Thanks to a couple of our forum members, a YouTube video was brought to our attention featuring T4's Roland Kickenger with a cameo by TheArnoldFans own Randy Jennings. In the image below, Roland is shown answering Randy's questions. Click on the image to see the video and to hear Roland talk a bit about McG and you can also hear some of the Austrian sense of humor that he shares with Arnold come through.
There's also an exclusive interview with Linda Hamilton courtesy of TotalFilm.com. Click HERE to see how Linda looks today while she discusses her Sarah Connor character and also mentions her role in Terminator Salvation. The Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 2 DVD will hit on September 22, 2009. Click HERE for details.
www.ActionFigureInsider.com just had a big interview with Playmates and the toy company that made the Terminator Salvation figures and play sets teases us that we will most likely get Terminator 1 figures from them as well! Can you believe that no toy company has ever picked up The Terminator license for action figures UNTIL NOW! Read on to hear about other Terminator action figures in the works, including a possible T-RIP Arnold!
AFi: Let’s get the big question out of the way. John Connor. Can you comment on why his face is hidden? Can we look forward to any John Connor figures with Christian Bale’s likeness?
PM: We did have difficulty getting Christian Bale to approve his sculpt, but am happy to report we now do have his approval and new John Connor figures without masks and goggles will be included in the 3.75” and 6” scale hitting retail shelves in Fall.
AFi: What’s planned for upcoming waves of Terminator product? When can we look for Wave 2 in stores?
PM: Wave 2 figures will start hitting shelves in August. Included in the Fall will be a 6” and 14” Harvester figures as well as a number of new 3.75” and more 6” figures.
AFi: I’ve read that Playmates is considering 3-3/4" figures based upon the previous three Terminator movies for 2010. If this is so, can you elaborate on your plans for such a legacy line?
PM: We have obtained the rights to do figures based on Terminator 1 and 2 and are planning a complete rollout of these figures in Spring 2010.
AFi: Terminator Salvation is said to be the first film in a planned trilogy. Does Playmates license cover any potential sequels?
PM: No, our contract was just to produce toys for Terminator Salvation.
AFi: Can we expect any figures based upon Arnold’s digital cameo?
PM: It is our understanding Arnold didn’t give his approval to appear in the movie until very late in the process, so if we do any figures based on Arnold’s look in Terminator Salvation they will not be released until 2010.

Finally, for no reason at all, here's an image of Arnold fan Faisal Munshi as a Terminator. He asked if we could show this so hell, why not. Enjoy.
