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

[Sidious-66]

Chev you should look out for P. pictures of this mod as his blows mine away.

To be honest it isn't even movie accurate but you may as well go to town with the jacket as sometimes movie accuracy just goes right out of the window.

I think you did a dam good job personally

Look what arrived today!

I must have lost my marbles though because this thing cost me an arm and a leg. I ended up bidding waaay more than I expected on a bike, JUST for this part!
I was planning to make some money back from selling other parts of the BMW R90S though, but unfortunately, the condition in which the previous owner left the other bike parts in, is really bad!
Still, really happy to have this part so I can start work on my T1 bike!

Cheers mate. It is such a simple mod to do and looks great.

Looking forward to seeing WIP TFG. The extra dough spent on the part will be worth it once you have it complete.

 

[Terminator_Fan_Game]

Thank you Sidious!
I will definitely post WIP and final pics once I start on it. Ive wanted to do this bike for such a long time, and now it can finally happen!
But first, Im gonna actually finish my Arm & Eye surgery table...
You still down for one, .P?

Nice job on your jacket, by the way! I would be terrified in case the whole jacket set on fire, or if I burned too much of a hole!
Its a great effect though, just something I couldnt bring myself to do out of fear!

Looking forward to seeing your T1 bike man

It is good that even after a few years since his release that this figure can still give out so many possibilities.

Bikes, Surgery scenes, battle damaged etc.

TFG - Will you be getting a hand gun for your T1 on his bike?

Agreed. I think a-dev and .P have pretty much shown how many possibilities this figure offers!

I only have 4 looks covered from T1 -

HTs really do need to make an updated Police Station shootout version though, and then we could make all possibilities even easier.

Yeah, I'll more than likely get a handgun for him...it just depends how easily available that particular handgun model is in 1/6 scale.
I hope its not as rare as the AR-18(0)!

Yeah .P and a-dev know their stuff and I also wake up everyday hoping that this is the day that HT has announced a 1/6 scale Police Station Assault/Tanker Truck Pursuit T1 figure.

The hand gun pose on the bike would look boss so I hope that you can get one.

 

[a-dev]

Thanks for the namedropping fellas

P. is the T1 man, I think he has done more T1 related set ups than me and gone into more detail on them.

My hope one day is that I'll log on and find 3 or 4 PMs or visitor messages - "A-dev, where the hell are you? Hot Toys Police Shootout T-800 and Kyle ****ing Reese revealed at last!!" And it'll happen that way because these things always get shown during my sleeping hours. The threads will already be 20 pages long by the time I check in. And I'll be in work, on a busy day.

Aside from the figures my remaining grails would be the T1 bike, T-1000's police bike, John Connors dirtbike, dioramas and set dressings. Plans are already in motion for T2 John Connor, Frozen T-1000 and Kyle Reese* should HT not make any of these.

Im so jealous of their T1 collection!

Thanks for that link!
That guy really done his research on Reese! Not many realise that his pants are rugby style pants with elastic waistband.
I was halfway though making another 1984 Reese(sold my other 2 when the MMS136 was announced, expecting HTs to announce 1984 Reese...) so now this guys custom Reese will mean I dont have to sew my own trenchcoat, vest, and pants!

I hope you get your wish and HT make them all for you buddy. Yeah same here the stuff are always announced when I wake up.

I just know that the PS T1, Batman Returns and the Battle-Damaged Robocop are all going to be announced around the same time.

I know my T1 too(its my favorite movie), but I just dont have the money!
Im so jealous of their T1 collection!

T1 is my favourite of the Terminator movies but I'm no expert I just have T1 and T2 in my all time favourite movies list so I would just like to get a PS figure and I would be happy. I have Neca for everything else.

 

[The Chev]

Major Props to movie accuracy photos. I like doing them. However, I like to take what the figures give me cause sometimes the figures can't do poses they did in the film *coughBanecough*

 

[Sidious-66]

I agree as I have said in the past some of the best poses you get with the figures is the non movie accuracy poses.

 

[The Skull]

Yeah, I'll more than likely get a handgun for him...it just depends how easily available that particular handgun model is in 1/6 scale.
I hope its not as rare as the AR-18(0)!

Heres a link to the gun, its a smith an Wesson 38 model 15

Yep you'd have got it for around £40 if I hadn't have upped the bid at the last moments bad timing I guess

I just bought a full boxed one for under what this one went for from Taiwan though Got him to mark it down on the shipping form too

@Terminator_Fan_Game, What red do you plan on spraying your CB 750 ? I'm looking at either (Tamiya 85036 TS-36 Fluorescent Red or Tamiya 85049 TS-49 Bright Red)

On another note, Whats the best skin tone for re-painting the HT BD head ?, I read on onesixthwarriors someone suggests >"Reaper minatures Tanned flesh tones or a mixture of them and other flesh tones is usually a good match to HT" Anyone else had something better ?

 

[a-dev]

You guys and your model building skills. All I can do is hope one of you falls on hard times and sells your bike to me, fully assembled and painted

Thanks for that link!

Hopefully it goes ahead. No matter what I'll still be hoping HT makes an official one but in case they don't have the good sense to.....

I hope you get your wish and HT make them all for you buddy.

Thanks. Although I'm not expecting HT to make any Terminator-based vehicles. My only hope is that people sell theirs or could take the commission to build them for me were I to purchase and send them the kits. I'm just an obsessive Terminator collector, my talents are rather limited.

Yeah as long as there are customizers out there then there is always hope.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
I wish I got it for £40! I was expecting the bidding to go to about £90-100 tops, but just to be sure, I put my max bid in as £145 at the last 10 seconds to go!
I ended up putting in just the right amount to beat the other guy(was it you who bidded about £140?).
It was crazy!

I was about to immediately buy that one from Taiwan if I lost that bid...
You got the better deal mate, trust me...as long as customs dont charge you.
I also found the bike on a Germany hobby shop for £109 including shipping, but I didnt know if I would have got charged by customs or not.
Anyways, Im just very glad that Ive got it.

Not really looked about the paints yet, but I'll buy a few different reds, and do some testing and report back to you, if you havent already gone ahead with yours by then.

As for skin tone, thats something I havent done yet either, so unfortunately I have no idea.
