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

[Dark Passenger]

That costs like $23.78.

HT and SS are ripping us off

Doubt it was that cheap. But if they didn't make a profit we would be stuck with Mezco or Medicom 12".

Neca is coming out with their kid version for the frugal people.

Yeah, you might have miss-understanded me a bit there. I wasn't defending the fact of a figure with no likeness. Just pointing out the fact, that some actors dont want to give up their likeness for any number of $.
I have no interest of buying Reese what so ever... with likeness or not.

Well I stand corrected, maybe with a likeness, for a Sheriff Hague custom

How much money did it cost Hot Toys to develop the Arnold body?
How much does it cost them to make more bodies?
How much to have the sculptors sit and sculpt the 2 Arnold sculpts?
How much to paint the sculpts?
How much did it cost to sculpt mold and cast the weapons?
How much did it cost to do a new T1 battle damage arm?
How much does it cost to make the box art, pay for the licenses, and manufacture the boxes?
How much is the upkeep to maintain their website?
How much to advertise this product?

The body was developed for the T2 Arnold, so $0 more. The new battle damaged arm < T2 battle damaged arm. And everything else except two sculpts, like I previously stated, they paid for on any figure released. So, tell me again why it's more than the T2, with one perfect sculpt and better clothes.

Prices naturally go up.

From the newsletter:

Many fans have awaited this classic character for long! Now, we are more than happy to let you know – he'll be back!

Featuring the image of Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie, this classic T800 collectible from The Terminator movie highlights his newly sculpted head, together with the left eye damaged head for fans to revisit the battle scene in the movie!

In view of the popularity of the T800 collectible figure from the Terminator 2 movie, this T800 collectible from the first episode also uses the same muscular body which stands out his forcefulness in his casual wear!

The bloody damaged right forearm is also equipped so that he can handle surgery for himself with his medical accessories!

Needless to mention are the detailed weapons including the long slide pistol and guns!

Couldn't have said it better

It's more because it is THE TERMINATOR. Get over it. Buy it or don't. And be ready for a Police Shootout version that'll be the same price. Don't have a heart attack.

**EDIT** Almost forgot

Why is this releasing so soon? Before Expendables figure. Royce, Ghost Rider, Hans Landa and T800 all gonna hit at the same time. They really force you to choose.

which is the more iconic piece, this T-800 or the police shootout? if you had to choose only one to represent the movie for your collection?

I see no choice in your list. T-800 for the win.

This is an excellent point. Glad I didn't preorder any of those but T1 Arnie.

If I had to choose it would be this one. Reminds me of my childhood.

Watching the movie as a kid I loved the part when he goes into the Technoir and shoots the poop out of it. Just a childhood memory.
