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

[cplhicks]

Hopefully you didn't play like you were 5

I often find myself saying that ''imagine if I'd had these figures when I was 10'' - well, I wouldn't still have them now if that had been the case, they'd be long since trashed, broken, degraded


But yeah, for me there's nothing quite like opening a new Hot Toys T1 or T2 figure....even if I ultimately end up criticising it after a few weeks, months or years. That first day is always magical. Even the MMS117, in fact, maybe especially the MMS117 being as it was the first proper Hot Toys Terminator figure we got.

You just described marriage perfectly

Oh and incidentally while I was taking reference shots I noticed this:



In the past I've accused Hot Toys of being inaccurate with their sculpting of the chest battle-damage but I guess I'd never paused it at this particular shot because that looks pretty close to what Hot Toys sculpted with that fleshy tendril running vertically on his right side. I thought they just made that up, I may have been wrong.

imagine they had this for reference
(though i don't understand why it was made. no such scene in T2. maybe it's part of final look experiments)

My DX13 is stuck in Chicago for couples days now from Canada.... custom better not playing with it!!

Looks like something they might have done tests on, smashing steel beams into it to see what the damage might look like or something.



Oh, and here's something I'd never noticed before. After their stay at the garage, not only did they plaster the T-800's wounds but they also taped up the holes in his jacket:




I was wondering why the bullet holes from after the Galleria/Pescadero scenes were so hard to see later on. This explains it. Now I don't have to bother putting bullet holes in a few of my figures' jackets. Tiny bits of tape on the other hand...hmmm, will I go that far....

oh that age of Cameron and natural effects.

With that kind of attention to detail it amazes me the continuity errors that slipped through the net - like that one at Pescadero where he picks up the black guard to throw him into the window and in the next shot of him hitting the window suddenly it's a white guy.

^^^ that was done to be racially sensitive just kidding I never even noticed it though! Good catch!!! I am amazed how you all notice such minute details and inconsistencies! Sheer brilliance!

attention to plot details, not to filming details
remember that rubber concrete ceiling support thingy later in the garage of pescadero. or pseudo-T1 arm, clean and metal from elbow to fingertips, used on T2 when T-1000 devastates him.
but those are filming mistakes. and these hidden bulletholes are a pleasant detail, like the terminator's shoulder turned around after the heaviest beating from T-1000. still haven't seen anybody doing it, including you.

that detail is widely noted in every "T2 mistakes" article.
funny things start when "mistakes articles" have mistakes within themselves. like 100% of them say that T-1000 has 3 arms in the helicopter (though he had 4) and 90% of them say that it's a mistake (though it's a feature).
but the thing that a-dev noticed i've never seen or read about. and how brilliantly it fits the scene where JK sees sunbeams through jacket holes. love those subtle details.

It arrived! The only bummer part is the little magnet came loose off the back piece of the battle damage head. I just glue it back with some super glue. Why hot toys put so little glue on the magnet!

Hi everyone,

I have a question about the LED head. Will keeping these kinds of batteries in the head cause battery leaks? Also, what is the safest amount of time I should keep the LED light on? For some reason the eye on the one I have will dim and go bright randomly. Not sure if the batteries are running out of juice or just a factory error...

Please let me know. Thanks.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I've had mine in my heads for years now, I really should check them

 

[BadMuthaDude]

The batteries died in my T1 semi bd head so I finally picked up a small enough screwdriver and removed the batteries from all the heads. I left the screws out too for easy access to the battery compartments. The batteries hold in the heads just fine without the screws and it saves me from the risk of stripping them which has happened once or twice already.

 

[Darth Fok]

What would cause the batteries to leak, I've never turned mine on and never check them in my figures?

 

[Master Wayne]

Have one of these, mint in shipper and never displayed that needs a home if anyone's looking. PM me.

I'm guessing most, if not all, batteries leak over time, especially those of ****** quality.

Well it only took me almost 25 years to notice the taped up bullet holes thing

attention to plot details, not to filming details
remember that rubber concrete ceiling support thingy later in the garage of pescadero. or pseudo-T1 arm, clean and metal from elbow to fingertips, used on T2 when T-1000 devastates him.
but those are filming mistakes. and these hidden bulletholes are a pleasant detail, like the terminator's shoulder turned around after the heaviest beating from T-1000. still haven't seen anybody doing it, including you.

Haven't I?








The joint above the bicep is spun backwards, elbow now bends backwards....unless I'm misunderstanding.

 

[dapro]

The odd couple...

 

[P.]

Haven't I?

yep, you did it! now we're two nerds ))

that tamiya weathering set looks so nice on yours, can't wait to get mine. i hope it can be erased if something is done wrong or overdone )

p.s. browsed through my photobucket as the only way for me to see my terminators yet, remembered again how gory HT details are.

my shelves are being assembled right now, soon i'll drive all my collections to my sight again finally

You chose wisely with those two. Hardly gets more iconic.

I think it was Vodoun who recommended that weathering set a long time ago, maybe even a year or two. I just prioritised other stuff constantly. Finally I went for it, no regrets.

It does come off, perhaps even when you don't want it to, just holding the figure can make some areas get fainter. I was actually wondering if there is a way to seal it on.

I've been thinking also of getting a proper DX13 body for my impaled T-800 like you've got there. My version of that is using the body from my old CREG Customs.....custom. The neck is ill-suited to the DX13 headsculpt and overall it just doesn't 'feel' like a complete figure. So one day if I see one for a decent price I'll get a DX13 body for it and drill through it like you did. Come to think of it, I still haven't weathered the clothes on that one.
