1/6 Hot Toys-The Terminator (T1)-MMS 238-T-800-(Battle Damaged Version) 1/6 Scale Figure

[Bo Shrek]

How much was it being sold retail, when it first came out?

I bought mine for $300. Most expensive figure I purchased. Took me some time to get over dropping three bills on a figure. Today when I watch T1 BD reviews and they show DX13 I'm like Damn!!! I'm happy I own him

Dang, three hundred?

These figures are expensive, but honestly I think it's better quality than anything out there right now.

You pay for what you get, high quality.

Honestly, that's why I love the Free Market and Capitalism: It's because of capital gains and profit that companies continue to get better and better and better.

I mean just compare the early toys that Hot Toys released, like the original Police Station to today.

It's like night and day.

It was $305 MSRP, so Bo Shrek did a sawbuck better. You can see how much it's been selling for on eBay at this Web site: https://www.collectht.com/guide/p/DX--Deluxe--Series/1435/DX13---T-800--Battle-Damaged-/

It's currently valued at $320, expect to pay more for a mint figure.

 

[Positron]

I paid $325 exclusive version with free shipping when it first came out. But I sold the exclusive T-1000 head for $50 so it reduced the overall price.

Well said, now please explain this to our government and let the free market drive medical innovation.

Back on topic, DX13 is the one that finally pushed me over to Hot toys. I've been watching every release since day one and this one was it for me.

Maybe a second BD head, the other coat he wears in the latter stage of the film and I think he has a bandaged hand/arm too....

Yeah thinking about it, 2 sculpts would be cool, maybe one neutral sculpt for pre Tech-Noir then one post PS shootout, maybe a grimacing sculpt for when he is battling Arnie?

Just thought of another accessory...

The body bag, hmm maybe not actually.

How about a two pack which includes future Kyle from the flashback (or would they be flashforward) scenes.

There is plenty of stuff they can add to a Reese figure.

Then you have the extras

Pipe bombs
Lighter
Metal pole
Bandaged hand(s)

a-deved out extras

Med kit

I just don't think theres a big enough fanbase or market demand there to make a reese figure. That's probably the way ht are looking at it. Lets face it He does look pretty average as a character and bar the wants of die hard terminator fans I can't imagine it would be high on the list of priorities for ht. We're more then likely to get a hicks 2.0 long before we see a reese figure(If ever).

 

[Space Jockey]

If we do get a new Cpl Hicks figure, I'd be surprised if we didn't get a new Reese figure and vice versa. The Nike shoes may be a problem as they'd have to get permission from Nike as the 'swoosh' symbol is no doubt copyrighted; I don't know the full story but as NECA have in the last year or two released both Reese and Hicks looking more like Michael Biehn, one may assume that he is at least open to his likeness being used.

 

[DiFabio]

Considering Hot Toys didn't put the Nike swoosh logo on the DX 09 Batman boots or Marty McFly's shoes, I doubt they'd do it for Reese.

465 pages, I would read through them all to try and find some idea of when this will become available but that would take me a day!

So, any idea when this WILL be available?

The figure has already been released in Chine/Hong Kong. It will probably land in the States early October.

 

[Gage]

I'll prolly get Kyle but I prefer a proper T-800 DC Endo.

Thanks for that, loontentoys says the figure has not yet been released which has me confused.

Also this: https://www.collectablekitbash.co.uk/Hot-Toys-MMS238-p/htmms238-01.htm just confuses me further (Feb 2015).

 

[The Skull]

Loving the new head, I need a better camera so I can truly capture all the detail, phone pics aren't cutting it for me these days.

It depends on where you live. Also, it sounds like loontentoys has yet to receive its shipment.

Very cool pics, Skull!

I can see HT revisiting some of its older figures in the coming years, like Reese and the Colonial Marines, simply as a point of pride, rather than just straight sales.

Can you imagine a control freak like Cameron directing a love scene? Remember Titanic and the hand against the fogged-up window? The end product of 2,142 takes.
