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

[PopCultKid]

I've tried to argue with myself a few times on why I don't need a figure, I usually lose the argument....with myself

As for keeping figures in the box, that's a whole other deal, I only opened my T-1000 a few months ago having had it since release On top of that I have about 10-15 hot toys figures still in sealed brown shippers and almost 20 truetypes from the last 3-4 years still sealed aswell

Myself consistently beats me in the battle of straight thinking

And that is a looooong frigin' time to have the T-1000 cooped up!

I have cut back over the past years TBH, I don't buy figures just cause there cool, I do try to keep in themes now a days. Not always the case as I still buy the occasional odd figure, for those I use individual figure cases an display them separate from themed shelfs. As for the T1000 I honestly don't know why I waited so long, its a great figure and displays nicely with the rest of my terminator collection

I was an old school collector from back in the 90's, I used to collect gijoe and 21st century soldiers and would buy one too display and one to keep sealed, I don't do that so much anymore, but I do with some of my favorites like terminator and spiderman, but for the most part just one figure usually at todays prices. As for the truetypes I like to have stock pile for whenever I do a bash or custom, better to buy them at retail then aftermarket prices, I'm also not a fan of the knock-off kind ether.

Oh ok so you display them but also have a sealed one.

Yes sir, but like I said not nearly every figure, since I started collecting hot toys I only get an extra on favorites, so mainly terminator and spiderman, wolverine and hulk. There's a couple of others but thats it, I'm not Mr. money bags so don't get the wrong impression, I realize now that may have come across as bragging, not my intentsion, just been collecting for a while.

Oh no I didn't see it as bragging. I was just wondering the reason for so many purchases You don't open. I actually should of understood. As I did the same thing when I was a lot younger with certain figures. Star Wars figures from the "worthless" era. As My buddy and I call it. So I wasn't really thinking. I think the sheer cost of these threw me off.

I hear ya, I think most of the gijoes and 90's starwars figures I have in my attic in boxes are still selling for the same they retailed for 20 years ago I guess everyone had the same idea back then, thinking they would be worth something like the old 60's and 70's versions, not so much

I never really collected to make a profit though, I just collected what I liked, still do. I have sold a few pieces I no longer wanted here and there, but I keep 95% of what I buy.

I had a very lean year several years back and unloaded most of my 90's stuff. Felt freeing lol. I miss a few things tho.

Got mine yesterday. I´m not completely blown away, as I think the head is too big. Looks a litte curious to me. Here some pics:

I agree, I have always thought his head was 10-15% too big.

Funny you should mention that because I'm on the brink of losing it again.

Do you turn the switch up or down to turn the endo eye one? I accidentally left it on for a few hours and it burned out and I want to make sure the switch is off.

Mines fine but the little stick thing is annoying

same problem. that little stick can't fit perfectly into the PERS hole, it's driving me crazy

Mine will move tho its just a awkward design.

Shave the end of the stick smaller

the problem, I think, it's not the stick, it's the hole. the hole is a little bigger, so it's kinda loose
