Remember the first time you saw T2 and found out that the Terminator wasn’t going to kill anybody? I have to say I was a bit disappointed. That was before I realized he could still WOUND them in pretty gruesome ways. This has to be one of my all time favorite movies to this day. That is why I am pretty excited about our new T2 Minimates. I can re-create all the great scenes from one of my all time favorite movies right on my coffee table! I only wish we could make a Minimate size semi-truck and dirtbike. That, and maybe some cop cars to obliterate. I can tell you the prototypes I have seen are really cool, I can’t wait to get my hands on the production versions when they come out.

The newest Ultimate Quarter Scale figure coming out has got to be my favorite, the Terminator from T2! I am just not that big of a Star Wars fan (I know many people can’t relate). T2 blew me away when I saw it in the theater way back when. It just eclipsed the original in every way! The likeness on this figure is pretty much dead-on. The outfit makes you remember how cool the Governator looked in his biker leathers (strange how the stolen clothes always fit him so well). He also come with a sawed off shotgun without a trigger guard, just like in the movie (if only he had a box of roses to pull it out of). Just looking at this thing is bringing back so many memories I might have to re-watch the movie tonight for old time’s sake!
