The Death Curse

Well, let me start off by saying that I'm going to end up blowing this hugely out of proportion because T2 is probably my favorite movie ever made. The T-1000 has always been one of my favorite movie villains. Patrick's character - and everything Stan Winston Studios created for it - really stuck with and captivated me...Back when I was six years old and the film first hit theaters, I even wanted my hair styled like his. Imagine THOSE family pictures... :lol Luckily, that never came to be. I've always wanted to own a piece of the T-1000 costume as well, but it wasn't until about a year ago that I found out it was entirely possible for me to do that. A friend pointed me to Hollywood Hardware, and after a while I finally decided to email the site owner (Thomas) and see what he had to offer in the way of our liquid-metal friend.
Turns out, among other things, he had a few bullet hits to choose from. Since those are my utter weakness, I opted to see what he had to offer. He sent extremely high-res, incredible quality close-up images upon request. He was efficient with his packing methods and gave me plenty of shipping options to choose from, which I totally loved, because I'm entirely too paranoid with shipping and packaging - especially overseas.
Furthermore, the entire deal was one of the smoothest and fastest internet transactions (on his end moreso than mine, hehehe) that I've had thus far, especially after so many awful/slow ones...You know, the kind where you're always on the edge of your seat because you're not entirely trusting of whomever it is you're dealing with...Nah. I felt pretty confident with this deal. Thomas responded to every email promptly and never left me hanging. He also showed quite a bit of patience and understanding toward this new Paypal user.
I'm sure there are quite a lot of you who totally understand how it feels to be a "Paypal newbie"...On top of all that, he even unexpectedly knocked off the shipping charges because he's a nice guy like that.
So I get the package today, after 9 days of driving myself nuts with anticipation. The hit looks exactly as pictured. I marvel at it for a few minutes, and then check the box to make sure there isn't anything else in it...To my total surprise, I find that he's even included ANOTHER small bullet hole with the order, along with a COA for both. I melted where I stood. haha!
In conclusion, Thomas is an AWESOME person to do business with, and I would not hesitate to buy from him again. In fact, with service like that, I definitely will.
Now, without further adeu, ON TO THE PICTURES!!
The chrome on this thing is still magnificent...It has a couple minor scrapes on the outer edge, but the rest of the hit looks shiny and uniform. There are a couple of areas that have eternal creases from being folded in on itself, but that's okay. Production wear at its finest, I say!
*POW!*..I've been shot! heh.
This is the extra that Thomas included. It only has a very small amount of chrome on it, and the color has darkened considerably over time...That said, it's still quite elastic and I think it's totally rockin'!
Here's a shot of both beside a quarter for size comparison.
