Hot Toys is Back with the Battle-Damaged T-800 from The Terminator

Hot Toys Terminator T-800 (Battle-Damaged) 01

When Ahhnold uttered “I’ll be back” in the 1984 classic Terminator, you could tell it was destined to be his catchphrase for almost every movie he’s been in since – but I bet you never saw it coming that 30 years later, he’d be back as an action figure that you could use to recreate that scene, and most of the carnage that follows. Well, maybe you did.

I’ve lost count on how many different versions Hot Toys has released of Schwarzenegger as the Terminator, but I think it’s at least equal to the number of times he’s appeared as the Terminator on the big screen. This is at least the second from the original movie – the earlier Hot Toys T-800 has him in his disco garb from the start of the movie. If you’re only going to have one of them, I think this is the more definitive version, establishing the leather jacket and sunglasses as mainstays for the rest of the films.

You can pre-order the Hot Toys Terminator T-800 battle damaged version from Sideshow Collectibles for $229. Continue reading “Hot Toys is Back with the Battle-Damaged T-800 from The Terminator”

Masters of the Universe Classics Modulok Headlines February Sale; Mattel Epic Creations for Valentines Day?

MattyCollector Valentines Day Ad - Epic Creations

With just one brand to drive MattyCollector, it’ll be a hit or miss affair each month for casual Masters fans. With the Masters of the Universe Classics Modulok on the docket, it should prove to be a popular month, even if the $44 price tag will discourage some. Princess of Power’s Glimmer, and the mini He-Man and Mer-Man 2-pack round out the new offerings.

In what will be a monthly reminder for sad DC Universe Classics collectors, Mattel continues to unload the remaining customer service stock. This month it’s Larfleeze and Phantom Stranger. And, Epic Creations remain in stock – Castle Grayskull, the Neutrino Wand, and the Batman Utility Belt don’t seem to be in any danger of sellout, despite the claims of limited availability back in December.

The Mattycollector February sale Early Access starts tomorrow at 8AM, and here’s the link for the February bundle page for the all-access sale opening Monday at 9AM. Sadly, Modulok and Glimmer are not available in Early Access.

Bandai Announces S.H. MonsterArts Alien Big Chap

When I saw the S.H. MonsterArts Aliens vs. Predators figures at NYCC, I was hoping Bandai had more of those movie franchises licensed. And they do! They’ve revealed the one that started it all, the Big Chap from Alien. Super-articulated (the tail has 18 individual segments) and using some die-cast, this should be some real hand candy for Aliens fans.

Due out this summer in June, the MSRP is $53.99. In space, no one can hear you scream.

Hot Toys Announces Iron Man 2: Whiplash Mark II

Hot Toys Iron Man 2 Whiplash Mk II 01

With the Winter Olympics starting this weekend, this serves as a good warning about what happens when you deny a tech-savvy Russian his bird. Luckily, Hot Toys is here with a reminder – the Whiplash Mk II from Iron Man 2. The original Hot Toys Whiplash, from his first appearance at the race track, came out way back in 2010.

Whiplash Mk II is part of the Hot Toys Diecast line, so expect it to be a little more expensive than your standard Hot Toys figure. It will still come with all the things you expect, like multiple heads, light up whips, and more. You can pre-order the Hot Toys Whiplash Mk II from Sideshow Collectibles for $399.99 and a deposit of $39.99.
