 Attention Playmates Toys: Please Make THESE Arnold Toys!
Arnold Figures in Wave 2 of Playmates "Salvation" Figures!

Sure, readers of this site knew Arnold would be in Terminator
Salvation, but the general public really didn't have a clue - which is why the "surprise" Arnold cameo reveal in the film got the loudest applause. So now that the cat is out of the bag, Playmates Toys can soon reveal their Arnold figures, his various endoskeleton designs and Arnold-related play sets.
For those of you who have not yet seen the movie and do not want to hear about the damages to Arnold's T-800 in the film, come back later. Both Schawarzenegger's CG likeness and his T-800 endoskeleton combined last perhaps over five minutes. During this time, we can see MANY possibilities of Arnold-related action figures. Below are the current T-800/T-RIP endoskeletons by Playmates.
Playmates Toys, should be allowed to soon reveal their Arnold designs and as long as the figures from the first wave sell, we can expect a much more exciting 2nd and 3rd wave of Arnold figures! Playmates, please hear my plea to produce these Arnold and T-RIP/T-800 figures. Keep in mind, these are the figures that will sell the best and will be the most profitable for your company.
1. Arnold: Fully fleshed cyborg. Be creative about his privates - like put skin-toned tight shorts on him or you can have his mid-section blasted away, revealing his endo innards.
2. Flesh-Burning T-800: Figure has flames coming off of Arnold and his face is burning away.
3. Crispy Endoskeleton: Burnt flesh on random areas of his endo body.
4. Hot Molten Steel Endoskeleton: From this image below, it appears this figure is already in the works. I understand this is an earlier prototype but I hope it still finds its way to our toy shelves.
5. The Arnold Scan: This shot from the film, first showing Arnold, could be a very cool clear figure, perhaps a Comic Con exclusive. Playmates Toys tells TheArnoldFans that they are prepping for a Comic Con booth. Here they will show their new Terminator toys and TAFs will be there again this year. They also tell us they have not yet ruled out a T4 comic con figure. Clear or "hologram" figures are often con exclusives. Cross your fingers for Arnold this July at Comic Con!
6. Liquid Nitrogen T-800: After the Terminator is covered by the molten steel, he then freezes in a fate similar to the T-1000. This figure is another must.
7. The Bio-flesh Regenerator Play set. Here is another early prototype by Playmates of a Terminator flesh regenerator. The figure in the image is a little confusing because it's a Marcus flesh mold that builds over what appears to be a T-800 endo. This play set looks like it will be reworked so the endo is the correct model for Marcus...or maybe we can build Arnold's T-800 in this play set as well? Playmates, make it happen!
8. Skynet Play set: Imagine this play set...a couple of T-700 endos are being built off to the sides in this Skynet room. A T-600 with a machine gun stands over an operating table. A door raises to expose your Arnold figure and a vat of molten steel can pivot to ooze red goo over your endoskeletons. What Terminator fan wouldn't buy that!?
COME ON PLAYMATES! Do it, your fans are here! Come on, please us now, we're here!
TheArnoldFans will be back to bring you the latest Schwarzenegger toy developments. Many toy companies like Funko and Diamond Select will be offering Terminator Comic Con exclusives. Will Playmates Toys also rock our world?
