Hot Toys - DX13 - T2: T-800 (Battle-Damaged Version) 1/6-scale Collectible Figure

[Maglor]

Lets not get too excited, its the prototype, it could yet go bad. Also, how bizarre to see you in here Mags!

Um... I think Jack Sparrow and Keaton Bats are the shining examples of what PERS should look like. That's just me, though.

Yeah, those a good too. But surely these are by far the smallest.

Thanks for low down. I appreciate it man.

I've been on eBay hunting for the Non-battle damaged T-800 items that aren't included in the BD version.

Bought the mini gun and bag, shotgun and the hands for them, plus sunglasses. Looking out for a non-BD head sculpt next. Trying to get them earlier before the figure is anywhere near ready, just in case others have the same idea.

Sure some of the poses with mini gun etc will perhaps not be completely movie accurate, but this is a damn fine figure and I need all the accessories to add to the awesomeness.

Can't wait.

I was on the fence with this guy but there are too many other things coming up for pre-order right now.

I might try to pick up the T-1000 piece seperately on evil bay though.

This has got to be my most anticipated figure in like 5 years or so... Just stunning, and I know they'll improve it more before release.

Well as we know Hot Toys never produces perfect figures. And most likely they never will.

I really had to mull over this or the Enterbay battle damaged t-800.
The sculpt of Enterbays is way better. But I would expect that for the 1/4 scale.

The damaged endo arm on Enterbays is all over the place though.

So pound for pound this is way better value in my opinion. That liquid form t-1000 is a must. Exclusive from sideshow per ordered.

Yeah, I see the comparison to 1/4 as a little unfair. We don't sit here and compare 1/6 to six inch figures either. 1/4 is bigger and more striking but call me set in my ways; I'm kind of used to statues in that scale.

This is

It really is the coolest accessory/stand/diorama they've done yet. Loving it!

I really Really REALLY dont think there's that much between EB's BD sculpt and the DX13 Fully BD sculpt. Far too many post's saying how EB's is better like there's a massive difference between the two.... there isn't

If we're comparing EB's production sculpt to HT's prototype sculpt then yes, EB's is MILES better. We'd have to wait and see the final product (HT's) before a legitimate comparison. Though I will say, after receiving my EB BD Arnold, it'd be DAMN hard for HT's to outdo it.

I don't think there is a big difference.

If you are very familiar with film stills and images of the damage and really scrutinize pictures of each figure, there is dramatic difference and most people are just comparing the damage, not the clean side. EB stayed as close to the film look as possible while taking small artistic license to make it look more like it was just Arnie's face torn away instead of makeup on top of his face and they did a great job of minimizing their departure from what you see on screen. Hot Toys pretty much did whatever they feel like, they made the depth of muscle tissue very deep, they left more skin than they should have, some of the Endo details are off.

Both figures look great and at quick glance it'd be hard to say one is really better than the other and even with scrutiny who is to say what is better, but if your goal is to have the piece be as true to the movie as it can be, EB is as close as you'll get and HT is quite far from it.

Well I'm still going to buy the hot toys version

 

[Voorhees27]

LOL good for you.

 

[Mr. EcKo]

Look at it like this .

EB has already released theirs
HT still has time to refine , tweak theirs
So the end result , HT will win just because they will want to win over their competitor .

You don't think Hot Toys has a 1/4 Enterbay Ahhhhnuld in their HQ studying it so they can make theirs better

 

[pred439]

I hope this figure comes soon.

 

[S. Griffin]

It's due in June.

Nope, the movie's been around for 20 years, if they cared, why not just do it right from day 1. Much of what the HT sculpt is off for comes down to a choice more than skill or effort. They chose to make te muscle layer thicker, they chose to leave more flesh than was torn away, there's no shortage of reference out there, hell, even NECA got it right and could have been used for reference. If HT makes the dramatic changes people are calling for, I'll be surprised and it'll only be because they can't atand hearing people like EB more, same reason we got DX10 after all the EB praise for their first T-800, HT has a huge ego and doesn't react we'll to it being bruised.

In HT's fanboys ear and out the other.
