The Original Terminator

deathstroke

Just wanted to highlight this photo I took, which I’m pretty pleased with (though I may re-stage it, with darker lighting and maybe some background to give it a context).

I remember Deathstroke’s solo title came out around 1991 when I was obsessed with Terminator 2. DC made sure to push that “Deathstroke the Terminator” nickname back then, which was fair, since ol’ Slade Wilson predated the first Terminator film by a few years. I never picked up the comic, but I remember thinking Deathstroke looked pretty badass with all those guns and swords. For the record, in a straight fight i’d have to say Deathstroke would demolish a Terminator (except maybe the T-1000).

    Man he comes with a shitload of accessories. Now I want one to taunt my Nightwing.

    I wish I could find the masked version. What does it say that I got both the variants in DCUC 3 and have yet to see the standard?

    I take it there’s a string hidden somewhere here…?

    @Wes: I took the shot on a clear stand, then edited it out with Photoshop.

    Ohhh — I was thinking the photo was unmodified. Gotcha. :)

    Well, it beats the previous method of throwing the figure through the air and hoping you time the camera right.

    I lost more accessories that way…

    That’s probably going to be my favorite of the wave, and Deathstroke’s definitely a bada$$. However, Deadpool will always take first place in this nerd’s heart.

    CHIMICHANGA!!!
