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

[P.]

Is this worth buying?
Considering prices have gone north of £300!

i don't even like T2 movie and i have 6 of them.
is it worth buying at least two for somebody who loves the movie?
i don't know what else to say
that's the best ht terminator to date.
because they stole the whole figure from another company

It's well worth getting!

There are a few sellers on eBay but being from China I need to make sure it's legit. Ha

I think it's tied with MMS136 (once you put the pants and boots from MMS238 on it). Since the DX13 heads aren't perfect either for their own reasons I've come to rate those old squashed 136 heads pretty much the same. And as far as the overall packages MMS 136 could hold its own with 2 headsculpts and the arm surgery stuff.

well that's why MMS136 can compete (unlike DX10) but not win: it needs clothes replacements and it has no skeleton parts.
out of the box 13 beats him, and for an average fan out-of-the-box condition is very important.
and that guy asked whether it is worth buying or not )

Great pic, man!

Are fake HTs really a problem, other than maybe Wolverine and IM?

The relative lack of endoskeleton, yeah, that's true enough. A casual fan will want endoskeleton on their Terminator figure. Having said that I did replace the jackets and in some cases the pants on my DX13s, I personally wasn't happy with the tailoring on the jackets - they overcompensated for the MMS117 problem where the front would be too wide open and this resulted in the front being too closed on the DX13 jackets, therefore obscuring the chest battle-damage more than one would like. So I went with MMS117 jackets for most of mine, that was expensive though. Thus for me both figures require clothes changes.

Having said that I don't think most people care that much about something like that and you're right that the presence of endoskeleton parts will be more important - therefore DX13 wins, out of the box.

Picked up this guy from China. Everyone needs an Arnold in their collection.
I am not a huge terminator fan but hot toys did a great job on this figure. It's also iconic and T2 was a great movie, just re-watched it.

Very accurately summarized! Out of the box to me dx13 / in spite of some issues / is the best ht release ever! It's just remarkable on both accessory and looks

Mine landed in UK yesterday. Heard horror stories about ems clearance time from HK! Should paid full whack for DHL.

Are you guys removing the battery from the head or leaving it in there? I hardly turn it on.

 

[Rambler]

I always take out the batteries from my figures. ALWAYS

 

[YankeesFanboy]

The battery's inside the head and not separate? Mine's still MISB, still haven't taken him out.

Oh yeah, tons. I haven't cracked open a figure since ChromoCop back in the fall.

I don't take the batteries out. I can say that the batteries in my default full BD DX13 have already failed, they haven't leaked but they've already pretty much run out after minimal usage. Same goes for some of my MMS238 T-800s.

Finally I have purchased one of these, after wanting one for years, it doesn't come with any heads but it was a super price.

Anyone got the heavy damaged head for sale?

 

[nekromantik]

Anyone else here ordering from China to UK get stuck in customs for a long time?
