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

[TheFiend]

Well what's really shocking, I can totally get why we don't get young Sarah or young John, at best a Targets of Skynet 2 pack or something might sell ok, but definitely not either alone, and even Reese I can almost get, but no BD T1 or T2 T-800 just makes no sense, they'd be huge sellers.

I'm still hoping we might see a BD T2 soon to celebrate the 20th anniversary of T2.

I really think we'll see both. I mean it hasnt been that long since the release of the T2 T-800 what was it early 2010? And the T1 came out early this year right? You have to ask yourself one question: Why wouldnt they? Your right they would be hude sellers. Probably bigger sellers than the non BD ones. I remember some people complaining that they wanted to be able to see the cyborg undeneath. So you'd get all those buyers,the Terminator enthusiasts would buy multiples and others who just think it looks bad @$$ would bite too. Only thing I think that would hold them back is copy right issues and that is all.

Here's a fun and tough question. Lets say all the Terminator figures HT has made thus far didnt exist and HT was to make only one ultimate Terminator figure, Which one would you want?

T2 T-800 full battle damage, one of my most favorite characters ever and my most favorite look ever, it's my 2nd most wanted 1/6 figure, specially a Hot Toys level and style figure. I have the 12" from NECA, but it's all sculpted and limited posability, I want one with the realsm, posability and real fabric costuming like an HT figure.

Yeah its tough for me either T2 full BD or minor BD mainly because Id want possibility in both arms but the full BD with the missing arm you get to see the exo skeleton much more. hmmm...even though it wouldnt be exactly movie accurate Id want a full BD head with two arms I think.

I think if my Terminator collection was extensive as yours is I would too. Would you go as far as a custom Miles Dyson or Dr.Silberman?

If someone happened to make them and I happened to find them for sale I probably would! I could use them, Dyson would go well with my Cyberdyne T-800 and trenchcoat Sarah Connor or with the endo-arm reveal T-800 and assassin Sarah. Silberman could go with the Pescadero T-800, Sarah and T-1000 for that scene in the corridor. Having said that I don't think you'd see me actively petitioning Imaresqd1 or Creg Customs to make me these figures.

I think a-dev agrees with this view, the desire for young John with T2, or Sarah for T1, is that, those films very clearly have a number of key characters, and with T2 especially, they are only short 1 out of the 4 key characters. With T1, sadly, HT's new figures are missing Kyle and Sarah.

I just feel like you're not representing T2 unless John's in the mix, I feel like it's an incomplete representation of the film without him. I don't necessarily feel a love for his character, it's just that I love T2 the movie and want to represent it in my collection and without young John, I feel a void.

Yeah pretty much. I'll live without them, young John and T1 Sarah. Its almost certain they won't be made by HT or NECA in the smaller figure range. But for representing the storylines of T1 and T2 their absence is notable. Our timetravelling Terminators have nothing to be fighting over. They'd be very useful figures for those of us wanting to set up movie scenes. But what else is to be said. I doubt these ones were ever going to happen.

Well what's really shocking, I can totally get why we don't get young Sarah or young John, at best a Targets of Skynet 2 pack or something might sell ok, but definitely not either alone, and even Reese I can almost get, but no BD T1 or T2 T-800 just makes no sense, they'd be huge sellers.

I'm still hoping we might see a BD T2 soon to celebrate the 20th anniversary of T2.

Thinking about it lately, and I know hes not quite as popular as Terminator but HT never made a battledamaged Robocop - not even a version where he is still wearing his helmet (thus Peter Weller likeness rights not needed). I would have thought for that line a BD Robocop would be every bit as 'essential' as a BD T-800 for either T1 or T2. If I had been on this forum way back then I would have been fully expecting a BD Robocop to be made and then been completley baffled when it became clear he wasn't happening. Likewise that could end up being the case with Terminator.

Lyrics from one of the 80s songs from T1 come to mind. "You can't do that! You can't do-that-to-me!"




















no, just too hard.

Yeah its extremely hard for me too. I went with something from T2 because that is the film from my child hood and I remember watching it when I was 9 or 10 yrs old and being in awww of the characters,effects etc. Arnold was my hero after that back then I didnt see T1 until after T2 and although I love it its just T2 holds something special to my childhood.

I've pretty much given up on HT, I don't think we will see any more Terminator figures. One can only hope they acknowledge T2's anniversary, but im seriously starting to doubt it.

T1 Technoir T-800, CLOSELY followed by the T1 police station T-800.
I have to admit though, a battle damaged T2 and T1 would be insane too!

You lucked out then, you got your ultimate Terminator figure.

Same here, but it´s in a few days, I guess HT would´ve had shown a teaser long ago, if something for the anniversary would´ve been released..............or not?!??!

 

[evangelinus]

Man, the saddest thing is there are some people that have it, but don't want to sell to me simply because I am from Brazil, withoud considering that I'm a 6 years ebayer that aways received his items and never gave or received a negative or neutral feedback!

Hmm is there any good reason someone wouldnt ship to Brazil? Why would it matter? Ive never shipped nor received from Brazil so I wouldnt know.

 

[evangelinus]

There are 2 major reasons; the firts one is that collecting is something new for too many brazilians. Some do not know that they have to wait a long period to received the item, and in some cases, to pay customs taxes. Because of that, when an item isn't delivered fast enough in their opinion, or comes with an "extra", they give negative feedbacks and start unreasonable disputes on paypal! But there are the "smart" ones too, that start disputes when the item take more then 45 days. If the Item comes after received the refund, they keep the money with them also. Some of this guys are making a bad reputation to our country and making hard the life of serious buyers that only can buy from US.

Well, here's where I put some hope, T2 anniversary is July, SDCC is July and HT released T2 figures through Sideshow's license, so I'm hoping that HT was thinking save the last T2 figure for the anniversary and Sideshow pushing for an SDCC unveiling to draw people to their booth.

Damn, didn´t have tha thought. Good one, Sean.
You have me a bit hopeful again, bud...

At this point those are the only reasons I could understand for the delay, plus, Cap America's coming, Thor's covered and POTC is covered so all the HT blockbuster films are pretty well dealt with so they can start up with some older properties again. I want BD T2 too much so I grasp at any bit of hope lol.

Same here and all need left for my Cyberdyne Bash is the Traveler Set, so they better get going.

I would even go this far and say for the 20th it should be a big and fat DX, or what do you say, man?!

I like the idea. Darnit any way we could fastforward to the end of July, find out whether this is the case or not and then rewind back to the end of June?

 

[TheFiend]

It'll come one day. Like I said the only thing I can think that would hold them back is if they have some sort of problems with copyright issues. Thats it. We'll see it one day Im sure. If not this year then down the line a ways.
