I love him. Only problem? I can not, for the life of me, pop out his regular arm to put in the robot one. It is damn near impossible. I've tried 3x now to no avail to get the regular arm out. What is the secret?
 
Those who have'em for several years: heads up.

My belt just ripped a few days ago. Kinda fell apart.
Also the head connector became kinda brittle.
The head falls of very fast now.
But the faux leather is still great on mine...

Yes I seem to recall it was very difficult. It's a pain in the backside but you'll need to break out a hair-dryer and heat it up.

really? I've heard of people doing this with figures. How long should I heat it? Should I set it on low? Is there a risk it will melt him in anyway?

Well I've never damaged a figure with a hairdryer. I even use the highest setting. Just don't hold it right up against the plastic. It softens joints so they can usually be separated with ease.
 
Man HT did such a great job with the Terminator line and we were lucky to get all them figures but i do wish they finished off the series and gave the people what they really want which is a Terminator 1 Kyle Reese and 1984 Endo.
 
I was happy with this figure at the time, but the head looks too small now, especially standing next to the later figures. I fitted mine with a 2nd DX10 head, for continuity, as i have my DX10 with minigun, and 2 versions of the DX13.

It worked :) Thanks again. Now afterward, I had some difficulty getting the original arm back in and the robot arm popped out a little too easily at times but the point is it worked and I had fun with it. Even changed his shirt. I think I might even like the tan one better. I'll have some pics up when I get a chance. Terminator, Kirk and Spock, Hulk(of course lol) it was fun.
 
Wow. I love the way getting shot up made his head get bigger and fatter and his hair turn into an afro! :wink1:

Seriously though that was well done. Alas I cannot accept it as canon.
 
Just bought this from someone. Mine doesn't have the original body, because the arm doesn't fit on. It is a Hot Toys body though. Is it a thing to change the body on this figure for some reason? Someone enlighten me please.

Might have been changed out to the TTM20 for better articulation in the elbows, the original figure has a single joint at the elbow, the TTM20 has a double jointed elbow, could you provide a photo of the body so we can id it?
