Hot Toys - MMS125 Terminator 2: Judgment Day: 1/6 Scale T-1000 as Sarah Connor

Really? I always figured it was just Dyson's coat?

Yeah I read that somewhere. Maybe Terminator wiki?

I don't know if it's true though.

Rumour is the coat Sarah wears at cyberdyne is Kyle's Reese second coat from T1.

You mean the one Linda wears in the movie is a spare prop from T1 or that in the story it's Kyle's? His trench at the end of T1 was navy blue, almost black, it's not Kyle's.

It's Dyson's coat. They came from his residence and she didn't have it when she was trying to kill him.

Has anyone had any trouble with the rubber arms yet? Mine has started tearing at the elbows!! I wonder if hot toys would replace them or could I replace with regular arms????

How had you them posed?

No. Nothing wrong with mine.

Could you post some photos?

 

[cplhicks]

I had mine bent 90 degrees up until a month or two ago and there is nothing wrong with my figure.

I haven't had any tearing issues yet. I think the climate in Ireland may favour it not happening, at least not this soon.

 

[Butters]

Isn't climate in Ireland fairly cold all year round?

If that's the case, you would think the rubber would be more likely to tear.

 

[a-dev]

I thought excess heat was the bigger danger, maybe I'm wrong. Summers in Ireland range from pleasantly warm to sometimes being a bit too hot for my liking. Damn cold in the winter alright but the heating in the house probably keeps things even.

 

[Butters]

The molecular structure of the rubber would become stiffer with cold temperatures, and more supple with heat.

Constant low temperature, humidity, and an absence of UV light exposure are the keys to keeping rubber safe for the long term.

The QC control on Sarah's arms are bad... I've 6 Sarah Connor bodies only 3 (of 12) arms are properly cast. The rest are risky to poke through the skin at the elbows.

On Abigail bodies, I've around 6 as well, all are fine (Same SC's arms except for the Shoulder joint)

So on Sarah Connor it's more a luck of draw on the possibility of arms tearing at the elbows. The internal frame being shallower, it'll poke/tear through the skin easier.

Direct compatible arms are from Cha-cha Asai and the new TTFs... Black Widow/Jill BSAA/Jill BS....

I suspect Alice/Babydoll/Amber/Seako Nogami are compatible as well.

Ahem... self-proclaimed HT female figures specialist.

Interesting. Got any photos of this?

Wrong again Butters.

Rubber Deterioration

Two processes are of special importance in the preservation of rubber: oxidation, a chemical deterioration, and crystallization, a molecular restructuring that causes the material to loose its elasticity. Modern rubber, such as that found in NASM spacesuits, is highly susceptible to oxidation, and will slowly crystallize at room temperature.

Rubber can be preserved against oxidation by cold storage but only at the cost of consideraly accelerating crystallization. However, it was found that such low temperature crystallization is reversible through heating, and that crystallization occurring at sufficiently low temperatures will be completely reversed by returning the object to room temperature. This was found also to be valid for rubber that has already undergone appreciable chemical change through oxidation. Hence, cold storage provides an effective long-term preservation strategy for rubber.

Hence, Butters is right.

No, Butters contradicted himself.

No, Butters contradicted himself.

Low temperature will cause rubber (though there are many other rubbery material) to be more brittle (less stretchy)... however low temperature can also maintain the chemical stability, hence the rubber last longer (if you don't stretched it).

However unless you are in Arctic at constantly below freezing point, this is unlikely the cause (causing the rubber to be brittle).

Constantly stretching "thin" (due to improper setting of the internal frame before casting) rubbery material at the elbow point will cause it to fail/tear.

Actual basic science.... especially if you can play with liquid nitrogen or even solid dry ice, carbon dioxide.

I'm not wrong. Your link doesn't work... Oxidization is also a factor, but we aren't discussing the experimental elastomeric components that the Apollo suits contained. Those materials are in a a league of their own.
