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

[Terminator_Fan_Game]

I don't check this thread often enough. You guys have some cool stuff going on here.



Reminds me of the PS shootout surveillance camera photos they had Arnold redo in T2. Looks cool though his face needs to be fuller to fit T1.



Nice work and nice pose!

It reminds me of that scene too, but personally I like the DX head more than the MMS136 battle damaged head.
I find the likeness to Arnold to be better, and its a bigger sculpt so its not squished...I think the facial expression looks meaner too.

Has anyone tried to mod the hair of the DX figure to look more like T1? I'm curious how that would turn out.

So I was watching the Police Assault scene just now, and I thought "they could never do this today" with all the gun debates and everything going on. I think once we reached the middle to late 90's it would have been difficult to do.

You could have a point. I was actually thinking of this when I rewatched the movie recently. Really depressing that this great moment of sci-fi horror is a bit tainted now by the realities of psychopaths who should all be put down like rabid dogs.

I agree about the likeness.

I dont think anyones done it yet, but I'll be modding the hair on mine at some point. The hair is the only thing that bothers me about using the T2 head for my custom.

And its weird because I watched T1 again just last week and thought exactly the same thing about the Police station shootout scene!

I cut the threads holding the side collars down on the DX jacket for my police shootout bash. Makes a huge difference. Loving this guy.

Looking good kara, what gun are you using for the ar18? looks good.

 

[karamazov80]

That's the one that came with the Aoshima figure.

Nice, that's the only ar18 in 1/6 scale and very hard to come by.

Congrats!

You know I've never found movies to be "tainted" by real life atrocities unless the actors or filmmakers themselves were involved in a crime. OJ, Edward Rooney, etc.

If you think about it pretty much any violent crime on film has some basis in reality or could be pretty easily replicated unless you're watching something crazy like Scanners or something.

I think T1 could still have been made today. We've had lots of violent movies in the wake of mass shootings, from the Matrix lobby scene to last year's Django Unchained.

 

[karamazov80]

I meant tainted in the sense that it affects the viewing experience of some by reminding them of it. There was actually a movie called Elephant that was a dramatization of Columbine, so I wasn't suggesting that films couldn't or wouldn't show that. But I do think the Terminator scene is more like the horrible real life situations we've seen than those others you mention (or any number of other on-screen massacres) because of the nature of the perpetrator (no emotion, slowly and methodically cutting down those who don't offer any serious threat to him) and victims (people who in no way deserved their fate, or were not killed for some greater good).

Matrix actually came out 3 or 4 weeks before the mass shooting at Columbine in USA, and I remember it coming under fire cause it was the Hot movie at the time, and the lobby scene had two people in trench coats shooting a bunch of people up.

My Feelings on Django are while it is violent, it's very over the top and almost to the point of being humorous. Not only that, not only that. There isn't a scene in there where a man walks into a public building and massacres a bunch of innocent people.

In a way you are right, T1 could be made, as in a director or studio could make it. However the chances of there being a backlash is far greater than 1984.

Well said, that's what I was getting at with my comment. I've always wanted to see Elephant, but never got the chance. I'm a big believe in not censoring art. Every time a tragedy happens people try and blame something or someone that had no connection the events like Marylin Manson after Columbine.
