Now I am going to rip these fucking lights down!!
FUCK...Second!!! by Gus Van Rant	Apr 13th, 2009 07:29:01 PM

Do any of these toys threaten to "Rip the fucking lights down"? by Gus Van Rant	Apr 13th, 2009 07:29:42 PM
I gots to know!
Awful by GeorgieBoy	Apr 13th, 2009 07:29:59 PM
Some of these are just dumb.

i'm going to toys r us now
The T-1 6 from T3 right? by Raymar	Apr 13th, 2009 07:30:17 PM

These toys are real amateur...fuckin amateur... by Gus Van Rant	Apr 13th, 2009 07:32:03 PM
But they are nice toys...but fucking amateur.
I want the mask! by The Drude	Apr 13th, 2009 07:32:18 PM
That thing rocks... probably made for childrens' heads though...
Do the toys walk in like "uh dah dah dahdah dah" by Gus Van Rant	Apr 13th, 2009 07:32:51 PM
Fucking prick.
These toys are rated PG-13 by FlickaPoo	Apr 13th, 2009 07:35:24 PM

Where to buy? by theviking	Apr 13th, 2009 07:38:24 PM
as usual will have to wait being from oz. Bugger.
No Sarah Connor Inflatable Doll? by JumpinJehosaphat	Apr 13th, 2009 07:38:44 PM

Sideshow H-K link is broken. by COCKNASTY_BUTTSTANK	Apr 13th, 2009 07:39:53 PM
FUCKING AMATEUR.
oooo the T-1 makes a reappearance. by Bouncy X	Apr 13th, 2009 07:40:52 PM
i guess that proves T3 isn't completely ignored, stan winston's legacy lives on. and i love those little patches, wish they had that when T2 came out.
The Truth about Michael Myers by s0l	Apr 13th, 2009 07:41:57 PM
He's a T-600 (The 10" T-600 model) Is it just me or does it look a bit too much like it's wearing a William Shanter mask?
dude, that child model looks PISSED OFF! by s0nicdeathmonkey	Apr 13th, 2009 07:44:02 PM
the photo with him wearing the "prosthetics" is hilarious
I want you off the set you fucking prick! by batman713	Apr 13th, 2009 07:44:13 PM
"You want me to trash your lights? You want me to fuckin trash em?!" is the new "Damn you michael bay"
Uggg by philldwill	Apr 13th, 2009 07:45:22 PM
These are lame looking. I guess these are the cheap ones for kids to play with, blow up and than light on fire. Hopefully they'll have some high quality collector style figures, I need more figures for my desk at work. At the least the movie looks cool even w/ the PG-13 Rating.
T-R.I.P.? Puhlease! by FSJGuy	Apr 13th, 2009 07:47:49 PM
i hope thats just a nickname for the toy and not used in the movie...makes me want to T-L.M.A.O.
umm.. that power fist... by combatdave	Apr 13th, 2009 07:48:12 PM
is from fallout 3. the design is very simillar, as well as the.. um.. NAME. makes you wish they'd make a fallout 3 movie.
Ohh GOOOOOOOD for you by pleasebanme	Apr 13th, 2009 07:50:15 PM

T-600 Voice 'N' Vision Skull by A G	Apr 13th, 2009 07:50:16 PM
The child model wearing the "Voice N Vision skull" has had the picture from the box art photoshopped over his head. Even the lighting effects from the box are present on his mask. Incredibly poor.
pleasebanme: That was awesome by Emperor_was_a_jerk	Apr 13th, 2009 07:53:24 PM

The toy names are worrying me by Marko Ramius	Apr 13th, 2009 07:55:02 PM
T-R.I.P.???!!! How awful is this film going to be? Also, when did Johnny-5 get reprogrammed to fight humans?
In 4th grade, I was The Terminator for Halloween. by DarthCorleone	Apr 13th, 2009 07:55:40 PM
But this is just ridiculous.
Wow, those suck. by digitalcos	Apr 13th, 2009 07:55:43 PM
I mean, considering what's being done in the toy industry nowadays, those suck. Well, sure I want one of the endo-skull over-head masks to put on my shelf, but other than that...
Whoring rivals Lucas' by Chief Joseph	Apr 13th, 2009 08:00:37 PM
Pick a scale and go with it. They're going to do similar shit with the new Ghostbusters figures.

Someone learned how to paint their old GI Joes by smackfu	Apr 13th, 2009 08:08:48 PM
FYI McG, Skynet tanks and planes don't really need to have a little robot head ontop of them for us to realize it's a ro-bit.
WHY IS BALES FACE COVERED.. by VALENTINEproductions	Apr 13th, 2009 08:09:04 PM
AND WHY ARE THERE NO OTHER FIGURES OF HIM? THATS STRANGE SEEING HOW HES THE MAIN CHARACTER. ALSO HE DOSENT DO THE VOICE IN THE GAME, IM GUESSING HE WANTS LITTLE TO DO WITH THIS AS POSSIBLE.
Bend over for that Power Fist! by Squashua	Apr 13th, 2009 08:12:29 PM
Powah!
Reminds me of the Kenner figures for T2. by Psyclops	Apr 13th, 2009 08:15:01 PM
That movie was rated R and I remember the toys being a huge hit that Christmas. Hell, even ALIEN RESURRECTION had a toy line from Hasbro and that movie was gory as shit.

You are boring by Magnum Opus	Apr 13th, 2009 08:17:50 PM
If you are still quoting Christian Bale's rant, then you are both unoriginal and tedious. It doesn't bother me, it just seems sad at this point.
Why build a ten-foot tall one? by Adelai Niska	Apr 13th, 2009 08:18:59 PM

I am so getting that skull "for my nephews."
Those endoskeleton patches are the fucking shit! by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Apr 13th, 2009 08:29:51 PM

Not a good sign by theoyboy	Apr 13th, 2009 08:30:18 PM
Christian Bale not allowing his likeness and not supplying his voice for the video game means one thing = he doesn't like what happened or how the movie turned out. But, hey, I'll probably like it. So I really don't know if... "OH GOOD! AND HOW WAS THAT!?" Can I finish?
Where's The McG Figure? by Crow3711	Apr 13th, 2009 08:30:49 PM
And Where's the Pull-String Activated Bale Model that Tells You What A Fucking God Damn Amateur You Are?
Congratulations Merrick by Kenny_Fuckin_Powers	Apr 13th, 2009 08:33:51 PM
Given you have the mentality and writing skills of a brain damaged 5 year old, I think it might just be possible that your son is actually older than you. Now that's an idea for a movie.
JumpinJehosaphat = SICK FUCK by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Apr 13th, 2009 08:34:07 PM
Sarah Connor inflatable doll? You'd like to plow the ass of a 12 year old boy? You're a nice guy, but FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
what cool news by Kenny_Fuckin_Powers	Apr 13th, 2009 08:35:36 PM
nothing on the incredible 12 inch figures that sideshow have which are cool news, but instead a story that feels like a reprint of a target sunday insert. whaddya wanna bet merrick gets shipped a box of these for his "son"
best james cameron line ever DGDB by Kenny_Fuckin_Powers	Apr 13th, 2009 08:36:30 PM
Bill Paxton in True Lies: "She's got titties that make you stand up and beg for buttermilk, ass like a ten year old boy".
Bill Paxton was basically playing Jim Cameron. by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Apr 13th, 2009 08:38:20 PM

Terminator and T2 were both rated R.... by JERRY HORROR	Apr 13th, 2009 08:40:47 PM
So was Aliens and Predator, they marketed and sold toys for children made by Kenner.
And Arnold played Jim Cameron in T3. by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Apr 13th, 2009 08:41:10 PM
When he dunked a female's fucking head in the toilet.
Honestly, this would give me nightmares. by Cotton McKnight	Apr 13th, 2009 08:43:22 PM
If I was a child, that is. I had an aversion to "cyborg" things when I was a kid and I am very glad that these toys didn't come out then. Frankly I don't think the Terminator franchise is for kids anyway but what do I know. I've only been following it for what, 25 years?
Which means it's been known that it will be PG13... by Dolph	Apr 13th, 2009 08:50:16 PM
...long enough for all these toys to be designed and manufactured. Which means McG was lying yet again.
Awful is right by WhoDis	Apr 13th, 2009 08:51:02 PM
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.
Nice reused of molds... by HB_Dad	Apr 13th, 2009 08:52:53 PM
I love how the T-600 and T-R.I.P are the exact same figure but differently colored. Toy-maker cash grab perhaps?
Sweet! Battle-Damaged Steve Austin! by Flim Springfield	Apr 13th, 2009 08:56:29 PM

These toys are fucking crap by Hawaiian Organ Donor	Apr 13th, 2009 08:57:35 PM
Ugly as shit. Give me the Star Wars Kenner stuff from 25 years ago any day over this garbage.
well that's strange by walrusholder	Apr 13th, 2009 08:59:24 PM
I named my junk John Conner 6" and now a toy has the strange the name. My name is more flattering then my wifes name for it "micro machine"

T-R.I.P by The Dark Shite	Apr 13th, 2009 09:04:04 PM
So, Skynet has a bad sense of humour in this movie? Maybe that's where the Arnie Terminator got it from. Best quote ever.."Harry was all excited aboout the giant foam HULK hands you could wear to 'smash' stuff - so was my 9 year old son."
Distractions by Patrick_Bateman_trashed_my_401K	Apr 13th, 2009 09:05:34 PM
Someone must have been screwing with the lighting the day the designers made toys. Only explanation. You have no fucking idear how distracting that could be to professionals.
junk by frank cotton	Apr 13th, 2009 09:06:11 PM
childish junk

You're right: the Terminator franchise chicks just don't have cushin' for the pushin'.

Where's the toy light set? by Turd Furgeson	Apr 13th, 2009 09:14:24 PM
They need a toy light set so the john connor doll can go in and trash it....

That mask is hideous.
Speaking of toys..WTF? by The Dark Shite	Apr 13th, 2009 09:18:27 PM
WHAT in the name of sweet baby Jesus, is that Indiana Jones figure in the top right hand corner supposed to be? "Crack addict Indy"?
I hate McG as much... by Chief Joseph	Apr 13th, 2009 09:22:09 PM
...as the next guy, but there WERE Terminator 2 toys when that movie came out. See here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =-seC3fQzUd8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =-ikNm__ustA
The NEW Neca T2 figures look way better. by GenreBoy	Apr 13th, 2009 09:25:33 PM
No seriously. They do. They have images over at toynewsinternational. These figures look like shit. They make the mcfarlane lines look good...an those sucked ass as well..b/c they were essetially maquettes.
Oh, now I understand by Chief Joseph	Apr 13th, 2009 09:29:47 PM
These toys are made by Playmates Toys, the shittiest toy company in America. You may remember them for running Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles into the ground (twice) and for squandering their Star Trek license.
the movie will probably be a letdown by johnnyangel	Apr 13th, 2009 09:31:19 PM
unless they can top the kickass T:SCC finale. And I don't get the thing with collecting plastic statuettes but it doesn't hurt my feelings any if somebody else does.
is this website going to review these toys to? by mikey mike	Apr 13th, 2009 09:33:13 PM
so much for cool news
Don't mind me... by Steve Young	Apr 13th, 2009 09:33:23 PM

T-R.I.P. fortelling of the T-franchise after this abomination? by coltrautman	Apr 13th, 2009 09:41:17 PM
its McG and pg-13...honestly..
creepy by DoctorZoidberg	Apr 13th, 2009 09:44:37 PM
just creepy
Now we know WHY it's a PG13 by Mockingbuddha	Apr 13th, 2009 09:45:25 PM
movie. It's hard to believe someone called McG, could be such a corporate whore. I'm not criticizing though, I'd sell out in a second, given the chance.
WTF by kafka07	Apr 13th, 2009 09:47:02 PM
Wow these toys are demented. That Power Fist rivals the Hulk Hands any day. Feel the power of the Terminator?? Oh man lol. And it vibrates. Ok. And that Terminator mask is just plain fucked. Hilarious stuff.
Nice Christian Bale toy... by TheMarineBiologist	Apr 13th, 2009 09:47:44 PM
Seriously, that John Conner toy could be anyone.
What. No cute comic relief sidekick character? by otm shank	Apr 13th, 2009 09:49:12 PM
It is PG-13.
I find this merchandising lame. by Nivek666	Apr 13th, 2009 10:06:06 PM
Seriously, is the guy who designed this line living with an early 80's market in mind? These figures look like junk, even kids know this is crap.
The T600... by skiprat1	Apr 13th, 2009 10:15:16 PM
...looks like the Dad from Everybody Loves Raymond. I'd have watched THAT episode.
My boys may like them..... by KSmotorider	Apr 13th, 2009 10:16:05 PM
The only one I'd consider for my shelf if it was a good quality toy(which I don't see here, but I bet it will be made) are the Terminator Bikes.
Oh fuck you. There were a shitload of T2 action figures. by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Apr 13th, 2009 10:20:12 PM
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.
Does anyone spend like 200-300 bucks on sideshow collectibles? by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Apr 13th, 2009 10:24:25 PM
If so-- you need to get a fucking woman to spend some cash on. Seriously....a couple hundred bucks on action figures? For that kinda coin-- I hope you're getting off on it and stuffing the thing up your fucking ass you lonely ass motherfucker.
KSmotorider I agree by Iron-kong	Apr 13th, 2009 10:30:29 PM
Especially if they have rip-chords and you can make them do stunts like those old Evel Knieval bikes. Actually I remember in the 80's they had smaller stunt bikes that looked like crotch rockets.
2009 by lostboytexass	Apr 13th, 2009 10:32:22 PM
and still toys looks like plastic garbage. can someone teach those 8 year old chinese kids how to make quality gear please???
John Connor action figure with "light trashing" action! by Clavius	Apr 13th, 2009 10:44:40 PM
Pretty much all I want one for.
Look cheap by the_shogun_gunslinger	Apr 13th, 2009 10:46:31 PM
But as others have stated, HERE is the reason we get a PG-13 rated Terminator movie. Why the fuck can they make toys for T2 and still make it R rated? Oh I know, because we weren't a nation of total pussies back in '91.
Those Endo Skeleton Patches would make me puke... by thecomedian	Apr 13th, 2009 10:49:32 PM
Gross and kinds creepy. So it the Terminator mask. On the flipside I hope they use the uncanny valley to full effect with the T-600s. That's what makes them so menacing in the 1st place.
They look like the old school T2 figures by Biffs_Pleasure_Paradise	Apr 13th, 2009 10:50:35 PM
The ones that came out back when the movie was released. Those looked like shit and so do these.
DGDB's Greatest Wisdom: Pussy > Toys by DOGSOUP	Apr 13th, 2009 10:56:40 PM
Learn it. Live it. Possible exception for specialized toys that vibrate and make the G-Spot swell but you can't get those from Sideshow Collectibles. No a full scale replica of Thor's Hammer doesn't count
Double bullshit by daggor	Apr 13th, 2009 10:59:21 PM
Yep. This film was never, ever gonna show the gore and boobies it needs it they've been planning on having all these toy tie-ins. All these stupid, ugly, make-a-fast-buck then on-clearance-in-October shitty toys. Nice that Playmates wants to show us these figures, which not only spoil some of the story, but we've been seeing glimpses of for months. Fuck you, Playmates, and fuck you, McG.
Hell yeah I remember by Biffs_Pleasure_Paradise	Apr 13th, 2009 11:07:36 PM
Along with an Arnie figure in a wifebeater, and for some inexplicable reason you could pop off his upper torso (face and chest). I loved the days when action figure lines would end up going totally wacky with shit that was never in the movies or TV shows.
Those endoskeleton patches by Mr Lucas	Apr 13th, 2009 11:10:15 PM
bring back memories of something similar 2000AD gave away based on a cyborg character in one of the early issues(sorry - 'progs')it was probably in 1977 (when everything was better than it is now, kids). I had them on when I went to school. Bastard teacher made me take them off.
The lowdown: by MotherPussBucket	Apr 13th, 2009 11:16:01 PM
The 6" T-700 looks like it's taking someone from behind. Or if you buy 2 then they could dance the tango together. The 6" John Connor: lipstick and wellington boots, nice. 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. Hope this movie doesn't end up being buggered on South Park.

It's Playmates Toys, guys by Chief Joseph	Apr 13th, 2009 11:29:28 PM
Remember that first wave of Ninja Turtles toys? That Splinter that looked like a big brown turd and that gay shirtless, purple & blue armored Shredder? That was like 1987, so it can be forgiven... except that their toys all look like that still. Take a look at the Star Wars line; those figures are priced for kids and yet they look great. I'm wondering if there's a reason Hasbro, Mattel, or whoever wouldn't touch this thing.
Oh, and Bale rant jokes... by Chief Joseph	Apr 13th, 2009 11:31:32 PM
...will never stop being funny to me. I still think about Michael Richards and chuckle sometimes,and Bale's is 10x funnier. (Though not a career killer.)

Well I know that TFs and Terminator... by Roketopunch	Apr 13th, 2009 11:35:58 PM
are being compared with each other already. The Transformers have one thing going for them besides Optimus and that is the Transformers has better toys. Fact. This looks like poop.
Terminator Toys Were The Best Growing Up! by PR1C3Y	Apr 13th, 2009 11:38:51 PM
Especially with T2 they got really creative with shit. Anybody else have the thing were you covered the little 6 inch ecto skeleton in pink flesh stuff which could be torn off at your leisure. Or how about the exploding Robert Patrick toy. How I miss being a kid :(
"little 6 inch ecto skeleton in pink flesh stuff" by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Apr 13th, 2009 11:42:36 PM
That wasn't a T2 toy dude. That was your mom's fucking pocket rocket.
The T-600 by jimmy_009	Apr 13th, 2009 11:48:27 PM
Doesn't make a lot of sense as far as fooling the Resistance. It's hard to mistake an 8 foot tall rubber behemoth as a real person. That said I can't wait to see them in action. The prequel novel to the movie featured a lot of T-600 action.
lol @ r rating. by alice 13	Apr 13th, 2009 11:48:46 PM
i will lol @ a r rating while i wear my t-600 voice 'n' vision skull with its sound fx and voice changer.
Yea Man Who Cares About Bales Rant? by PR1C3Y	Apr 13th, 2009 11:55:06 PM
If I was Christian Bale I'd rant like a motherfucker about anything. Considering I am a badass batman, I hatcheted Jared Leto whilst listening to Huey Lewis And The News, Went for the method smackhead look in The Machinist, Public Enemies with him and Johnny Depp doing the Mann thing with Tommy Guns!, and of course he went loco Rolling Thunder style in Harsh Times. That's a man who can rant whenever the fuck he wants!

Those kids toys are FUCKED UP!! by malificus	Apr 14th, 2009 12:16:11 AM
I promise to plant my most bolce boot in the puss of any grunt-faced little bastard that comes at me wearing any of this fucked up Terminator shit. They are worse than eerie and any kid that wants to put on one of those masks and come near me is asking for it in a big way and will certainly get it.
Could these look any more dated? by JoeSixPack	Apr 14th, 2009 12:17:28 AM
Holy crap, action figures have come a long way since the early 90s. The figures look awful, frankly.

Is it just me, or does T-4 look increasingly retarded by MANZILLA	Apr 14th, 2009 12:35:54 AM
They could have really gone after the horror angle of the rubber skinned machines if they went for an R but you cant look at these toys and not know that it will be PG-13 garbage.

no rated R movie can have a toy for kids ? by theplant	Apr 14th, 2009 12:49:52 AM
What about all the T2 toys, you moron ? It was the exact same line for an R rated movie, prick. Don't speak when you don't know shit, fuckin ass.
theplant: That was circa 1990'ish... by The Dum Guy	Apr 14th, 2009 12:57:35 AM
...That was before 9/11 and the Jonas Brothers, we now live in a different time. Of course it all comes down to what you lable something. Have I seen plastic "action figures" of Watchmen at Blockbuster, no I've seen "special edition replicas". Its like... Tommy Chong was arrested for selling bongs (water pipes), but according to some states you can sell 'water pipes', but not 'bongs'. What's the difference you ask? The same between a vagina and a cunt... one sounds more likeable than the other.
Glad you agree. CUNT is a far more likable name for it. by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Apr 14th, 2009 01:10:54 AM

Why so few Bale toys?!? by conspiracy	Apr 14th, 2009 01:25:46 AM

I'm sure it is in his contract that ALL likeness of Bale MUST be at least a manly and professional sized 16"...anything less will get fucking trashed.
Proof of McG's Lies by ThusSpakeSpymunk	Apr 14th, 2009 01:30:16 AM
The fact that toys like this are created MONTHS AND MONTHS in advance, and the fact that toys for kids don't get marketed to children, you've got here definitive proof that THE MOVIE WAS ALWAYS - ALWAYS - ALWAYS INTENDED TO BE PG-13, AND WAS NEVER GOING TO BE ALLOWED TO BE 'R' NO MATTER WHAT. McG's lies sicken me because people believe him. Now, he's been found out. I hope someone in the Hollywood scene reading this takes a moment to call him out for this.

"Yo, dawg, check out mah T-RIP! Yeeeeah, I thought of tha name mahself, it trippin', aight! And look at all tha bling on that sucka!" Or something similar. Thankfully, I don't know that babble well enough to imitate it. But I thougt I knew McG's "imagination" and "creativity" - and now it turns out that they're actually smaller and more pathetic than I'd believed. There are only two "Terminator" movies and it will stay that way, accept it. Just as there is only one "Highlander" film.

but then you see stupid shit like these names by southafricanguy	Apr 14th, 2009 03:35:12 AM

Or everyone just makes up their minds beforehand based on their personal issues with whatever director/actor etc...
southafricanguy by kwisatzhaderach	Apr 14th, 2009 05:42:46 AM
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.

those hack directors thats good at mimicking another directors style, i get the impression he has no particular style or pov of his own when making a movie. Most of his comments in interviews seem to stress how much he has studied the first two movies, so I think he has tried his hardest to make a film that feels like its part of the same universe as the first two movies.
But i agree with you Kwis, letting fans direct by southafricanguy	Apr 14th, 2009 06:54:13 AM
a movie can be a very bad thing, there is a lack of objectivity. 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...

Fans are just destined to try and copy the films they fell in love with in the first place. Singers Superman Returns being the main offender. 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	Apr 14th, 2009 08:01:03 AM
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	Apr 14th, 2009 08:43:30 PM
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.

If you don't like Salvation's rating, than fuck off and jerk off to Stallone's Expendables. Oh wait.....thats PG-13 too now! Oh well. You always have Inglorious Shitstorm. I hear Eli Roth raps dirty in that one. DIRTY CURSE WORDS = GOOD MOVIE

for me personally i really dont understand why by southafricanguy	Apr 14th, 2009 11:09:13 PM
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.
Im more worried about this being written by by southafricanguy	Apr 14th, 2009 11:11:12 PM
the same guys as T3, and the big question of wether McG can copy/ape the general look and feel of the first two movies (which I guess he can since he appears to have no particular style or voice of his own).
and as for the toys.....welcome to the modern by southafricanguy	Apr 14th, 2009 11:19:38 PM
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..
and makes the rewards that much greater by southafricanguy	Apr 14th, 2009 11:22:22 PM
if the movie is a big hit. Plus its a kind of branding if you think about it. Toys are a major part of every franchise now, helps get the kids into something and make them fans, or a future audiance for later sequals....
who will buy other related merchandise like by southafricanguy	Apr 14th, 2009 11:23:52 PM
comics, collectibles, computer games, the dvds etc...

I had to make sure everyone sees this by Kief_Ledger	Apr 14th, 2009 11:50:23 PM
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	Apr 15th, 2009 12:26:26 AM
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.

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.

Dingbatty and Danny you just opened my eyes man. That shits way more advanced than I thought. The future is a bit frightening, indeed. 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	Apr 15th, 2009 06:56:20 AM
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	Apr 15th, 2009 08:51:22 AM
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!"

Who said the Ninja Turtles toys were ugly? by D.Vader	Apr 15th, 2009 10:31:55 AM

What they really need to make..... by BigMick	Apr 15th, 2009 11:37:00 AM
are Terminator beer cozies. Ya know? Just like when the Hulk movie came out, and they had those beer cozies that were like Hulk hands but with an opening for a beer. If they made one of those with a terminator hand, I would definitely buy that.
D.Vader is spot on by slone13	Apr 15th, 2009 12:42:57 PM
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.

TMNT toys suck now by Chief Joseph	Apr 15th, 2009 02:37:56 PM
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.

That's bc the new Ninja Turtles toys are based off the toon by D.Vader	Apr 15th, 2009 02:52:35 PM
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.

Yeah but can you eat them? by Cellar Door	Apr 15th, 2009 04:03:34 PM
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.

Don't fuck with my high tech rifle by Silver_Joo	Apr 15th, 2009 07:00:41 PM
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.
D. Vader by Silver_Joo	Apr 15th, 2009 07:04:45 PM
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.
I guess they're cutting budget costs on the toys by the Revisionist	Apr 16th, 2009 02:53:33 AM
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.
