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

[w00t?]

I read that people want a jill valentine in the stars outfit (me too), and i think, they do not make it real

I don´t know, why they do "tron". they could do cooler thinks. I hope they don´t forget other thinks when (if?!) star wars will be in store?!

 

[EVILFACE]

The movie sucked, but if HT replicated that suit, I would buy him, He rocked as Mr Freeze.

 

[Boba Ben]

They need to make Quaid and he needs to come with this as an extra headsculpt.

 

[Minimodel]

Commando would be a guaranteed sell-out.

 

[MaulFan]

That is something I'm slightly concerned about. They've got so many amazing licenses now I wonder will they sort of forget about the cool ones that they've already embarked on but not completely finished.

With the recent news about HT making a big event of their 10th anniversary at the end of this month, I think we ought to wait until after that to be worried. There's a favorable chance they're holding off highlight figures like T2 BD and biker T1 for the big deal, they're releases of late have been quiet and somewhat lackluster, almost like they're holding off the good stuff for this event.

With T1 being one of the first MMS properties, it would make sense to have something big and Terminator related as part of this event.

and I'd still love to hear that they're making Reese, Furlong Connor and T1 Sarah.

 

[MaulFan]

The only thing I can see holding back Reese would be not getting Biehn's likeness. T1 Sarah I think would get chalked up as a lackluster figure, same, sadly, with young John. Despite their story relevance, they'd be light accessorized figures with not the most appealing costumes or portraits. While they do go against the comments about, for example, an Inception DiCaprio not standing out for other movie DiCaprios, I still think they'd fit under not having enough standout traits to sell big. I think they'd have passed on T2 Sarah if not for her being loaded with weapons.

 

[karamazov80]

I think niche figures that wouldn't appeal to a broad collector's audience like T1 Sarah and young John Connor would make loads of sense as low-run convention exclusives.

 

[Khev]

Yeah, based on their recent reasons for not doing Inception figures Sarah and young John are pretty much guaranteed not to happen.

 

[MaulFan]

I think niche figures that wouldn't appeal to a broad collector's audience like T1 Sarah and young John Connor would make loads of sense as low-run convention exclusives.

I think a "Skynet's Targets" 2 pack might work. Sold alone, they might not work, but packed together, they might have enough appeal to sell the set, like the Scarecrow/Demon Bats set, but yeah, as a lower produced ES. I think T-1000 Sarah demonstrated increased ES backfiring, that figure would have been better left as a short produced con piece.

No, no, low run exclusives should only be reserved for worldwide icons like Beat It Michael Jackson.

 

[w00t?]

from t1 immo kyle make sense.

please no more sarah

but where can i get now these sunglasses? *g*


sooner or later we will get the next terminator in the movies.



maybe we will get a t-x?!

That you can pretty much count on not happening. Unless greed changes their minds, HT commented in an interview back when the T2 line got started that they have no interest in T3.

 

[karamazov80]

I didn't say Hot Toys always made good decisions in this regard

 

[snoop101]

Well I think the recent comments about Inception figures shows that HT does consider each costume and how appealing the look of the figure will be. I think they drew the line at the nurse because it'd end up with a niche appeal.

I don't think there's any look to the T-800 that wouldn't have mass Termiantor fan appeal.




Because slight similarities don't stop people from buying, people bought updates a year later of TDK figures. If it looks cool from a property people like, they'll buy.

And same pants and boots isn't much cause to not do it. They can do a new head, and should, as the hair on the damaged head in this set isn't quite right and can be improved, but it can work as a first damaged look. You then have a new tshirt and coat, plust new weapons. Whether they change hair or not from the current BD head, the new one would have the exposed Endo eye and possibly light up feature. The coat would also be tailored to the T-800 body and better fit than sourcing previously sold jackets on the net.

Whats wrong with it???
