Hot Toys - MMS 117 Terminator 2 Model T-800 spec + hi-res pics

[MaulFan]

There was a bit more emotion in the Wolverine sculpt as well. I really dig seeing something a little different over the dead pan looking sculpts we've become so accustomed to.

Yeah, Wolverine's great. I think it comes down to the character and whether an expression on the sculpt is too scene specific or suits the character. With Wolverine and the T-800, the intense, focused look really fits their behaviors. With Marcus, I can see going more neutral as I don't think there's any one specific expression to sum him up. Connor's more a let down in the expression department, Marcus has a bit to him but Connor really looks like he's spaced out, I mean he does't look deer in headlights like a badly painted figure, but he just looks devoid of any emotion, like he's just there, in taking photos of him, I found poses more action oriented just didn't quite sell the image I was going for because the face just didn't work for an action scene.

This T-800 is going to be great for photos, between quality and the emotion on the face, I think I'll have as much photo fun as with Wolverine, though a bit restrained until I get more figures from this line.

If this guy were full scale he'd be bigger than Arnie was in the film.

Looks good though.

Is the shotgun one solid piece?

This figure is almost perfect on every way except the not so articulate arms and the long legs, too dame long.

 

[MaulFan]

I really think they made this body with making T1 figures in mind, it's a bit beefier looking than T2 Arnie, and a bit smaller than T1 Arnie, right in the middle where it can work for both.

This figure sucks! Who's responsible for this monstrosity? I want my money back! Thieves!

Don't take it the wrong way, I welcome the added bulk, it makes him look intimidating. Only thing I will want to change is to somehow get the jacket to sit tighter on the body especially around the chest. There's a sort of limitation to how realistic 1/6 clothes can drape around 1/6 bodies, I understand that. Maybe with some double side tape!

Agreed! It looks awful!

 

[pjam]

I totally hate it too, what a joke!

And that "specially made" body, who TF is that supposed to be?

No no, I agree. The jacket could be tighter IMO. The build would look more accurate if we can get it held on tighter and closer around the neck. Thats one of the first things I'll try to achieve.

not one piece, can reload

Yep! Just like this:

Great, Thanks OMG and very nice photos.

Who'd you order with?

hk_apestore. I am a regular with him so he put me up his first piece as a private listing for me slightly lower than the ones he currently has.

Can't wait!!

Same here! It's my only minor nitpick on the figure, and has been since the official specs were released. It's no biggie, though.

I really can't get over how good it looks.

I welcome this over the Sideshow Jacket which always wanted to stay so closed you couldn't see his t-shirt. As for the coat, based on Wolverine's jacket and how it affects his poses, I'm glad the T-800's coat seems a bit looser. With Wolverine, they probably expected most people would take off the coat for dynamic poses and didn't worry if it was a bit too tight on him and imobilized his arms, but with the T-800, the coat's a key part of his look and on him most of the movie, so adding posability was key.

 

[a-dev]

I'd say we'll be able to fix that nitpick one way or another. Its just the way it is in some pics it makes his head look tiny because of the huge bulk of the torso with the jacket over it. But I'm optimistic that there'll be an easy solution.

All I need for the T800 to do (in this version) is to be able to wield his shotgun at about shoulder level. Wolverine, in his tight fitting jacket, can raise his arms to just about shoulder level. If Wolverine can do it, I think tightening the T800's jacket a bit around the collar line and neck wouldn't affect articulation much.

 

[MaulFan]

Well yeah, but I'm sure some people would like it to be able to do somethings that a Wolverine-tight jacket might inhibit, I know I plan to try out a variety of poses and looks with this figure.

 

[plasmid303]

MaulFan, I'm not asking to shrink the jacket. I just want to bring the neck line in closer together. I am not a tailor, but doing that shouldn't affect articulation around the arms area too much, right? I just want to do it myself, it's not something I'm asking for HT to change. What they've given us is more than good enough.

One example, Blade. His jacket fits very close around his neck and chest...

...But I can still do this:

 

[Voorhees27]

I found something that I can NOT live with ............... its become a major problem for me. I will be cancelling my orders now, this is a complete fail! Eff you HT's

The boots are clearly a size 11 whereas Arnold, as everyone knows, wears a size 10 3/4.

PASS!

Post it on HT's facebook, now.

Do it now.

Ah, ok, I thought you guys were talking about the jacket as a whole being snugger to his body, and yes, what you're talking about wouldn't affect what I'm concerned with, it's only how tight the sleeves are that would be a factor in the articulation, that's where I find it most hindered on Wolverine, shoulders a bit, but that material is so firm, trying to elevate his elbows doesn't get far compared to his maroon shirt or the tank.
