Hot Toys DX46: Terminator 2: Judgment Day - T-800 (Battle Damaged Version 2.0)

[Darth Meda]

So excited to finally see a new Xenomorph and if you tilt the photo sideways there is picture of the T-1000 on the table looks like the actual figure is there on the far right too

 

[a-dev]

Oh yeah, and someone's holding a T-1000 at the right of the picture. You can see the back of his head and his police shirt. Looks like another Steel Mill diorama base.

 

[K1LLJOY]

I'm surprised they're doing more than just the T-800.

 

[HyperDrive]

Peep the clean T2 Uncle Bob!

I really hope it's the mall shootout look

It should be because of the sunglasses. It’s gotta come with the black tee to represent the Galleria/Pescadero clean look.

Yeah I really hope it comes with the black t-shirt + roses and all the stuff that came with the DX10. Would be the perfect clean T800.

So that’s a final battle outfit on the T1000. Really hope he has the early clothes too.

Are there differences in the earlier uniform, other than the boots?

Yeh different trousers. They are from the motorcycle cop outfit and have the stripes up the side.

Well, this is interesting to see this new release! I love Terminator but am new to any collecting, so when I saw the "Present Toys Future Warrior" release not too long ago, I picked it up, thinking that was my shot.
Now I see this being released and, oof, I suppose I should have passed on the lookalike.

For those far more educated on this world than I am, would the Hot Toys release be expected to be significantly better quality than the one I picked up?

Inart is doing some exceptional work. Their latest BvS Superman looks spectacular. Their The Batman figure is overall better than HT ( with the exception of the Wayne sculpt being a bit undersized). But yeah, what they got is the T1 licence, supposedly they are starting with a 1/6 Endo.
About the PT figure, no ofense but the Arnold sculpts are both atrocious (and I purchased both their clean and BD figures ) got a Kayak sculpt for the clean one and using a dx13 sculpt on the BD.
The pt bodies seem to be decent. But at the end of the day they are knock offs, how much better they’ll hold in the future is to be determined.
Regarding the clothes, to this day, there is debate of whether they used actual leather or not… at very least, I haven’t seen a post of flaking so far… but the details on the zippers and buttons and weathering is not that good, compared to the dx13. And those details are even better on the new one.
They are perfectly fine when you want to use them to display a second look/pose and have the HT’s one as the centerpiece…. But changing the sculpts is a must. (a simple trick/ mod is needed to connect a dx13 sculpt to the pt body)

Finally.

 

[JorjeCroft]

Yessss I was waiting to the clean version

 

[SmoothEmjay]

Well. Despite owning the DX13, I still caved and grabbed this.

Will be grabbing the T-1000 at least (I also have the old version of this). WOW this is getting expensive, huh.

 

[Frenchy]

 

[CollectorGuy]

I already have the og t-1000 and a dx-10 converted into the galleria look, but damn these new versions looks super tempting. Gonna be uber expensive to get all three figures.

 

[freestyla85]

Amazing what good lighting can do, compare the HT one versus those amateur photos.

You can also see the mismatch in skin tone for the clean T-800.

 

[davejames]

Hmm, thought I could live with my DX13, but I'm starting to worry it might look a lot more dated next to these other new figures...

 

[Only-When-I-Breathe]

I was gutted that I missed out on the original Terminator figures. The new ones look really good. I would probably favour the battle-damaged version over the clean.

 

[Monkey-bite84]

Take this as you will, but I hope the T-1000’s helmet is the correct size

The originals is huge on his head when compared to his look in the film.

I know I know, it was designed that way by HT to be a break apart helmet to get it around his but it just looks a bit silly.

A separate HS with the helmet permanently attached would be the way forward, at least it would look right and not completely oversized/ bulbous therefore looking a bit ridiculous.
