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

[Wor-Gar]

Every art store has them. I forget what they're called.

Molotow liquid chrome pens? I used some to touch up bits here and there on my NECA Terminators. They don’t cure the best, but they look great.

 

[Gipetto0812]

those liquid chrome pens take MONTHS to actually cure. I've seen a couple ppl online mention having to wait at least 3 months before they could touch the figure they used it on. Another poster mentioned they waited about 6 months. That's just too long to wait when a simple paint job could do the trick.

Gloss black primer base coat, then use some SpazStix chrome spray from the can and you'd be good to go.

Or, gloss black primer base coat, then (while still a bit tacky) use some brush on powdered chrome pigment.

I'm a novice but it still seems super hard to me to modify the appearance of the endoskeleton on such a small scale... I mean, on the t800 bd how can I rework very small surfaces of "metal" without overflowing or altering the blood effects etc...?

Well…pre-ordered the T2 Battle Damaged 2.0

Now I do not feel bad at all for selling my DX13. This figure I am definitely keeping. >

Nice! I missed out last time and am SO happy they’re revisiting this line. I pre ordered this & the 2.0 T-1000 and will instantly pre order Sarah if they do her. If not, I may cancel the T-1000 and just have Arnie

 

[Wor-Gar]

This looks great in the showcase!

 

[MaulFan]

All three figures look fantastic. At the moment, I'll be trying to squeeze the clean T-800 into my plans, but if I can swing it, would love to get the T-1000 too.

I’ve got all the originals and I’m trying real hard not to resist but who am i kidding

 

[Bluemonday]

I was waiting to PO this guy to see which I prefer when the galleria version is announced, but if that’s the base they’re giving him I think I’ll go with the BD version. I like the base better, and all the details will make for a great display. I also think the BD version has a better likeness to Arnold.

 

[Time Lord Collector]

The whole T2 line is coming home...

 

[HyperDrive]

I’m waiting for the Galleria/Pescadero/clean Cyberdyne version to go up for PO. Much prefer those scenes

 

[Bluemonday]

Yeah, the whole line does look really cool, but I just want one figure to represent the franchise, mostly due to space. If I have a standalone piece, I would also like to have a nice diorama base for it, if it’s available, like what comes with InArt’s Harry Potter or Jack Sparrow. My opinion could still change though when the official announcement comes out.

 

[Scout Trooper]

I wish they'd dial up the intensity in the expression, the blood and gore, and chrome on the sculpt.

I don't see it happening, but it was nice when Hot Toys was announcing updates to their figures for a period of time.

I hope the final release doesn't have the exposed left endo arm covered in blood, it's kind of bothering me the more I look at it.

But it also makes me wonder how the clean up of that whole show-and-tell went at the Dyson estate. Did Uncle Bob just flip it in the kitchen trash like a banana peel and hopelessly stain a dish towel getting the flesh cleaned out of the cracks and crevices? Mrs. Dyson has to walk a half-filled trash bag out to the dumpster, put the Christmas dish towels out a bit earlier than she'd like...

Did he just put his arm back in the jacket like that and track it dripping and sloughing down the sleeve all over the house? Who's going to be the one to ask him to clean it up? Not I.

Boy, what a night.

^We think a lot alike for example in Batman Begins when Bruce Wayne tells the partygoers to get out and within 10 minutes his house is in flames. I could see a few of the guests mingling outside wondering what the hell just went down when the flames erupt - thinking holy **** Wayne just burnt his house down.
