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

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Perfect answer.

To quote Cameron. The T-800's were Panzer Tanks while the 1000 series were supposed to be like a Porsche.

Where are my props?

I was the one that made the correction.

I love watching the Extras on all the T2 stuff. I still have my metal cover from my Ultimate edition DVD from like 2000. They packed so much stuff on there, it was amazing.

Still Cameron's favorite edition.
When i met him at the press junket for AVATAR and presented it to sign it he was "yes thats the one you need to hold on" lol

I sold mine less than six months ago...

I still have the Metal cover. I should get another copy. It was mighty impressive.

obviously 101 has nothing to do with flesh cover, especially because a) humans don't know those numbers and b) if Reese knew what terminator looked like he wouldn't have to wait until it acts.
but that doesn't mean anything to internet specialists who never need any movie material for writing their encyclopedias, wikipedias and other pedias ) they read one word from a director who is not even the only script writer and repeat it over and over, no matter how against the movie it is.

I get what your saying. It's the worst with Lucas and people hanging on his every word.

Got a question for the master futzers.

I'm trying to replicate this in the attachment but no matter how i position the arm the stock on the machine gun is in the way so it won't sit flush with the hand and points down if you understand and just looks stupid and unrealistic. Any ideas?

Also i need to get a body for my PS figure. Should i just buy a TTM20 or is there another cheaper option that works just as well?

I know the body is based on Arnie and the double jointed elbows can only be better but i just wanted to ask your thoughts

Frank, I had the same problem, and what I did what it looks like the picture shows is the hand is turned up at the wrist joint so it doesn't point down.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Tried that already didn't work

The way the rubber on the arms comes right up to the peg limits the up movement of the hand because of the glove

Also lifting it up as far as i could get it without popping the hand off just pushed the stock closer to his forearm

I thought about taking the stock off but then it wouldn't be accurate

[The Chev]

Interesting. I didn't seem to have a problem.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Yeah it works for the pose your doing as he's holding it straight in front

If you actually look the gun is pointing downwards because of how he's holding the gun. If you push the gun further down into his hand so it's flush then it would be in the way

Which when you position the arm down by his side like in the picture i posted the stock is in the way and instead of the gun pointing up like it should be it points down and looks crap haha

I see what your saying. Now i'm going to futz later to see if I can get it right.

 

[The Chev]

I'm just thinking out loud but can we try not having the stock rest on the wrist and slightly off so it's not pushing? I can't try it myself at the moment.

Well, I think you have a point - that it doesn't really make sense for the 101 to refer to the flesh cover - but this detail has been appearing on toy boxes now for years. If memory serves the boxes of the old Sideshow 1/6 figures went into a lot of detail about it. It hasn't been contradicted by any of these actual movie writers like Cameron and Fisher...or Wisher, can't remember his name - the people who know what was intended.

As I said though you make a good point - if the model number refers to the flesh cover and the resistance knows these model numbers and the particular flesh cover that they refer to - then Skynet's ''infiltration'' is busted. On the other hand if the resistance only finds out these model numbers at the last minute, like when they are just about to send Reese back through time, how does Reese even remember that little detail. Not impossible that he could but less plausible than if they'd known it for a long time. And at Tech Noir couldn't Reese have spotted the 'model 101' a bit before he was actually on Sarah with the gun pointed at her head? Incidentally Sarah should have been dead right there. A real machine wouldn't take a dramatic pause.

That looks like one of my old pics actually. Its pretty much as Chev said though, you angle the wrist up, I don't remember doing anything else. I could be that you are achieving whats in the pic but in person you're looking at it from all angles. If that is indeed one of my pics maybe mine too looked weird from other angles.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

That's possible.

When i was posing him last night though i was doing it on my desk imitating the angle as best as i could, i was even taking photos to see if it was just the camera capturing something my eyes couldn't.

Even though i got the rest of the figure in pretty much the exact same pose and angle I could not get the gun to look like it was point up or straight due to the stock. It was quite obviously still pointing down and i was even pushing the stock to the side effectively bending it

I will try and take a picture later so you can see what i mean, as i deleted the ones i took last night

Btw it's the best pose i've seen!

Has anyone modded a way to hide the Uzi underneath the jacket?

 

[Sidious-66]

a-dev did you not recently post a pic of the T1 on a TTM-20 with the Uzi flush to his shoulder?

Also thanks to P. as I recently stole his idea for a burnt damaged T1 with the other head sculpt. I recently picked up another jacket and basically mashed it up with flame and ash. It really is a great idea if you have a spare jacket.

 

[a-dev]

I did but it wasn't a TTM20 body, just an arm from same swapped onto the MMS136 body.

 

[Sidious-66]

Oh I see.

It was a nice picture and it really captured that stalking scene of Sarah in the Tech Noir club.

 

[a-dev]

That's what I was after. He fires a few more shots at Reese behind the bar and then suddenly turns back towards Sarah with the gun held up like that - the double-jointed elbow was needed.

 

[Sidious-66]

Yeah when the dead person is holding her down. Top marks to you as you achieved that look to a tee.

 

[a-dev]

Cheers. Getting a pose right really elevates a figure, actually making it look more realistic.
