karamazov80 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) WHAWHAWHA???!!! Perfect opportunity for creating multiple characters with a single base body. I can't wait to see the actual prototypes. Can Predator/Aliens be far behind??!! Also, your link didn't work for me, Andy, but there are a number of cool, new pre-orders just listed at BBTS, including a 13 inch Golden Age Flash, and pre-orders for MM waves 25 and 26! http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/list.aspx?list=1000 Edited November 14, 2008 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacksun1520 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Well this is an unexpected surprise... how the hell does BBTS get these things up for preorder before anyone eles even knows about them? They must have an inside man! BS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infallible Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Interesting find. I'm interested, but would like to see prototypes or something before ordering. But thanks for the notice on Marvel 25/26, I did preorder those. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andymini30 Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 Are you serious!? This is awesome, if it's true!!! seriously i have pre-ordered 3 sets for my army of machines and i might invest i a set of platoon mates as the resistance as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) As I look more carefully, though, I'm not sure exactly what we are getting here: "Includes one each of the following: Terminator, Battle-Damaged Terminator, Standard Endoskeleton, Battle-Damaged Endoskeleton, Scorched Endoskeleton and Half-Human Endoskeleton!" So, is "Terminator" the Endoskeleton covered in human tissue? If so, presumably we'll get at least regular T-800. Then, what is the difference between Battle-Damaged Terminator and Half-Human Endoskeleton? Is the BD Terminator not missing that much flesh? Then, there is a pic of John Connor (future) and T-1000 there. So, which one of those listed is the T-1000? "Terminator?" Is John Connor really a Terminator? Are those just extra add-ons that make the "non-Endoskeleton" Terminators? Edited November 14, 2008 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I really could care less what's in it, I just want confirmation on it. Is BBTS just yanking our chain? Let's hope not because I could use some generic evil menacing robots that are not Cylons. So who's going to do Cylons vs Terminators: The Movie? That would be worth seeing.

TBT! Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 It seems that BBTS has jumped ther gun and posted something he wasn't supposed to, not the first time he's done that! I suspect we'll have something official from DST pretty soon. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murderofcrows Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Looks like we might get a John Connor mate. sweet!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I think we will get a box set with the mates pictured plus the case of individually packaged Terminators listed by BBTS. The pre-order description doesn't match the picture so I think we will see more T2 mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect we'll have something official from DST pretty soon. T. Oh isn't it nice that they could condescend to eventually share with their most ardent & appreciative audience something that they are quite happy to leak to their retailers first. "Ooh come & spend a week guessing the next Marvel Wave won't you.We'll treat you like retards for a whole week in our most patronising fashion dripping the info like adrenaline ....." "Ooh look at us giving you Deadpool ....rather give you North Star" ....& then dribble out the next Pre-order.....It's bollocks! I was expecting Liberace at least.

But in all seriousness this is so cool & that's a t-1000 in the pic awesome cylons, Borg, terminators, ultrons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I got the bbts e-mail and had a jaw drop moment. This is so great I can't wait to see actual minimates because they are gonna be awesome!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Ohh yea thats cool but wheres the Arnie mate in leather jacket jeans an shades! the iconic look and its not there. anyway I like the robots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 When McFarlane made T2 figures in their Movie Maniacs line, they were not able to get the rights to Arnold's likeness, so they had a mostly cyborg Terminator instead to cover up his facial features. I wonder if that is why there is no Arnold in the concept art? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that is why there is no Arnold in the concept art? i think, like jatta pake said, we will get a boxed set to go along with this. im guessing: arnie (t-800) sara connor john connor (child) t-1000 PS: winkerbean, you always have the coolest avatars. :tongue: DOWN HERE THEY ALL FLOAT!

buttheadsmate Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 (edited) Is that T-1000 in the picture looking very much like Silver-Surfer (esp. in the leg & arm dept.)? If so that would be one sweet Minimate. Edited November 15, 2008 by buttheadsmate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthRaider Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 (edited) Doctor Who I've never watched that show before, but Hell I'd like minimates of those too!!! Edited November 15, 2008 by NorthRaider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 These look more like T4 mates than T2 to me. Still, that isn't stopping me from jizzing my pants at this moment. (TMI?) DST actually listens!!! *TOYGASM* DST floats prototype art around to retailers in order to trump up business and interest. This is just a thought, but maybe they shouldn't do that to BBTS any more. They're notorious for leaking anything they find. Looking at these, they appear to be like the zombie mates. Clear torso blocks, painted on detailing, and an extra upper torso piece ala Human Torch. And yeah, like MiniFiend said, Dr. Who would be outstanding. Everyone email Underground Toys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 (edited) Hear me out for a sec. Maybe, we're eventually gonna get an army building case like we have with the Cylons. It'd make more sense what with all the variations of endo-skeletons we're getting and then maybe there'll be a boxed set (or sets) for the main characters. Just my 2 cents. Yay Terminator-mates!
