It costs $61 domestically (¥8300)
Another review I just found - I think it looks pretty damn good here. More impressed by the face sculpts now than I was previously.
I'm wondering if his body is a bit 'long' though. I'm not used to seeing so much of his crotch/ass below the jacket. With the NECA and Hot Toys the jacket hides more of this region, even just a little. Must check the film.

Seems about right.
Buy it directly from Japan and with DHL postage you can probably get it for about $80 and you'll get it much sooner.

Hmmm. Well, anyway I'm not fully committed to that nitpick.
Overall pretty happy about what I saw in that latest video.

Turned out not bad at all plus it's always nice too see more T1 stuff over the ubiquitous T2.
For one thing I think the jacket that Mafex is doing with this is the one for T2 JD and not this one which is slightly different and another IMO Arnold was a bit heavier in the original film and he slimmed a little by T2

I think they’re doing the T2 Jacket on the T2 figure.
The cords on the sides are tied differently and belt is a different design.

Loving the likeness in these shots, although concerned about variation in quality control - paint errors and possibly something going on with the Gargoyles.
Arrived at BBTS. Man my card is getting hammered this past month.
It looks okay, but I'm gonna wait for the T2 figures and that epic Robo coming.
I'm waiting for the Endoskelton, but might get the T2 Arnie figure. The T1 has me confident that the T2 one will be ace, and T2 was always my Terminator movie as I was 12 when it came out.

Same here....I was 13 years old in the summer of '91.
I don't think kids today can appreciate the kind of hype we used to have for movies back then. We'd get ONE movie like that a year, as opposed to 2 or 3 "event" movies every quarter like they have now. T2 was the biggest, baddest movie on the planet, and it lived up to the hype.
If I wasn't destitute right now, I'd preorder all of MAFEX's T2 figures, but if I could only get one, it'd be the regular T-800 with all those weapons. I hope I can afford it when it comes out. Just a shame it won't have the battle-damaged face included. Realllly want the endo-skeleton as well.

Don't know why it took me so many months to respond to this, but the solicit pics clearly show the front and back:
I love how messed up he got. I feel like an official new sixth scale T-800 is going to be announced soon.
Really liking the Gargoyles headsculpt now. Neck looks good too.
Unfortunately he looks undersized next to Robocop in this guy's comparison.
I'm not sure about him being undersized. Peter Weller is 6' and Arnie is 6'2", and Peter wearing the Robocop suit would add 1-2 inches to his height, as well as adding some bulk, so to me it seems fine.
Of course, characters can have official heights that don't align with the height of the actors that play them.
Why do you think he is undersized in comparison? (genuinely curious)
I thought Peter Weller was shorter than that. But even setting aside height if you look at the skin portion of Robocop's head it looks pretty big compared to the Arnie figure, no?
