Re: Hot Toys - DX10 - Terminator 2 - DX T-800 Cyberdyne - Official Specs & Pics
I would be happy enough with one state of BD for the chest but yeah you make a good point that a slightly less torn up T-shirt over the full BD body would be enough to recreate the partial BD state after the SWAT shootout. I don't think HT will bother providing a full-BD T-shirt and a partial BD one though. Which is fine because it would be doable oneself using an MMS117 one.
The knee damage - I don't think he sustained that until he jumped off the sliding liquid nitrogen tanker but again, you could have the endo knee simply hidden by untorn trousers if you wanted to display a SWAT shootout T-800.
Just finished watched T2 to refresh my memory and figured I'd create a list of what would be required to make the ultimate BD T800. I'm putting this in here as I think it's more likely Hot Toys will include the most with their version seeing as Enterbays being at 1/4 scale is gong to be expensive enough as it is.
Ok to start off with is the end of the Cyberdyne scene;
Partially BD headsculpt
Partially BD upper body/T-Shirt & Jacket
BD to left knee
BD gloves
Steelmill scene;
Fully BD headsculpt (hopefully with a LED right eye but that may be pushing things)
Fully BD upper body/T-Shirt
Separate BD left arm
Same level of BD to left knee and gloves
Accessories needed would be would be;
Pistol
M79 Grenade Launcher
Gas Launcher (not sure of the specific name but it's used after he's got BD at the end of the Cyberdyne scene)
Steel pipe
*feel free to add your own suggestions to the list as I'm sure some Terminator experts will see some glaring omissions
Looking through that list I guess really Hot Toys could really provide it all without any problems, the varying levels of BD to the upper body could be a problem but if it is I doubt anyone going to throw a hissy fit if they did just provided him with one level of BD to that area (they could do both just by providing two different T-Shirts). They've done removable arms with at least 2 Ironman figures so there shouldn't be any problem doing the BD left arm I wouldn't have thought either.
Anyway just wanted to put my thoughts down on paper so to speak
