…because apparently I won’t find him in toy store aisles.
Well, that’s not entirely true. A figure called John Connor will be available as part of Playmates 6″ Terminator Salvation line. But because the rights to Bale’s likeness weren’t secured at the time the line was rushed into production*, the John Connor figure is wearing a full helmet that covers almost his entire face. But it’s totally John Connor!
You can find Action-Figure’s full rundown here.
P.S. What’s with the red arm stripe? Makes him look like a freakin’ Nazi stormtrooper.
P.P.S. I totally know who’s under that helmet! It’s the Steel Brigade guy.

the new terminator line and the new star trek stuff takes me all the way back to '94, in a bad, non-nostalgic, crappy-quality way

My bad, I thought this was the 1/18th version. So you'd think getting Christian Bale's likeness would be a top priority for a Terminator line.

I wonder if the 3-inch Bruce Wayne head from the TDK line will fit on him?

I could tell it was Bale because he cussed me out when I walked by him. Said we were done professionally.

I love this toy line. And I BOUGHT the John Connor.

I walked past an endcap of these figures on Saturday, stopped to check out the endoskeletons and was affirmed my general feelings of "meh" with this line. If it's a robot focused line and they can't get those right, we shouldn't expect much for the humans.

Nah, I totally recognize him. It's all in the shoulders.

I now got to see these in person as my TRU is stocked up. I wanted to reserve judgment until I could see them in person. These really look like crappy toys.
