What do you think the Bruce Lee will look like? I want to get it, but again, getting iffy ... .

I think the bruce is going to be ground breaking, looks like Cm just gets better and better and higher quality with each release, the silicon used on Indy and GF to me is better and way more realistic than the silicon on the arnie and aragorn portraits, it has more of a translucent look to it like real skin as opposed to the heavily painted silicon they used on the arnie and aragorn ones, dont get me wrong I absolutley love the arnie and aragorn, but like I said they have definatly stepped it up as far as realism goes IMO, so to answer ur question, from protos looks like bruce will have the same silicon which really shows the pours and wrinkles they have added eyelashes which is a real treat and to me it looks like acrylic or glass eyes (not confirmed) but that is what it looks like and the costuming speaks for itself. For mr bruce is one of my most anticipated Cm's

Yes I am on the border line of completing the CM set, but i really cannot decide if I want 3 cm to represent the terminator franchise, but the more I look at the tx and t800 the more I want to add them to my collection, but Once the collection is up I just dont think it will look right with great iconic characters from all movies then 3 terminator ones. So I am keeping an eye out and if I can find a great deal I will probably pick one up.

the t-800 is a very iconic piece.

I'd forgotten how cool that Sideshow Pred was. I sold the excl. when I learned the CM was coming out because I knew I wouldn't have room for both. The only thing about the Sideshow is that the pose is more dynamic and he's a bit bulkier, plus the change-o head/helmet and stand really make cor an outstanding display. That said, I still prefer the CM because of the larger scale so it goes with the T-800 and TX.

the sideshow is more accurate. I love it as much.

Yes, well kind of. My adopted sis in the US has one on order which she is giving (selling) me. She got it in literally the last day they accepted orders. I called the next day after her and they had stopped taking orders. They did caution me from buying a used one that was not packaged properly. Apparantly, the endo has many many styrofoam pieces and inserts to protect it in shipping. I wouldn't mind seeing just a pic of this.

Very true Triology. That is a major signe when it continues to get your attention. Well said.

You bring up some good points on the Bruce Lee. As a result, I have decided I will give it a chance. Thanks.

I know what you mean by having the three TM franchise. I have the Arnold and the TX, and awaiting the Endo. They certainly will dominate simply because of the number from that franchise.

But I have ended up going all three. When they all display together I will decide at that point (probably will keep them all, lol).

I will let you know if I run across my travels on any good deals on those.

I agree. I have just started noticing that (I know, I must have been blind to it before).

Hey Enzo, I understand it is your opinion, and it is that which I valued that I base it on.
