New Cult Classics Series Features First-Ever T-1000!
Of all the cops in the world, he’s probably the one you want to run into at the mall the least. So imagine how it must have been for young John Connor when the liquid mercury-based T-1000 started chasing him down in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Good thing he had Schwarzenegger on his side.
Our new Cult Classics: Terminator 2 series 3 boasts four figures total: two of Arnold in perhaps his most classic role as the protector T-800 and two of the villainous and more advanced T-1000 (played in the movie by Robert Patrick). Here’s the rundown by the numbers:
T-800 Battle Across Time
This brand new version of the T-800 comes courtesy of the popular T2-3D movie attraction at Universal Studios theme parks. This figure is fully poseable and comes with a shotgun and plasma rifle. Articulation includes ball-jointed neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, and swivel waist.
T-800 Steel Mill
It’s the last scene of the movie and everyone’s a little worse for the wear. This T-800 has been back and forth fighting the T-1000 all day, and by the time they get to the Steel Mill, it shows. Gonna need some more skin there, buddy. Figure comes with a pistol and grenade launcher, and articulation including a ball-jointed neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, and swivel waist.
T-1000 Galleria
Have we mentioned this is the first time the T-1000 has appeared in a series? Well, here he is as he first appears in his police uniform pursuing John Connor in the shopping mall. He boasts a whopping five interchangeable hands and a pistol. Also the heads, hands, and forearms can be interchanged between this figure and the battle damaged Pescadero version to create your own unique T-1000.
T-1000 Pescadero
This battle damaged T-1000 shows the damage he endures when he first meets up with the T-800 in the Pescadero Hospital. The highly detailed figure features bullet wounds, hook arms, and two different heads, an exploded head after taking a shotgun blast, and a split head as he forms back together. Also the heads, hands, and forearms can be interchanged between this figure and the less blown-to-bits Galleria T-1000 to create your own unique version.
Cult Classics: Terminator 2 series 3 is available for preorders now. They’ll be hitting shelves in May and of course will be featured on our Amazon storefront.
I wasn’t sure with the timing of Sideshow’s release of press pics of the Hot Toys Terminator 2 Sarah Connor from and Hot Toys saying they’d be showing pics of a “newly polished” head sculpt for her whether we’d be covering the same ground again. Well, I needn’t have thought too hard about it. Hot Toys released three new pictures with closeups of the revamped Sarah Connor head. Looks much better to me.
Sarah Connor is unveiled!
Amid the applause on the Saran Connor collectible after teaser announcement, she is going to be unveiled now in high anticipation!
Taking off her sunglasses, the highly detailed head sculpt is revealed. The greatest partners Yulli and JC have specially polished it so as to showcase a more real-like version to fans now! Frowned, tight-lipped, together with the expression seen from her eyes, she is in the mood to spend her life to protect her son!
What’s worth mentioning is the newly developed rubber arm which is specially sculpted with distinct lines and enhanced muscularity, reinforcing her fierceness and heroine image.
What’s more, the detailed hair sculpture with fringes and middle part of hair attached with ponytail. Two fringes are available at your choice for matching with the cap. Full military gear is also equipped with weapons and accessories.
The 1/6th scale Sarah Connor collectible figure from the Terminator 2: Judgment Day movie is available for pre-order now!
While I didn’t speak to anyone at the NECA booth (everyone looked very busy), I did take some pictures of their action figures in HeroClix, Player Select video games, and movie license categories, excluding Harry Potter and Twilight. Sorry, fans of those two franchises – I couldn’t bring myself to do it. 😀
A few astute folks guessed Sarah Connor when Hot Toys teased an upcoming female heroine on their Facebook page. This should be a fine companion piece to the T-800 Ahhhnold that they recently announced. I’m curious how the arm articulation will work on a character with smaller limbs.
Long awaiting a heroine figurine?
The 1/6th scale Sarah Connor collectible figure from the Terminator 2: Judgment Day movie is coming forcefully in her military gear to protect her son soon!
Preview is available now! Stay tuned with us for update next week!
