I love this toy line. Can still remember when they first appeared on the shelves in my local woolworths. I did sell them when I got to my teens but as an adult, I've almost completed the set. Only a few left to get. Mostly variants. This may be the 3rd time I've watched this video. Fuckin love this channel!
@@dgambo1985 Oh wow, thanks so much for the kind words! I'm so glad you're enjoying the channel. I'm really hoping I can find the time to get back to working on new episodes soon. In the meantime, best of luck completing your collection!
I had the Power Arm Terminator figure when I was a kid and my Brother had one that i believe was a villian or something and he had this kind of grabber hand that you could grip things with. I think I also had the endoskeleton with the glowing red eyes as well.
@@CraigTodd-x9d The villain you're describing sounds like Cyber-Grip! This toyline had a few different weird characters like that, which is unfortunate because those guys might have been interesting, but the fact that Kenner choice to concoct those guys and make about thirty variations of Uncle Bob instead of making one single figure of Sarah Connor is kind of a bummer. But that was the state of action figures in the 90's.
PS. Just realized that the audio you played while you were opening the T-1000 package were actually the yells of the guy who got his shoulder stabbed at the biker bar. Brilliant 😆
I love when people catch that! 😂 I'll be using that knife for a lot more stuff in the future, and whenever I do, you can expect to hear the "pull it out!" guy. 😂
Thanks man! Yeah, I love that. For some reason I didn't really understand that that shot was illustrating that he was just standing there motionless for like six hours while they slept, until I was a little older. But I love that shot. And I love how Sarah is sitting there awake for awhile, just watching him because she doesn't trust him. Very cool.
Worth the wait! Thank you, Uncle Casey! In my country, we had the Kenner toys under the Jocsa (Reseller, I guess?) brand. T2, Rambo, Ghostbusters and the like. Plus, Jocsa normally bundled some toys with VHS cassette tapes. The T2 one came with a sweet BTS and Teaser/Trailers for the movie. I have I somewhere, I might digitize it.
Awesome! Yeah, Jocsa was licensed through Kenner to make the toys in Argentina, and they made a bunch of other Terminator items as well, which weren't made anywhere else! I look forward to doing some episodes on the Jocsa products in the future. Very interesting stuff!
The Blaster T-1000 head looks like Lou Ferrigno who played The Incredible Hulk. They probably reused the mold, it happened a lot. Felt a little bit of envy watching this. I wanted T2 toys back in the day but a lot of toys weren't available in my country back in the '80s and early '90s. If you wanted to make this Dutch kid cry, you just had show me cool toys and a "not available in the Benelux" sticker.
@@Tfor2show Oh yes, that's the cruel part. We had the commercials and those neat little catalogues listing all the action figures, vehicles and what not. You'd think they would edit the commercials to omit unavailable items but nah, they just put a disclaimer saying not all items were available. If you really wanted those items, they had to be imported from Germany, France or the UK. There's a lot of toys I missed out on, though, looking back I can't really complain about the toys I did get.
@@blafhoest Oh! So you're saying that they DID import the Terminator 2 toyline to the Netherlands, just not the entire line? Like they would only import a few select figures to sell in stores?
@@Tfor2show Some figures were available, yes. For instance, from the first Terminator 2 toy line we would maybe get John Connor, Ultimate Terminator and one of the T-1000s. That's 3 figures out of 14 total. And even then they were overpriced and only available at the biggest chain of toy stores. It was usually the rich and/or spoiled kids who had the cool toys.
I was 16 when T2 came out, so I wasn't getting action figures anymore but during the '80s I made a T-800 that kinda looked like Arnold by Frankensteining(real word?)pieces from different G.I.JOES together. He'd take outta buncha JOES and Star Wars dudes until someone hit him with some super heavy firepower. On another note, I gave this video it's 13th thumbs up so that means I can't walk under any ladders or step on any cracks in the pavement for the rest of the week... totally worth it. Cheers!🍻
Haha, thank you for the support! And thanks for sharing that story! I don't suppose your custom T-800 still exists in an old toybox back home or something? I'd love to see photos of it!
@@Tfor2show, I just remembered I would replace the T-800's robot arm with a buff human arm and pretend he was Dutch from PREDATOR... does that mean he's "Double Dutch"? Anyway, negative on acquiring target visualization of the T-800. I ran off and joined the Army and while I was gone my evil stepmother sold all my action figures inna garage sale. They'd be worth a fortune today and she sold them for a quarter each. I don't have any Terminator stuff, but in my latest video I disassemble my .45, which is the same caliber Arnie used to shatter the T-1000... so I got that going for me, which is nice.
@@Tfor2show, my cat's pretty hilarious in it. When I keep referring to a "BLOODBATH" that's an annual military strategy tournament in L.A. that I fly down to, not an actual bloodbath. Sorry.
This is great. I had some of these when the movie came out. This video is 3 years old so I guess we're not getting a part 2. Shame because I know Kenner made more of these including a John Connor w Motorcycle
Part 2 is definitely on the episode list! It's just... taking me awhile to get new episodes produced. 😕 My wife and I had a kid recently, and it's taken up a lot of my time. But I still have a huge list of episodes planned for this show, and I'm committed to making every single one of them!
I had some of these toys growing up. I had the Power Arm T-800 Terminator, the Techno-Punch Terminator, Battle Damage Terminator (who I called Stomach Hurt Terminator), Blaster T-1000 and other ones... Power Arm Terminator, I got two of... because on one I chewed off his nose. My Techno-Punch Terminator unfortunately, I stupidly put in a halogen light and let it melt because I thought it was made of real metal... I almost started a fire that way. I also had Cyber-Grip from the Future War series... But that was the only one who I had from that line. I know I had more Terminator figures that this video didn't cover over. I remember one Terminator with a yellow top, camo pants and he had a squirt gun function.
i saw on this netflix toy show that they where using the same molds of exisitng figures like wrestlers etc. for the fast and cheap production of new ones, so that might be the reason these figures don't look like t2 at all.
Thanks so much, Dan! I'm so glad you enjoyed this. I'm looking forward to covering more of the classic Terminator toys, video games, foreign releases, and all sorts of other stuff as the show rolls along, so I'm glad to have you along for the ride! Since you liked this one, I think you might dig the episode all about the Remo Rock 'Em Sock 'Em style game: ua-cam.com/video/gbMiLsTcu8M/v-deo.html Have a great day, man!
That silver endoskeleton id say was probably the most accurate original Terminator figure. But I'd say he fits more in the first movie towards the ending.
Definitely! For a series based on T2, it's safe to say that he's probably intended to be a "Future War" figure (too bad they didn't include a skull for him to stand on, haha). But like you're saying, I always thought of him as the Terminator from the first movie.
@@Tfor2show most definitely dude ! I'm also a huge Terminator fan and I also enjoy the T2 video game on my Sega Genesis with use of the Game Genie of course LOL with that you get the true Terminator attributes against all enemies.
I'd have to guess that the answer to "why did they make them look like this" or "why did they incorporate these stupid accessories" is because they had gone into production before the movie was released, and "who cares, kids are dumb, it looks cool, they won't know it's not screen accurate." You're exactly right. Either way, another fantastic episode! Keep 'em coming!
Thanks, man! This one was a real challenge to edit together, but I'm happy with how it turned out. My only regret now is that I realize that I didn't spend a little more time focusing on the card artwork, and I neglected to mention the retail price. Oh well. I'll hit those points in part 2!
@@pointshootfilms3371 And I'm so glad you found the humor in that bit about putting out the fresh carded Blaster T-1000! Haha, I wasn't sure if people would find that as funny as I did.
That's awesome! I feel bad for any kid that didn't have a few of these in their toy box in the 90's, along with some Ninja Turtles, Battle Trolls, and G.I. Joe's. 😂 They were all staples of my childhood anyway! Yeah, that Ultime Terminator is terrific! I look forward to doing an episode on him, along with the rest of the Kenner line!
HA, glad to hear it! I'll admit, after I recorded that, when I was editing the episode together and got to that part, I thought, "jeez, what the hell am I doing?" So I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! 😂
I had the power arm one in 1991 and then again later in 1993 were i used him for wrestling then i moved and lost the figure and didn't get another one many years later when i was older.
@@Tfor2show He was my first SSW world champion and i recreated the match he had before the last mach in the tournament that put him vs the Iron Sheik . I have it up here on youtube
Arnold impression was great. I really enjoyed that video. The missile arm terminator was one of my favourite toys as a kid. I hadn’t seen that thing for years. Good times.
HA, I'm really glad you enjoyed my awful Schwarzi impression. 😂 In this episode I do one that I think is much improved: ua-cam.com/video/ngMi-ktbW2U/v-deo.html And yeah, that Power Arm Terminator was an absolute MUST HAVE for any toy box in the 90's! Simple but very fun.
i had the figures before ever seeing any of the movies, I remember my parents surprised me when I got home from school with two of the figures, the arnold one and t1000, I was sooo stoked lol. good memories :)
Tfor2: the Terminator 2 Show Tfor2: the Terminator 2 Show i think they probably just thought they looked cool tbh. I dont recall asking for these figures, i dont remember the commercials for em either but i was a huge fan of arnold back then so maybe thats why they got it. Also though, i think your missing the liquid t1000 figure, i had it. He had the knife hand like in the movie, its not the same figure as in your video, the one im talking about actually resembled the movie version. And if i remember correctly you could take him apart.
@@ArtofLunatik HAHA! That observation about T-1000 looking like Tackleberry is awesome! I might have to get some of those Police Academy figures and do something fun with this. 🤔
@@ArtofLunatik lunatiksAlterEgo Oh yeah, Exploding T-1000! I'll be covering him in an upcoming episode for sure. There are a lot more Terminator figures that Kenner made. We've got a ways to go! 😎
Oh really? That's no good! Do you mean nightmares about nuclear war, or nightmares about Terminators? For me it was nightmares about Sarah Connor not loving me the way I loved her. Those were the worst.
@@Tfor2show The Terminators. The designed spooked me out. I still get a tiny shock feeling when I see it. But fear eventually made me curious and here I am now, A Termiantor fan! I'm real interested in the lore and how SkyNet thinks.
@@Andrei_867 Cool!! Then you've come to the right place - I have a TON of episodes planned for Tfor2: The Terminator 2 Show. I'm glad to have you in for the ride!
@@TheAtariCreep Haha, I hear you! It would be so easy to build up an army real quick off eBay, but people seem to think these are work triple what they really are, haha. And thanks for the kind words - I'm so glad you enjoyed this! Hoping to film some new content soon, including a look at the NES game, the next wave of the Kenner figure line, as well as a look at some recently unearthed documents on some unreleased Terminator figure prototypes! Stay tuned! 🔥😎👍🏼🔥
i believe they re released these recently didn't they? will you be talking about some of the high end figures that came out later? for instance i have all 3 terminators from the ultimate neca line, they are really detailed and incredible.
Cool video! The Techno-Punch Terminator Endoskeleton was my favorite as a kid. I picked one up on eBay for a good price a couple of years ago. I also have the Power Arm Terminator which I picked up at a convention still sealed for only $5, which is a steal in my opinion, and the NECA version.
Oh wow, you're right, that's a terrific price on the sealed vintage Power Arm! That's definitely one of the most popular of the line... seems like he, Techno-Punch, and John Connor tend to bring the most money. And I'm glad you enjoyed this episode of the show! Honestly I'm kind of embarrassed by this one, compared to the show's current standards, haha. So stay tuned for the other forthcoming episodes all about the Kenner Terminator toy line, because they'll be a lot of fun (not to mention much nicer-looking, haha).
I love this fucking yt channel man! You replied to me in two previous comments but I was to hammered to reply. Please keep the videos coming man. I also had this entire collection of T2 toys. Im a 1985 baby..... I still love T1 the best but I will always love T2. Please man.... keep these awesome fucking videos coming.
Thanks, man!! Seeing this comment is a great start to my day! I was born in late 1984 myself (the same week The Terminator came out!) So we're about the same age. Since you love the original Terminator most, you should check out Terminator1984fan" on Instagram! That's my buddy Michael, and he's the most obsessed T1 fan on the planet. You'll love his stuff! Also, rest assured that I'll be covering plenty of content from the original Terminator film on the show as well. I just haven't gotten into it as much yet because there's SO much more T2 content to cover, and I don't want to blow through all the T1 stuff too fast. Good to hear from you, man!
Wait, that accessory for the T-800 Endo skele-..... erhm... I mean... Techno Punch Terminator was supposed to be a scope?! *I used it like a plasma rifle!*
Actually, I now think a lot of kids did! Believe it or not (even though I had this figure as a kid), for some didn't realize until after I filmed this episode that the scope has a little handle that seems intended for him to hold it in his hand like a gun - but for some reason they don't show that on the instructions! Pretty interesting!
Cool video. I was 4 in 1991 when T2 came out and remember how huge it was and remember the toys being quite popular, no doubt helped by the movie being such a phenomenon. I had many of the Kenner T2 toys back in the day, and while obviously not up to par with the more realistic and movie-accurate NECA toys, they're still awesome. I love how NECA has paid tribute to them by updating the designs. It's so funny back then how you had a lot of R-rated movies that had toylines aimed at kids like Terminator, RoboCop, Alien, Predator, The Toxic Avenger, Rambo, etc. and even some with animated series. Got to wonder if a Terminator cartoon series was ever planned.
Thanks for the comments! Yeah, this was a great toy line. I wish I had more of them as a kid. And yeah, the Neca tribute figures are awesome! My biggest passion is the vintage Terminator stuff, so on Tfor2 we won't often be covering topics of newer merchandise... but we'll definitely be doing an episode or two on Neca's Kenner tribute figures in the future! Also... believe it or not, a Terminator 2 cartoon series actually was planned! It didn't seem to make it very far into the very early planning stages, though... keep your eyes peeled for an episode of Tfor2 all about it in the future!
I look forward to them. The vintage Kenner Terminator toys are still very cool. I'm hoping NECA decides to do a Kromium figure down the line, I always liked the design of that one and it definitely deserves an updated, modernized look from NECA. I had no idea of a T2 cartoon series back then. I'm curious as to how it may have been had it happened. Definitely look forward to it. I wonder why it never happened?
@@BonecrusherT800 Oh man! I have to admit that I don't quite share your appreciation for Kromium, but I would LOVE to see a Neca tribute version! That would be wild!
Who knows if it's planned for a later release. It'd be cool to see NECA pay homage to all of the Kenner Terminators at some point. I bet they could not only give us an awesome and more realistic Kromium, but also improve his often malfunctioning action feature. It's doubtful they'll attempt the Bio-Flesh Regenerator and the two vehicles Kenner made, but it'd be cool to see. Personally, the Kenner tribute I most want to see NECA attempt is the Secret Weapon Terminator. That one was my favorite as a kid, purely for the minigun accessory. A Terminator just doesn't feel complete without a minigun.
I share your love for this movie. I was 6,and I had all 4 of these figures. I never realized till now how bad that T-1000 figure was. I used to pretend his rocket launcher was a jet pack like the rocketeer, this gave him another edge when I would battle with him. Enjoying the channel so far 👍
Oh wow, a T-1000 with a jetpack! That's a pretty creative idea. Better than the rocket launcher, haha. Who knows, maybe I would like this figure more if I had it as a kid, because then I'd have some nostalgia for it, you know? Because I always did love his motorcycle cop look. I'm glad you're enjoying the show! The next episode is going to be all about the Terminator's shotgun from T2. Should be a fun one!
Part 2 will DEFINITELY happen! 😀 Eventually on Tfor2 I'll be covering every piece of vintage Terminator and T2 merchandise ever made. I'm just spreading the topics out evenly so that I don't burn through all the fun stuff (like toys and video games) first. Right now I'm working on a special in-depth look at the Terminator's Winchester 1887 shotgun from T2! 💥
@@Tfor2show yes!! I'm so glad your doing a part 2 bud. I'm a massive fan of t2 and started a collection of these toys a few years ago. Also I've recently purchased a SNES just to play LJN's version of T2. My dream would be to have the t2 pinball machine or the arcade machine with the two uzi's for my man cave 😎
i just bought a LOT of 4 (or 5???) Terminator Kenner figures. I have a question, did the Battle Damage Terminator come in a black shirt variant, or did someone paint the one i'm getting, or was it used in a forgotten line as a repaint (like Robin Hood using Ewok's Village)
Hmm... A few of these figures were re-released later on with different paint schemes or sculpt modifications, but Battle Damage Terminator was never released with a black shirt. 🤔 He WAS reissued with a camouflage-painted shirt (and a slightly modified sculpt) as "Hot Blast Terminator" in the T2-3D line, though.
Figures based on the 1991 film "The Penetrator." (They don't actually exist - it's just something we like to joke about. Penetrator is an adult film parody of The Terminator, haha.)
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. If you like Terminator 2, I think you'll love some of my other episodes - I especially recommend the Cigar Biker episode, and the Final Battle Fighting Game episodes. Also, I'll be launching season 2 soon, with a brand new set! Stay tuned, man! 😎👍🏼
@@Tfor2show sweet. Btw my name is Dan Arena from Inside the booth, I'm not the only one on our channel. But we love to interview other youtubers and would love to have you on sometime if you are interested.
No sir! But I am VERY much looking forward to covering that playset some day! You may be thinking of the episode I did on the Terminator 2 Final Battle fighting game by Remco! ua-cam.com/video/gbMiLsTcu8M/v-deo.html
😅 my brother got the T-1000 cop as a birthday present from a friend. We thought the "butt rockets" were hilarious 😂 we joked that if you ate too much taco bell, you would start shooting butt rockets like the terminator 😂😂 The instructions were lame. Best way to launch these rockets was to insert into the slots, reload the pants back into closed position, and then give that right arm a good crank. The pants swung up and the rockets came flying out with the momentum. Fun times! LoL! Butt Rockets 😂😂😂
Oh man, I hadn't even consider pre-loading the rockets like that! That's brilliant! Can't believe I didn't think of that. one of these days when I do a "Part Two" and continue discussing the figure from this line, I'll definitely do a re-cap on these first four, and I'll try your method! Also, I just had some Mexican food for lunch. I'll have to wait and see if I develop a case of the butt rockets, haha. 😂
7:45 you monster!!! How dare you oppose 90's packaging! Naw man just joking. Great vid! Also, do you think it's okay to use the Kenner exoskeleton for a live action Terminator fan film moving using stop motion, or use something from NECA?
Haha, I was waiting for someone to shame me for opening up a vintage collectible! You're the first one! Thank you for that. And don't worry, it won't be the first time it happens on the show... 😁 As far as stop-motion... I can't wait to see what you make! Depending on what you're making, either the vintage Kenner or modern NECA figures would work, but obviously with the modern NECA figures you'll get a much more accurate sculpt with more detail, and most important, you'll get WAY more articulation.
Tfor2: the Terminator 2 Show Thanks! I thought of using the Kenner model because it's cheaper. Still, like you said, there more accurate and are more posable for stop motion. I guess I will have to safe at least $25 to buy at least ONE Terminator exoskeleton but one the bright side, my local Target sells NECA figures so maybe they'll stock some up. At this point, my fan film seems to be going no where as I still have not gotten the auditions for actors good enough to portray John Conner and Kyle Reese as the film takes place 2 hours before John sends Reese to 1984. It MAY be released by December of 2020 or January of 2021. I am also afraid about UA-cam's new algorithm for next year. I guess we can learn something from T2: "The future is not set, our fate is what make for ourselves" -John Conner, 1995
@Tfor2show My favorite is probably the power arm terminator. But I have to wonder why he didn't come with a grenade launcher? The figure has the grenade bealt molded on him. The T-800 only uses 3 firearms in terminator 2, a short gun, a gatling gun, and a grenade launcher. The toy line, for some reason, only ever made the shot gun and galling gun but not the grenade launcher. The power arm terminator would have been the perfect figure for it to have come with. A missed opportunity, in my opinion. Okay, he uses a pistol to shatter the T-1000 at the end of the movie, but I don't count that. Luckily, I guess they nowadays make really accurate but really expensive figures of the T-800 that do have all of the guns from the movie.
Yeah, we're really spoiled with the amazing figures made by Neca these days! And I agree - a grenade launcher with Power Arm Terminator would have been amazing! But I suppose Kenner thought they had it covered with the rocket-firing arm.
Another fantastic episode, Uncle Casey! I still have all of my Kenner T2 figures. They were my favorite as a kid and still are. Arnold made for the perfect action figure and it really showed. Admittedly, I'm a bigger fan of the Future War line of figures, and of the later released Hot White Hot T-1000. That reminded me so much more of the film than Hot Blast which did kind of suck. Do you remember that the T-1000 was such a hard figure to find though? I wonder what a Sarah Connor figure would have looked like under the Kenner line? Would it have been along the lines of what they had of Ellie Sattler and Ellen Ripley for the JP and Aliens line? Would they have doubled down on Linda Hamilton and gave her muscles? The things we'll never know until Uncle Casey offers his views! Hahaha. Once again, well done, and... hasta lasagna, don't get any on ya. Now which 90s movie is that from?? =D
Thanks for the kind feedback, Steven! I would love it if one day some old 90's official Kenner concept artwork or prototype sculpts for a Sarah Connor figure would show up... "Hasta Lasagna, don't get any on ya..." That sounds so familiar! But without cheating and Googling it, I can't name the movie... but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna feel like an idiot when you name it!
I always wanted the endo skeleton but could never find it. But I had that terrible T1000. I thought it was a woman... And it fired missles out of it's butt!? I thought the launch up was suppose to shoot them.
Exactly! After filming this episode and playing with it for the first time, I started to think that that was probably the intention of the toy engineers: that when the missile compartment popped up, it would fling the missiles. So when they realized that it didn't work, instead of ditching the design, they just added instructions telling kids to flick the missiles out. That's my thought, anyway. I'm probably going to mention this as a little follow-up during the introduction of the Part 2 video of the Kenner T2 toy line.
@@Tfor2show I think so because I wouldn't have read the instructions and just assumed it launched them and they always failed to really go anywhere. Plus it looked like crap too so I hated that figure ha ha ha. I know I have at least the Yellow water squirt one from the next batch, but never found that dang endo...too awesome and sold out I suppose. Never saw any of the GOOD T-1000 either so I will be excited to see them. Might have to hunt them down after you show the part 2.
@@MBXfilms Yeah, for sure! You shouldn't have too much trouble finally getting that endoskeleton. They're always on ebay, and if you're patient, you can get them pretty cheap. 🔥👍🏼🔥
I never knew this channel existed! The scope/gun accessory thing .. I never got why they wouldn't've gaven him laser rifles. But one crime I really find to be unforgivable, I wish to Christ they would have made a Sarah Connor figure! Make her in that outfit that she wore to go kill Dyson. What the Hell, Kenner?! But to me, from what we got, the only figure really worth collecting is the T-800. Love Terminator Love the channel Thanks for the video
Hey! Welcome aboard! Making this show has been a lot of fun so far, and I have a TON of episodes planned, so stick around! Regarding the Sarah Connor comment - I agree 100%. By the time the series was done, they made probably thirty DIFFERENT versions of the Terminator... And not ONE Sarah Connor! There's absolutely no way that the vast majority of kids wouldn't have wanted a Sarah Connor instead of a seventh or eighth Terminator figure. What a shame.
Hopefully fairly soon! My wife and I just brought our second kid home, so I'll be a bit preoccupied with that for the next few weeks, but I plan to get the show back in production ASAP. The next episode will be all about T2 on the NES, followed by part 2 of our coverage of Kenner's T2 action figure line... And after that, we have some very special never-before-seen documents pertaining to the T2 action figure line that I think people will find VERY interesting... stick around! 💪🏻😎
@@Tfor2show Whew! taking care of two kids must be hard! And also t2 nes! Heard it's not good, not bad. have a nice day! (Btw it's night here in South Korea just wanted to let you know.)

@@ioncewasmikey I do have a fresh can that hasn't been opened yet! But the compound was just a substance called "alginate," which you can still purchase online in all sorts of colors, so I'll have all sorts of fun with it. 😄
@@Tfor2show Oh wow, that's cool! Haha you're tearing down the walls of my childhood reality with this alginate business 😂 but making alternate colored Arnolds would have been so fun!
Hey there! Not a weird question at all! Yep, these are in the same scale. From what I recall, pretty much all Kenner's action figures through the 90's we're in the same scale... Like around 5", if I remember correctly?
Ok cool man I asked cause the figure with him in a wife beater looks close enough to him from predator so I was gunna use him as a dutch for my display. Thanks again man and keep up the great work brotha!
@@michaelbuck1471 Oh wow, that's an excellent idea!! I can't believe I never thought of that - I had that figure as a kid, and I had some of the Predators... Never thought of using him as Dutch, but that's a terrific idea! You could just paint his shirt black and be good to go!
@@michaelbuck1471 Also, fun fact in case you weren't aware - the Scorpion Alien has the same "exploding" mechanism as the Exploding T-1000 figure (when I continue my coverage of this toy line in the future, I'll be comparing the two of them on the show).
In addition to being absolutely stupid & laughable, the T-1000's action feature is also inaccurate to the movie because Arnie said that the T-1000 can't make itself into guns or missile launchers because they're too complex & have chemicals & moving parts.
@@nwaman88 Believe it or not, it'll be coming up soon! The show has been postponed as life has gotten in the way of production a bit... but I hope to be back at it soon. The next episode will be all about the Terminator 2 game for the NES, and the episode after that will finally be part 2 of the Terminator 2 action figure line! Thanks for watching! 🔥👍🏼🔥
Parts 2 and 3 and more are definitely in the pipeline, along with episodes about the other various T2 toys, video games, comic books, and more! I'm spreading out those topics so that I don't burn through the fun stuff all at once, haha. Right now I'm working on an episode all about the Terminator's legendary shotgun from T2! I think people are gonna dig it.
Oh wow! I'm so glad you're enjoying the show! There are some Terminator items that I've been trying to acquire from Argentina, so if you ever think you can help me out, feel free to contact me! 😎👍🏼
Err wait a Tic did The movie point this out about T 1000? Terminator: The T-1000 can't form complex machines. Guns and explosives have chemicals in them. Moving parts. It doesn't work that way, but it can form solid metal shapes. Well Kenner disagress he can do that now.
@@Dim4323 Haha, well if I re-uploaded the episodes every time there was something I could improve, I would be re-uploading the same old episodes every two or three weeks. 😂 But in the future when I do the next episode on the action figure line, and do a recap of the figures we've covered so far, I definitely look forward to borrowing this idea! 😁 Thanks again, man.

But... ever since my first kid was born last year, I work on the show a few minutes at a time instead of a few days at a time, haha. And this next episode is extra delayed, because I've been spending a lot of time making sever improvements to the set that will HOPEFULLY make filming faster and more efficient, so I can start making and releasing episodes a little more often. We'll see! Either way, I plan to continue releasing episodes for a very long time! Glad to have you along for the ride. 🔥👍🏼🔥
@@Tfor2show I also often wonder what if the T1000 had been played by Christopher Lloyd. Because that would've made T2 another movie Chris did in 1991 where he could've said, "I WAS FROZEN TODAY"
@@justinratcliffe947 Absolutely! Although I must admit that it's been a very, very long time, and I don't remember it well. I mostly remember that Christopher Lloyd quote from a VHS we had when I was a kid... it was a VHS of some other movie, but the trailer for Suburban Commando was on it, and it featured that quote. I always enjoyed that.
I remember having probably the whole line, but the t1000 motorcycle cop seemed like a police academy cartoon character, especially next ti the exploding one.
Oh wow, that's a great comparison! You're absolutely right. I can't believe I never noticed that, becauae we were also familiar with the Police Academy line growing up. Great comment!
Thanks, man! Since this one I've upgraded to an all-new set, and cranked up the production value. I'm almost finished with the next episode, which is ALL about the Terminator's Winchester 1887 shotgun from T2!
Be sure to stick around for a post-credits followup on this one!
i know it's kinda off topic but do anybody know of a good website to watch new movies online?
@@reneford9943 😂😂😂
I love this toy line. Can still remember when they first appeared on the shelves in my local woolworths. I did sell them when I got to my teens but as an adult, I've almost completed the set. Only a few left to get. Mostly variants.
This may be the 3rd time I've watched this video. Fuckin love this channel!
@@dgambo1985 Oh wow, thanks so much for the kind words! I'm so glad you're enjoying the channel. I'm really hoping I can find the time to get back to working on new episodes soon. In the meantime, best of luck completing your collection!
I had the Power Arm Terminator figure when I was a kid and my Brother had one that i believe was a villian or something and he had this kind of grabber hand that you could grip things with. I think I also had the endoskeleton with the glowing red eyes as well.
@@CraigTodd-x9d The villain you're describing sounds like Cyber-Grip! This toyline had a few different weird characters like that, which is unfortunate because those guys might have been interesting, but the fact that Kenner choice to concoct those guys and make about thirty variations of Uncle Bob instead of making one single figure of Sarah Connor is kind of a bummer. But that was the state of action figures in the 90's.
PS. Just realized that the audio you played while you were opening the T-1000 package were actually the yells of the guy who got his shoulder stabbed at the biker bar. Brilliant 😆
Haha, I'm so glad you caught that! That was a lot of fun to put in there.
hahahahaha that Pull it out snippet is funny as hell you really done it hahaha
I love when people catch that! 😂 I'll be using that knife for a lot more stuff in the future, and whenever I do, you can expect to hear the "pull it out!" guy. 😂
Fantastic vid bruh. I had most of these. That shot where he watches over them all night is a great one.
Thanks man! Yeah, I love that. For some reason I didn't really understand that that shot was illustrating that he was just standing there motionless for like six hours while they slept, until I was a little older. But I love that shot. And I love how Sarah is sitting there awake for awhile, just watching him because she doesn't trust him. Very cool.
Absolutely loved the Kenner Terminator toys especially the power arm Terminator. Had these four but found the T-1000 figure more like an ornament!
Ha, yeah! That's a good way to describe him!
The whole: "Ladies butts" thing is a legit reconstruction of Arnold sneaking up on Linda onset. 🤭
#TeeToo
@@Tfor2show #TeeToo - This deserves more likes. 😆
Worth the wait!
Thank you, Uncle Casey!
In my country, we had the Kenner toys under the Jocsa (Reseller, I guess?) brand. T2, Rambo, Ghostbusters and the like.
Plus, Jocsa normally bundled some toys with VHS cassette tapes. The T2 one came with a sweet BTS and Teaser/Trailers for the movie.
I have I somewhere, I might digitize it.
Awesome! Yeah, Jocsa was licensed through Kenner to make the toys in Argentina, and they made a bunch of other Terminator items as well, which weren't made anywhere else! I look forward to doing some episodes on the Jocsa products in the future. Very interesting stuff!
The Blaster T-1000 head looks like Lou Ferrigno who played The Incredible Hulk. They probably reused the mold, it happened a lot.
Felt a little bit of envy watching this. I wanted T2 toys back in the day but a lot of toys weren't available in my country back in the '80s and early '90s. If you wanted to make this Dutch kid cry, you just had show me cool toys and a "not available in the Benelux" sticker.
Oh man! That's sad to hear. Were you still tempted by the toy commercials in the Netherlands, regardless of availability?
@@Tfor2show Oh yes, that's the cruel part. We had the commercials and those neat little catalogues listing all the action figures, vehicles and what not. You'd think they would edit the commercials to omit unavailable items but nah, they just put a disclaimer saying not all items were available. If you really wanted those items, they had to be imported from Germany, France or the UK. There's a lot of toys I missed out on, though, looking back I can't really complain about the toys I did get.
@@blafhoest Oh! So you're saying that they DID import the Terminator 2 toyline to the Netherlands, just not the entire line? Like they would only import a few select figures to sell in stores?
@@Tfor2show Some figures were available, yes. For instance, from the first Terminator 2 toy line we would maybe get John Connor, Ultimate Terminator and one of the T-1000s. That's 3 figures out of 14 total. And even then they were overpriced and only available at the biggest chain of toy stores. It was usually the rich and/or spoiled kids who had the cool toys.
@@blafhoest Oh wow... that's sad as hell, man! I can see why those commercials would have been torture.
I was 16 when T2 came out, so I wasn't getting action figures anymore but during the '80s I made a T-800 that kinda looked like Arnold by Frankensteining(real word?)pieces from different G.I.JOES together. He'd take outta buncha JOES and Star Wars dudes until someone hit him with some super heavy firepower. On another note, I gave this video it's 13th thumbs up so that means I can't walk under any ladders or step on any cracks in the pavement for the rest of the week... totally worth it. Cheers!🍻
Haha, thank you for the support! And thanks for sharing that story! I don't suppose your custom T-800 still exists in an old toybox back home or something? I'd love to see photos of it!
@@Tfor2show, I just remembered I would replace the T-800's robot arm with a buff human arm and pretend he was Dutch from PREDATOR... does that mean he's "Double Dutch"? Anyway, negative on acquiring target visualization of the T-800. I ran off and joined the Army and while I was gone my evil stepmother sold all my action figures inna garage sale. They'd be worth a fortune today and she sold them for a quarter each. I don't have any Terminator stuff, but in my latest video I disassemble my .45, which is the same caliber Arnie used to shatter the T-1000... so I got that going for me, which is nice.
"Double Dutch," nice! 🤣 I'm gonna have to see your video disassembling that 45. And thank you for your service, by the way!
@@Tfor2show, my cat's pretty hilarious in it. When I keep referring to a "BLOODBATH" that's an annual military strategy tournament in L.A. that I fly down to, not an actual bloodbath. Sorry.
@@warpartyattheoutpost4987 Haha! Fantastic.
This is great. I had some of these when the movie came out. This video is 3 years old so I guess we're not getting a part 2. Shame because I know Kenner made more of these including a John Connor w Motorcycle
Part 2 is definitely on the episode list! It's just... taking me awhile to get new episodes produced. 😕 My wife and I had a kid recently, and it's taken up a lot of my time. But I still have a huge list of episodes planned for this show, and I'm committed to making every single one of them!
Congratulations on the new addition to your family. I hope you are training him to lead the future resistance!
(Or her)
I had some of these toys growing up. I had the Power Arm T-800 Terminator, the Techno-Punch Terminator, Battle Damage Terminator (who I called Stomach Hurt Terminator), Blaster T-1000 and other ones... Power Arm Terminator, I got two of... because on one I chewed off his nose. My Techno-Punch Terminator unfortunately, I stupidly put in a halogen light and let it melt because I thought it was made of real metal... I almost started a fire that way.
I also had Cyber-Grip from the Future War series... But that was the only one who I had from that line. I know I had more Terminator figures that this video didn't cover over. I remember one Terminator with a yellow top, camo pants and he had a squirt gun function.
Awesome! Those are some classics, and I'll definitely be covering all of them in detail as Tfor2 rolls along. Stick around! 😎👍🏼
i saw on this netflix toy show that they where using the same molds of exisitng figures like wrestlers etc. for the fast and cheap production of new ones, so that might be the reason these figures don't look like t2 at all.
Loved the video! Great job! I remember some of those when I was a kid. Brings back so many memories!
Thanks so much, Dan! I'm so glad you enjoyed this. I'm looking forward to covering more of the classic Terminator toys, video games, foreign releases, and all sorts of other stuff as the show rolls along, so I'm glad to have you along for the ride!
Since you liked this one, I think you might dig the episode all about the Remo Rock 'Em Sock 'Em style game:
ua-cam.com/video/gbMiLsTcu8M/v-deo.html
Have a great day, man!
That silver endoskeleton id say was probably the most accurate original Terminator figure. But I'd say he fits more in the first movie towards the ending.
Definitely! For a series based on T2, it's safe to say that he's probably intended to be a "Future War" figure (too bad they didn't include a skull for him to stand on, haha). But like you're saying, I always thought of him as the Terminator from the first movie.
@@Tfor2show most definitely dude ! I'm also a huge Terminator fan and I also enjoy the T2 video game on my Sega Genesis with use of the Game Genie of course LOL with that you get the true Terminator attributes against all enemies.
@@mattmaverick703 Ahh, very nice! Probably gives you the feeling of being a real Terminator, haha. Game Genie should have advertised with that. 😂
@@Tfor2show yes unlimited weapon power and being able to be shot with no weaknesses
@@mattmaverick703 YES! Now that sounds more like a Terminator! 💪🏼
6:47 Looks like the real Key 1000 to me 😂 Also, I don't see enough appreciation for that Schwarzenegger imitation. Cracked me up to hell 🤣
Haha, thank you! I'm glad somebody out there enjoyed it... 🤣
I'd have to guess that the answer to "why did they make them look like this" or "why did they incorporate these stupid accessories" is because they had gone into production before the movie was released, and "who cares, kids are dumb, it looks cool, they won't know it's not screen accurate." You're exactly right.
Either way, another fantastic episode! Keep 'em coming!
Also, I laughed out loud when you opened the T-1000 package, and then slowly set out another one. Comedy successful.
Thanks, man! This one was a real challenge to edit together, but I'm happy with how it turned out. My only regret now is that I realize that I didn't spend a little more time focusing on the card artwork, and I neglected to mention the retail price. Oh well. I'll hit those points in part 2!
@@pointshootfilms3371 And I'm so glad you found the humor in that bit about putting out the fresh carded Blaster T-1000! Haha, I wasn't sure if people would find that as funny as I did.
Loved these toys when i was a kid. Still have some. And i have an unopened Ultimate Terminator.
That's awesome! I feel bad for any kid that didn't have a few of these in their toy box in the 90's, along with some Ninja Turtles, Battle Trolls, and G.I. Joe's. 😂 They were all staples of my childhood anyway!
Yeah, that Ultime Terminator is terrific! I look forward to doing an episode on him, along with the rest of the Kenner line!
@@Tfor2show i posted a video with my Ultimate Terminator on insta this morning actually.
Dam strait on every point. But am I the only one how notes that t 1000 is firieing rockets from his ass checks.
Haha, he's quite the ass blaster, that's for sure. 😄
The Arnold impression when you played with the action figures was so funny. I rewatched that part over and over lol
HA, glad to hear it! I'll admit, after I recorded that, when I was editing the episode together and got to that part, I thought, "jeez, what the hell am I doing?" So I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! 😂
When’s part 2? 😢
I had the power arm one in 1991 and then again later in 1993 were i used him for wrestling then i moved and lost the figure and didn't get another one many years later when i was older.
Did you ever put the strap on him?? 😀

LOVED these as a kid!
It was a great toy line, that's for sure! I'm really looking forward to covering more of it in future episodes. 😎👍🏼
Arnold impression was great. I really enjoyed that video. The missile arm terminator was one of my favourite toys as a kid. I hadn’t seen that thing for years. Good times.
HA, I'm really glad you enjoyed my awful Schwarzi impression. 😂
In this episode I do one that I think is much improved: ua-cam.com/video/ngMi-ktbW2U/v-deo.html
And yeah, that Power Arm Terminator was an absolute MUST HAVE for any toy box in the 90's! Simple but very fun.
i had the figures before ever seeing any of the movies, I remember my parents surprised me when I got home from school with two of the figures, the arnold one and t1000, I was sooo stoked lol. good memories :)
Ha, that's awesome! Had you seen the commercials and asked for them? Or did your parents just think they looked cool and bought them on a whim?
Tfor2: the Terminator 2 Show Tfor2: the Terminator 2 Show i think they probably just thought they looked cool tbh. I dont recall asking for these figures, i dont remember the commercials for em either but i was a huge fan of arnold back then so maybe thats why they got it. Also though, i think your missing the liquid t1000 figure, i had it. He had the knife hand like in the movie, its not the same figure as in your video, the one im talking about actually resembled the movie version. And if i remember correctly you could take him apart.
Tfor2: the Terminator 2 Show the t1000 figure in your video reminds me of tackleberry from police academy lol
@@ArtofLunatik HAHA! That observation about T-1000 looking like Tackleberry is awesome! I might have to get some of those Police Academy figures and do something fun with this. 🤔
@@ArtofLunatik lunatiksAlterEgo Oh yeah, Exploding T-1000! I'll be covering him in an upcoming episode for sure. There are a lot more Terminator figures that Kenner made. We've got a ways to go! 😎
Everyone as a kid : plays with terminator toys

Oh really? That's no good! Do you mean nightmares about nuclear war, or nightmares about Terminators?
For me it was nightmares about Sarah Connor not loving me the way I loved her. Those were the worst.
@@Tfor2show The Terminators. The designed spooked me out. I still get a tiny shock feeling when I see it.

I army build the T-800 fig. I have 8, but that is because I am stubborn in only paying $5 for them. LMAO. Great video, man.
@@TheAtariCreep Haha, I hear you! It would be so easy to build up an army real quick off eBay, but people seem to think these are work triple what they really are, haha. And thanks for the kind words - I'm so glad you enjoyed this! Hoping to film some new content soon, including a look at the NES game, the next wave of the Kenner figure line, as well as a look at some recently unearthed documents on some unreleased Terminator figure prototypes! Stay tuned! 🔥😎👍🏼🔥
i believe they re released these recently didn't they? will you be talking about some of the high end figures that came out later? for instance i have all 3 terminators from the ultimate neca line, they are really detailed and incredible.
You know, the original plan was to only discuss classic stuff, but I'm thinking about doing an episode on those eventually as well. We'll see!
I'm still waiting for Part 2 and the Bootleg videos....
Cool video! The Techno-Punch Terminator Endoskeleton was my favorite as a kid. I picked one up on eBay for a good price a couple of years ago. I also have the Power Arm Terminator which I picked up at a convention still sealed for only $5, which is a steal in my opinion, and the NECA version.
Oh wow, you're right, that's a terrific price on the sealed vintage Power Arm! That's definitely one of the most popular of the line... seems like he, Techno-Punch, and John Connor tend to bring the most money. And I'm glad you enjoyed this episode of the show! Honestly I'm kind of embarrassed by this one, compared to the show's current standards, haha. So stay tuned for the other forthcoming episodes all about the Kenner Terminator toy line, because they'll be a lot of fun (not to mention much nicer-looking, haha).
I love this fucking yt channel man! You replied to me in two previous comments but I was to hammered to reply. Please keep the videos coming man. I also had this entire collection of T2 toys. Im a 1985 baby..... I still love T1 the best but I will always love T2. Please man.... keep these awesome fucking videos coming.
Thanks, man!! Seeing this comment is a great start to my day! I was born in late 1984 myself (the same week The Terminator came out!) So we're about the same age.
Since you love the original Terminator most, you should check out Terminator1984fan" on Instagram! That's my buddy Michael, and he's the most obsessed T1 fan on the planet. You'll love his stuff!
Also, rest assured that I'll be covering plenty of content from the original Terminator film on the show as well. I just haven't gotten into it as much yet because there's SO much more T2 content to cover, and I don't want to blow through all the T1 stuff too fast. Good to hear from you, man!
Wait, that accessory for the T-800 Endo skele-..... erhm... I mean... Techno Punch Terminator was supposed to be a scope?! *I used it like a plasma rifle!*
Actually, I now think a lot of kids did! Believe it or not (even though I had this figure as a kid), for some didn't realize until after I filmed this episode that the scope has a little handle that seems intended for him to hold it in his hand like a gun - but for some reason they don't show that on the instructions! Pretty interesting!
Cool video. I was 4 in 1991 when T2 came out and remember how huge it was and remember the toys being quite popular, no doubt helped by the movie being such a phenomenon. I had many of the Kenner T2 toys back in the day, and while obviously not up to par with the more realistic and movie-accurate NECA toys, they're still awesome. I love how NECA has paid tribute to them by updating the designs. It's so funny back then how you had a lot of R-rated movies that had toylines aimed at kids like Terminator, RoboCop, Alien, Predator, The Toxic Avenger, Rambo, etc. and even some with animated series. Got to wonder if a Terminator cartoon series was ever planned.
Thanks for the comments! Yeah, this was a great toy line. I wish I had more of them as a kid. And yeah, the Neca tribute figures are awesome! My biggest passion is the vintage Terminator stuff, so on Tfor2 we won't often be covering topics of newer merchandise... but we'll definitely be doing an episode or two on Neca's Kenner tribute figures in the future!
Also... believe it or not, a Terminator 2 cartoon series actually was planned! It didn't seem to make it very far into the very early planning stages, though... keep your eyes peeled for an episode of Tfor2 all about it in the future!
I look forward to them. The vintage Kenner Terminator toys are still very cool. I'm hoping NECA decides to do a Kromium figure down the line, I always liked the design of that one and it definitely deserves an updated, modernized look from NECA.
I had no idea of a T2 cartoon series back then. I'm curious as to how it may have been had it happened. Definitely look forward to it. I wonder why it never happened?
@@BonecrusherT800 Oh man! I have to admit that I don't quite share your appreciation for Kromium, but I would LOVE to see a Neca tribute version! That would be wild!
Who knows if it's planned for a later release. It'd be cool to see NECA pay homage to all of the Kenner Terminators at some point. I bet they could not only give us an awesome and more realistic Kromium, but also improve his often malfunctioning action feature. It's doubtful they'll attempt the Bio-Flesh Regenerator and the two vehicles Kenner made, but it'd be cool to see. Personally, the Kenner tribute I most want to see NECA attempt is the Secret Weapon Terminator. That one was my favorite as a kid, purely for the minigun accessory. A Terminator just doesn't feel complete without a minigun.
@@BonecrusherT800 Oh man, absolutely! A Neca tribute of Secret Weapon Terminator would look awesome.
I share your love for this movie. I was 6,and I had all 4 of these figures. I never realized till now how bad that T-1000 figure was. I used to pretend his rocket launcher was a jet pack like the rocketeer, this gave him another edge when I would battle with him. Enjoying the channel so far 👍
Oh wow, a T-1000 with a jetpack! That's a pretty creative idea. Better than the rocket launcher, haha. Who knows, maybe I would like this figure more if I had it as a kid, because then I'd have some nostalgia for it, you know? Because I always did love his motorcycle cop look.
I'm glad you're enjoying the show! The next episode is going to be all about the Terminator's shotgun from T2. Should be a fun one!
Loved this, still have a ton of these figures and picked up a bio flesh regenerator the other day complete in box too. Any update on a part 2?
Part 2 will DEFINITELY happen! 😀 Eventually on Tfor2 I'll be covering every piece of vintage Terminator and T2 merchandise ever made. I'm just spreading the topics out evenly so that I don't burn through all the fun stuff (like toys and video games) first. Right now I'm working on a special in-depth look at the Terminator's Winchester 1887 shotgun from T2! 💥
@@Tfor2show yes!! I'm so glad your doing a part 2 bud. I'm a massive fan of t2 and started a collection of these toys a few years ago.

@@elontusk7565 Ah man, same here - especially the pinball machine! I would absolutely love to have one of those!
I have a "battle damage Terminator"
Nice! My favorite!
@@Tfor2show I don't have the shotgun or the front part that pops off.
i just bought a LOT of 4 (or 5???) Terminator Kenner figures. I have a question, did the Battle Damage Terminator come in a black shirt variant, or did someone paint the one i'm getting, or was it used in a forgotten line as a repaint (like Robin Hood using Ewok's Village)
Hmm... A few of these figures were re-released later on with different paint schemes or sculpt modifications, but Battle Damage Terminator was never released with a black shirt. 🤔 He WAS reissued with a camouflage-painted shirt (and a slightly modified sculpt) as "Hot Blast Terminator" in the T2-3D line, though.
Looking forward to see the Penetrator figures.
I have to find them first. VERY rare, and very valuable!
What are the penetrator figures?
Figures based on the 1991 film "The Penetrator."
(They don't actually exist - it's just something we like to joke about. Penetrator is an adult film parody of The Terminator, haha.)

Thank you, ma'am!
😅 my brother got the T-1000 cop as a birthday present from a friend. We thought the "butt rockets" were hilarious 😂 we joked that if you ate too much taco bell, you would start shooting butt rockets like the terminator 😂😂
The instructions were lame. Best way to launch these rockets was to insert into the slots, reload the pants back into closed position, and then give that right arm a good crank. The pants swung up and the rockets came flying out with the momentum. Fun times!
LoL! Butt Rockets 😂😂😂
Oh man, I hadn't even consider pre-loading the rockets like that! That's brilliant! Can't believe I didn't think of that. one of these days when I do a "Part Two" and continue discussing the figure from this line, I'll definitely do a re-cap on these first four, and I'll try your method!
Also, I just had some Mexican food for lunch. I'll have to wait and see if I develop a case of the butt rockets, haha. 😂
@@Tfor2show 🤣🤣🤣
7:45 you monster!!! How dare you oppose 90's packaging! Naw man just joking. Great vid! Also, do you think it's okay to use the Kenner exoskeleton for a live action Terminator fan film moving using stop motion, or use something from NECA?
Haha, I was waiting for someone to shame me for opening up a vintage collectible! You're the first one! Thank you for that. And don't worry, it won't be the first time it happens on the show... 😁
As far as stop-motion... I can't wait to see what you make! Depending on what you're making, either the vintage Kenner or modern NECA figures would work, but obviously with the modern NECA figures you'll get a much more accurate sculpt with more detail, and most important, you'll get WAY more articulation.
Tfor2: the Terminator 2 Show Thanks! I thought of using the Kenner model because it's cheaper. Still, like you said, there more accurate and are more posable for stop motion. I guess I will have to safe at least $25 to buy at least ONE Terminator exoskeleton but one the bright side, my local Target sells NECA figures so maybe they'll stock some up. At this point, my fan film seems to be going no where as I still have not gotten the auditions for actors good enough to portray John Conner and Kyle Reese as the film takes place 2 hours before John sends Reese to 1984. It MAY be released by December of 2020 or January of 2021. I am also afraid about UA-cam's new algorithm for next year. I guess we can learn something from T2:
"The future is not set, our fate is what make for ourselves"
-John Conner, 1995
@@zabdielvanegas7397 Best of luck! I can't wait to see what you come up with. Keep in touch!
Are you going to do a video on the repaint future war figures that were released a year later in 92?
Absolutely! In time I plan to cover pretty much every piece of classic Terminator and T2 merch released during the 80's and 90's!
@Tfor2show My favorite is probably the power arm terminator. But I have to wonder why he didn't come with a grenade launcher? The figure has the grenade bealt molded on him. The T-800 only uses 3 firearms in terminator 2, a short gun, a gatling gun, and a grenade launcher. The toy line, for some reason, only ever made the shot gun and galling gun but not the grenade launcher. The power arm terminator would have been the perfect figure for it to have come with. A missed opportunity, in my opinion. Okay, he uses a pistol to shatter the T-1000 at the end of the movie, but I don't count that.
Luckily, I guess they nowadays make really accurate but really expensive figures of the T-800 that do have all of the guns from the movie.
Yeah, we're really spoiled with the amazing figures made by Neca these days! And I agree - a grenade launcher with Power Arm Terminator would have been amazing! But I suppose Kenner thought they had it covered with the rocket-firing arm.
Another fantastic episode, Uncle Casey! I still have all of my Kenner T2 figures. They were my favorite as a kid and still are. Arnold made for the perfect action figure and it really showed. Admittedly, I'm a bigger fan of the Future War line of figures, and of the later released Hot White Hot T-1000. That reminded me so much more of the film than Hot Blast which did kind of suck. Do you remember that the T-1000 was such a hard figure to find though?
I wonder what a Sarah Connor figure would have looked like under the Kenner line? Would it have been along the lines of what they had of Ellie Sattler and Ellen Ripley for the JP and Aliens line? Would they have doubled down on Linda Hamilton and gave her muscles? The things we'll never know until Uncle Casey offers his views! Hahaha.
Once again, well done, and... hasta lasagna, don't get any on ya. Now which 90s movie is that from?? =D
Thanks for the kind feedback, Steven! I would love it if one day some old 90's official Kenner concept artwork or prototype sculpts for a Sarah Connor figure would show up...
"Hasta Lasagna, don't get any on ya..." That sounds so familiar! But without cheating and Googling it, I can't name the movie... but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna feel like an idiot when you name it!
The binoculars comment cracked me up
😂
I always wanted the endo skeleton but could never find it. But I had that terrible T1000. I thought it was a woman... And it fired missles out of it's butt!? I thought the launch up was suppose to shoot them.
Exactly! After filming this episode and playing with it for the first time, I started to think that that was probably the intention of the toy engineers: that when the missile compartment popped up, it would fling the missiles. So when they realized that it didn't work, instead of ditching the design, they just added instructions telling kids to flick the missiles out. That's my thought, anyway. I'm probably going to mention this as a little follow-up during the introduction of the Part 2 video of the Kenner T2 toy line.
@@Tfor2show I think so because I wouldn't have read the instructions and just assumed it launched them and they always failed to really go anywhere. Plus it looked like crap too so I hated that figure ha ha ha. I know I have at least the Yellow water squirt one from the next batch, but never found that dang endo...too awesome and sold out I suppose. Never saw any of the GOOD T-1000 either so I will be excited to see them. Might have to hunt them down after you show the part 2.
@@MBXfilms Yeah, for sure! You shouldn't have too much trouble finally getting that endoskeleton. They're always on ebay, and if you're patient, you can get them pretty cheap.
🔥👍🏼🔥
lmao
I never knew this channel existed!
The scope/gun accessory thing ..
I never got why they wouldn't've gaven him laser rifles.
But one crime I really find to be unforgivable,
I wish to Christ they would have made a Sarah Connor figure!
Make her in that outfit that she wore to go kill Dyson.
What the Hell, Kenner?!
But to me, from what we got, the only figure really worth collecting is the T-800.
Love Terminator
Love the channel
Thanks for the video
Hey! Welcome aboard! Making this show has been a lot of fun so far, and I have a TON of episodes planned, so stick around!
Regarding the Sarah Connor comment - I agree 100%. By the time the series was done, they made probably thirty DIFFERENT versions of the Terminator... And not ONE Sarah Connor!
There's absolutely no way that the vast majority of kids wouldn't have wanted a Sarah Connor instead of a seventh or eighth Terminator figure. What a shame.
When is part 2 coming? I’d like to know.
Hopefully fairly soon! My wife and I just brought our second kid home, so I'll be a bit preoccupied with that for the next few weeks, but I plan to get the show back in production ASAP. The next episode will be all about T2 on the NES, followed by part 2 of our coverage of Kenner's T2 action figure line... And after that, we have some very special never-before-seen documents pertaining to the T2 action figure line that I think people will find VERY interesting... stick around! 💪🏻😎
@@Tfor2show Whew! taking care of two kids must be hard! And also t2 nes! Heard it's not good, not bad. have a nice day! (Btw it's night here in South Korea just wanted to let you know.)
Where is part two already?
Very best ❤❤❤
Which Terminator figure was your favorite?
Haha I was only 4 when these came out & I had most of the line. Actually came here to see what I'm missing, since I still have all that stuff. Bio-Flesh Regenerator was my jam!
Hell yeah! The Bio-Flesh Regenerator was awesome! I can't wait to cover that one on the show. That'll be a lot of fun!
@@Tfor2show Nice! Looking forward to that one. Do you still have the compound?
@@ioncewasmikey I do have a fresh can that hasn't been opened yet! But the compound was just a substance called "alginate," which you can still purchase online in all sorts of colors, so I'll have all sorts of fun with it. 😄
@@Tfor2show Oh wow, that's cool! Haha you're tearing down the walls of my childhood reality with this alginate business 😂 but making alternate colored Arnolds would have been so fun!
@@ioncewasmikey It's the same compound that's include in Clone-A-Willy kits! 😄
I own the first three figures still. They're chillin' in boxes someplace. All except for the missile. 😆
Classics!! 🔥👍🏼🔥
Hey I know this is a weird question to ask but are these figures in the same scale as the Kenner marines from aliens?
Hey there! Not a weird question at all! Yep, these are in the same scale. From what I recall, pretty much all Kenner's action figures through the 90's we're in the same scale... Like around 5", if I remember correctly?
Ok cool man I asked cause the figure with him in a wife beater looks close enough to him from predator so I was gunna use him as a dutch for my display. Thanks again man and keep up the great work brotha!
@@michaelbuck1471 Oh wow, that's an excellent idea!! I can't believe I never thought of that - I had that figure as a kid, and I had some of the Predators... Never thought of using him as Dutch, but that's a terrific idea! You could just paint his shirt black and be good to go!
@@michaelbuck1471 Also, fun fact in case you weren't aware - the Scorpion Alien has the same "exploding" mechanism as the Exploding T-1000 figure (when I continue my coverage of this toy line in the future, I'll be comparing the two of them on the show).
Yea I noticed that, really cool and yeah I'm gunna repaint him for sure. Hell you could even make a commando figure if you wanted too lol.
In addition to being absolutely stupid & laughable, the T-1000's action feature is also inaccurate to the movie because Arnie said that the T-1000 can't make itself into guns or missile launchers because they're too complex & have chemicals & moving parts.
Ah man, that's an excellent point! I should have mentioned that in this episode and played a clip. Where were you when I was filming this? 😂
For Techno-Punch, I used the scope as a gun, putting that rear portion as a handle. 😁
Now that makes good sense!! I love that idea!
Yeah, I picked up on the binocular in the right hand thing, doofus!!
Well then, maybe you oughtta be making these damn videos! Be my guest!
I need that god damn t-800 !!
Fortunately, these figures aren't terribly rare or valuable! You can usually snag them for pretty fair prices on eBay. 😎👍🏻
@Tfor2show I've been wanting these figures since I was nine. I just never got around to ordering them . Once I get paid, I'll start hunting them down.
Hell yeah! Best of luck! I'd love to hear about your collection when you get it going.
@Tfor2show Thanks, man . Hopefully, around June, I'll be able to buy these figures .
I cant find part 2
@@nwaman88 Believe it or not, it'll be coming up soon! The show has been postponed as life has gotten in the way of production a bit... but I hope to be back at it soon. The next episode will be all about the Terminator 2 game for the NES, and the episode after that will finally be part 2 of the Terminator 2 action figure line!
Thanks for watching! 🔥👍🏼🔥
eyes light -up under the light
🔆👃🔆
Where's part 2?
Parts 2 and 3 and more are definitely in the pipeline, along with episodes about the other various T2 toys, video games, comic books, and more! I'm spreading out those topics so that I don't burn through the fun stuff all at once, haha. Right now I'm working on an episode all about the Terminator's legendary shotgun from T2! I think people are gonna dig it.
Casey what ate are you in?
Eastern Iowa. 🤘🏼😎
@@Tfor2show lol my 1887 t series is coming from iowa... ironic was hoping you were a buckeye
@@gruntspy44 Ha, that's awesome!
@Tfor2show if your ever in cincy area want a few beers and to go to the range. Let's go shooting. I have some neat toys
@gruntspy44 Awesome! I'll remember that. Thanks, man!
FROM ARGENTINA
😄😄😄👌👌👌🖐🖐🖐
Oh wow! I'm so glad you're enjoying the show! There are some Terminator items that I've been trying to acquire from Argentina, so if you ever think you can help me out, feel free to contact me! 😎👍🏼
Err wait a Tic did The movie point this out about T 1000?
Terminator:
The T-1000 can't form complex machines. Guns and explosives have chemicals in them. Moving parts. It doesn't work that way, but it can form solid metal shapes.
Well Kenner disagress he can do that now.
Haha, apparently so!
You know what, I should have played that clip during the episode. Ah well.
@@Tfor2show
Well you can do a reupload if are ok with it
@@Tfor2show
So when will you do a Reupload with that fact in mind.
@@Dim4323 Haha, well if I re-uploaded the episodes every time there was something I could improve, I would be re-uploading the same old episodes every two or three weeks. 😂 But in the future when I do the next episode on the action figure line, and do a recap of the figures we've covered so far, I definitely look forward to borrowing this idea! 😁 Thanks again, man.
@@Tfor2show yeah and use that wait a tic line and clip from that movie of Terminator explaining.
Thanks
I had all 4 😎. NBD.
Hell yeah! 🔥👍🔥
I'm glad you clarified you're a Yank. That was bugging me.
He's drinking tea, British
But he's called Casey, American
His accent, undecided
But he's drinking tea tho, very confused
HA! Happy to clear things up. 😄
Dude are you done with the channel? These are great you remind me of the angry video game nerd. I bought the chiqppa t series 1887 because of your videos
That's awesome! And thank you for the kind words - I'm so glad you're enjoying the show!
And no, I am absolutely not done with the show... FAAAR from it! I have a TON of episodes planned, and I still work on the show every day in one way or another. But... ever since my first kid was born last year, I work on the show a few minutes at a time instead of a few days at a time, haha. And this next episode is extra delayed, because I've been spending a lot of time making sever improvements to the set that will HOPEFULLY make filming faster and more efficient, so I can start making and releasing episodes a little more often. We'll see!
Either way, I plan to continue releasing episodes for a very long time! Glad to have you along for the ride. 🔥👍🏼🔥
The figure of the T1000 as a biker cop looks more as if he were played by Oliver Platt in the movie. Omg imagine if Oliver Platt actually played him.
Haha!! Wow, that's a terrific comparison! Wish I would have thought of that when I made this episode. Good stuff!
@@Tfor2show I also often wonder what if the T1000 had been played by Christopher Lloyd. Because that would've made T2 another movie Chris did in 1991 where he could've said, "I WAS FROZEN TODAY"
@@justinratcliffe947 HAHA! Brilliant! 🤣
@@Tfor2show I guess you've seen Suburban Commando
@@justinratcliffe947 Absolutely! Although I must admit that it's been a very, very long time, and I don't remember it well. I mostly remember that Christopher Lloyd quote from a VHS we had when I was a kid... it was a VHS of some other movie, but the trailer for Suburban Commando was on it, and it featured that quote. I always enjoyed that.
7:50
That's what she said or he...
HA!! 😆 Very nice.
Cuz I’m.......in my 30’s. 🤣🤣
HAHA! Indeed. And I've got a lot more Terminator toys to make a fool out of myself by discussing, too, haha.
I remember having probably the whole line, but the t1000 motorcycle cop seemed like a police academy cartoon character, especially next ti the exploding one.
Oh wow, that's a great comparison! You're absolutely right. I can't believe I never noticed that, becauae we were also familiar with the Police Academy line growing up. Great comment!
The days when the figures looked inaccurate and very colourful lol.

i had the punching terminator
Nice! He was a classic! 👊💥
Great video
Thanks, man! Since this one I've upgraded to an all-new set, and cranked up the production value. I'm almost finished with the next episode, which is ALL about the Terminator's Winchester 1887 shotgun from T2!
