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

OK, I have a problem, I need some of the black cord (thread, what ever) that laces up the back of the jacket. Can someone tell me what kind of cord it is and where I can get it?

 

[Valfar]

Maybe check Walmart or a crafts store?.

Micheals craft store for sure.

Lordy, I love this figure!

But like the bumbling oaf I am, I managed to snap off his right arm within minutes of pulling him out of the box.

I can't have nice things.

I've now tried fixing the broken bit several times ... with super glue, Gorilla glue and airplane glue. No dice. None of them worked. It just snapped apart the minute I tried to put him back together.

Would any of you guys happen to know:

A) Is there a special glue I should be using for this type of plastic?

B) Are replacement parts are available anywhere (just for the broken bit, not the whole figure)?

C) Do other True Type bodies have this piece? Or is it specific to the Arnie body?

Here's a link to a couple snaps of the broken bit (with gun for scale) after it was glued together and before it broke again. The first shot shows it with the other shoulder and its non-broken partner in place.

Any advice you guys could offer would be hugely appreciated! I love this figure and really want to show him off in the collection.

Hard luck mate.

Not really sure what you can do, I don't have the figure so i'm not familiar with the parts yet. I'm sure some one else here can help you though.

I would contact Hot Toys customer service while bidding on this...

https://cgi.ebay.com/1-6-HOT-TOYS-Terminator-2-T2-T-800-Body-/250645468674?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a5ba25602

And say if Hot Toys replaces a new body or the arm and you did win that or another auction for the body under say $80 or so, then i would flip that body back on Ebay and make a small amount of profit off it later on.

Just a idea, a bit crazy though.

Not a bad idea, man! Thanks!

I've been a little hesitant to contact Hot Toys as I've heard they don't have the best track record of responding. But it's worth a shot!

I agree...hopefully they can still fullfill all the orders that were placed before the status turned to "preorder - sold out"

What position did you have the arm in when it broke off? Arms shouldn't break at the shoulder that easily.

If you want to fix it then what you need to do is distribute the surface area because just gluing the broken area wont be strong enough, obviously. You need to drill and pin the two parts together. I use piano wire because it is tough and is less likely to bend. You need a pin vise drill...

Glue the pieces together so they are inline with each other and then drill holes just big enough for the wire to go through perpendicular to the break line. I use extra thick cyanoacrylate (superglue) for my glue. Its tough and thick enough it wont run all over the place and it wont dry before you are ready. Squeeze some on and get the pins pushed in. Keep the pins long because they are easier to handle and you will cut them flush later anyway. When the glue is dried clip the wire off and file down the sharp edges.
I would put two pins on that piece. Be careful of the screw whole.
I have used this method to modify neck ball joints and I have had good results.

Questions?

 

[Q]

Hey Boardies,

I am doing a show right now and found this Gatling Gun for my T2 Arnold. Check it out, the vendor has some left and is charging $25... These are no longer made and he found them in a warehouse. Item comes with a plastic ammo case (not the shoulder ammo bag), clickable trigger and rotating gun. Let me know, I only have a few hours left. Sorry for the crappy pics, im using my phone!

Got this figure this week and it doesn't dissapoint
Absolutley bad ass. No problems for me other than the box being a little bashed but that isn't a big problem.

This is the pose I ended up using. This figure is just perfection.
Bring on the T-1000.

When the Hell did Medicom make a Freddy figure ?

Brilliant! Great advice! I'll give it a shot!

Thanks so much!

Congrats Tay!

I personally cannot wait to get my T-800. It might be my most anticipated Hot Toys purchase. It's at least right up there with Predator and the Power Loader.
