Q: Is the silicon head on my T-850 going to deteriorate? What’s the deal with this weird powder that came with my Cinemaquette? What if his hair gets messed up in shipping?
A:
We’d like to take a moment to answer some questions that have come up about our T-850 Cinemaquette and hopefully put to rest any concerns you might have about the quality and durability of the product.
Some customers have questioned the long-term durability of the silicon head. In point of fact, silicon has an incredible lifespan, maintaining its integrity and coherence for decades. The head is not merely covered with a silicon skin, but is in fact entirely composed of silicon, for better durability and overall quality. In addition, the paint that is used on the skin is also silicon-based (unlike other paints applied to latex, which has a very short shelf life) and should maintain its appearance for many years to come if stored in a dry place.
In terms of the hassle of dealing with the powder, we only included that as a last resort. Although we recommend against handling the face of the T-850 overmuch, we realize that it’s just human nature that collectors will want to touch the Cinemaquette’s head, and over a long period of time, if too much oil from human skin gets on the silicon, the face could appear shiny. The colorless powder is merely to prevent the shiny gloss, should it become necessary in years to come, and retain the proper matte finish. It should also be noted that if the silicon face gets dirty due to pollutants in the air or human skin oil, it can be cleaned with a Q-tip and a small amount of rubbing alcohol. The silicon skin may get shiny after the alcohol cleaning, but a simple, light dab of the powder will return it to its natural look.
As for the hair, each piece is individually hand-punched and no two are alike. The hairstyle of each Cinemaquette has been styled before packing, but we cannot guarantee that it will arrive exactly the same way, due to the vagaries of shipping. The hair can be styled by the consumer with a simple toothbrush. Additional instructions for care of the Cinemaquette’s hairstyle will be posted here on the site as necessary.

Arnold be President of the United States in 2008?
A:
Under the U.S. Constitution as it currently stands, no. Only natural-born
American citizens are eligible to run, and Arnold was born in Austria.
However, a lot can happen in 4 years…
Q: Is
there really a Skynet?
A:
Maybe there is and maybe there isn’t. I’d unplug the computer
at night if I were you.
Q: How
can I get a date with the T-X actress, Kristanna Loken?
A:
Yeah, pal. You’ve got a shot.
