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

[Shai]

Let it be known:

Quiggle is a retard and this figure kick ass!!!

 

[Cap'n Cook]

I'm sure some day that will happen, especially if people ask them about it. Look at the hand pegs. I remember a time not to long ago where we only received two hand pegs and if they broke, that was too bad. You were at the mercy of their customer service or had to resort to ebay.

Now look, every figure comes with a baggie of extras. I wouldn't mind a display stand for the spare heads.

True that.

Hope so anyway. I just brought it up on FB.

 

[Platty]

A spare headstand would definitely be a nice addition, the DX batman springs to mind!

Just saw this mod made to the longslide pistol. Thought that some of you Guys would like to see it:

[Fason]

nice mod they did, thats what i was hoping for from hot toys, or something like it. oh well.

 

[PharOOO]

Well, just took the plunge and ordered 2. I'll take the one that quiggle didn't want because he has friends at are cops and that the studs off the jacket might fall off. haha

 

[jutty]

On a side note, I wish HT would start giving away those stands they use to display the spare heads with the figures.

Does anyone know if theres somthing else to display the 2nd head like that,,and where i can get it

Nice! Ive seen this mod quite a few times but i havent seen how it was done until now.
I have 2 spare .45 longslides so i may consider doing this mod.
Thanks.

does anyone know what US based website is offering this figure for the cheapest price?

You know what was awesome? When the Terminator walks into Tech Noir and walks past the cashier who says "Hey, that guy didn't pay!" When the bouncer puts his hand on Arnold's shoulder, Arnold casually reaches back and crushes the bouncer's hand and you hear the bones break. That is why this figure is a must.

Got my PO for 175.99 from Alter Ego

Yeah, I've been looking around for the cheapest Pre-Order price for it too! I don't have any SS points, and they're asking about $196.00 for it before shipping. So I'm checking all of the usual websites too.

I am not 100% sold on this figure. I really want to like it, but something is off with the regular head's likeness. IMHO the miss is with the proportions of the Brow line, Cheek bones, Cheeks, and the chin...something is off.

IDK i guess I'm spoiled by Trevor Grove's T-800 PF sculpt...or maybe it's because I'm not a Hot Toys collector...but the likeness it not 100% there. It's about 75-80% there on the regular sculpt (similar to the T-1000 head sculpt)...it's close but no cigar.

$200 for a 12" figure, the likeness on the regular head should be closer than it is.

Actually the part I think is more effective and potentially more over-looked is the scene almost directly after that. Sarah is sitting at the table all alone looking hugely vulnerable. She accidentally knocks a bottle off the table. Just as she bends down to pick it up you see the T-800 slowly, menacingly, methodically walking past scanning the crowd, in stark contrast to the dancers having a good time around it. That scene gives me the chills everytime.
It's at 2:15 in this clip:

thanks. that's the same price from urban collector. i haven't found cheaper yet.

2:20,love the dance moves on the guy on the left

Glad you like that version. I love film grain. And sharp details that dont look 'soft'

It's not your fault as there was a lot of disinformation about this release. For one the screen caps that were posted around the time it came out were completely false, as I paused at the very same scenes to compare them.

Also here are reviews which show that the Skynet version has a better picture as well as a ton more extras.

I like grain too, I got my Gladiator changed, and I now hate what they did to Predator, but to say Terminator 2 is ruined by DNR is simply not true, because most reviews state that picture is sharper than the previous Blu-Ray. Yes there is room for improvement, but the facts are this is the best way to see Terminator 2 at the moment

You can see how far off the HT shirt pattern is in that clip... no squigglies or circles on the upper part of the shirt just mostly V pattern motif.

I would have to completely disagree.

The shirt pattern changes throughout the film. trust me.
The main thing that bothers me is that Hot Toys have mistaken the word "Modern" for the word "Mode" LOL
Here is my attempt at the shirt(the pattern is too "thick" and the word "Modern" is not tilted at the correct angle but the whole thing looks better in person)

I combined the different looks from the film and production shots to get this pattern.
It looks like Hot Toys concentrated more on the production shots.



I think hot toys did well apart from the "Mode" issue.
