Hot Toys - MMS136 - The Terminator: 1/6th scale T800 Collectible Figure (T1)

[CyberVillain]

Meh. I have no need for 'sexy figures' in my collection. Just badass ones.

Loken was the only thing that was badass in T3.

She comes to my gym. She's sexier in real life. Too bad she's a lesbian though.

You lucky bugger! She was the only good thing about T3 imo.
The only part I like about T3 is when she arrives naked lol...seriously! I lose interest after that.

She comes to my gym. She's sexier in real life. And the best part is that she's a lesbian.

Corrected

So give her the plasma-spewing robot arm like she had multiple times throughout the movie

 

[DinoLast]

I have a TS John Connor only because it was in a sale, but to be honest I have no need for anything that is not T1 or T2

I don't think any of you guys would be able to turn down a half-endoskeletonised Arnie from T3 done by Hot Toys no matter how crap you think the film is. It would be a truly magical figure in every way.

I hope Hot Toys make Pugley the lizard.

T3 was on tv yesterday and after seeing it again that would make a pretty badass figure. Too bad that movie sucked that bad though

Where are people getting the idea that T1 is "impossible to acquire". I don't think there's ever been reason to think it impossible. The hold up has been, and unless something's changed with the license, is the likeness rights. T1 as a license is easy to get, HT already did it years ago, but without the extra costs and effort to get likeness approvals, you get stuff like hamburger face.

How many companies Have made T1 products until just recently? None that im aware of. And now we finally have Hot toys, Neca, and sideshow stepping up to the plate. I said it was impossible because whats the point in obtaining a license if you cant use the actors likeness?? It seems absolutely pointless IMO. Until now.

- Hot toys earlier T1 figures sucked.

Well the likeness rights are exactly why the market's full of T2 products and not T2, because there is no point in making products without that. I don't know if the changing of posession with the film rights has had any impact on the likeness siutation, if the new film license owners could have pursued likeness rights themselves and now the T1 license covers though through that or if these companies are independently seeking those rights outside of the film license. I don't know what the situation is that's leading to 3 companies pursuing rights to make authentic, licensed product from T1, but as fans we're lucky to see it happening.

I wouldn't buy it but I will admit that that was one of my favorite things about T3. The battle damage sustained from that helicopter is great even though it's just CGI. I loved how extreme it was.

I would.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

I would.

Same here.

Wouldn't be tempted in the slightest.

I wonder if Pacificor have changed the situation?
I have tried to find out who owns what, but to no avail. I know that studio Canal are credited by Hot Toys, but maybe Pacificor have final say so?

BD T-850 has bare endo left foot, which is very laughable to me.

Im a huge fan of the 1966 TV Batmobile.I ve been visiting the site dedicated to it for 10 years now,it was one of the first sites i visited.And for the best part of 6 years the communites wanting models were all told the same thing,ad infinitum-rights are all tied up,no-ones budging,you ll never see models in your lifetime.

Fast-forward 4 years,things are very different.Mattel seemed to chuck wheelbarrows of cash in lawyers fees at the problem,and not surprisingly it went away.Now im tripping over '66 Batmobiles at Modelzone,the shelves are lined with repops of the Aurora original,a $500+ impossible dream a few years back,theres an exquisitely detailed 1/25 kit out next year,and for $250K you can even own a fully licenced,detailed 1/1 replica.

Things change-and very often for the better!!

Someone said all the Terminator films were owned by different groups but I noticed Studio Canal is also credited on the T-1000 images.

My favorite new word I'll just have to be very creative in slipping it in to conversation

I will be honest and make no apology, I will buy anything Terminator that Hot Toys make. But there are figures from Salvation I would want before T3.
