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

[a-dev]

Only preview night? I thought that was yesterday (not that I saw anything)

 

[BadMuthaDude]

It's tonight. I haven't seen the time explicitly stated, but the schedule has events starting at 6:00pm. Pics will be up shortly after that, I'm sure, since people will be scrambling to be the first to post them.

So I shouldn't expect anything till about midnight at the earliest from my POV then.

 

[BadMuthaDude]

I'm 3 hours ahead of Pacific Time, so I imagine it'll be between 10:00pm and midnight before pics show up and I'll be sleeping. I hope to wake up to massive galleries of SDCC goodness.

I dreamt about a police shootout/BD T-800 last night. Not that I'm in any way expecting to read or see anything pertaining to that.

 

[BadMuthaDude]

I'm hoping it will make a surprise appearance. I have high hopes since HT has really improved on both the Arnold likeness and his body type.

 

[a-dev]

I have a feeling there won't be anything of interest to me beyond a few NECA items to be honest.

 

[BadMuthaDude]

A man can dream...

 

[sixth_sith]

There are always surprises!

Production can have a way of altering the process for the good or bad...

I'm eyeballing

1) Meat chest issue

2) The real leather wasn't ready at the time of proto so the battle damaged jacket is actually MMS 117. So let's see, did they damage up a bunch of DX10 leathers or did they remake the MMS 117 jacket so they could do the damage easier.... drum roll

3) Body type - a detachable arm worked on the MMS 117 but doesn't look so easy on the TTM 20 body. The contradiction here is, the PERS neck joint vs MMS 117 male neck.... What gives... drum roll

4) M16 machine gun? dunno if I like that... how about a damaged thumbs up hand...

Word collectors!

 

[BadMuthaDude]

I don't think they're going to switch to real leather for the bd jackets.

It looks like they used the new body with the old arms on the proto. Maybe things will change on that.

word bad mutha, but they did switch to real leather on the DX10 which was also shot with MMS 117 leather...

How do you get new body in those proto pics? the old arm type would never fit... AH who knows.... lol Can't freakin wait

The DX10 was promoted as real leather, while this one was promoted as "leather-like."

Exactly as I said, the proto for the DX13 has the new body, but the old body's single jointed arms on it, I suspect. People on these boards can pull off that kind of switcharoo easy enough.

Snap, good one Bad Mutha~ I didn't know it was promoted as leather like! that is great news.

But I don't think that the body single joint/double joint is an easy fix at all, something is a foot there

They are including a damaged thumbs up right hand

It is. People have mostly swapped them to give Bane doubled-jointed arms. It's very straight forward. I think it's even been done on the DX10 for the endo arm attachment.

it looks like they went with a skinnier body type?

 

[a-dev]

That right arm would benefit from a double-jointed DX10 elbow.

bad angle, bad camera .....

[highlander1]
