Terminator will live on forever through the rule of cool. While not every theatrical release is a hit (including the most recent
entry, 2019’s Terminator: Dark Fate), the T-800 Endoskeleton and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s portrayal are etched into pop culture for all time.
The first movie was a fantastic horror/thriller flick, and the second is a top 10 all-timer action romp. The first two movies have something for everyone, and they’ve survived this long because they’re absolute classics. But it’s time to start celebrating new releases, too. Thanks to a listing from Sideshow out of nowhere, it’s clear that Terminator is back.
Clocking in at $350, this battle-damaged T-800 figure from Hot Toys is impressive on multiple levels. Meant to replicate the last battle from Terminator 2, you’ll get a full replica Sixth Scale Figure of the T-800, modeled after Arnold Schwarzenegger’s likeness.
Here’s what you’re getting for the price: “The faithfully crafted battle-damaged version of the T-800 Sixth Scale Figure features a newly developed head sculpt with separate rolling eyeball, as well as an additional heavily damaged head sculpt revealing the endoskeleton with an LED light-up right eye; a meticulously tailored costume featuring jackets made in genuine leather (a battle damaged version and an additional one that is tattered on the left sleeve), a pair of pants also in genuine leather and a gray printed tee; weapons including a machine gun, a rifle, a pistol, a grenade launcher, a set of bullets and a rod; and lastly a specially designed steel mill themed diorama figure base that comes with LED function to replicate the iconic ending scene of the battle between T-800 and T-1000.”
The figure is expected to ship by the end of the month, though some orders might be delayed into December. Sideshow also sells several other Terminator companion pieces, including a T-800 art mask for $800, a battle-damaged Endoskeleton for $400, and a life-size T-800 Endoskeleton for $8500, which essentially doubles as movie memorabilia.
If you’re really curious about this figure and what it entails, here’s the full list of pieces:

- One (1) new tailored black-colored battle-damaged genuine leather jacket

Terminator fans will want to take note of future figures, too, as there are many different Terminator models to choose from (like the T-X, or the T-5000). You wouldn’t think it, given how few “numbered” movies there are, but the series has a ton of films under its belt, plus a few TV shows, crossover events, and video games.
