And I'm a huge Arnold/Terminator fan, so I'd totally be down with getting a John Connor figure to pose next to the mighty T-800. But if there's a chance that a bike-less John will eventually be released at retail and I'll actually be able to personally inspect the figure before buying to ensure that he doesn't have eyeballs on his fucking forehead, then yeah, I'll be giving SDCC John a pass.

And yeah, the likeness isn't great. That's just a fact. But it is cool that the T2:3D head is included, at least. That one looks a little better, actually.

Yeah, typical story...emotional problems from growing up in the spotlight, drug/alcohol addiction, mass Twinkies, etc.

I didn’t quote you when I made that statement, but believe what you want about Newt.
You guys are being way too critical IMO, and even you aren’t buying the figure. Your probably passing because the price range which is one of my other points in my statement. $50 for John is high because production costs, which is more than any Ultimate...even the new Predator.
