“He looks just like that guy from kindergarten cop” you sir crack me up 😂

Oh T2, a actual terminator sequel we loved, not that toilet bomb that came out this weekend!

[juanc]

In the original terminator, The infiltration units were identically different. They weren’t suppose to be the same face. There’s a flash back scene where Reese’ under ground bunker got ambushed by a terminator that wasn’t the same face as Arnold. But the canon changed in T2 because John Connor had a father-son attachment to the good t-800 in T2. Skynet used that to help get to John sentimentally and used the same face.

Another Toy Line you may want to research: Last Action Hero (1993).
The action figures and cars were good quality - close to Arnold's likeness for the time and very durable.
The movie was not memorable but there was gold convertible and a Schwarzenegger figure as Hamlet with a sword, firing Yorick's skull from his hand!

That Meltdown Terminator with his camouflage pants can also be redecoed as Dutch from the Predator.

I remember these toys back in the day. I also remember thinking WTF?!

[TheLordOfCastleVania]

The power arm t-800's normal human arm had a mechanism that cause a thin "spike" to come out. but where it came out caused it to look like he was giving the middle finger. I had a few of these growing up, they did great battling the X-men figures

Hey JM! Great episode! Bummer for me that my show is just starting out... because once it gets a bigger audience, I was gonna ask if you'd like to pair up and tackle this topic together. Oh well. Anyway, I wanted to fill you in on why SOME Terminators look like Arnie. The T-800 is the make, like a Chevy. The versions that look like Arnold are a "T-800 Model 101, " like a Silverado. So, other T-800's who look different would have a different model number. For example, Franco Columbo played a T-800 in the future war dream that Kyle Reese had in the original movie.

A T-800 Model 107 looks just like That Junkman. 😎

As a kid, I had all the toys (except the talking puppet) 😊

Watching that video brought such great memories ! 👍

[Taffer-bxuc]

The endoskeleton was awesome. I had a few of those.

[aaronmosteller]

NECA has made various Kenner homages to this line including the White Hot T-1000, Power Arm Terminator, and Metal Mash Endoskeleton. Enjoyed the video Junkman!!

[rtd]

I had some of these I got off the shelves at K-B Toys back then and I still think this T-800 was the best one made!

[doctorgoodguy]

I had the glowing one. Like you said always a cool feature.

[paulb]

I had a Future Wars T-800 skeleton
It was bronze colored but that's the only one I ever had.
Currently I have 2 NECA Terminator, and three from the Mcfarlane movie monsters line
The T-1000 from that line looks great
The T-800 looks like the Terminator, but the flesh has been stripped away so he looks nothing like Arnold
But he does come with the sunglasses
Very little articulation, but still nice for display
Thanks for another great video That Junkman!

[christopherlacher]

This line probably did better than Dark Fate's opening weekend!!!😅😜😊😝

[Hammerhead]

Looking back, I can't believe I had so many of these.

[JackieWohlenhaus]

For some reason I always used to run across these figures in junk stores for the longest time. Maybe in the Midwest kids just weren't attatched to their T2 figures.

[muddfoot]

Great video, I forgot about these...first 3 movies were awesome

[Terminatorfan-]

The only figure I have from this line is John Connor with his motorcycle. I wanted some nostalgia and this was a good figure to do that with in my opinion. I'm keeping him in the box and displaying him that way. I personally think it's cool. Good review. I remember when KB Toys near where I live sold these. The card backing is super awesome.

[Scotty-Z]

You don't remember the car with the missiles? it was in the extended scenes of the Director's Cut. Along with his Helicopter and Extra Arm Attachments like the Bionic Man meets the villains of Centurions
