Oniri Créations: The Terminator (Schwarzenegger) 1:4

Looks like the classic pose. And even with the filter on that image, it appears as though the jacket is sculpted. Great news if so.

Not making any judgments on it just yet... I saw on Facebook saying it is fully sculpted.

Sideshow and Prime 1 had versions of the Police station Scene and they were both pretty good. Prime 1 is a 1/2 scale with switchout portraits at $3k and Sideshow was a 1/4 scale.

Oniri did the Robocop in a very similar pose to PCS and now I believe this T1 is a mix of Sideshow and Prime. arm extended like SS but looking forward rather than sideways like Prime 1...

I hope it has a couple of switch outs

@bearmdel
The Sideshow portrait looks off.
The Prime 1 portrait looks better.
For me, the best statue representation of Arnold when it comes to the portrait is the PCS Conan

Why release an image with a filter that detracts?
Best wait for more/better images

I was checking the Original T1 premium format when it came out and the cost was $324.99...

Yeah, you read it right.... in 2013 this 1/4 statue cost less than $350.... I have a suspicion that Oniri's Terminator ill be around $1100.... similar price to Robocop.

Wow.... I still think I'll pre ordering it unless it is bad....which I doubt

I know...they had an opportunity to do something different but....

However, I don't have the Sideshow Premium Format and P1 is 1/2 scale and 3K so this one will be fully sculpted and a good one to have...

Thats one reason they keep raising prices. We as collectors will notice the higher costs, but when something speaks to us personally we all do the same thing. "---- this is expensive! F these prices.........but I'll order just this one...." lol

I think they are many reasons why the price is going up. I don't like to pin point greed being the main reason. The price of these statues that were around $400 back in 2013 are now around $900 on Ebay so to get one, I might as well get a new version which I think it will be better

I limit my collection because of space and price and I think many collectors at the same level I am regarding funds, are doing the same but we all know this hobby is not a cheap one and I do what I can to get only the pieces that mean something special to me, from my childhood or a significant time in my life. That is why 80's movies like Terminator, Robocop, Predator are on my list and I add the Velociraptor I just got from Prime 1 because that was a special time in my life.

I'm hoping that someone will do a E.T. and another Indiana Jones but I think it will be a while. In the meantime, if I can get the T1 saving $20 a week for 12 months to pay for it, I will do that

Cheers
