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

[Maglor]

Want this head next...

V2 head.....

Man those makeup effects were terrible. If Hot Toys made that head, they would have to vastly improve on the source material.

 

[MarfMaster]

I'm on the fence about this myself, feel like i'm convincing myself to buy it because it's a Terminator and it's Arnie. I'm not that big on the film, definitely not as much as T2 anyways which is my favourite film. The spec pics don't have me grinning with excitement like Barney Ross did!

My feelings exactly, bud!

Great problem solving ability Quiggle.... Maybe I'll just starve my entire family for a week so I can pay for the entire thing.

instant ramens can taste good when you're creative, a little tofu squares and cucumbers dinner for under 2.50$

 

[Something Sexy]

Preorder, price was a little surprising but it is ordered.

I dunno... I would like the cheese source material. It's what it is. Can't pretend otherwise. But at 1/6 scale, it would probably look better anyway.

You didn't include the ultimate HT rip-off figure...

Harvey Dent.

That's going by price/value. Since they're going for $60 now, gives you an idea of how marked up they were.

I didnt order one item on that list, so maybe thats why this is such a huge shocker for me

Well that and the fact that its TWO HUNDRED F'N DOLLARS

 

[Commtech]

$194.99 at Sideshow's website? WTF!!?? Why???? It's not even a deluxe.

Wait, are you basing that on its long-term value? Because I can pretty much guarantee that, barring a massive production run, this Terminator is gonna be worth way more than Sideshow is charging in the long run.

 

[FLOSI]

You're not the boss of me

You will buy the T-800!

I agree with you Chase... 200 for a really basic figure sucks my sweaty balls.

 

[dominishin]

Just don't buy from sideshow... there's no EX, go with some other retailer. Alter Ego and Viking Playground are always 10% less, and you can avoid tax if you live in CA.

I don't understand why people act like sideshow prices are definite and only.

why would this be worth more in the long run?

Makes you rethink complaining about a $100 Joe figure

No, don't do that to me. How cruel can you be? Sending me thousands of dollars worth of figures...

 

[Wor-Gar]

Most likely this figure will go up in value and they're making far less than they did of Dent.

But no, I wasn't basing on long-term value. I was basing on what you got out of the box for what you paid. The long-term value on Dent just reveals what it probably cost to make. It's a $60 figure that got marked up to $150 during all the Bat-hype. I don't think anyone felt that figure was worth $150 or more even at the time.

There's different factors here of course, but the 'gouge' is on!

Even from AE, after shipping this will come in just under $200. Thats insane no matter how you cut it.

Shamefully I will pay it to. What an idiot

4th quarter 2010?!?! YESSSSSSSS!!!

No ____ eh? 200 is easliy enough for me to score a non-elite Firefly and Flint.
