Hot Toys - MMS136 - The Terminator: 1/6th scale T800 Collectible Figure (T1)

[DiFabio]

Yeah I never bought that theory that we all seem to concocted. Nothing can stop Hot Toys from releasing more $$$, uh, I mean Arnold Terminators. Not even Hot Toys.

 

[EndoSickness]

I guess Reese´ll go this way, with 2 outfits, but don´t see T1 BD T-800 happening until mid-next year.
Next will surely be Reese, or the new Endo, which will tur out more accurate then before, thinking of the recent MarkIV´s look...

 

[DiFabio]

Who said there was going to be a new Endo?

 

[slipknotpredator]

Cant believe im finally getting THE T1 Terminator

Who said there was going to be a new Endo?

I think it was rumored, theres no confirmation.

 

[cplhicks]

I'm so hoping for a Reese!

He MUST be made (likness permitting)

 

[EndoSickness]

Me either, man.
And I´m selling my FB John Connor for him.
Way, WAAAAAAY more impportant doesn´t cut it, but I didn´t wanted to exaggerate...

If they dont use biehns likeness, then dont even bother IMO.

 

[DiFabio]

I think it was rumored, theres no confirmation.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I doubt they revisit the Endoskeleton any time soon.

My bet is on the Police Shoot Out T-800 and hopefully Kyle Reese. It could go in any direction though, this IS Hot Toys we're talking about. What if this is the only figure (Tech Noir) that Hot Toys makes for this line? What if they just did the Police Shoot Out version and then called it quits at two?

I'll take each release as it comes. I don't even have this figure yet, I'd like to enjoy it without worrying and potentially disappointing myself about the "next one".

 

[Terminator_Fan_Game]

i hope 1984 Kyle Reese is next too as it would just look so awesome next to this figure.

I don't think they will bother without the likeness rights. They've shown that they recognize the consumer demand for quality likeness and the dissappointment with figures made using their tricks to get around them. I don't think they'll go back to the old practice of making figures without likenesses.

My guess is there will only be two figures from T1, the Tech-noir t-800 and Kyle Reese. But I hope they make a police shootout t-800 aswell.

Wanna see BD head on T2 Body with grey shirt. Make it happen Toy world!

 

[Fason]

i doubt we will see reese, but i really think a battle damage police shootout is on its way someday, but probably not until they make a bd t-2 figure first

 

[karamazov80]

Though the body doesn't work, that T2 de-skinned arm could work well with that head and the other injured arm.

Just ordered a table & Chair set for my arm repair T-800.

Probably not exactly accurate but odds are you won't find anything moreso. Not like you get a detailed look at the table and chair in his room anyway.

These are actually intended for The Dark Knight - the Joker Interrogation scene. I once had the full Interrogation room diorama on order for a long time but cancelled because I had so much other stuff coming.

So i think an new Endo should be very great. It's a plenty of improvments such as the chrome paint, not a plastic material and be a little movie accurate. I didn't get an Endo before because about two years ago i used to collect only a diecast cars, planes and some cheap figures

Once I got mine I´ll definatly do a little table and chair myself, since I have a little wood here and I´ll have blast doing it myself, fitting it for Arnold...

 

[Voorhees27]

Uhm, why exactly change bodies?
Arnold had way more muscle mass in T1!

It was an optical illusion. Apparantely the side-by-side pics weren't in scale so it looked like the one of the left (T2) was wider in the shoulders.

Do you guys remember the theorising we did that the next announcement won't be another T-800 from either T1 or T2 because the existing T2 hadn't sold out yet and the T1 was, at the time, still not shipping? We said that announcing another T-800 would be like Hot Toys competing with themselves, that they wouldn't take the chance of people cancelling current orders so as to get the later BD version instead (as opposed to 'aswell'). But what about Iron Man? They clearly haven't been concerned about competing with themselves on that line - Mark IV is just now shipping, Mark VI prototype pics have been around for ages as have early prototype shots of the Mark V suitcase Ironman suit. Plus war machine, black widow and whiplash have all come out in the meantime.

You're comparing apples to oranges. If I were HT's i'd flood the market with Iron Man figures while the 2nd films DVD/BD release is still somewhat fresh. Iron Man = forgetable. T1/T2 has obviously stood the test of time. So in otherwords Iron Man will dry up ............ they can take their time with T1/T2. They know we'll buy them regardless of release date.

I absolutely agree with this. Terminator has staying power, so they could release a couple of figures a year and people would still be excited about them.
