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.

[@kurturbain984]

Fantastic vid bruh. I had most of these. That shot where he watches over them all night is a great one.

[@Tfor2show]

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.

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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZOwmn-piciobq8 Have a great day, man!

[@MerolaC]

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.

[@Tfor2show]

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 Arnold impression when you played with the action figures was so funny. I rewatched that part over and over lol

[@Tfor2show]

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! 😂

[@warpartyattheoutpost4987]

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!🍻

[@Tfor2show]

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!

[@warpartyattheoutpost4987]

@@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.

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.

[@Tfor2show]

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).

[@jeffwuorenmaa]

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 👍

[@Tfor2show]

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!

[@Tfor2show]

HA, I'm really glad you enjoyed my awful Schwarzi impression. 😂 In this episode I do one that I think is much improved: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJiwmmChqceKaLc And yeah, that Power Arm Terminator was an absolute MUST HAVE for any toy box in the 90's! Simple but very fun.

[@pointshootfilms3371]

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!

[@pointshootfilms3371]

Also, I laughed out loud when you opened the T-1000 package, and then slowly set out another one. Comedy successful.

[@Tfor2show]

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!

[@xiwsnoraa8916]

[@stevenbiscotti9727]

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

[@Tfor2show]

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

[@Tfor2show]

[@BonecrusherT800]

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.

[@Tfor2show]

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!

[@BonecrusherT800]

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?

[@Tfor2show]

@@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!

[@BonecrusherT800]

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.

[@Tfor2show]

@@BonecrusherT800 Oh man, absolutely! A Neca tribute of Secret Weapon Terminator would look awesome.

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.

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.

[@TerminatorTheory]

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!*

[@Tfor2show]

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!

[@yubl10]

​@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.

[@Tfor2show]

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.

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.

[@zabdielvanegas7397]

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 KZbin's new algorithm for next year.

@@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.

[@Tfor2show]

@@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?

[@blafhoest]

@@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.

[@Tfor2show]

@@blafhoest Oh wow... that's sad as hell, man! I can see why those commercials would have been torture.

[@tperson8347]

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

[@Tfor2show]

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.

[@Hail2daking]

I need that god damn t-800 !!

[@Tfor2show]

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.

[@Hail2daking]

@Tfor2show Thanks, man . Hopefully, around June, I'll be able to buy these figures .

[@mattmaverick703]

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.

[@Tfor2show]

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.

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.

[@Tfor2show]

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! 💪🏻😎

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.

[@Tfor2show]

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.

[@MBXfilms]

@@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.
