Terminator, Robocop and Batman Figures | Ashens

hello a while ago I reviewed a terminator salvation based toy and mentioned that it was solve a reissue of one they'd released years ago to tie in with Terminator 2 and I've had a lot of correspondence from people going what toys based on Terminator 2 but that was our fill not for the kids and yes you may have a strange accent but you have a good point in the 90s there was quite a lot of this stuff released where sort of adult franchises into toy lines in Robocop at aliens and terminator and all sorts of weird things and I've gathered a few of them together so we can look at them and point and laugh because hey what else is there to do in life oh yeah lots of stuff let's not worry about that and instead laugh at Arnie here he is being all you know what's that awful word for things to do with the governor gubernatorial that's a horrible word anyway here he is in his combat trousers and boots which just happened to be exactly the same shade of green and his vest and he's pointing forward probably saying I will return to this place at a later date which is of course his catchphrase also he does that yes pull down his arm and his entire face and body flies off revealing that he is eaten a robot Skellington well actually it's some sort of terminator it's some sort of bio flesh over a endoskeleton from the future you know how the Terminator works I don't quite know why they Skynet infinity robotic wisdom decided to make one where it just literally all flies off hit somebody in the face and then they see he's a robot and that probably blows the cover a little bit also there's a frickin great hole in his chest you can use to store an apple anyway that's quite a nice start next up is arguably the most popular of said toys everybody had one of these apparently I didn't I was too old because I'm like a granddad or something but yes it's Arnie in sort of vague Terminator 2 type get up the biker gear with all his shells around him and half his face has been gnawed off by naughty rats which is a bit of a shame for him because you know he was going to go and see his mother for tea tomorrow and she's going to be asking all sorts of questions and look his arms been eaten away too and it explicably he has a rod that comes out his fist which was actually something Robocop had and not The Terminator which confuses me and his arm comes off did I mention that and he can put on this completely pointless clamp which presumably has to carry around them in a backpack and again completely blows his human disguise although having half his face blown away has probably done that already there's also a third arm with some sort of missile launcher thing going on but the missile has been lost to time and also it's too big and looks stupid off you go next up Arnie cosplaying as Mad Max or something he's a real sort of post-apocalyptic 80s film vibe to this also his stomach and pissed we made that for bits of Lord wood um yeah he just looks normal until you push the thing in his back and yep his face falls off again morning bit odd that and needless to say he's got a rocket launcher in his chest he pushed the thing the other way and the rocket flies out but the rocket has been lost to antiquity there we are go over there and pretend you're Mel Gibson next up the evil terminator well he was evil depending on which film you're watching the t1000 this was a liquid metal thing now of course how can you um you know portray a liquid metal bizarre interchangeable super futuristic robot well the answer is apparently you give him his biker form give him a really weird posture thing going on and make sure he has no backs of his knees and what happens is you pull down his head and his ass flies off that didn't happen oh here's my broken son what I got God how does that fit like that yeah yes yeah it's kind of dangerous his ass doesn't actually fly off that would be the most bizarre action feature ever although it still is pretty weird his head goes down like that and his ass becomes a rocket actually this isn't in less weird at all now think about it his ass becomes a rocket launcher yes the Rockets have been lost but I really don't see how that one got past the design stage you know man Robert Patrick I'm such a big fan of him yeah we get to make a toy out of him I know let's make his ass come off and shoot missiles is that makes perfect sense it also makes you understand where's hands like that oh god what am i doing weird and the last one I've got two of the Terminator figures this is quite pretty endoskeleton thing very clever design here whereby the twisty bits here are very very thick rubber using this sort of weird twanging action they like those come food that Karate Kid figures they made years ago chop twist and cake or something also there's light piping for the head if you get a torch and shined the light through there it looks like the eyes light up because technically they do marvelous wine eyes not at all that's these are only relatively cheap things when they came out and you know they're not marvelously sculpted by any stretch the imagination where they're chunky and they do the job or the kids can play them without breaking which means I can buy them on eBay years later and parade them in front of a camcorder like some sort of tit now we mentioned Robocop earlier let's have a look at a couple of Robocop figures this being the original one they sold it was just called Robocop and it features the character Robocop not rocket science is it and this was reissued Lee years later as part of the Robocop and the ultra police which was like a weird television series aimed more at kids but this one originally was indeed supposed to be a movie tie and it's not a bad thing at all a little bit of articulation to it and it's quite nicely sculpted and molded it's got his ridiculous long gun and even as the bizarre feature of you can take his hat off and look it smurfy reverie or whatever it was that you said and you can even take his chest plate off and look at that if I recall this originally came with them battle-damaged versions of these which I've probably got in a drawer somewhere and that's pretty good I mean for a little cheap figure very nicely done and unfortunate doesn't and it does look it does have the spike that comes out of the fist hey you know if I'm get it going there we are what more could you ask for in the film some weird data spike thingy used to I don't know interface with computers and of course well he actually did have use was impale people on it's like a big killer robot he use a robot you use a cop that's how the theme tune goes and I've got another Robocop figure it looks exactly the same without the gun but it's a bit chunkier and wait for it you press the button and it makes noises there was one that went rat-a-tat-tat this does not go rat this one plays the when they just makes a siren alarm affect one's eyes flash actually which is a bit crap actually appears to just play the deaf squeeze of Robocop I'm really glad I described it first and yeah mental note remember to check the batteries of these things before recording them that's actually quite frightening that's mainly it's just like him screaming - Robocop - anyway get over there let's go back to Terminator II stuff and far more recent toys come back to Terminator Salvation in fact well you may remember John Connor isn't it's played by that their Christian Bale and they released what may be one of the worst action figures ever now the price of these figures has gone through the freaking roof this was like six pounds when it was released for this shitty little three three-quarter inch figure which looks pretty crap and has it must be said [ __ ] terrible lamb proportions on its legs look he's got these weird little mini legs under his knees and tell you some sort of slightly mutant man the worst thing is of course the likeness of Christian Bale yes this is supposed to be John Connor and yes he's got some sake armor on but yeah they apparently for some reason whether Christian Bale didn't get into signing off his likeness quick enough and they made all the figures and had to cover their faces so yeah that is absolutely [ __ ] shocking for about six pounds but poor old Christian Bale games are even worse on the action figure front they released these three three-quarter inch figures of the Dark Knight older Nolan's take on Batman their face is quite good actually looks quite a lot like Bale from where you can save it really nice detailing and quite nicely done they rerelease them again dividual e for The Dark Knight but no VM Dark Knight Rises film and unfortunately the price was absolutely ludicrous I've seen them sold for eight pounds or they go for about seven and it's really a means nicely sculpted there's no paint on it other than around the mouth which is very very basic ludicrously expensive for what it is I can't imagine these selling at all I always expected them to appear in Poland at some point they never have although they did appear very cheap and Tesco so I bought a load to show you yes they made a load of these so they didn't make interesting characters like you know Batman and Catwoman and all that although apparently there is a Catwoman one that was only available in certain shops in America instead you just get different colors Batman I hate it when they do that do kids really want five different Batman no they want Batman a couple of other characters not weird lemon-flavored Batman or even worse inexplicably I want to say aquamarine there's probably a little dark for that Batman and they just paint it slightly differently and put it out and it looks absolutely poop and my god far too much money hey it's the ghost of Babel this has got to be the cheapest for about 15 pounds or something utterly ludicrous you could get them with an action feature well I say action feature it's more like a I think I think the technical term is deluxe figure but it basically comes with this weird serrated coffin that you can put him in press a button and oh look he pops out and now he's got his flying machine he would have to be a ghost to actually be lifted in the air by two very small fans so yeah they've taken the whole idea of the movie moved along a few paces and made some absolutely ridiculous cheaped out they were selling off full due to Christie expensive money the only nice thing is you can put them in it again and press the other button and it spits it out without it her her Batman you fricken freak umm very good thing that came out of those actually was this one which is quite nice it's all this entirely re sculpted version rather than just being the same freakin figure in different colors and it does have this kind of still Nolan II Batman look as if he did have some sort of heavier armor I quite like that well I don't like is the crap it came with either the other thing was bad prepare yourself for bloody great construction claw on his shoulder that would just push him over because it's far too heavy Batman thanks for that lads but don't worry it got worse they decided they did need to release one villain and so they sculpted a new figure of Bane which doesn't fit at all with this style of the others has ridiculous gorilla portions I mean look at those arms for crying out loud you could pull his shoes off without em bending down and it's got this nasty almost disney-esque paint scheme but it is if it is we're gonna break into song at any moment your punishment must be more severe your punishment must be more severe punishment must be more severe you have my division who died a little delete it and then it like be a singing crab or something with him because there always is in Disney films and that's about it really apart from this Wonder Woman figure a friend gave me said oh you're sure this on the Internet and well it's just a cartoony figure of Wonder Woman and he said yeah but Wonder Woman had an invisible plane do you remember that right yes there is a well-known thing when the woman inexplicably had an invisible jet plane god knows as she found it to sit in um yeah what what is the point how does that write to this figure well he said imagine if she was flying and you just saw her like flying through the eggs the rest the jet was invisible yep this is like a thought experiment not going to be very visually interesting for the audience oh yeah poser as if she's flying her airplane okay yes he's got the controls sitting down oh my Christ so you would see her this flying through the air hmm I mean what would you do if you saw that while you'd marry it is the answer to that but what the bloody I mean I can understand why they've done it so the point of articulation hits up on a bikini bottom there and doesn't you know mess up the lines of it but it does also mean you've got this bizarre articulation which makes no sense I'm just going to throw that over there because it makes me feel slightly ill thought all the pulled muscles and finally here's something completely irrelevant that I bought to do with a halo blind bag video and then forgot I had this is a really freaky thing from my childhood a fisher-price adventure people figure but a weird sort of translucent one of a sort of naked woman with them just a controlled chest on it in really freakish eyes and hair reason I got it the halo thing of course is it actually looks really like katana some weird like katanas aunt or something you know sort of more motherly version of an older lady being caught on there we are sit over there if you don't know what potala is I really wish unexplained it beforehand but I'm not going to now go and look it up why don't you actually if you do want some homework have a look at the aliens figures they released because some of those are fantastic particularly the Bishop one but I couldn't be bothered to buy any those they're too expensive
