Meh

Looks ok.
Price is mental.
Film will be tripe.
PASS.

That's a pretty good summation of my mindset with this release.

$250 for a barebones figure with a shotgun?

No thanks, jeff.

Looks like Van Dame to me with glasses. Looks more like Van Dame then the enterbay one. Maybe they should make a try for Van Dame and we will get an Arnold.

That is god damn dead on. Beautiful!

I thought the sculpt looked terrible at first, but seeing it floating there, it does capture Ancient Arnold pretty well. When you whack that head on a body wearing the typical T800 outfit though, it just turns my stomach.

Speaking of the outfit...How long since the T800 was sent back in time in this movie? Why's he still wearing the same set of clothes? Aren't they supposed to blend in? A bulky pensioner rocking around in leathers and shades is surely going to stand out anywhere apart from a barbecue at Dog The Bounty Hunter's house. They should have tried something different for once, reached for realism and decked Ancient Arnie out in age appropriate attire:



The thought of the thudding Terminator theme (Dun-Dun-Dun-Dun-Dun) kicking in as the camera pans up a pair of sandals over socks (beige), half-mast stay-creased action slacks (beige), checked shirt (beige and not quite beige), cardigan (beige) and flat cap (brown), would make me cringe slightly less than anything I've seen in any of the trailers thus far.

I do want this but way overpriced. I'll save up some reward points to use on this. It looks great but I can't bite at that price.

Head sculpt(s) look fantastic.

Figure is barebones, though.

Should have been priced at $150.00 and would have sold like hot-cakes. Instead will languish on the island of mispriced toys.

Scary thought people. They're likely gonna do a Kyle Reese from this movie before Michael Beihn

T2 is my mind the definitive look of the character because that was my first exposure to Terminator. I saw T2 in theaters, not knowing anything about the movie, the story or the characters, so imagine how awesome it was to go see T2 with zero knowledge thinking that we were just going to go see some action movie, and then getting blown away by it.

Afterwards, we rented T1 because I wanted to see the original, and at first it was strange seeing the T 800 with long hair and wearing the punk outfit and later the leather look with brown pants, but I understood that was the original look, and I really liked the film because it felt like a Terminator film, and I could see how T2 just reused some of the scenes from the first film. But still, nothing beats the T2 outfit with the sunglasses in my mind, which makes me wonder how hardcore Terminator fans felt about the look in T2 back then? Maybe they felt the same way we feel now about TG.

that's what T2 outfit mostly associates with for me.

you mean "instead of".

OMG I can't believe HT did this. I don't know why I expected anything less. Seriously a "Pops" T-800? WHY....WHY? Would make too much sense to do a die-cast 1/6 scale endoskeleton T2 style. I would even have preferred the new style endoskeleton over this thing.

Let me guess the next figure we'll get from this line is the Grey haired Pops LOL

well because you people all asked for something more than another ironman!

I'm too much of a Schwarzenegger fan and a Terminator fan to not get this. The price is a bit high but I'm glad it has two head sculpts. Definitely light on accessories otherwise though.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Damn, that was fast. And the wait for Alien Ripley continues....

 

[Iggyrox]

Wonder how much licensing from Matchless bumped that price up. Hard to see the overall value at $235. Welcome to your next Angelica, Sideshow.

Instant Pre Order! ...... From the second market

 

[Agentofchaos]

It is just sad to see what has happened to one of my favorite characters and franchises. movie looks horrendous. this piece is way overpriced - im sure it will be found for much less post release. the only thing i would get from this line would be an endo - hopefully hot toys comes through and releases a new 1/6 scale endo and doesn't stop with just this figure. Also, there has got to be a battle damaged version of this...but we already have such a superior representation of this character from T2..

Meh, just get Dchung's.

I'll get him for sure
