1/6 Hot Toys-The Terminator (T1)-MMS 238-T-800-(Battle Damaged Version) 1/6 Scale Figure

[anwe]

Man I been out of the loop for a few months so seeing this guy out is a bit of a shock. So probably been discussed to death but what is the general feeling on this figure then? From the pics I have seen he looks ace apart from looking a little to less 'muscular' if you will.

Waiting for my two to arrive but knowing the UK stores are always last to get their stock in I got a while to go yet.

Well..

Head(s) too large, body too small, neck too thin, blood stains on back of shirt negating the possibility of reversing it for a clean look/no extra clean shirt, shirt too short, lapels on jacket glued/sewn, jacket and pants too form fitted making the figure look too small, boots too soft so figure has problem keeping on its feet without stand, lights in head have a 30 second timer, AR-18 too large, 38 revolver too large, face too rosy in the cheeks.

So it's your basic average everyday ordinary run-of-the-mill ho-hum Hot Toys release.

why would you want to do that you'll just end up burning out the led in the eye eventually.

When I say always I mean 10, 20 min max..leaving it on 24 7 i would never do that, and yes battery would die very very quick...
just like it on when looking at my figures...even a couple of min is better than 40 secs just my thought...

I see.

But as good old Jack Burton said 'What the hell', still bought, lol.

 

[anwe]

Yeah, I will probably get another one soon.

Ain't that the truth. I could get out of the poor house if I stopped collecting.

I think this complete's my set of "The Terminator" However I'm gonna need a better table for the arm surgery, this one here is just a temporary thing.

Good job. I think you covered just about every talking point in the thread.

Very nice T1 focus you've got there. Given the relatively limited amount of T1 toys compared to T2. If you dabble in low-end at all you should try to add the NECA figures.

We need a Kyle Reese to go with all our T1 Terminator figs.

To dev absolutely losing his s---.

Drunk posting. It's faaaantastic.

The thing I hate is when the ebay sellers break down new things, again and start the prices at the prices the previous bidders/winners bid them up to. There's no winning.

Remember those Robocop parts with those bidders paying $450 for just some arms, legs and a torso? Well I kept watching those get put up and ended up scoring the torso and neck peg for $40. Pretty cheap compared to the $150 one someone paid a few auctions back. I saw people weren't biting anymore on the auctions with zero bids and figured "I got this, I can get those legs, arms and head for cheap now". Nope. Now the seller starts it at the prices they ended at when bidders were bidding them up (for ex. instead of starting at 5 bucks they start the auction at $90)!

Buffoonery I say.

Too bad the articulation isn't enough to bring the hand closer to the head, but that's as close as it gets. Looks amazing!

Well it does the job actually. The angle of that pic may not show it but I've got the arm very tightly bent and the gun pretty close to the face.

Terminators are in the house

Congrats sir!

Dev, the angry drunk. When I get drunk, which is rare, I get really friendly. Perhaps I should get drunk more often.

Guys.... Got my figure from AE today and saw this small part floating around in the plastic box. Any idea where it is from. Very difficult to take pics as its like 5 mm small. Looks like a gun part or so... Anyone who can help by checking their figure

Thank you sir, I do think I'm done with the Terminator, but i wouldn't mind Kyle Reese and a Linda Hamilton with the 1st Terminator likeness.
