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

Now I really need to find a Harley Fatboy for him to ride on!
It's just so hard to find them at a good price.

Dunno what your definition of a good price is. But I have seen the Mattel Barbie Fatboy go for as low as $50 on ebay.

He's prob talking about the grail 1/6 Tamiya I would think

Is the Barbie Fatboy any good?
I saw some reviews that said it looked like Barbie was a giant on the thing,then again Barbie isn't as posable as a HT figure.
All I would have to do is paint it black right?

 

[Gargoyle67]

The Barbie scale is slightly off, from what I've read.

 

[Butters]

Eh? I thought you liked the EB figure.

edit - never mind, just saw your post in the EB thread.

I do, but the black staining turned me right off. I should get my replacement body from E this week, so hopefully everything will go well this time. I'm going to cover the chest with plastic and wash the shirt to prevent it from happening again. You should do the same thing.

I only looked under his shirt once when I got him and I think it was already blackening under there to a degree so probably no point taking any 'preventative' measures at this time. It doesn't bother me on any figure I intend to keep fully clothed...unless it somehow causes bigger problems like the body physically breaking down.

You too? I thought it was an isolated incident. I'm still not sure if it was the shirt or the leather jacket causing the problem. The rubber had a strong leather smell to it, so maybe it's caused by the chemicals used in the tanning process reacting with the rubber?? It's hard to say without cutting away a sample of the damaged rubber and testing it. It's not a good thing to start happening to a $400. figure after this short period of time, though. I would get a replacement if I were you. The staining will probably cause premature breakdown of the rubber.

My EB T-800 is fine under the tee, no staining at all. If anything the face is getting darker

Not sure. But the only other option is the Tamiya model kit which will run you $100+. And they are not easy to find.

Wrong-there is another option the Harley Fatboy phone and there quite good.

There quite a bit more than $100+ now if you can find one, I paid £300+ for mine from China

On the back of the box it clearly states that the body will change color due to the black t-shirt.

The rubber body on mine has been dark and shaded since day one.

for a second i thought that people talk here about HT body becoming black from clothes.
what a relief to understand that it was just about another enterbay bug

I had never heard about the hot toys t2 t-800 staining from the black t-shirt until maulfan stated his did in another thread trying to defend enterbay, when I heard that I removed the black shirt and found no staining on mine. Not sure if it happened to others just maulfan as far as I know

I guess thats all right then if they tell you on the box??? 400 dollar figure thats body turns black after one day???

FAIL

 

[P.]

BTW just checked that ht body doesn't become black.

Another?

sure.
clothes 2 size bigger than needed, material thick as polar costumes, cheap looking hands, face like he lost a bet and has to eat excrements, neck losing paint, Megamind's headsculpt, red bullets instead of blue because they never even tried to see the movie... so yes, another.

Is this really a big deal? Who is going to pose that big-jointed monstrosity without the shirt on anyway?

 

[Butters]

It's a big deal on a $400 figure, I think. It could be an indicator of major problems with deterioration down the track.
