Hot Toys-T-600 (Rubber Skin ver) spec and hi-res pics

[tylerdurden]

Hot Toys are dangerous like that. Making me want to buy figures from films I'd had no previous interest in. I'm trying..really trying to resist the urge to buy that Blade figure. I watched the first 2 films again the other night just to see if I really need a figure to represent them in my collection. I was never exactly overwhelmed by those films and I still amn't and yet I could go either way on the figure. I've been changing my mind daily since the pics appeared. "He'd go nice with Wolverine" I say, only to be countered by "yeah but you'd never even heard of the character till you saw the films, he wasn't part of your childhood, he has no nostalgia factor"...I retort again with "but he looks so cool, imagine him fighting Wolverine!"...."you don't even know if they exist in the same universe!" AAARRRGHHHH!!!


Anyway thats a bit off-topic. I look forward to seeing my Skinjob T-600 again. I only had him out of his box for a short period before having to put him away and never even assembled him with all his gear knowing I'd have to take it apart again. Its a beautiful figure, I love the imposing size. I really think the P1 predator, though an excellent figure, should have been closer to this size.

my collecting habits are simple. if i like the figure enough, i'll get it, regardless of how i feel about the movie. but more likely, i'll get the figure if it's a well-made and (reasonably) accurate rendition of a character from a movie i love. eg: predator, t2, aliens, etc.

the rest of the time, i base it on my liking of the collectible itself. example: the darth talon pf. she's not part of the movies and i know very little about her. but i like the character design and the pf is just beautifully rendered. so i decided to get her.

of course, as the other forummers here have pointed out, peer influence can be vewy, vewy dangerous!

Well Terminator Salvation was a bit of a let down (still enjoyed it though) and here we are lapping these figures up.

But yes, I do very much agree that Hot Toys are dangerous.

Tell me about it. I really didn't care for the Concept Version 600 but from all the pictures and people talking about it here, I ended up picking one up on Ebay for what I think is a pretty damn good price.

I didn't think I'd want any of the Hot Toys with real clothes but here I am considering in getting John Connor and Blade II.

Decided to be 'mature' toy collector so gonna get rid of lots of cheaper action figures to make room for these.

I got Iron Man Mark One for my birthday, then got Mark 1 from an art/design trade and I'm now totally hooked on Hot Toys.

Want to avoid paying for them though if I can as I personally have tough time being mentally cool with paying nearly 200 quid for what is essentialy an action figure.

I trade my skillz for Hot Toys and it seems to be fruitful so far luckily!

I know 200 Squids is alot of cash to fork out,, would it be cheaper to order from a US retailer and have it posted to you?
I know Hot Toys is a dangerous game to play.

I moved to HT beginning of this year with the agreement to the misses that id only get one every few months ...
Already have 6 and my want list is still expanding.

Aye!
I think this is where woman's undertanding about boys goes out the door. We are a sucker for well made toys.
I've told my missus that I will only do art or design for Hot Toys. I dunno if I can keep that promise as there quite a few I want!!

Thing is though, these are a great investment too.

 

[jutty]

yes they are..,i sometimes hear " sell some of your toys if you want more ,make more room"
i just laugh ,, (like that would happen )

 

[kairus]

I believe the base body is the same for all the T-600's. it's just the different accessories that make a difference.

 

[Predanator]

Yep, it's only the accessories that are different.

 

[Eamon]

Anyone know if these are showing in Canada yet?

Quick opinion needed my fellow freaks! I have a local comic shop selling this figure for $100, the catch is the box is busted up pretty bad, no slip cover and the light up features don't work. I just spent a good amount of money on some bills, but I've been wanting this figure on the cheap. Should I buy it?

The eyes don't light up? On a Terminator? No deal bro! IMO

 

[devastator's balls]

Yea that's what I was thinking, I think that's why he's selling it so cheap. He don't have the batteries either. Thanks for your help.

If the eyes work, it's a good deal. How bout picking up some batteries from Radio Shack and give it a try? You can always return the batteries if it doen't work out.

My T-600 (Tubber Skin ver) has shipped!!!

I got the whole crew now. :chew

Okay I can try that, umm do you know if the batteries are the same as the ones used for the Pred 1 bio? I have spares lying around and I can try that. And also. you think it's easy to fix if the light-up device?

These batteries are the same. It's a lot cheaper to get them on ebay. Radioshack of watch and jewelry stores tends to rip you off. Just buy a bunch on ebay and put them away as back up.
