I passed on all of the figures and the HK today (the HK is badass, don't get me wrong, but I just don't know what I'd do with it). I did buy the T-1, though, which, while technically from the 6" line, works great with 3.75" figures. It's a cool little toy, and is currently sitting with my BATs. It would also probably make a great PAC RAT custom.

I bought the plain regular Marcus figure yesterday for parts.


The whole line is weak. As weak as the Star Trek line... oh wait, Playmates made both. And dropped the ball horribly on both.

I agree with you on that T-1 idea. Think I might have to look around the area here and see if I can find one for that use. I love me some gatling guns anyways.

Seconded! That is the whole reason I came home and opened this thread. It took about a minute of having the T-RIP out of the package before I was wishing for a Marauder Inc gun to go with it.

I haven't seen answer to this yet, and I just got my HK's yesterday.

Yes, you can put a figure in the HK. It has a drop down trap-door, and there is a "clip" up in the body of the HK to hook a figure in to. The instruction sheet shows the figure going in to the HK in a prone position, so they operate the ship in a Superman-like flying position.

I personally don't plan on putting a figure in mine, but I suppose it's kind of cool that the option is there.

I really, really like the HK, though it does seem kind of small-ish for the price, even with a figure included. I've got no regrets buying them though, and I can't wait to get them painted up silver!

Has anyone seen the A-10 it actually looks decent on the Playmate’s site, I am just worried the it’s way too small, Rattler size would be great, but since the hunter Killer looks too small l bet the A-10 will be to.

If any has the hunter killer do you thing there is room for a cockpit, like Hasbro did w/ the spider droid?

_________________

Since there already is a cockpit...


I would say, yes!

I don't think that there is enough height to have a figure sitting straight up, but there is definitely enough room for adding some details, and possibly a reclined seat.

I can try to snap some pictures of it tonight.

HOLY CRUD I just saw the A-10....it almost looks like 1/35th scale I just want the pilot ...but at 20 bucks ....all I could think when looking at plane was it could be a drone...

After I saw the HK's in person, I was guessing that the A-10 was going to be tiny.

I don't mind too much with the HK. It's not the same as the ones shown in the other films. It's smaller, and the rear wing design is different than the ones in T1 and T2, and it is bigger than the ones in T3. So I figure it's just the developmental "step" between the smaller original HK's and the large ones used towards the end of the future war.

But an A-10 scaled to sell at the same price point. ouch.
I thought it looked really nice, in photos, but figured it would be too small.

Where did you finally see them?

Just saw it at Target, I am really trying to move a lot of the stuff I own so I just can't justify buying it

_________________

I just saw these at Kmart. they are awsome, though I wish they came with movie version plasma rifles, though like others said b4 me calling MARAUDER!
even on my limited budget Im going to pick up a couple of t-rips for my son

Upon closer inspection, I may take back the "possibly a reclined seat" part.

It's pretty tight in there.

Saw them the other day.
All three Marcus on the peg had really bad paint job so I passed.
I think I might pick up a few Connors to make some random terrorists.

Since I'm in the process of building a small army of Terminators, I figured I needed to do something about their weapons.

So here is what I used, and what I did with them...















They aren't 100% accurate to the films, but I like them quite a bit, and they are close enough for me (for now).
Plus Marauder makes some great stuff, so I'm happy to help support the company.

I also really liked the chromed army look of the Terminator forces, in the first 3 films, but still really liked the "dirty" look to the upcoming film. So I did an HK and a T-1 in the chromed look, but did it more like a heavy dry-brushing so they look more reminiscent of the original films, yet still have a "battle-worn" feel to them.

You may also notice that the Marauder "minigun" fits perfectly in the ports where the HK's missiles are suppose to go.














Here is another "future weapon" I threw together quick, using Marauder "plasma rifles" and the AK mags.






I've been wanting some decent Terminator figures for a long time, so yeah, I'm geeking out a little with them.
