Ok, as if we didn’t see this coming, but Hot Toys has announced T2 – Sarah Connor. It does look like her, but I’ll most probably not get this. Purely cause I’ll be saving my moola for the different versions of Arnie! Bring on battle damages T2 Arnie!
Hot Toys has done it again! Welcoming the new year with the official announcement of the T2 T800 figure. It’s Arnold Schwarzenegger at his Terminator best! The head sculpt looks wonderful and with so much detail. Just looking at the pic above you can see the skin tone and shading. Amazing stuff!
Okie, so I’m very sure that Hot Toys will eventually announce a ‘battle damaged’ T800 sometime down the road, with the flesh on Arnie’s head ripped to shreads showing the endoskeleton. It’s part of ‘milking’ us dry. And I’m a sucker for ‘milking. lol Bring it on Hot Toys!
Latest news just in! Shaun just posted the pic above of the upcoming Hot Toys T2 T-800 figure!! Arnie is certainly looking awesome! The sculpt looks perfect. I hope they give us a battle damaged head sculpt with the figure instead of milking us dry by putting out a battle damaged version a few months later!
There’s nothing better than opening the boxes and taking out your brand new figures for display. The 12 inch Sideshow Star Wars figures I just picked up rock. The finishing and paint jobs are excellent. The bodies are also much better and can actually pose properly.
The EZ Devastator is another figure that impressed me. It’s made up of 7 separate ‘legends’ size figures that can actually transform to robot and vehicle mode. And when combined, looks pretty much like the badass Devastator from the movie. Sweet! Articulation is pretty good too. The legs and hands can bend and pose, though slightly limited, but great for such a figure.
I haven’t taken pics of my Hot-Toys T600 – Rubber Skin version or John Connor as yet. The detail of the endoskeleton is amazing! Here are the pics.
I also got myself some DiD 12 inch cases and displayed Iron Man Mark I & III in them. very nice. Just need to find space to display Mark II.
Thanks to Eddie’s updates from the International Tokyo Toy Show 2009, there’s so much more to look forward from Hot Toys in the coming months.
Firstly, there’s the new Marvel licence that Hot Toys have gained.
Apparently it’s licences from the Marvel movies that have come out. Meaning 12′ inch figures from the X-Men trilogy, Spiderman Trilogy and more! Imagine Spidy and Venom figures! oooooo I can’t wait to see what they come up with. The latest Wolverine figure already looks great, though I’m resisting temptation to get it. heh
Another great licence is the Matrix! Yups, finally we may get to see Neo in 12′ inch goodness. Will have to see the pics before deciding. 
What was unexpected to me was figures from Pixar’s UP. They look really good. I’m so looking forward to the movie and these figures are just adding to the temptation.
Hot Toys just keep coming up with the goodz. And while I’m not sure if I’ll get any of the upcoming figures, I’ve already confirmed my orders for the Terminator 4 figures. Those will keep me bankrupt and busy for the rest of the year!
Do check out the rest of Eddie’s updates, with more pics and writeups there. Good stuff!
Hot Toys have done it again and come up with the Weathered Rubber Skin Version of the T600. I already have the T600 Endoskeleton on pre-order, but this new T600 looks awesome. And being a fan of the Terminator movies, how can I resist not getting this! Hot Toys sure knows how to get suckers like me roped in!
It’s been sometime since I got around to take pics of my toy collection. So I thought I’ll just take a few pics. Apologies if they aren’t the best quality, but hey, I’m lazy and can’t really be bothered. And at least I do open up my figures to display them!! I can’t understand collectors who buy figures just to store them in boxes! I mean if you truely are a fan, then damm well open the box, display and play with the figures! Who cares if the value is lost dammit!. Only if you don’t have enough space to display your stuff, then fine, keep them in the cupboard. That’s what I do, but I slowly rotate new and old stuff out of my already bursting cupboard. Can’t wait to get more display cabinets! lol.
Straight from the OSW Forums, some latest pics of the 1/6 Terminator Salvation figures from the Hot Toys newly renovated shop in Hong Kong. I’m drooling for the movie and the figures! And being the sucker that I am, I’ve already pre-ordered all the figures. Can’t wait to add them to the great Hot Toys T-800 Endoskeleton that came out sometime back.
And some pics of the new packaging below. Hot Toys blew us away with the Iron Man packaging, but the Terminator Salvation packaging looks to do much better!
Hot Toys keep coming up with the most accurate portrayals of movie characters. The latest being Terminator Salvation’s John Connor. I as originally wasn’t going to get this figure, but after seeing the preview pics, I’m sold. The Christian Bale sculpt looks awesome! I can’t wait to fill the cupboard up with the Endoskeletons and this great figure! Wonder if they will do the Marcus Wright figure where he shows his battle damaged Endoskeleton under his flesh like in the trailers. Cause they will most probably sell me too! Woot!
