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

[Mikekind]

you right kara and you can add my t1 is in walking pose with the legs bended..so it results smaller than the t2 in stand position
btw I do not like this version of body ...

That is an impressive optical illusion. Angles really are everything!

Wow, just embarrasing for the "stock" HT there. Looks laughingly bad.. ..and I have two of them..

That's some dedication, buying several different bodies at high cost for just one figure, but looks worth it. What pants are you using? I got a spare set of pants to bash my third figure but really I would like to get rid of them all, the MMS238 pants really look like **** on the figure.

Thanks
this is my grail figure, terminator was the first movie i saw in Theatres and the police look always was my favorite.
Ive been buying spare bodies usually for alternate gears but this a first for me.
Its been a blast peicing up together the body itself ^^
The pants come from the platoon figures, i think its the barnes ones they can strech at the waist.

Hey olbert! I have a small question: i have an unused tech noir body too... Planned to use it for a kit bash, but first thing i noticed once i tried the mms 238 head on it, is how much thinner the neck is...
From what you are saying, i understand that somehow youve made de mms 136 torso fit, and look appropriate with another head...
How did you do that? Any tips?
I wanted to use the whole body, not replace another torso with the 136 torso, but still, the neck is too thin...

The mms 136 is the bulkier chest of the whole T800 bodies(with the mms117) so he will look better than the original MMS238 body.
You just need to make the neck bulkier, i used paper/masking tape that i roll around the inner neck joint.
To do it more easely, i opened the chest took the neck peg and rolled the tape, i must have added 5 milimeters around the neckpeg.
Trial and errors, test the headsculpt on the neck.
Once ur done, leave the taped neck peg inside the neck and replace it on the body.

Great! Thanks for the info!... Now i only need to find out how to open the chest! Haha
Ive see the tape mod, on the mms 238, but the neck on the 136 is even smaller! I wasn't sure i was going to stretch enough and look appropriate in the end...

And this question goes, for anyone than can help me! (Posting in dx13 thread and mms238 too)
A few days back, i was changing the the head on my dx13, to the more damaged one...
While i was taking the head off, the neck piece, inside the rubber neck detached from the body...
I had a hard time putting it back, but was able to do it ... BUT im not sure if it was important which side attached to the body and which one to the headsculpt...
Is that important? Or are both sides the same? because i might have put it upside down, not As it was originally
And It didn't break... Just detached from the body... Should i take any precautions? Or will it be ok?
Thanks in advance guys!

The mms136 neck streches just fine dont worry, i think its actually softer than mms238 rubber, to make it easier you can use a hairdryer. i will up date with picture if i can. To open the chest, there is a seam on the right side just detach it there. The mms136 will stay a bit smaller on top (the rubber is thicker and will avoid you going all the way to the top.
It will fit nicely with the mms238 head, you micht need to heat up the base of the mms238 headsculpt to make it less tight on the edges and fit more nicely.
Only notpick for me the color do not match, the mms136 body i have was very light skinned, but nothing that can be fixed (the neck look a tiny bit thinnner on my pic but for real its a perfect match


About the DX10 and other neck pegs, i think the rectangle hole on the side is supposed to be upside.
yu are just suposed to force it a bit to get it if its really too hard try the other side.

I would caution that MMS238 heads need MMS238 neckplugs. Any other neck plug might break as I found out the hard way....twice.

 

[karamazov80]

I put my extra on a DX-10 body and haven't had any issues yet, but maybe I've been lucky.

 

[a-dev]

Maybe both breaks I had were unfortunate flukes but I wasn't willing to push my luck.

The best and safest inner neck pegs custom made.
I used a few and its much better than the original ones.
they accept any pegs, move better.
They dont come out of the body neck as much as one of the pictures shows, on mine they stay inside the neck and have the perfect size for all T800 bodies

Also you can get these one from onesixthkit, they need some force to be put on but they are very hard and work great.
Heat might help to put them on .

Pretty sure the artist is a member here himself, we've seen that diorama before, it's very nice. He's quite inventive. Did a cool Robocop 'movie poster' one aswell and a Back to the Future Battle of the Bands diorama.

 

[DEATHASYLUM]

Yeah, I think he had a fantastic Indy rolling ball and Robo w/car display that looked real nice.

No this is not my work, very similar but if you look at my pics they are different.

Thanks for the compliment, but this is not mine. But its all good.
