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

[Gargoyle67]

Finally did the paper clip thing with the coat. Originally didn't think it would be necessary, but it definitely helps the jacket look like its ring worn more naturally

Any chance of a pic before and after, Just want to see if it would be worth it for me, Thanks

I'll take some tomorrow. They just be cell phone pics though

Forgot the good camera at my dorm

No pics... but the paperclip mode did awesomeness for my Arnie. His collar fits like Neca's sculpted one does, and makes him look less bulky. You really dont notice the changes until you look at the unmodded one.

If you do a search, you might be able to find the before and after pics? There were tons of pics people took when the figure first came out (I know there are hundreds of pages since then, but the search might help).

Trust us, the paperclip mod looks great.

I seriously can't find the stuff about the paper clip mod, what does it do? Shape the jacket better?

 

[a-dev]

It brings the 2 sides of the jacket closer together by forcing the arc of the collar to be tighter.

By the way I can't really help you RE: parted out T2 clothes. I have most of mine through multi-buying the figure. Ebay or sometimes guys here parting out the figure is the only way to go.

Oh yeah, thanks. I had a look an found almost complete outfit for about £45 on ebay. But I don't think I'll go through with the custom as my mam is complaining (with reason because I owe her over £225 :O)...

The paperclip trick is meant to close his jacket more in the front to better replicate how the coat looked on Arnie, the body is so big, without a wire to keep the front in place, the material just wants to spread open.

Arnie's coat is nearly closed in the movie.

This is what a non-paperclip T-800 looks like.

And this is my paperclipped figure.

Thanks Maulfan! I love pictures!

 

[Gargoyle67]

Thanks MaulFan, Very informative

I got the idea of the paper clip mod but never see it in action, thank you.

 

[jayveeeusebio]

The jacket looks definitely much better w/ that paperclip on.

 

[Reaktwon]

It's a good simple mod. One of the first things I did to my figs when they arrived. Curl the ends of the paperclip a little so it doesn't scratch or puncture the jacket.

Yes I did wonder about that, Thanks for the headsup

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

is it possible for the arms to come off this guy without damaging anything? if so, how?

 

[olbertfrog]

You'll have to remove the chest part (i think it's glued by it's sides)to acess the arms. Someone posted pics about this, i'll look if i can find it.

BTW i need a right shoulder and bicep replacements, my figure took a dive. Anybody can help?

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

So you're saying to take the chest off over the arms? It didn't seem like it would be able to stretch enough to fit over the shoulders

Managed to snag one of these from ebay today complete and un-built:

Should be here in a week (far east) So I'm looking for two side panniers to go with it. These look pretty close, What do you guys think ?:

I'm also considering taking some hires scans of the decals and getting some high quality transfers done and selling them on if theres any interest in them:
