Give me some slack for monaing, but im a big fan and im disappointed with toy fair as far as Terminator is concerned. I wanna see some more new exciting Terminator stuff, T-1000 PF ect. What the hell's going on? Im I the only Terminator fan annoyed out there or what? Where are all the new Terminator stuff? are there any? or am i being impatience? All i seen is old stuff, or stuff that’s old news now like the 1/4 scale Endo, the Hunter killer, and a new bust from SS. The only new thing i have heard of is a half a scale endo hand, which makes me think why they even bother with half scale? Where’s the good stuff? Dimmitt!!!

I feel your pain. I've watched the Bond line become a kitbashed wasteland for several years now. I won't even go into the POTA demise.
It's very hard when a company fails a line so spectacularly. I understand there are mitigating factors (like sales) but it's still tough on the collector that enjoys a particular product.

I think Hot Toys may be our savior here...
We got the Endo! Who knows that they'll try next?
Maybe a liquid metal version of the T-1000! How cool would that be?

Made out of real liquid Metal! The exclusive could be a thermomator to store him in!

I have a feeling that we'll get a couple of more things out of the Terminator line that were probably already in the works but I think this line surprisingly is already on its last legs. I'm sure whatever is in the pipeline was being reserved for announcement around SDCC so they have a showing of something this year and let's not forget that the Terminator stuff was previewed at last TF and isn't shipping until right before the next one...something tells me if they have more complex pieces in mind like BD versions those are really moving along sluggishly...

This reminds me, has anyone seen the Sarah Conner Figure at Toyfair? I haven't seen any pictures of it there.

They had room for the dreaded bobbleheads but no T-800, T-1000 or Sarah.
That is very strange indeed.

I agree 100%. This is the BEST new license from Sideshow and the figures are stunning after an agonizing 1 year wait and it seems as though it's been put out to pasteure. I'd give my left nut for some more T2 figures. Battle-Damaged T-800 and T-1000 and John Connor (kid and adult) and another Sarah with long-hair. Hot Toys delivered us the Endo but this line is far from over. We need a second series. One more round, please.

I don't know, what do you think...maybe one or two more figures at SDCC and that's the end of it.
I agree that SS probably had more in the pipeline for this line, until sales came along and... well, what can you do?
Still, it is quite possible that SDCC will see a BD T-800 and possibly a biker cop T-1000. Variations on figures they already have. But after that I would say its over folks. I can't imagine it makes financial sense to make John Connor or a psycho-Sarah. At least not for SS.
Hot Toys may acquire the license though, with a hand-off from SS, since they're already doing T1...

Personally, I love the 1:2 scale Endoarm. Only $130!!!! I've never hit a "Purchase" button so fast in my life!!!
Hopefully, we'll see a 1:2 scale Endoskeleton skull and a full scale smashed CPU with glass tube!!!

Well if the figures would have come out 6 months later like they were supposed to, then there would not have been so many cancelled for Star Whores.

Yeah, it really doesn't seem like Sideshow did real well with this line. The figures are actually really amazing... but I was able to jump on the waitlist for the T-1000 like a week or so after people were getting them and got converted in 3 days! And with only 750 exc produced that doesn't bode well for the health of the line.

I hate hot toys and the 12" dolls of the T-800 & T-1000 they just seem like girls doll's. Also hate the bubble heads. I wanna see more Statues, like the Legend Bust, and like every thing else with the up comming T-800 figure of arnie by SS. Yeah a cpu chip in glass case, T-1000 Statue, etc etc
