Sideshow Toy gets a head with these stellar newly released limited edition collectibles

After seeing TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES, many viewers secretly wished they could get a good look at the bust of Kristanna Loken, who kicked ass as Arnold Schwarzenegger's nemesis, the TX. Now, courtesy of Sideshow Toy in affiliation with Stan Winston Studios (who created the new Terminator for the film), you can at least get inside Lokken's head as a phenomenal 1:1 scale bust of the TX endoskeleton has been lovingly reproduced in this limited edition 15"-tall item. All the detail has been reproduced, plus a flip of a switch lights up the TX emulating the striking blue glow from the movie. At $499 a pop, it's a bit pricey, but then again, sometimes fans will go to extremes to own a piece of their favorite film franchise.
