Hot Toys - MMS 117 Terminator 2 Model T-800 spec + hi-res pics

[The Skull]

I know of a couple of retailers that still have them in stock but not cheap buy any means, they are right in line with ebay prices. They are also US retailers. As far as this working as a dutch head it could work, but the hair on the t-2 t-800 is higher than it was in predator. You could always check the for sale section of this fine forum as well as they have poped up on there often

You can get recasted T2 heads fairly cheap. Type in arnold custom on ebay.

I refuse to buy recasts, but my idea was that if I got a T2 T800 that I would cast myself (not for sale) and grind down the hair a little. Strange moral compass I know. - I am just unsure of the T2 head, IMO with the glasses on its 100% Arnold but without its lacking a bit.

I have pretty much given up on getting a HT Dutch head as the ebay price is £60 and the idea was to try to wait and hope for the new 1/6 Dutch to be parted out for me. I find it incredibly hard to search for items on here and to read every post is ....heart braking. I end up going of course and wanting something else.I have a head on him for now but its way out of scale (small).

Back to Terminator - First time in like 18 years I had getting him on my mind all night. There where two of me fighting over the pros and cons of getting a wanted figure but getting into more out of control debt.
I woke up before a resolution was made.

Also, IF I was to get him I would want him decked out for cyberdyne. I have no idea on equipment or 1/6 brands when it comes to ..anything. I buy boxed figures majority of the time.

From what I can gather from previous posts and pictures I will need - Gatling gun with ammo belt, some sort of black duffel bag, grenade bandoleer and a grenade launcher ?.

Do any particular brands offer more screen accurate items or is the cheapest good enough ?.

Trying to get all the little things in mind before getting (or not).

going to be looking at atleast over £300 . Wish buying overseas was safer and didn't incur more fees.

Coo Models made a mini-gun, grenade launcher, and duffel bag (called Assassin Weapon Set).

I bought all three items here:

Unfortunately, they're sold out of the M79 grenade launcher. That set includes the grenade bandolier.

 

[monkeybat]

Keep an eye on ebay, I got a Dutch head a few months back for £25 free post and a plastic t2 arnold copy was £25 and very good it was too. Have not found anymore t2 heads but loads of recasts.

 

[chupanegro]

Does anyone know of any UK/Euro online stores that have him still ?. I am guessing that he is very much a collectable now though. (ignore, I have no chance).

Goddamn cloud warrior, as a fellow collector your freakin mission to own this figure touched me deeply, i wish you nothing but success in owning him, tell you what , if in 3 months youre still trying to find him to no success, PM me .

 

[Cloud Warrior]

Thanks for the informative reply's.

Coo Models looks good, shame about the grenade launcher. think IF I do get, I would have to go budget as its already more than I should be spending. Just the M79 and belt seem hard to get right.

Dutch head, all my time wanting it I've had no luck. I got my "custom" PVC copy (before I knew about them) but its way undersized for him. I still look out for one in the hope. tempted still that IF I get T2 to cast and sand hair down, just not sure about the expression.

hehe thanks chupanegro. Despite still trying to decide on getting him I am full speed ahead planning for him. I'm just so cheap and I always wait for "the cheaper deal" but end up missing them and paying more.

Some feebay HK sellers have him at just under £300 with best offers but I am so cautious now after being sold the a Wolvie and growing reports of fraud.
When I feel a little more with it (man flu) I plan to give the USA sites a good look and try to weigh converted price plus UK fees.

 

[Cloud Warrior]

O and chupanegro, love the policy. Just how I stand. £2000 and growing in debt and only able to make minimum payments at times and I still order more and more. I will win the game.......

 

[monkeybat]

Cloud warrior if your any good at modeling-fixing stuff I have a grenade launcher and belt for cheap.

I don't happen to have comparison pics conveniently to hand although I know Maulfan posted some good ones. I will search this thread as I am bored at work.

If you could have stickys within a thread then the stickys for this thread in particular would have to be about:

-paperclip mod
-Harley Davidson options
-Cyberdyne gear options

Stickys in the classic Predator thread would be:

-differences between Classic and Kevin Peter Hall 1987 Predator
-options for conversion from Classic to 1987 pred

I knew you'd come through! Thanks, much appreciated!

Now I'm off to find some clothes for my T1 bash.

I just went back and actually watched the youtube link for the batsignal and when Keaton looks up and see's he's been called I imagined your avatar in the place of his face! I don't know what you look like so it has to be your avy.

I saw myself as Keaton, just sitting there in contemplation till called, rising up *dramatic low angle camera view*, serious facial expression

I think Difabio gave me this avatar and Blade3327 gave me the sig if memory serves. I've had them so long I don't think I can change them, it'll throw people off. Sorta like Buttmunch - he will forever be Harvey Dent from TDK.

I wouldn't call myself good but I am more than willing. Send me a PM with any details needed and we can talk.

A-dev, its to true that many questions come up multiple times. A thread title sticky would help so much. I hope I can be excused for asking about gear (I would love a fatboy now) as reading the entire thread would be tiring.
Luckily I am all in the know on predator stuff and I am not going to convert my classic once I get him.

I am set on it now. I NEED this figure and I WILL get him. Just a case of the best deal poking up on feebay or a UK seller on here. So tempted to get from a HK seller and try for a lower best offer, but the idea of fees still scare me.

For the UK isn't the total fees to expect with everything like 20% of item price ?.

Of course, anyone can be excused from asking about these things. Its a huge thread at this point and not everyone keeps up with every thread each day.

Stickys within a thread is something I just thought of yesterday. I wonder would it be possible.

 

[Cloud Warrior]

I belong to a few forums with coding like this and none of them use it so many not be possible.

Even a sticky of really FAQ's at the top of each area would be nice. Just to have a breakdown of the most popular questions. I would be happy to read through a topic with answered questions on terminators, predators, aliens etc.

IE - Once a topic gets X of 1 question asked we can ask a mod to add it to the FAQ.

Still hunting for him. I want him here and now, then to get all the extra toys then look at making a custom base.
