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

[Red Metal]

These things are gone from almost everywhere. I wonder if they are going to get restocked after the first distribution.

Razor's Edge still has a pre-order up. That's where I got mine from - it hasn't shipped yet, but with him being in the East coast area, he might be the last to get his shipment in. BBTS should have something in soon enough, since they're only in the Midwest area.

Well if T-800 is made DX, doesn't mean it'd have to be PERS. Also, they could always do the semi-BD head as PERS, he had both eyes intact for that look. I'll be curious to see whether we get more than one other T-800, based on how HT's done things in the past, I'm expecting just a BD figure with the Cyberdyne weapons included, but I get a feeling they might do a Cyberdyne figure with semi-BD parts and then just do a full BD release, of course I only get that feeling because I've bought 2 of MMS117 figuring I'll need it to make a Cyberdyne T-800 and I expect HT to make that a dumb move on my part

the bad notice on this is that the predators line will be released this year , and ironman 2 figures will be on sale in 2 months , it would be our money ruin, i start to collect hot toys 2 years ago and i had to sell a large part of my gi-joe collection to buy all this excelent figures and if they releases 2 more t800..........i will need to own all

T2 is the only thing from Hot Toys I'm planning to buy this year unless some unannounced license comes up along the way.

How's their shipping? I'm a toss up between them and Big Bad. BBTS is like 5 bucks more but the shipping is the real determining factor for me. There are some online stores who have this figure for under 150.00 pre-order but the shipping is close to 20 bucks so that seems to be making up the difference on a lot of good prices.

i will think about it

mine finally arrived today

Nice work, you really put this figure in it's environment.

Quick question, how tall is this figure? The SSC website says its 13.8 inches, which would make it taller than a DC Direct body. From your pics it looks like the figure is closer to 13", maybe a little shorter.

Anyway, great pics.

RIGHT. Which could also include T1 and Reeves Superman.

the height of this guy is 31,5 cm

Sideshow site's a bit off with their measurements, I'd just trust the official HT measurements.

HT Site: 32 cm = approx 12.5 inches

Average HT figure is listed as 30 cm which is just under 12 inches.

Going by the photos, I'd say HT's measurements are pretty accurrate, at least the difference between a normal figure and T-800 looks to be about half an inch or so.

in a relaxed pose from floor to the last hair , i count 31,7 cm, if you put the bots together it could go to 32

 

[MaulFan]

Either way, it's far from the 35-36 cm that Sideshow's site lists it as.

some of the extra height is due to the large foot pegs

 

[MaulFan]

The point is, it's not a 14" figure, which Sideshow says it is.

Why is it sold out though? https://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=4489&sku=900815&ref=search0109

If everyone was claiming they'll be plenty to go for a long time yet.

Time to panic, IMO.

im happy with the height of this guy, but the scales are a recurrent problem with hot toys, hellboy is a little short as predator 1....

Because the comments were based on personal feelings. No one can really know how a figure's going to sell, even Hot Toys is taking a gamble. I wouldn't have expected Two-Face to have done as poorly as he seemed to.

This figure seems well made, from clothes to paint to sculpt, the movie's pretty popular, seems to me like a recipe for a sell out figure. That, and there is a potential need for this particular figure to build other looks of the T-800 with accessories in future releases, so some people, like myself, will buy a spare or two now while it can be bought at retail price.

OnesixthBruce sold out before he got them in stock, that does not always happen.
I think this figure is going to be hard to get at retail in a very short time.
If a DX's comes out, that might be the only thing to bring the price back down.

And a word of warning WaiMan has already sold out of War Machine (He might get some more in though)

Agreed, within lines, HT has problems properly scaling characters to each other, it seems like each one is made and the body worked to make that one figure look it's best but not necessarily putting much consideration as to how it will look standing beside other figures from the same film. The worst is females, they all end up looking at least a foot shorter than the males in 1/6 scale proportions, but for a series like Pirates, the leads were all about the same heigh as each other, however, the figures are not.

I forsee Sarah looking a bit too short next to T-800, be nice if someone in HK with Sarah would shoot at least one image of her with T-800.
