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

I think its hilarious that whenever some one or a group of people even slightly defend HT, then they are a "Fanboy" or "Apologists" or in this case "Nuthugger".

Why?

What to do? this or the Cyberdyne version

Yep!! im in the same boat. While this is cool as hell, i still would like a non damaged terminator.. the good thing? this wont be released for 8 months

Why?

I don't understand this need to declare a "winner" between HT and EB. Whichever one you want to buy, that choice does not become less valid because everyone doesn't agree with you.

I like good looking figures ( this is an awesome one!), whether theyr'e HT or EB, it doesnt matter to me. But there are many who will overlook obvious issues on a figure, and defend it like they own stock in the company. For example the leaky DX2 Bats. I still find it amazing that people STILL bough the fig, even after i was clear it was a POS. If you want to come out and defend such a fig, then prepare to get peeps come out against you.

$300 is pretty steep for a single figure, But it's worth every penny imo. Ive been waiting for this figure to happen for years, and it looks just as good if not better than I had hoped. And considering all of the accessories and features it has, $300 doesn't seem so bad when compared to figures like the DX 08 which was $275.

Probably the best comparison you could make in terms of what's in the set would be the Marcus Wright.

Yeah we're talking 3 years apart and all, but if any figure has as many similarities to this set, it's him. Both have 2 coats, and at least one of Marcus' had damage to it. Both have a heavily exposed endoskull head, exposed endo arm parts.

Now, factor in general higher cost of HT figures today, plus each portrait on T-800 having posable eye technology and one electronics, more accessories, a near 2nd figure included as an accessory and honestly, I think within the realm of today's rising prices, DX13 is not like the big leap into standard figures costing $300 but rather, setting that $300 gets you a robust figure where the average figure is now $200.

You get this for $200 now.

$300 gets you all of this.

Yes it's a high price for a figure, but all figure prices are high, within today's market, DX13's price is rational, in any other sense, it's irrational, but all prices are, not just this figure.

I REALLY like this fig, and while cool, $300+ is steep for many of us here. The scary part is that this means next fall, the DX's will probably reach the $400 mark. ID rather get a nice non DX for a fair price, than all the other stuff, that id hardly use. I have the Indy and Bruce Lee DX's. and they were $50 to $70 less than this and had the environments, a second set of clothes, etc...

Probably the best comparison you could make in terms of what's in the set would be the Marcus Wright.

This is worth the money to me. Lots of cool bits here and I'll be happy to lay my money down to get him.

 

[BadMuthaDude]

Fanboys and haters. As soon as one of those terms comes out, you invalidate your opinion as far as I'm concerned.

Fantastic looking figure; the first Terminator I've actually considered getting as it's more than just Arnold dressed in leather. The price is steep but given the number of accessories I believe it's worth it so long as the headsculpts turn out as good as the prototype and don't end up looking like that terrible Terminator DX figure they just released a few weeks ago.

 

[FDS]

Holly Molly! WTF wowwww, im freaking out here man!!! that is freaking awsome! I thought terminator fans like me will be flippin out here, thread after thread, but no. I'm i the only one excited about this? I read someone saying that HT don't have lisence or some thing to do the BD version and then i see this from no where, no news or hints about it wam bam and there it is a BD version eith a awsome T-1000, always wanted it like that, and the one where hes all blown up with his head upside down and twisted. Anyway this is just awsome, i know EB face looks 100% spot on amazing, but this too is awsome, i thought the DX10 looked nothing like him. No thermintor stuff comming out and then wham bahm they hit you with so many, from HCG, to HT, EB come on sideshow, its your turn to bring some thing out!

theres nothing wrong with the DX10 sculpt.

 

[2ndname]

Hmm, half a grand and I'll get the best of both world - DX10 and DC13. Time to sell some older figures!

 

[BadMuthaDude]

If you don't like the DX10 sculpt, why do you like it now that it has battle damage? I understand the issues with the paint on the final product, but you can't say the likeness is poor on the DX10 then say this one is good.

 

[Sage Yautja]

That's the headsculpt im talking about! Spot-on Arnie! Marcus Wright is my only figure from the terminator license line. Let's hope this DX13 turns out like the prototype, then I would consider buying the figure.

 

[MagnumOpus]

DX13 has better likeness, DX10 looks like Arnold for sure but a version who comes from another timeline Lastly I like DX13 a lot but you talk like it's price is normal cause the figure has heavily special make-up

 

[MaulFan]

Reference photos of the semi-BD look too, comparing them, I think again, HT went a little to deep with the revealed Endo bits and show a bit too much muscle.

All that said, it's still a very impressive figure and definitely has my consideration.

It looks just about perfect in this video, even the exposed endo bits look to be shiny or "chrome" like.

 

[MagnumOpus]

The pose is awesome in that video And the jaw part looks more accurate, that's strange...

 

[Ash Housewares]

Looks stunning in the video. The endo parts looks amazing. Damn I'm gonna need to get their updated endo too.

 

[DEATHASYLUM]

I think that looks awesome in the vid and what a great pose too. Happy with the decision to get this guy, even though the price was steep.
