Terminator model kit?
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, January 19, 2007 1:52 PM

Hello Sci-Fi Fans out there!

I'd like to know if there is a model kit of a Terminator. I am looking for a model kit, not a ready made figure.

Thanks for your input!

Your best bet at this point is going to be ebay. There are several avialable there most are out of production. The Horizon vinyl kit (Arnold version) at 1/6 is a great kit. The vinyl endo is not so great though. Also I forget who made them but you can still find the endo kit in plastic. One version was chrome plated the other not and IIRC 1/9 scale. Other then that there are some licenced and non licenced kits in a number of scales that are coming out of Japan and found on ebay.

 

Hope that helps,

Tsukuda from Japan might be the other company mentioned. They produced some Terminator figures. They did an endoskeleton & the T1000 in policeman guise from T2 Judgement Day if memory recalls.

Agree with the comment on the Horizon Arnie Terminator figure. It is very nice, which reminds me that I really need to get back to working on mine. Have been stalled on painting it for nearly a decade now :(

Those would be the Tsukuda 1/9 injection kits. I built the non-chrome version about 12 years ago. Nice kit, easy to build, and quite accurate. Apparently very scarce now.

Holy smokes time flysConfused [%-)] Didn't think about it until you wrote 12 years ago. I bought both versions in 92... sure didn't seem that long ago. I still need to finish mine. The Horizon vinyl endo was such a let down I was happy these ones came around.

The Arnold kit has great detail and is a super easy build. Heres a pic of mine:

 

 

 

 

Now I just have to get my hands on the Hunter Killer kitsMischief [:-,]

Thanks for the info guys! It seems the Tsukuda kits are the ones to find.

maxx1969, You say you got both kits in '92, does this mean you still have the Tsukuda  Endoskeleton one unfinsihed in the box........Whistling [:-^] Any chance I can convince you to part from it........Bow [bow]
