Bill Paxton and Brian Thompson were two of the punks. :)
Thompson played Shao Khan and main bad dude in Cobra.

The punks would be played by different actors this time.

http://www.theterminatorfans.com/exclusive-first-ever-schwarzenegger-terminator-costume-appears-in-terminator-genisys/

The point being the "gift" would be a switch out head of a particular body builder.

[rjszar]

I doubt we'd make a character seen on screen for less than a few seconds.

Guess I was being too sneaky, if not too vague. I know you wouldn't want to do anything to jeopardize the license. If the alternate head couldn't come from you at least we might have the option to commission one. Doesn't seem like SS has any plans of offering a Tech Noir Terminator.

Sorry, just the desperation of a rabid Terminator fan.

[The Mule]

Lol, this is borderline Game of Thrones sneaky :D

there are also a chance to see this 1/4 scale ?

rumors also speak of sunglasses as in T1

[RabagaZt]

Please dont post spoilers like that.

[Enforcer]

Please dont post spoilers like that.
Isn't that a screenshot of the trailer?

[ONEYE]

Spoilers? What are you talking about?

Also, if you don't want any spoilers stay out of all Genisys threads. Technically, seeing the endo before the movie gives away the changes they made to it.

Can't we stop being so damn sensitive and grow a pair.

[azurepred]

yep, spoilers are going to be everywhere to some degree if you roam threads based on those movies.

[predators87]

I apologize for any spoilers ..... but you should not look anything like what concerns films
Practically anything can be spoilers

Relax, tough guy. I've been reading the Arnold and Endo-thread in here, and the majority of the discussion have been about the figures themselves. Not about what happened in the trailers. It was either on this forum or SSF that someone warned that the newest trailer was very spoiler-heavy, so I decided to not watch it.

But I guess that I'm in the minority here, most fans have most likely watched the newest trailer.

[Shoo]

Nope, I didn't want to see it for that very reason, so that was new to me, too.

And I don't see how a somewhat modified model of the ages-old endo that we're supposed to be pre-ordering in a few days can really compare to what seems to be a major plot point, but hey.

It was me, and you did yourself a favor by not watching it, what a mess...

[Viper245]

I'll judge the movie for myself in the theater. I am willing to give it a shot especially since I am buying a few of these fantastic pieces that Chronicle is making that are based on it.

[Dirt Torpedo]

I couldnt wait so I watched it, really surprised they leaked the spoiler. I admit I groaned and thought it was crappy but its still a Terminator movie with Arnold in it so I'll be there opening night.

[darb]

What if that wasn't the spoiler and there is more to come. John as a terminator is really taken from the scraped idea from the ending of salvation.

[The Mule]

You MIGHT not want to mention THAT spoiler since a pair of users just said they avoided it so far and don't want to know...

[Chronicle CS]

I'm disappointed that they released images in the trailer that weren't finished and even the studio apologized.

From what I have seen in the CGI files, it's pretty scary how good it actually looks.

I've read the script and I've seen a lot more than most, I think this is going to be the start of a new Terminator story and I hope we get three more films out of it. Not just because I have the license, because I love Terminator!

Paul

[jinkazama]

Hi, Paul.Any chance we'll see some pics of the 1/4 Arnold?

You've seen the head, we are actually printing it now and I'd rather show the actual piece rather than the 3D files.

He's also mixed media and his jacket will be real cloth...

If you don't mind me asking, what's mixed media?

[The Mule]

The definition when statues are not fully sculpted, but sculpt + fabric

[Chronicle CS]

That's like your terminology man....... :)

[jinkazama]

Hi, Paul.Are you able to roughly say when we'll see pics of the actual 1/4 Arnold statue?

[Enforcer]

I too was disappointed with them seemingly revealing too much, but we do have to remember as someone else on the internet pointed out, they also released too much infos in trailers for the other Terminator movies, but it didn't ruin those films. Yeah, so you know in advance of a plot twist or some things. It doesn't really REALLY ruin the movie for you. If such things were true, we would not watch a single movie more than once. Yet we do, because a movie's merit is not limited to shock value.

Just remember, double fake outs is nothing new in Hollywood. Do not be surprised if the movie is not what it appears to be in trailers.

[Shoo]

What if that wasn't the spoiler and there is more to come. XXXXXXXXX.

Nice! So do you have a price for him set yet?

[xpl0sive]

Judging by the pics, it looks like the clothes are sculpted?

[The Mule]

As far as I recall, only the leather jacket is going to be mixed media. And that's good to me, jackets and capes are the only mixed media needed, everything else is miles better when fully sculpted.

[ambasah]

is this the one that comes with a signature option?

[jinkazama]

is this the one that comes with a signature option?
Yup.:thumbs2:

[Chronicle CS]

I have several premium format figures and when the pants or shirts are cloth it seems like a waste.

Pants and Shirt will be grown on the figure. We can pack a lot of realistic detail you can't get with miniature clothing. Look at the shirt detail around the neck area.

The jacket will be real cloth and we are using the CGI model to get the wrinkles and form just right.

He's off to be printed this week, can't wait to get this in hand and molded.

Hi, Paul.When you say the 1/4 Arnold is being printed, what does that mean?[as I think you said it was finished a long time ago].Also, what do you mean when you say the pants and shirt will be grown on the figure?

[Chronicle CS]

This is a digital sculpture that was finished a while ago. It's now being printed, just like the 1/4 Endo.

The clothing will be sculpted if that makes better sense. Only the Jacket will be real cloth.

Of course he's full body..... ;)

Paul

Right, so when you say the 1/4 Arnold is being printed, he'll basically look like the 1/4 Endoskeleton, without all the paint, just grey in colour?And the clothing will actually be a part of the statue, right?

[Chronicle CS]

That is correct, we'll mold it and send it to our painter.

Paul

[jinkazama]

Having that been said Paul, is there a chance we'll see pics of the 1/4 Arnold after being printed out, and if so, when?

[azurepred]

is this going to be a heavily battle damaged piece Paul? Like something from the end of T2 and T3?

[PureInvasion]

Really can't wait for this one to be revealed. This and the 1/4 Endo will very likely be my 1st (and 2nd) Terminator pieces

[Chronicle CS]

This isn't T2, this is stage 3, not 5.

Only his face is pretty chewed up....

Paul

Thanks for the clarifying Paul. I'll be honest, I'm a little disappointed that most of the clothing will be sculpted. I feel that using real cloth for the clothes gives statues a greater sense of realism.

What was the reasoning behind going sculpted for the clothes on this, with only the jacket being mixed media? Sounds like a bit of an odd combination if I'm honest. Why not go sculpted for the jacket too?

I'm sure it'll look amazing regardless, I just think it would've looked a lot more realistic with real clothes, like Premium Formats and Cinemaquettes.

[Grifterr]

I love fully sculpted statues and if I manage to preorder this Arnold I plan to display it without the jacket. Really looking forward to the final reveal.

[Darkhumor]

I prefer fully sculpted pieces over complete mixed media. But I don't mind a little fabric here and there. The right amount of mixed media to sculpt makes a piece go a long way. Too much mixed media kills the artwork. Im cool with just a fabric jacket.

[Chronicle CS]

I agree DH, I just wanted the jacket due to it being black #1 and I don't feel like pants scale down well, it's hard to miniaturize the stitching and seams...

Paul

[Viper245]

I side with Paul and DH when it comes to the use of mixed media on statues. Strategically used it can bring a fully sculpted piece to the next level. Over used and it can make a piece look like a giant doll.

[xpl0sive]

I agree DH, I just wanted the jacket due to it being black #1 and I don't feel like pants scale down well, it's hard to miniaturize the stitching and seams...

You don't think it'll look odd with sculpted pants and fabric jacket?

:iagree:It will look ALOT better with fabric jacket and trousers.

[Dirt Torpedo]

New poster for the movie, whilst we wait on the big reveal

[Python]

I'll take bets now on Chronicles statue looking a lot better than the editing on all these new posters.

Still, out of interest, is that the kind of thing we can expect from this statue?

[CallMe_Snake]

Yeah, I do a bit of digital painting every now and then. I know they can make digital art look more like the old fashioned, painted movie posters. It's really not that difficult.
:banghead:
It would go a long way to make these look more artistic, less soulless. :/

It bums me out to see the studios going with such uninspired, cut-n-paste/photo-bashed type posters.
I certainly miss the Drew Struzan days.. movie posters that were true works of ART. Oh well..

Can't wait to see this piece finished, those digital model pictures look great and should make for an amazing piece. :drooling:

[Bobfrog]

spot on! hair looks excellent (yeah I know weird thing to point out but I always think most sculpts don't make the hair look realistic enough whereas this looks perfect).

Great work!

Remember this was all detailed from the CGI files, we had the best reference...

[PermaGrin]

Making the molds from the master/print?

[Bobfrog]

Making the molds from the master/print?

you can't produce these things in quantity as printed pieces if that's what you're asking - costs too much. They'd print the master like you say, make molds and then produce production pieces from that. Sure Paul will chime in but that's my understanding.

[brucecamblzchin]

I believe Legacy has the detailed CGI files. Chronicle Collectibles gets items from Legacy. I think Arnold was 3D scanned.

Arnold was actually pulled from the CGI files....

Hi, Paul.Can you say when we can expect to see fully painted pics of the 1/4 Arnold statue?

[PermaGrin]

you can't produce these things in quantity as printed pieces if that's what you're asking - costs too much. They'd print the master like you say, make molds and then produce production pieces from that. Sure Paul will chime in but that's my understanding.

I wasnt really asking.

More giving a sort-of answer to the poster above about "bathed in rubber".

Wonderfest, all will be revealed!
