Terminator 2: Judgment Day is one of my favorite action films. Making the T850 and Sarah Connor was no easy task. It took me roughly a month, on and off to complete both figures. I was going at it day and night - thinking, wondering, finding ways to pull it off.
Doing Arnold was harder than Sarah. The head was a stock Jim Maddox Frontline sculpt from Predator. The hardest time I had with Arnold was the jacket. Finding a biker jacket that would actually fit the body I used was difficult, not to mention a more muscular body that is similar to Dragon's Neo bodies. It's funny because I had the Arnold head to bash the T-850 for almost eight months before I figured out how to do his jacket. I finally found my solution while browsing through War-Toys one day. How could something so simple slip right pass my nose all this time? The jacket is a stock Dragon WWII leather jacket that I customized by adding buttons, a collar and a belt.

Once I got the jacket, I thought it was pretty easy from there. I was wrong of course because Arnie is huge. The height difference between him and Sarah in the film is quite drastic. That means I had two options - either cut the CY girl body on Sarah down or find a different body for Arnold that is bigger. Also, Arnold is a pretty buff dude. You don't need me to tell you that. I hated the articulation on the Joe and 21st Century so I spent another few weeks looking for a body for Arnold. I finally settled on using Worthfield's "Fulltime Killer" Andy Lau body.
The grenade bandolier was handsewn from pleather. I sewed his gray T-shirt and gave him some bullet holes too like in the film.
My Favorite Quotes from the movie:
"Hasta la vista, baby."
"Come with me if you want to live."
"No problemo."
