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

[MaulFan]

I must admit this time around I got the itch BIG TIME and even though I have 2 perordered with Toys2 I wanted to just get another from HK to avoid the wait. I've been SO impatient with this release.

I think better to excercise patience. If you'd gone to some random HK ebay place you've never dealt with, you might have had him sooner but you might have been fearing opening the box and finding a mess and not knowing if you'd get it fixed. You may be waiting for Toys2 but you know when you open him if there's an issue it's getting fixed so it's a non-issue.

Precisely.

As much as it's frustrating when something shows up broken, I really don't sweat it because I order from places I know that one way or another, will take care of me and in the end I'll be all set.

Unfortunately, as beautiful as HT figures are, they're also fragile and prone to issues so it's key to buy from somewhere you can count ont.

Great pics endo sickness. They really got me excited when 1st looking at them! You captured some movie scenes perfectly. Would love to see more!

Gif overload!!

Can't wait for this figure. Have no requests really Endo, just do your thing! I'm sure they'll be cool.

Yup, Toys2 or Sideshow for me, great CS with both, and in a pinch I'll use BBTS but haven't had to yet, and haven't needed their CS for the purchases I have made with them so I don't know how that is. As prone to issues as Hot Toys figures are, it is big to buy them from a source that you know will get your back if you have issues.

In the excitement of this figured I've been charged and shipped from CSC but I totally forgot that I have a pre-order as well at BBTS, did anyone else post when they were starting to process?

I'm going for the deuce on this figure.

I certainly wouldnt mind a pic of what you did to get the collar to be tighter

Do you have yours yet, Manji? If not, I think once you get him in hand and had a chance to take a look at the jacket, you'll know exactly how to tighten the collar.

Unbend a paper clip or wire (whatever you choose) until it is straighten out a bit, and then slide it underneath the collar. Then pinch the wire until it is formed into your desired shape and tightness around the neck.

I'm not going to take a picture of a paper clip for you, but I did just spend about a minute in microsoft paint:

If you look closely at the space I highlighted with the white circle, you should see the wire underneath the jacket lapel. The red line illustrates the shape of the paperclip.

I tried this with mine but lost a few buttons off the collar. Be careful cos they are hard to find, especially if you don't realise at first that they have fallen off.

Shipped from Sideshow, and Toys2 will follow shortly aswell! Finally something new will come through my door! I also have the first Lost Predator coming (a purchase I could end up regretting if I fail to snag Gort Pred ). Not looking forward to the visa bill.

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.

Shipping with Razor's has always been pretty good for me. Mike does alot to make sure the item(s) get to the customer in great shape; just remember to request that you're looking for a box in good condition. For mint items, this is the route I usually take if I can.

As for shipping prices, both Razors and BBTS seem to be about the same.

Well Eric said he will have the Gambit(X-men origins) headsculpt narrowshoulder truetype for me by the end of next week and that my T-800 will ship with that. So if it doesn't ship next week it'll surely ship the week after.

Any word on when they said they are gonna start shipping?

I'd have to assume that BBTS should get this in sometime this coming week, again because they're just out in the Midwest. However, there is the holiday, so it could be sometime early the following week. I'd bet Razors would get him in maybe a few days to a week after BBTS.

 

[Geil]

Yeah looks like Toys2 is expecting their shipment Monday latest Tuesday for sure HURRAY
Along side my repaired IM M2 and my House.. Maybe it's better it arrives then so at least it will seem less like May was a madhouse by having some of this stuff spill over to June

I would think you could do it just like HT did, just can't pop the wrist peg all the way in, but you'd also want his coat on to use the sleeve to hide that fact.

Considering the left arm is interchangeable. I wonder if you can just pull the right arm out a bit at the elbow so it could bend further back. Unless the peg is too short.
