Meet The TERMINATOR SALVATION Toys!!

Published at:  Apr 13, 2009 7:52:59 PM CDT

SPOILER ALERT !!


Merrick here...


Playmates wanted to give you folks a look a the TERMINATOR SALVATION toys that'll be hitting shelves on April 19. They sent along a ton of media (which we appreciate); much of it is presented here in occasionally embiggenable form.

The toys are broken into serveral categories, 3.75" figures, 6" figures, vehicles, and...what would you call 'em...prosthetics?


Let's start with a glimpse of the 3.75" line, which'll run $6.99 a figure...




3.75" Figure Package Sample





3.75" Figures (Sold Individually - Pictured in Group)











These 6" figures run $9.99 a piece...


6" Figures (Sold Individually - Pictured in Group)



6" Figure Package Sample





John Connor 6"





Marcus 6"





Here's the guy who appears oversized in the 3.75" line up above. I'm told this proportion is correct; you can get a glimpse of this guy in the trailers. Check out this guy's face in the 10" version below. Kinda disturbing for some reason...maybe it's the soullessness...


T-600 6"





T-1 6"





T-R.I.P. (RESISTANCE INFILTRATOR PROTOTYPE) 6"





T-700 6"









The 10" line-up (SRP of $19.99). Sold individually, pictured in group...



Marcus 10"





T-600 10"





T-R.I.P. (RESISTANCE INFILTRATOR PROTOTYPE) 10"








T-700 10"












Marcus Mask and Hand (SRP $12.99)











When Ang Lee's HULK mocvie came out, Harry was all excited aboout the giant foam HULK hands you could wear to 'smash' stuff - so was my 9 year old son. I guess this is the TERMIverse equivalent?


T-600 Power Fist (SRP $24.99)














Endoskeleton Patches (SRP $8.99)











This one's pretty creepy looking. I like it...


T-600 Voice 'N' Vision Skull (SRP $29.99)















Here's an HK. For those of us who can't afford Sideshow's significantly more expensive replica (HERE), perhaps this $19.99 iteration might be an aiight substitute?


HK (HUNTER KILLER)















A-10 Warthog (SRP $19.99)











To find these toys (and more) in your area, go HERE!

    by whodis

    After McFarlane Toys and Gentle Giant's scanning technology, there's no excuse for at least the figures to not look like the actors. These look like they were made in 1988! And the fact that the other 3 Terminator films, especially the first two, had little to ZERO action figures and toys, clearly is a sign of trouble for this movie. Fucking amateur, man.

    And there were a shitload of Alien3 action figures if I remember correctly. So don't give me any fucking shit they dropped the rating to have action figures. They would have had toys regardless.

The 6" Marcus is hiding a boner on his pants. Honestly, look! The 6" T-600's job is to blow leaves off the road. The 10" Marcus; anyone seen the rape scene in Tetsuo? The 10" T-600 looks like Uziel from The Prophecy, and I love the way that his left trouser-leg is staying up. 10" T-R.I.P, there's your Jar-Jar, right there.

    The original two Terminator films are so distinctive and groundbreaking in their different ways. They were made by somebody with a vision and balls to the wall passion. T3 was a hackjob, someone cashing in on T2. This new one will be no different. No James Cameron, no Adam Greenberg, no Brad Fiedel. At the very most this new film will be a competent action film (which it won't be has anyone seen the action sequences from the Charlies Angels films?) McG is the worst kind of Hollywood pushover, as we saw from his on set reaction to Bale. This is not a Terminator film.

Think about the horrible Clone wars animated series, John Logan's script for Star trek nemesis etc...While Nolan was nt a particular Batman fan (he brought Goyer on partly to provide all the Batman mythos knowledge) and look how the last 2 Batman movies turned out. Or Singer, not a big x-men fan. Thats partly why I think Paramount did something really smart by giving trek to J.J who wasnt actually a trek fan...

    You're right about directors with lack of vision. Nolan and Fincher are the only two blockbuster directors I can think of from the current movement that are turning out anything watchable.

    How Many Haters Already Have Advance Orders For These

    by laserpants

    And multiple orders for each figure? My guess -- ALL OF THEM. And when they receive them, they will "hate" them, and when they see the flim (yes, flim) in theatres something like 500 or 600 times over a two week period, they will do it with "hate" in their hearts. "Hate" in this case meaning an almost psychotically obsessive love.
    In other news, T2: WEE WUB WOO ROBODADDY is, hands down, the most overrated movie of all times. Oh, no wait, the second most overrated -- TITANIC would the the MOST overrated movie of all times (as well as being one of the worst movies of all times. Excuse me, flim. Thats right: flim.)

    T2 Figures

    by thusspakespymunk

    The T2 figures came AFTER the movie, long after it premiered and had widespread appeal. In this case, the toys were CREATED MONTHS BEFORE THE MOVIE, and as a result prove beyond even a reasonable doubt that PG-13 was always the intention. And it's rubbish. See, what people who say "Don't whine!" miss about the whole PG-13/R thing is that it's not about wanting to see gore. It's about being disgusted at how Hollywood is terrified of making anything intense, dangerous or risky. Therefore, even an R-rated concept like robot murderers is relegated to PG-13 blanditude.

    everybody is focusing so much on the rating, imho rating wont particularly make a movie good or bad. Though it would be better for a movie to have the freedom to create whatever imagery it wants without considering anything as silly as the mpaa. But then I guess it also has to do with the film's intentions (what its trying to accomplish story/visual/thematic wise.

    by southafricanguy

    movie industry guys, its also why it will have a pg 13 rating. Look, lets face reality here...Hollywood is spending insane amounts of money to make these big tentpole genre movies. And since they are so expensive and its a gamble wether their film will be just a modest hit or the next dark knight, well...they have to make sure the movie casn play to the widest possible audiance (if anything blame the MPAA and its pathetic out of date rating system). Thus directors have to come up with ways to skirt around the ratings, by either pushing it as far as they can go (the dark knight) having the action be intense but involve robots/cyborgs (transformers, T4) or have a lot of the action involve aliens or alien creatures. The MPAA does nt like gory violence, but for some reasaon its more acceptable when happening to non-humans...And the toys are now part and parcel of the drive to get extra money from merchandise from these big movies, i guess it helps offset the huge risk of investment..

    by kief_ledger

    From the official blog of the production of THE EXPENDABLES: so today I heard Sly say, in an understated way, he was about to do the stunt of his life. Hmmm…sounded pretty cool. I’ve seen some pretty big action dudes do some pretty tricky stunts (no disrespect to the incredible guys who risk life and limb by doing dangerous stunts for a living) so it takes a lot to impress me. well today you can color me impressed…a lot…for real…by Sly. The freakin guy is fearless and pretty much ageless. No matter how I describe what I watched him do - 6 times - it won’t even be close to conveying what it was - a classic old school mano a mano takedown. Keep in mind there were no mats on the ground and Sly was basically bareback - no pads except for on his knees - as he dove, rolled, flipped, growled and punched his way through the scene ending with him breaking a neck. Oh and did I mention the sweltering heat and the hard dusty ground he kept slamming his body into? Sly was bleeding and bruised but after watching the last take he turned around and said “that’s how you teach the children.” Then he set up the next shot while the medics tried to stop the bleeding and clean the dirt and stones out of his arm. I LOVE ACTION MOVIES!!!!

    Bale's likeness theory?

    by chief joseph

    These toys were probably produced when the "John is really a Terminator" ending was in place. So I would not be surprised if they had some sort of "Endoskeleton Exposing Action" or something that made it look so bizarre.
    Playmates pulled a similar boner with Star Trek Generations where they released figures of the entire Enterprise crew based on preliminary uniform designs that were never actually used in the film. Plus a "Skydivin' Captain Kirk" figure from a scene that was cut out of the movie. So they ended up with only 2 or 3 figures that were actually in the film.

    At least they are making 3 3/4 toys..

    by playkins

    It used to make me mad when I was a kid if my toys weren't the same scale. I loved having Star Wars/G.I.Joe/Pocket Superheroes/Buck Rogers/Battlestar Galactica crossover battles. Adding a troll-scale He-Man didn't work out. PLUS they have a 3 3/4 scale A-10!!!!

    Oh, to be a kid again. Those terminators would have been a great back-up for my Stormtrooper/Cobra Special Forces. I called it the "Evil Alliance". Cobra Commander sat with Destro, Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, Darth Vader, and Prince Lotor. They ALWAYS won the fight.

    On the plus side they'll be cool Japanese robots that'll fuck us. But on the negative side they'll be uncool military robots that'll kill us.
    If the fucking robots look like Angelina and do anal it might be a trade-off worth making.

    why the toys look bad

    by stvnhthr

    Typically American toy companies pay a free lance sculptor to make their action figures so an artist does them. Playmates is notorious for using cheap factory sculptors. They started this with TMNT and continue to make some of the ugliest figures ever made for every movie line they get. Remember King Kong. Playmates always gets the business they promise large advances and can deliver large percentages. They are the anti-McFarlane of toy companies.

    SouthAfricanGuy - Why Worried About Rating

    by thusspakespymunk

    The reason people get bent out of shape about the toys isn't really the toys. It's because we all know that a movie that puts story and character first, appropriately, is ALWAYS better than a movie that prioritizes technical issues, including making a movie where you're deciding not "What should the character do here?" but "What should the character do here that keeps the rating PG-13?" That's the problem. We know it means they'll have a scene where Marcus is horribly injured and cries out "Blast! My cockamaime hand!"

    by slone13

    The Ninja Turtles figures had an astounding amount of detail. Not necessarily the actual turtles themselves as much as the other characters. In fact, they almost had TOO MUCH detail because it was cost prohibitive to actually paint all the different tiny things that were sculpted so most of the time they simply didn't.

    I agree that they were pretty good for their time, but go to a store that carries Playmates' TMNT and see what they look like NOW.
    There are some good looking TMNT figures being made, but they're not being made by Playmates, they're made by NECA.

    by d.vader

    And if you don't like the design of the new cartoon, you're not gonna like the design of the new toys. Matter of fact, I don't know if the toy line has the freedom to be creative and make all sorts of new characters the way the old toy line did. Seems like there aren't any other mutants in the new Ninja Turtles- you're either a Turtle, a Foot Soldier, a techno-enhanced human, or an alien. Whatever happened to animal/human hybrids like Mondo Gecko and Man-Ray, Bebop and Rocksteady? Bleh.

    by cellar door

    Toys aren't kewl unless you can eat them or if they shoot stuff at people's heads and eyes. Preferably stuff that gets lodged in the soft gelatin of the eye ball itself. And then you can yank the fishhook projectile out of their eye with a gentle tug. If you're lucky you might just pluck the eyeball from it's fleshy alcove. That's the greatest toy ever invented. The one's you can use to pluck the eyes out of complete stranger's faces. Call it sick but I bet your neighbor is a cyclops inside of a week.

    by silver_joo

    I love that Playmates have pointed out that the shittest looking gun ever is really high tech, ha ha. The T2 figures were better than this, certainly looked less cheap anyway. Even the Robocop figures look better than this. How can the main character have a helmet on, lol. I know you can take it off but damn, that's John Connor! Christian Bale must have really disliked the finished film if he refused to voice over the game and that his action figre be shipped with the helmet on! Priceless! Roll on June.

    I think toy makers were just more creative back in the late 80s/early 90s in knocking out new characters every other month. The variety of both the Transformers and original TMNT lines was great, and they used the shows and comics really cleverly to showcase new stuff. The original Turtles figures were really cool.

    by the revisionist

    these figures look a lot like the Aliens toys from 1992....but this is 2009 and there is no reason for the cheapness of these toys. i'm passing on these "dollar store" figures for sure.

    as a "toy enthusiast" i can say that there have been HUGE improvements in the industry over the past 10 years....not to mention the past 20 years. and these toys look like some of the poorly sculpted crap from the late 80s and early 90s. the indiana jones movie toys are far superior to these.
