Hot Toys TTM 20-22 TrueType Basic Series discussion & what to use them for?.

Arnie is looking good there buddy.

Well that is one suggestion I now have so at least I know that I can use the spare body for a custom figure.

Make sure and post pics if you get something made.

I should probably know this but is TTM 21 (22 being very slim looking) the correct body for T-1000? Narrow shoulders?

You might want to take a muscular body, but for a proper T-1000 look, you might be surprised and might be better going with the TTM22. He was pretty slender back in the day(And in a strange co-incidence... 22 years ago... Where did all that time go to?):

Thanks Username. I would really need a body of the size that the clothes were tailored to though. D'you reckon that the TTM22 would fit the bill? I've never seen one in person. I thought that was the slimmest body HT have made but the original T-1000 body was more mid-sized.

Did you snag that T-1000 clothing set?
I was looking at that, then it was sold...
The *only* problem you'd have with a slimmer body is that you might need to invest in a HT undersuit. Even just the vest. But a slimmer body usually means better articulation.
If you need a tiny bit of bulk, you can even go with tape on kitchen roll. I have an Avengers Cap i built from parts i snagged on Ebay cheaply, and he is just on a bootleg HT $20 body, with a bit of bulk added with kitchen roll...

A-dev, if you want the correct body for the T-1000 you really need a narrow shoulder, none of the last batch of true-types would be correct, the last produced truetype narrow shoulder is the ttm18, its getting pricey now but if your ok with knock-offs theres a lot of clones that will match the build for way less.

No. I did buy a few bits yesterday on ebay but I didn't buy any one 'set', I already had most of what I need. Damn, the prices I've been paying for these parts though. For some reason it really struck me last night, that I could buy real 1:1 clothes for myself for the prices I'm paying for 1:6 ones.

Thanks Skull, I'll look into the TTM18. I need 2 and I'd rather be sure its the right one.

Ahhh. there was a guy on the 1/6 UK trading group yesterday who sold a full set of T-1000 clothing.
Thought maybe you were the buyer.

Hmmm. That listing calls it a 'wide' shoulder though...

Here's a HT promo image and a pic of that bootleg.
I only posted the link because it looked the right size to me.
I could be wrong:

HT True Type 21 Regular

Are they producing any more True Type 21 Regular bodies? I'm looking for some for retail, SSC says it is sold out. Will they be getting more in the future do you think?

Re: HT True Type 21 Regular

6 months to a year or so.

 

[dw316]

Re: HT True Type 21 Regular

Cool. So they're not scrapping those bodies for a newer one then.

 

[lerath666]

Re: HT True Type 21 Regular

Not for a while at least.

Check the OSW for discussion(s) & review(s) on this "clone".

Re: HT True Type 21 Regular

Those are nice, but they aren't like the TTM-21 bodies.

They're not, but . . .

1. They're cheaper.

2. They're more readily available than a TTM 21.

3. They may not be 100% perfect like a TTM 21, but they're negligible. I'd say 85% to 90%.

4. They have some faults, but the faults can be remedied with a little minor work.

I own a couple of myself and pleasantly surprised & pleased with them.
