    Default Terminator Thread

    Well, it's been 25 years since audiences first saw James Cameron's Masterpiece. There's a new line based on T2 from Neca coming out this year. And of course, this week Terminator Salvation opens in Australia.

    So, it's fitting we should have a Terminator thread too for figures, movies, dvds, and not to mention general chit chat for people who (like me) love all things Terminator.

    I saw the first wave of TS figures at Kmart today (both 6" and 3.75"). The T-RIP looks pretty good, as did the Hunter Killer.

    I saw some Terminator stores in a Toy Kingdom store in VIC at the start of May.

    From what I've seen in the US stores, it looks like either John Connor toys are short packed or highly in demand.

    Does the movie start this Thursday? I want to hear other's thoughts on it.

    I dont think meh even comes close. the endo's have the most screwed up jaws and most of the john connor figures have his face covered.

    I've got a complete collection of Kenner T2 Figures and the blow the burrent ones away. atleast kenner got some sort of likeness.

    Evidently Hot Toys (see below) were the only company allowed to produce christian bales likeness which may explain much of the crappy Connor toys

    Yeah I even considered getting some and going over them with some some gunmetal and chrome paint but I just couldn't envisage enough of an improvement.

    Yeah, the endos look a little basic compared to the ones Neca and McFarlane produced a few years ago (not to mention the new T2 endo coming out in June), but I may grab the T-RIP if I get any at all.
