Playmates Terminator Salvation Figures (Pictures)

[Deckard]

Hey guys, I got some of the 3 3/4" scale figures today, here are some pictures for you. The biggest complaint is that the T-RIPs and 700s which are the same thing with differant paint, can't move there heads at all. No swivel. The articulation is pretty poor, I'll still get a few more of the RIPS, in silver, but there a bit of a let down. The 600 is cool though. I suspect the other humans in this line will have better articulation like the 600. The RIP and 700 are scaled down from the 6" versions, which have light up eyes, and that explains the lack of head articulation.

The 6" figures are not due out until May but I got one of the 600s on ebay and should have it later today, I'll update this first post with pics of him when he arrives. Feel free to ask any questions, I have Deadpool in there so you can see how these will stack up to your Marvel heros and GI Joes.

TWISTIE TIES! NOOOOOOOOO!

I just got my 6" T-600 and it is a vast improvement over the smaller counterpart. I will add these pictures to Pg.1 as well.

They have the system the hasbro Jawas used to make there eyes light up, so if hes under a light it looks especially good. Not as much articulation as a Marvel Legends sort of figure but enough. Also includes a 2nd head so you can pick which one you like, I prefer the skin hanging off of him. I'll have to pick up a T-RIP and T-1 and see how they stack up.

I saw these the other day at target. What's up with that John Connor figure? did Playmates not get Bale's likeness?

Argh, those look like what they are: kid toys.

I dont know, the 6" figure doesnt have his likeness either, and they even spelled his name wrong, Conner, instead of Connor.

so that's what T-RIP stood for.

i have the same 3.75" figures and i can't tell if the t-600 is too big or if the t-rip and t-700 are too small.
are the t-600s really like 9ft in the movie?

I think its a little of both, but really the 600 just seems a tad too tall.

No 6" in the mail today...

The 6" figures are not due out until May

Actually, the 6 inch figures arrived in stores at the same time as the 3.75 inch. I grabbed the T-1 at K-Mart the other day for $10.

These were posted in another thread, but I'll repost here since we now have a dedicated thread:

The center front treads snap on separately and can rotate from side to side as a kind of steering (there are small wheels underneath the three tank treads)

The chain gun barrels are actually the firing projectiles on the tank. They blend in beautifully though!! You can see the trigger button sticking out of the side toward the back.

Guess who this is?? lol

Here's the Hunter Killer. Don't know why it's black when the box shows a silver one. Maybe the "Salvation" HKs are black. I don't think the trailers have given a good well-lit look at them yet.

The wheel in the top center is actually the control to rotate the turbines. Both rotate together, keeping them synchronized.

This is a pretty neat and well-hidden feature: There is a hatch that pulls open on the bottom, and you can insert the T-700 which came with the HK. It's a crappy figure, but I imagine you can put other figures in there as well.

The Elephant Man?

it looks like one of those cheap 2$ knock off GI Joes you get at walmart

That description makes NO sense!!

John knows that Skynet puts the T-RIP (T-800) online because it came back in time twice. John should also know, however, that it was sent back to 1984 because Skynet's defense grid was smashed and the Resistance had won (as told to Sarah by Kyle).

So even if it goes online, John knows the Resistance still wins.

Unless this has something to do with

Spoiler

the T-RIP apparently coming into existence nearly 10 years too soon (2018 instead of 2029), and John knows the Resistance isn't strong enough yet.

Otherwise, it's a plot hole.

so wait, is the t-1 supposed to be to scale with the 3.75" or the 6"?

 

[Deckard]

Wow thats cool, Ill have to check K-mart for the 6" stuff. The T-1 looks bad ass.

How much for the HK?

It's officially part of the 6 inch line.

However, that being said...

Real-life scaling would be accurate if it was placed next to a 3.75 inch figure. Compared to the other 6 inch scale figures, it's grossly under-scaled.

Does that make sense?

TRU has the 6 inch line as well, but K-Mart had the full assortment (TRU didn't have Connor or the T-1).

The HK was $20 at K-Mart and $23 at TRU. Surprisingly, K-Mart was cheaper.

Also, off-topic, K-Mart is also the only store I've seen the new Star Trek Transporter playset and role-player Phaser as well so far.
