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

Haven't pulled the trigger yet either, but that's because I'd rather own the BD version.

Oh, I bought one. Just waiting for him to get to me. I bought it from eBay over the weekend, after getting tired of waiting for BBTS. Now 'm beginning to think the guy I bought it from was actually selling a pre-order without saying so in the auction. I asked him when it would ship yesterday, and he's not answering me

Don't remember on that one. Though I know the slightly recent DX Joker started at $165 and remained there until BBTS sold through their stock that was online. It remained at $165 the entire time. Same with the DX Batman that's there right now - he pre-ordered for $175 and is still sitting in-stock at $175.

So, no it's not always the case that these things go up directly after pre-orders. I think this figure is just moving really well thru word-of-mouth and retailers are taking advantage of that.

I'm not saying they ALWAYS go up in value but if the figure is hot, like the P1 for example, it will start to go up in value quickly once retailer stock is gone.

Mind if I ask what seller? I just purchased one off of eBay this past weekend too but I haven't received any kind of shipping notice.

Seller was honestgrader. He had the best prices at the time that I bought, and seems to have sold quite a few of these over the last few days.

This figure will very likely only go up in price, IMO. Even if we get flooded with T-800s (crosses fingers that we do), we probably won't get another like this. Unlike DX Joker (which drove down the price of the other Jokers), I don't think we'll get another "clean" T2 T-800 Arnold.

Future T-800's still won't be quite as iconic as this version, T1 or T2. I'm a much bigger T1 fan but the majority lean towards T2, and although the BD version will be far more intricate and come with a ton of cool weapons this version will still stand as the definitive T-800.

Personally, I think the Police Assault T-800 is the single most iconic Terminator look. But this would be a close second

Damn! That was the same seller I purchased mine from too. He did have the best price going though so I suppose I'll just have to wait.
Thanks for sharing.

No problem. Please post when you get yours, if you don't mind.

No problemo.

I've promised myself never to buy anything from ebay if it ships from overseas. Had some bad experiences where I paid for a HT, but received nothing. Fantastic right?

Still waiting for BBTS lol

Not talking personal opinion, Sam. I just mean how the masses see it.... Keep in mind that I prefer T1 also.

I'm talking personal opinion about how the masses see it. So. . .

That's right. Two of them. In a row.

So I got my New Bright bike from ebay today and it ended up being too big! 27" long too big!

So my question to all those that have the correct scale New Bright bike for the Arnie, what are the dimensions of it? In inches? Thanks in advance!

Don't make me give you my personal opinion about how the masses see your personal opinion.... You won't like it!


(See that, I skipped right from 2 to 4! That's balls baby!)

It looks like New Bright makes a 16 inch and a 28 inch Fat Boy according to their web site. Sounds like the 16 inch is the correct scale for the T-800 figure.

 

[FLOSI]

Well, that's pretty much insurmountable coolness.... You win.
