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

[Johnny Utah]

I still can't believe this is happening. For YEARS, it was requested and rumours swirled. Now it's happening, it's real, and people still *****. Yes, the price is steep, but it's a true Grail piece. Sold.

Slick looking figure, but I still prefer the Galleria version and the BD lifesize bust is all the BD terminator I need.

Prices are fricken retarded by the way. Don't kid yourself into justifying the price. If you buy this, its because you LOVE the character. Passerby collectors need not apply.

And to think I paid $500 for my BD Arnie bust brand new.

HT T-800 has a better prosthetic makeup

That was an amazing price even then considering it was already sold out.

I had it cleared at $800, which was quite a bit more, but looking back it was a great buy for me.

Totally. I'm not exactly saying that the price is beautiful.., but prices will rise - it's an evil we can't really get around. I paid almost $300AUD for the 89 Jack Joker - & it was a must have. Same with Keaton.

I wouldn't dare imply that I'm a bigger Arnold / Terminator fan than some folks around here.. but I'm still a huge fan regardless - & this new Arnold is a win all round.

I'm sold!!

better than EB I presume you mean. What they've done is beautifully executed, no denying, but EB's battle damage is more accurate. HT, as they often do, have taken artistic license. At least so it seems at the moment.

Still an awesome price imo.

It's still just a prototype too.

True, I just can't fathom why they'd get it wrong after all this time and all the referance thats out there - even for the prototype - unless they did so by choice.

Well given the 8 month long wait for production release, i'd assume it was sort of slapped together to "annoyingly compete" with EB's sneak peek.

Well in fairness to them its a hell of a good 'slapping together' if thats the case.

 

[Voorhees27]

Well I did say "sort of"

BAM!

They did it right with 1/4 Endoskeleton (a prototype too) so how could they be wrong with the BD Jaw that is so ridiculous Plus the right hand is wrong totally

 

[PopCultKid]

This is sick! This piece is easily their coolest Terminator release to date.

But am I the only one that finds it to be a weird move on their part to choose this to be the next DX while the previous T-2 DX is still on PO? I mean there has to be some buyers remorse and consumer anxiety going on having both of these in front of you to choose from ( a least for the non completist and more casual fan).

I would think to be a proper evil toy company you would stick T-1 police shoot version and maybe even Reese in the middle, then reveal this once the DX10 is sold out

Not when your primary concern is to release every exact same figure Enterbay does.

They tend to send out a stock form e-mail response, but no worries. If enough people say something, the people in charge should see it.

Tell them.

I hear ya. But I think that's a bad business approach too. Theyre already in direct comp with each other. Why go head to head on the same exact piece.

I'm sure it'll sell incredibly well because it looks bananas. And I'm sure there are reasons greater than a who has more in their pants contest as to why they're both doing the same version.

I guess it just my own selfish hopes of want to see a police station shoot out Arnie and a Reese before all this other stuff
