1/2 Terminator Genisys Battle Damaged Arnold Statue Forum First Look

[Chronicle CS]

PENDING LICENSOR APPROVAL!

Hey guys wanted you to have the first look.

This massive bust will be on display at SDCC.

It's right at 12" tall from the top of the base.

THE BASE IS NOT THE FINAL VERSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please don't PM for further info, there isn't any right now.....

We hope to have something to show regarding King Conan very soon, he's pulled from the same files.

[madmanny]

Ok, that is crazy

[Collectorcol]

Holy Crap!!! That looks amazing!

[El Diablo]

face looks excellent but ( and I know it's printed from the files) is the hair not slightly high tower?

I think hair will not be sculpted on the 1/1 but I won't ask questions until the final preview is shown. Can't wait for 1 of 1

[Chronicle CS]

We used the CGI grabs right after he loses his face, possible it's in motion. Plus ours is pissed off terminator...

Our clean version has hair more like what's pictured above...

[JstChilin]

Looks sweet. Agree about hair being a little to high.

[Chronicle CS]

Sweep that back it will match the CGI version...

[Python]

Looks great. Just to be clear, does this have two heads as teased or will it be two separate busts completely? Certainly can't see any seem lines here.

[PureInvasion]

looks very cool so far. Arnold is slowly going to take over my house :D

[azurepred]

can't wait to see this in 1:1 scale :D

[brucecamblzchin]

Youre doing a 1/1 as well?

[CAIN MKII]

Arnold The terminator will be a must have in my collection :)

[rjszar]

Moving forward would explain the hair being that high. Hard to believe this won't end up being two busts. Even if it doesn't, I'll probably have to get two. Can't not have one of these on display.

I do have a nitpick and it has nothing to do with the bust because CC used the CGI files. I think the CGI files failed to capture fully Arnold's likeness. I know they were working from a lifecast, but I wish they would have referenced screen shots a little more. It's definitely 84 Terminator, just not quite 84 Arnold playing Terminator. I was actually hoping that the just announced lifesize bust could possibly replace the one I have on my lifesize figure, but it looks like there is going to be a slight distinction between the two.

[madmanny]

Yeah I must admit I would prefer a 1 to 1 scale

[The SHOGUN]

A clean 1984 life-size bust is a game changer. If its true, instantly becomes the priority pre order

[CAIN MKII]

May be as close to the original as possible to be.

[Gruson]

Agreed, CGI '84 wasn't perfect but it was damn good in most of the shots! Pretty amazing work and I am interested in the 1:1 version but not the 1:2.

[CallMe_Snake]

Yeah, I think the CG Arnold is amazing, I don't think it looks off at all.

Granted I haven't seen the movie yet, I'm seeing tomorrow night.

But.. I REALLY don't see how anyone could say they failed to capture his likeness. :confused::confused:

Looks dead-on to me.

[brucecamblzchin]

Yeah, he was bang on in Genesys IMO, I loved when they grappled and the pavement crumbled! This bust is looking godlike.

[Chronicle CS]

Just wait till you guys see the hi-rez photos or better yet Nathan's paint job, should be pretty cool....

it's close. but not dead on. the bottom picture is not cg. the middle one is.

Which one are you talking about? The two bottom pics I posted are actual shots of Arnold, the top three are CG.

[brucecamblzchin]

I think if people are confused about which one is real and which isn't then we can be sure its pretty bloody good.

[Dirt Torpedo]

Finally going to have a 84 bust to go with my 1:2 Kyle.

[bonedaddy77]

Really hope we see a 1:1 version so I can buy this

[jaxon]

Yep, 1:1 for me also.

[rjszar]

Yeah, I think the CG Arnold is amazing, I don't think it looks off at all.

Looks dead-on to me.

I didn't say failed to capture his likeness. I said failed to capture his likeness COMPLETELY. I can tell the difference between the CGI and the real thing. I've seen the scene with the punks, something is just a little off. It seems to be around the eyes.

The Terminator has always been and will always be my favorite movie. Arnold has always been and will always be my favorite cinematic personality (notice I did not say my favorite 'actor'). I have lifesize figures and everything Terminator under the sun. I did say I was nitpicking. Yes, chastise me for wanting PERFECTION. Chronicle is giving us perfection, but the studio didn't quite make it. I will be extremely happy with everything that is produced, but it will be Genisys, not The Terminator.

[rjszar]

it's close. but not dead on. the bottom picture is not cg. the middle one is.

Thank you, I'm glad a few see what I am talking about. It's like having just the faintest flaw in a 10 karat diamond.

[predators87]

Paul,
you can make a half-length to chest full


I love Arnold chest :buttrock:

[Chronicle CS]

He guys, just got word that Canal has approved 1/2 Arnold....

[Python]

Cool, looking forward to seeing more at the con, even if it isn't painted. In fact, primer sometimes shows the sculpt of better anyway.

[Viper245]

Excellent news, Paul.

Looking forward to seeing some Con pics.

[Webb]

He guys, just got word that Canal has approved 1/2 Arnold....

Weird how this "approving" thing works ? By the looks everything gets approved right ?

http://www.sideshowtoy.com/mas_assets/jpg/83031_press01-001.jpg

[Chronicle CS]

We are put under a microscope more than any other company because what we are making closely resembles T1 & T2.

That's why our products have to have the big logo plaques.

Yeah I don't know how some things get approved based on the picture above...

[marker2037]

Well to be fair that was from 8 years ago or so and cost $49.

But yea, it's one of the worst figures of all time too :laugh:

[Chronicle CS]

Another look at 84' Arnold...

[rjszar]

So it does have a seam. Will it indeed come with a switch out head as first proposed?

[CallMe_Snake]

Awesome, those Endo skull details look super sharpe. Love it. :)

[Chronicle CS]

No it won't have a seam.....

[Viper245]

Awesome, those Endo skull details look super sharpe. Love it. :)

Agreed Snake. There some great detail in there for sure.

[Webb]

By the looks we could hang on the wall.

[jaxon]

It would look even better in 1:1. It's a shame all the hurdles you have to go through. Of course there are going to be similarities, it's a Terminator movie with overlapping scenes.

[brucecamblzchin]

Well to be fair that was from 8 years ago or so and cost $49.

But yea, it's one of the worst figures of all time too :laugh:

Oh man, I remember I was like 'What is this figure!? It is godlike I MUST HAVE IT'

Nice night for a display?...Nice night for a display.
Wash day tormorrow, nothing painted, right?...Nothing painted, right:rimshot:

[PureInvasion]

:laugh: nipples or bust!

[Python]

The more I look at this, the more I like it and may have to grab one. Out of interest though, do we have a screen grab of Arnie with such high hair? Digital scan or not, it does appear to be a bit lofty (maybe the shadows are exageratting it?) The rest looks near perfect.

[A R E S]

I hope if Chronicle makes a 1/1 bust, Arnold will have a full chest with shoulders. That would be a day one pre order for me.

I don't think the half chest looks good.

But tastes are different, it's only my opinion.

[Dirt Torpedo]

I'd want the one from the digital scan. 80's hair for the win.

[rjszar]

Hey Paul,

Saw you post over at SSF that you would do two busts if you can, meaning a clean one as well. What would keep you from doing that, the license holder saying no because it would be confused with T1? Definitely need a clean one.....in 1/1 also if possible.

[marker2037]

Oh man, I remember I was like 'What is this figure!? It is godlike I MUST HAVE IT'

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Vitus]

Nice night for a display?...Nice night for a display.

[Enforcer]

You know this is a interesting concept, it being a wall piece and all. I don't know if it's $500 interesting, so price may be a major factor in me owning it...

If the price does go beyond my range of a few hundred dollars, I just want CC to know it will be incredibly hard for me to say no to this. Maybe this isn't a new idea to most of you. I don't know because I haven't been in this hobby for years. But at the very least it's new to me and I think it's a brilliant idea if it works for the piece, and this here is working...

A 1:1 version would be even harder to say no to but it's price might make saying yes to the 1:2 alot easier :p

[Darkhumor]

Another look at 84' Arnold...

This is sweet. I dont collect busts, especially ones that are this small. BUT... Im really tempted to getting it. Someone mentioned this is a wall bust? Will it have a light up feature? Any chance you'll be doing a 1/4 statue fig version?

EDIT: Hmmm.. now that I think about what I just said, there's no way to cover up his no no area if this were to be made in 1/4. lmao!!

[Viper245]

If this indeed a wall mounted bust, I might spring for it. With display space being at a premium, making use of wall space for some classy highly detailed movie pieces is a plus in my book.

[Enforcer]

Well I suppose it might be a base display piece. I look at it and I see wall written all over it. Even if the intent is to use a base display with it...I would still put it on the wall. So if that's their goal, I would like to request the ability to hang it on a wall so I don't have to make the mod myself. I think it will be a fantastic wall piece. My large man cave will be done soon and I need more wall items to put up. This will no doubt be the crown jewel of my wall collection as most of my stuff will be posters and wall scrolls. It never once crossed my mind to look for wall mount collectibles but it has now...

[Python]

Not sure if this is the final base...


http://i.imgur.com/B2ggauW.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/XuGGZ6b.jpg

[El Diablo]

hair looks much better looks like it was tweaked?

[Enforcer]

Yeah, "unfortunately" it is not a wall piece. I've been brain storming what to do since last night. I think I've decided to build or invest in a wall mount for it. I'm thinking the basic single satellite speaker plate mount should work like a charm. I'm also considering an alternative method but it's a bit more work to make it come out right to hide the mount behind the piece.

In any case, if I am to buy this, it most definitely will be displayed on a wall. Can't wait to see what the asking price is and hopefully me pre-ordering it. This might be something I just pay in full for if the price is right.

[Darkhumor]

Keep us posted on that Enforcer, as I would like to do the same thing. This would be so cool as a wall displayed piece.

[Nidgit]

It's funny. I much prefer it with the base shown above and think I'd be less interested if it was supposed to be wall mounted.

Would look good alongside the original SS Arnie and T1000 legendary scale busts.

[jaxon]

+1 for non wall mount. I think this bust looks awesome as is, just needs to be bigger, say 1:1?

[Enforcer]

I feel like I am going to be a big fan of wall mounting my bust pieces. If I look at the 1:1 endo bust I don't get those vibes, maybe because it's just a head at the end of the day. But this piece here is just screaming for wall mount trophy treatment. Even if that base is permanently attached to the rest of it, I think it'll still look good on the wall. I was thinking where ever I decide to have my main display area, pieces like this would be set up above on the wall to compliment the shelf pieces. It seems like it'll make for a nicer display overall when there's a mix of display styles rather than just everything resting on some glass or wood shelves.

I originally didn't care much for these kinds of collectibles. I felt they were sort of pointless. This piece here has changed my opinion. I just needed the right pieces to warm up to the design.

[Dirt Torpedo]

Not interested in a wall mount.

[Python]

Why are we talking about wall mounting? Was this mentioned somewhere? I like wall mounting masks, but busts, no.

[Dirt Torpedo]

Think the idea was put out after early shots appeared which didn't show the plinth.

This looks superb in THX's pics .

[Enforcer]

First shot angles gave off the impression to me it was a wall mount collectible in design. It did not occur to me that the chest area would be going outwards to mimic Arnold's upper chest in appearance, rather than a 'looking down at you' pose. I've been around hunters all my life so when I saw this piece for the first time I instantly thought of all the trophy heads on the walls at my father and brother's places, and how this would look amazing and better on a wall than any dead deer head ever will(imho)

I'm too new to this hobby to know any better. You guys have probably seen dozens of these things over the years. The reality of the piece put a small damper in my plans, but it will still be displayed as it's meant to appear. It's just going to take alittle more effort since I can't swallow putting this on a shelf and calling it a day.

[Darkhumor]

Why are we talking about wall mounting? Was this mentioned somewhere? I like wall mounting masks, but busts, no.

Its a 12' inch bust. It's small enough to hang up on the wall. Chronicles should make it an optional, wall hang or surface stand whichever one would prefer.

[jaxon]

Just put a small shelf on you're wall, end of story.....next

[Chronicle CS]

That is not the base, it's just a block of renshape because I had to have the plaque displayed for the show.

I have something very cool in mind for the base.

[Dirt Torpedo]

Do you have a release date in mind for this one?

as base would take inspiration from that for time travel

sometimes I still think about that project T800 1/4 posing time travel

[One Above All]

did Paul say when this will go up for PO?

Also how much will this cost?

Paul, please consider releasing this bust in its raw form, I.E uncolored ( grey color.)

Also is it possible to have a chest + shoulder + abs ?

Thanks

:thumbs2:

[El Diablo]

also Paul, seeing as you have the digital files, could you knock out a 1:3 statue :praying:

[Nidgit]

Very cool. Thanks for the exclusive pics guys

[rjszar]

also Paul, seeing as you have the digital files, could you knock out a 1:3 statue :praying:
The 1/4 was shot down (arrival scene), so why would a 1/3 have a chance? No nudity. I'm with you though!!

[El Diablo]

that's a good point forgot about that one getting canned :(

[Hunterkingxxl]

Maybe I missed it, but what's the deal with the seam? Is this gonna be a CoH piece? Why oh why on a bust where you cannot hide the seam?

[Darkheir]

Hey Paul, please could you confirm if you're planning to produce a 1:1 version of the '84 Arnold T-800 bust?

If so, will it be battle damaged, or clean?

[Enforcer]

There will be no seam on the finished product.

Also I still can't believe the arrival scene was shot down. It may very well be the most iconic scene of the franchise...if it's good enough for the film, why is it suddenly not good enough in collectible form....? Not that my life long dream is to own a naked Arnold statue, but still...

[Python]

that's a good point forgot about that one getting canned :(

I haven't seen the movie yet (I am working on that) But isn't "pops" young when he arrives? I'm sure there was an 84 like young Arnie in a leather jacket etc glimpsed in one of the trailers? That would be an awesome statue.

Actually, don't answer... spoilers and all.

[Python]

So this is planned to be $200! I am in!!

No it won't have a seam.....

NO SEAM!

yeah that would be a must buy statue (in 1:3 :D )
I don't know why but I hate that 'pops' name! :doh!:

[Enforcer]

It's got a pretty good price point they're shooting for. I am without a doubt going all in on this one.

[Nidgit]

I don't know why but I hate that 'pops' name! :doh!:

Oh I know why . . . . I hate it too.

It would have been a cool little tongue in cheek gag if Sarah had said . . . . "I had to give him a name so I've called him Arnie" :laugh:

[rjszar]

Hey Paul, please could you confirm if you're planning to produce a 1:1 version of the '84 Arnold T-800 bust?

If so, will it be battle damaged, or clean?

From Paul:

1/2 Arnold will be on display at SDCC, he's all finished and ready for prime time.

1-1 of the same bust is planned as well..


We're going to engineer the 1-1 to have the skull insert, transparent skin and painted down with real hair and electronics. Toynami does excellent life sized busts and based on the recent MIB bust I have no doubt this one will be epic as well.

[Kriegsfuerst]

This bust in 1:1 and I would instantly buy it

[predators87]

I saw last film .... was overall satisfied and I hope in at least one later

scene arrival Arnold 84 always makes its effect

It would have been a killer statue
immediate purchase

we hope that over bust 1 : 2 and 1: 1
Paul can also what
with glasses :buttrock:

So this is planned to be $200! I am in!!

Where did you see that price? Must have missed it :redface:

[Python]

Where did you see that price? Must have missed it :redface:

Paul posted it over on the freaks board.


We are shooting for a $200 price tag on this piece...

http://youtu.be/DKlbaU_uWpIHoly ----...another 3 or 6 months working on that and it would be Arnold practically reincarnated in digital form...the face is basically there already. 10 years from now we won't be able to tell the difference between real and CGI if enough time is spent on it...

[One Above All]

any update pix of this terminatoi bust?

:dork:

[Pilky]

Any idea when this will be going up? Any new photos, painted, possibly?

[One Above All]

every time i look at the chest portion of this bust,

..... it does not seem right...

I would be happier if this bust is only showing the Head and neck with out the chest portion

:redface:

[clutch]

Embrace the man boobies. Lol! I think it's the cut down the sides. Should be extended to include more shoulder.

what is it about the chest area that doesn't seem right? Because when i look at it, i don't see any glaring problems.

[Chronicle CS]

We didn't change a thing regarding the file, what we've printed is exactly what you saw on screen.

We should have the paint masters finished in a few weeks.

Paul

[Pilky]

It's been a few weeks, any updates?

[Chronicle CS]

Still waiting on the paint masters, as soon as they arrive we'll put this up for pre-order.

[brucecamblzchin]

love it!

[Python]

That looks very cool, Chronicle piece number two for me maybe.

How are the eyes being achieved? They look good from what little I can see there.

[El Diablo]

looks good, looking forward to the full reveal. Would've loved to have seen translucent resin being used after seeing what ecc achieved with there busts.

[azurepred]

looks good, looking forward to the full reveal. Would've loved to have seen translucent resin being used after seeing what ecc achieved with there busts.

hopefully the 1:1 will still be made. If so, they would prolly do translucent on that one. I imagine ECC or CM would be the ones doing it though

[rjszar]

That looks amazing. Looks like I'll be ordering a number of Chronicle pieces very soon, with this, hopefully the spider and the JP stuff.

[Webb]

Looks nice.Hopefully the battle damage side will be chromed.:rolleyes:

Thanks for the pics Pilky, looks awesome!!!

No problem, but thank Bruce Camblzchin. They are from an interview he did with Paul.

Bruce - only a few days until the show and the commercial is only on ten times an hour. They've shown the first scene and it looks true to form.

Mine.

[Python]

When is this one expected to go up? And did that super low $200 target stick? I only ask as I'm about to be charged for another item and I think I'd rather cancel it and have this guy.

[Chronicle CS]

Not sure on price, it's a rather large item.

We have a slight problem with Skydance that is delaying the piece, it's a ridiculous argument, but we're working through it....

Paul

[Python]

Is it likely to be in the ball park or significantly more? I didn't take the $200 target as a given, as long as it won't go up too much I'll cancel my other order now ready for when this does go up. It looks great from the side, looking forward to seeing the other angles and the final base design etc.

[clutch]

It's the nipples, isn't it? :)

1/2 scales is massive? I'm all over it. It'll go perfectly along with my CC Guardian and Endo, and all of my other Terminator statues.
Is soon within a week or two?

[Python]

Well it's LSB sized, and that's fine by me. Big enough to add plenty of detail, but small enough to display easily. And he looks amazing!

Good news on the low price also, I'm in...

[Dirt Torpedo]

Easy order.

[Webb]

FUUUUUUUU this one and then Conan.Skin color looks nice.

Such a cool piece.

Yeah how's is it massive ? Maybe he's talking about the details ? Confusing ?

[A R E S]

Most important question for me:

Will there be a 1:1 version?

I know that it was said so some time ago, but since things can change ...

[Adam_Warlock]

Please make 1:1 version. Full size Arnie or nothing for me.

[Chronicle CS]

Most busts don't include as much chest as this one and then having on a base, it's a big piece.

Paul

[Python]

It is basically a very nice looking LSB, or your version at least which is cool as I love that line. I can't remember if it has been asked yet, does the eye light up on this?

[Chronicle CS]

Yes the eye will light up...

[Mqhuynh]

Paul,
Will this be sold through AD or only direct from CS?

[Adam_Warlock]

I didnt realize the base was large I pictured this more like the PCSC sub zero bust. Similar shoulder and chest area. Still would like it regardless.

[Python]

Yes the eye will light up...

Thanks for the confirmation. :buttrock:

[generalzodlives]

Since I've ordered the 1:1 Endo, 1:1 skull, and 1:4 endo I may as well round it out with a 1:2 bust. Chronicle is killing my wallet this year but I can't pass up these pieces.

[Chronicle CS]

You should come down from OK and have a visit....

[ONEYE]

It's the nipples, isn't it? :)

That would be funny! Sad, but funny!

[generalzodlives]

You should come down from OK and have a visit....

I was seriously considering asking if that would be possible. Depending on the size of the 1:1 Endo, I didn't know if I could take a trip down and pick it up and maybe sneak a peak while I was there.

[Chronicle CS]

Of course, we welcome anyone to visit...

[Python]

Just got my 16 day notice for an item I'm considering cancelling in favor of this. I know you won't confirm things until they are set in stone, but can you hint as to whether this will be up soon and if the price will be in the ball park of the early target or significantly more?

Many thanks.

[Chronicle CS]

November 12th 5pm CST Pre-Order will open for our 1/2 1984 Battle Damaged Terminator from Genisys.
Full Reveal is coming soon.....
Price TBA....

https://scontent-dfw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/12188993_1636975213228984_1462708488939833575_n.jpg?oh=8fc9ea7e4150ac39b38b468ee5f5e6d3&oe=56AC382E

[Python]

Nice, that's the first part answered then. That side profile is perfect...

[Collectorcol]

Wow!!!

[CAIN MKII]

Very nice base :)

[Chronicle CS]

Since we are starting this with this product, I thought I'd throw it in here:

Chronicle will start hand numbering all products moving forward starting with the 1/2 Arnold bust.

We will offer that product for 30 days. At the end of the 30 days we will make the ES announced or lower it to fit the orders.

So if we set an ES of 500 and sell only 300, we will lower the ES to 300 and close it out.

In most cases we hit our ES, but wanted to be clear on what we have planned.

This will keep products more affordable and we won't keep stock.

When you order a product from the Chronicle website you will be given a number, it doesn't matter if you pre-pay or use a payment plan. Our retail customers will get the lowest edition numbers for buying direct.

Starting with the 1/2 Arnold bust it's first come first served and we will start with #1 and go up, we will not hold back the lower numbers, someone will own #1 Arnold.

We will not take requests for edition numbers no matter how much you ask, this is first come, first served.

If you purchase from a distributor, your number will be above the amount ordered retail through Chronicle Collectibles.

Paul

[Python]

I like this plan personally.

[Remember Me?]

Sounds good to me!

[Collectorcol]

I'm taking the day off for a low number :D

Oooo! 11pm.

[CAIN MKII]

I like it, nice move Paul :)

[Pilky]

This will be my third P.O. from you guys. This looks awesome.

[generalzodlives]

Can't wait to PO this next week.

[Dirt Torpedo]

Can you tell us the price yet and show a picture of the plaque?

[Chronicle CS]

The plaque is the same plaque as the Endoskull. All of these early Arnold pieces need to have the plaque due to it being so close to T1.

Price will be reasonable once you see how big this thing actually is....

[Dirt Torpedo]

instant order but the plaques got to go.

[Python]

How big is this out of interest? It keeps being mentioned how large it is. Also, will the price be mentioned before it goes up for order? Just so we can prepare.

[Chronicle CS]

14" tall, 8" wide and 6" deep.

I'll take a picture of me holding it....

Paul

[Chronicle CS]

Thong! LOL

[Chronicle CS]

Almost ready!

[Python]

Very much LSB sized then. That's fine, they aren't huge but I really like the scale for human sized characters and slightly larger creatures etc. I look forward to the picture. Just awaiting that price but I should be in for one...

Looks great!

[Dirt Torpedo]

That's going to tower over my 1:2 Kyle Reese.

Actually that plaque isn't that bad. I can live with that.

[Chronicle CS]

[qz33]

If this were life size I would be purchasing.
That piston in the back will look awesome.

[sewbacca]

Very nice! hoping production pieces will be close to the one shown.

[azurepred]

really considering this one considering how pricey a 1:1 would be.

[Darth Milo]

Base design looks great.. looking forward to the full reveal..

[Chronicle CS]

Factory nailed our Guardian, I have no problem believing they will kill it with this one as well...

Paul

If the hair had less of a sheen I would think its actually Arnold. Pretty excited for this one. Pending on price.

[azurepred]

Hey Paul, any chance we can get a fading out LED for the eye when powering off like a lot of 1:1 pieces? I always loved that small detail.

[qz33]

Man this looks amazing.

[Viper245]

This piece came out amazing but I am going to have to stick with just the 1/4 Endo. I only have so much room and I am not really a bust collector.

Congrats to all who are picking it up.

[Chronicle CS]

Eye will have a slow fade on the guardian and 1:2 bust.

[Mqhuynh]

Eye will have a slow fade on the guardian and 1:2 bust.

Hi Paul,
Will this only be sold from the Chronicle website or will authorised dealers get this too?

[Chronicle CS]

Retailers will get it as well, but support Chronicle, buy direct. ;)

You also get a lower ES number by ordering direct.

Paul

[Mqhuynh]

I would, but with the bad Aussie dollar and shipping on top it is hard to, unless CS can cap international shipping but I know that is not possible.

[Chronicle CS]

We don't make money on shipping, once it's up for pre-order we could estimate shipping for you....

Paul

[Mqhuynh]

We don't make money on shipping, once it's up for pre-order we could estimate shipping for you....

Paul

That would be great, if its reasonable I would definitely buy direct.
Also our retailer did not got any of the 1/4 Genisys Arnie statues for sale. Was that not offered to retailers?

[azurepred]

Eye will have a slow fade on the guardian and 1:2 bust.

sounds great. By guardian, are you referring to the 1/4 Arnold or something else?

[The SHOGUN]

Almost ready!

https://scontent-dfw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/12191788_1637153206544518_6098103248664614435_n.jpg?oh=445bad6a6d5c99145584bcc4fb2ba28f&oe=56C02949

This is gorgeous. Unquestionably the best Arnold portrait yet.

[Chronicle CS]

Guardian was offered internationally, but most didn't think older Arnold would sell and the orders were down. You can still buy a Guardian direct....

[Chronicle CS]

Just a few more days until this one is up for pre-order. He's the first on our 1/2 Bust series. We will be hand numbering these and someone will own #1, so be the first to place an order when it opens.

November 12th 5pm CST Pre-Order will open for our 1/2 1984 Battle Damaged Terminator from Genisys.
Full Reveal is coming soon.....
Price $350.

[qz33]

This thing looks so good. I love just looking at the pictures.

[Python]

I think we all knew $200 was very optimistic really...

I think I'm still in, we'll see.

[Viper245]

I must say this bust looks fantastic! Great job! I said I was going to pass but since Paul mentioned this is the first piece in a new line of 1/2 scale busts, I might reconsider. The price is a good deal especially with the light up feature. This bust was never going to be $200. Not in today's market.

[Dirt Torpedo]

Just a few more days until this one is up for pre-order. He's the first on our 1/2 Bust series.

Just womdering, will anymore of the 1/2 busts be Terminator related?

[clutch]

Everything hits at once. Pick and choose time...

[Chronicle CS]

Yes we plan a series of Terminator Genisys 1/2 busts...starting with this one...

[Enforcer]

Eh, I prepared myself for a $299 tag because of what it is, but not 350. I'm sure the pricing is fine and all, but I was only hyped about a 200 dollar-ish 1/2 bust line. At $350 I'm not sure I care about 1/2 busts. I think I rather buy this as a 1:1 head bust and without the chest for $500. The 1/2 scale with chest for "cheap" was a neat and interesting concept, but imho not $350 interesting. $350 is still $350 even today :D

I guess I'm still debating saying yes or no to this, but if future 1/2s are going to be priced the same I may as well bail out of my 1/2 plans.

For the record, because I know it's coming off as one of those "I knew I shouldn't have mentioned a price" things, my opinion would remain the same if I had never heard "$200" I can't stress it enough, at $350 I just assume save that money for $500 and up products. This bust is something I wouldn't usually buy, period. But I considered it for $200-$250 and even went to $300 if I had to. The only reason I haven't said no thanks is because it's just 50 bucks over my original limit I came up with last month, but there's got to be a line drawn somewhere...

Also I've got Trex and Anubis on my brain so that isn't helping me say yes to this :x I do think 350 is a good price for this now that I've thought about it since starting this post, but like I said...$350 1/2 busts are probably not for me.

[Pilky]

Even though $200 was mentioned, I never saw it being reality. $350 for what is shown, in the photos, seems reasonable. If they deliver what's shown, IMO, it's an excellent buy, plus there's nothing near this price, in terms of Terminator busts, of this quality.

[Chronicle CS]

This is why I will not discuss, price or show concept pieces any longer. Seems to cause hard feelings when things change.

I had hoped to do this for much less, but the piece wasn't half as big when we started designing it. When doing the bust if you didn't show the full chest it looked odd and like we were showing a pair of breasts. I mean I know that's not what it was, but by having part of the chest down to the stomach really made it look weird, this added dimension to the piece. Anytime electronics are involved it also raises the price.

We are considering an Endoskeleton and Clean 1984 Arnold 1/2 busts as well so you have the full transformation.

All three have been approved.

Paul

[jfyahui]

Price is good,and great news with the other busts..

[rjszar]

I would love to get all my collectibles for a song and a dance along with everyone else, but I think there is a lot of value in this. I look forward to the other busts in the line as well.

[Chronicle CS]

Thanks guys, I'll post a few pics of me holding it for size...

I'd definitely buy the Endoskeleton bust. I think it'd be quite a popular item. If anything would be a sure thing to sell out, it'd be this one.

WOW....thanks for mentioning 3 in a series....that changes everything for me in a good way...:thumbs2:

[sogonoraa]

Is there a 1:1 version of this bust on the way?
If so, how far down the road is it?

Thanks

[CAIN MKII]

I'm in the starting block :)
Fair price for a wonderful piece.
Let's chase n°1 :)

[Kriegsfuerst]

I'm also interested in this one but as a life-size bust. Paul, you probably will keep silent about this topic as you must fear there are collectors who rather would wait for the 1:1 version. I'm just saying, you can count me in...100 %...for the life-size version and I have at least 2 buddies who would buy one too.

[The SHOGUN]

If this is going to be made in life-size I will probably hold off on the 1:2. But if the 1:1 is not going to happen I would inclined to purchase this version. But I'm sure the 1:1 is still up in the air and nothing can be confirmed nor denied.

[Viper245]

1:1 is too big for my display space. 1:2 scale busts are just the right size imo. That scale is big enough to show detail on the piece and provide presence on display while being small enough not to take up large amounts of display space.

[Python]

I love half scale busts personally, this Arnie will be somewhat smaller then the other various creatures I have in LSB form, but he will be taking the place of my P2 bio and should fit in nicely, I don't mind a bit of cross franchise displaying and until CC give us an Arnie in the form of Dutch, it will have to do ;) 1:1 is nice for some things (such as the large bio here) but too big for many in bust/statue form. 1/2 is large enough to be impressive, detailed and easy to display, what's not to love.


http://i.imgur.com/qJWWuzK.jpg

[Enforcer]

This is certainly going to be an unique piece because does anyone expect another company to go this far on theirs if someday they get the license and decide to try it? I'm guessing no. I also guess that if people want it in 1:1 scale then they might consider buying this 1/2 because I'll bet the farm the 1:1's fate rests solely on how this sells :thumbs2: Which is what is really putting me in such a dilemma. I know a 1:1 is going to be on the pricey side but yet I find myself considering it. If I want it's existence to at least be considered, I need to pitch in and purchase this...

[Viper245]

I like the fact that Paul is thinking about making 2 more busts in addition to this one so that when all three are displayed it will show the transformation of the T-800. I think that will look cool and I hope it happens.

[Chronicle CS]

It will, let's hope this one goes fast.... ;)

[Viper245]

It will, let's hope this one goes fast.... ;)

Well, Paul, I just decided that I'll be placing an order for this piece tomorrow. I definitely want all three so I'll do my part and order this one in the hope that the others will be made. I think they will all display very well with the 1/4 Endo and will round out my Terminator display quite nicely.

[mjjj1987]

Can anybody tell me what time will this be up for PO in the Netherlands?

This won't be the first and last Terminator bust, there will be more right??

[Enforcer]

Netherlands are 6 hours ahead of EST, so 12 am when this goes up for pre order. Was it 5 CST? So 1 hour to me for 6pm EST, and from there, 6+ hours for you @ 12 AM midnight. Or, for future reference, add 7 hours to whatever time CC says.

[mjjj1987]

Thanks ;)

Early start tomorrow prevents me getting up at 12am to order.
Will have to settle for a higher number.

Will the metal be the same finish as the 1/1 bust?

[generalzodlives]

Low number is a nice bonus but as long as I get one I'll be happy.

The Chrome will be alclad, like the one shown, I can actually import it in smaller batches.
