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

Tuesday..... So far away......

 

[galactiboy]

So here are some pics of my deffective figure... from head on its a bit hard to tell, but from the side its very obvious. And nothing you can do but replace it.

And a couple pics of the figure that was okay:​

​

 

[Wake]

Wow, that sucks. Weirdness. Its a good thing you ordered two. Had that happen to me with only one I'd have been seriously bummed.

 

[mmurrer]

Mine is still in customs. Customs in Brazil are a real drag. I wish I could be that slow at work. =(

 

[Voorhees27]

Smokin group shot, J. Sorry about the 2 right arms though, the factory worker obviously needed a smoke break.

Awesome recent shots, Sean. T2 = blue lights so good work.

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, the 2 right arms is a oddity... but sounds like an isolated incident.

Hey did you mention that you're doing a Conan custom? Can I see the sculpt?

 

[FLOSI]

Love the Terminator shelf, Joseph. Makes me really look forward to a Reese figure.

I'm gonna use the T2 body head... I think the sculpt (with hair) will work well for Conan.

Thanks man, that Reese is one of my favorite figures. I have a Marcus Wright coming (from Hastings) so these guys might be getting moved to a larger shelf. Especially if we get a T-1000; my Sideshow figure got removed for being too sucky looking

I think A-dev ended up with two right arms on his Dutch. The guys who put these together must get confused with Arnold's arms.

I did, although it was 2 left arms. I still have it as I didn't want to bother with the returns process and I was intending to put 1 Dutch onto a normal truetype anyway thus leaving that body spare.

But since I got the T-800 I realised I kinda wanted to see what the head looked like on the Dutch body for those naked scenes and came up with a hodgepodge solution to the 2 left arms. With a bit of Terminator-type DIY surgery I cut out a notch from the shoulder of the extra left arm then manipulated the shoulder joint to go in the opposite direction, out this new notch - thus a left arm becomes a right arm. Then I took the 'flesh' that I'd removed and used it to fill in the original hole that the joint came through. He kinda looks like hes got real surgical scars now.

It now functions as a right arm despite sharing identical details with the other arm.

The news of this problem occuring on the T-800 worries me though. I've got another one coming and it better not have Galactiboy's left arm!

 

[a-dev]

See if I got this right - If this figure had PERS he'd be looking down at John sitting on a car bonnet in this shot. "its like everything I was brought up to believe was all made of bull____. I hated her for that..but everything she said was true and nobody believed her..not even me"

Great recreation of the lighting in that scene.

 

[a-dev]

Did I kill the thread? Where is everyone?

 

[MaulFan]

We do not kill in this thread, we Terminate.

It's really a shame that one of the best lighting scenes of T2 is an exposition scene, oh well, still great.

This board scares me now. Now it's left me with the thought and now it makes me want to check it. I didn't even pay attention to it when I swapped out t-shirts. From the glance I saw it looked fine but as I said I wasn't even looking for a flaw. Curse this board for fault finding!

 

[MaulFan]

Both of mine are fine. With hand assembled stuff like this, small slips are unavoidable, someone shouted at the guy putting GB's together and he reaches in the wrong buck of arm parts or whatever.

Busy refreshing their e-mail screens. . .waiting for freakin' BBTS to get their act together.

 

[MaulFan]

Great shots Maul. They're always a little too up close for me though. Would love full body shots.

In fact it would be great to see you shoot some ordinary photos, as in, not trying to recreate scenes from the film or anything, just photos of the figure sitting in with the rest of your collection or just in an ordinary place in one of your rooms. It would give it that in hand look but would still be all kinds of awesome. I love photos like that, Tyler's being a good example.

Here's one for ya for now.

 

[vodoun]

Gorgeous, isn't it.

You'd be able to tell if it was the wrong arm as you wouldn't be able to bend his forearm forward (the triceps hang down a bit on the back of the arm which prevents it from moving backwards). As long as both arms move forward you'll be fine.

And as I said earlier I haven't heard of any other reports of this so likely just bad luck on my part.
