I'll wager HT will make Reese, i'm sure Michael Biehn could use the money.

Sean GTFO , I want no more pics! Retired this thread and close it, where's BD and where is REESE!!!!

I thought HT was on a roll, cranking out the Terminator figures. I was so expecting a Reese by know. If HT doesn't get it done, I'm going to have to pick up a Snyder-Man head sculpt and make my own.

Is this figure one of HT's best? I keep looking over him and it just is awesome in look and detail from top to botton. Much underappreciated , the T2 T 800 got all the applause but with the EB T 800 coming that has subsided....

To me, this is one HT's best figures for representing the source, the porportions, the sculpt, the costume, just all very well executed. I think this figure flies under the radar because for some, it's not the look from T1 they want most, and for others, we were getting great Terminator releases and had high hopes for more to roll out with this figure and it became a sort of bittersweet end to HT Terminators.

Yep- I HOPE that the EB T 800 wakes HT up and they return in full force with a couple new Terminator releases- one hopefully BD T 800 from T2.

For those of you that have swapped the regular arm with the Battle damaged arm, is it hard to remove?

Edit: I remember many people saying that the T2 T-800's arm was almost impossible to remove once they had swapped it.

 

[MaulFan]

I found it easier but i think mainly because you can grip this arm where the T2 endo arm is mostly fragild and not easy to hold for popping off.

I actually prefer the T1 Arnold, before his hair gets burnt. He just looks more like an infiltrator.

Boil and dip method, it's actually just a little rubber piece on the inside part of the arm that holds it into the socket. It will become pliable after the heated water is applied and then return to its normal state once cooled.

This figure is highly recommended!

Thanks for the tips guys. I'm going to try it later, hopefully without damaging anything

I actually think this T1 figure is my favourite Hot Toys release to date.
I love my T2 a lot as well but T1 to me is just a bit special.

Good to hear comments like that- something about this figure makes it a favorite to keep looking back at it and reposing!
