Hot Toys Terminator 2: Judgment Day: T-800 (Galleria version) 2.0

[Darth Meda]

I wonder if Hot Toys will drop and updated die-cast T-800 so that they have one out in the market before Inart?

No idea why it's apparently gonna take an act of congress to get a friggin T2 Arnie head right.

Good Lord.

MMS117 codename ''BattleToad'' - munchkin squashed face
DX10 codename ''SilverBack'' - gargantuan barrel neck and cranial hump
DX13 codename ''Deathstar'' - face approximately 99 miles wide

new figure codename ''Deathstar II''

Well not exactly, that would imply that the face on the new figure is even wider again - it's not. It's about the same as DX13. But it's the same issue repeated over 10 years later which is quite frustrating.

Sunglasses look really big as well, preordered the battle damage one not sure about this one so far

based on Inart's reputation for slow releases and relative inexperience with a diecast figure, I'd say Hot Toys is a safer bet.

then again, Hot Toys has disappointed us time and time again with figures we think are in the pipeline or get teased but never see the light of day (except in Howard Chan's private vault).

Look at the Phantom Menace 25th Anniversary licensing announcement in 2024 - I believe only Darth Maul went up for PO. We got a Jar Jar teaser but nothing else. Was hoping we finally get a young Anakin or some variation of Padme/Queen Amidala.

Is it possible this clean T-800 they displayed at the showcase is still the older release? Hopefully that’s the case, and they plan to hold off showing the new one until the official announcement comes. I also can’t imagine they would give the other two those environmental bases and just a regular one for this version, but we’ll see.

They're really struggling with those lapel shapes.

Isn't this & the BD version their first T-800s with real leather jackets? I wonder if the material likely being slightly thicker than on previous iterations has anything to do with the lapels being larger on this prototype (i.e., to get them to lie flat). The lapels on the new BD version are all messed up so hard to tell if those are any better. Regardless, hopefully HT fixes them before this goes up for order.

I believe so, but it's not the first time they've had inaccurate lapels on a Terminator figure. I think they might have been smaller in the past, but still not the right shape.

The DX10 had a leather jacket and pants.

I hope they fix this figure. I mean, we know they can. But will they is really a long shot. I'd hope JazzInc would give us a proper 1/6 scale Fat Boy for him to ride.
