After being teased all those years ago by Palisades, it looks like Playmates got ahold of the license and look what scale they happen to be using. http://toynewsi.com/news.php?catid=216&itemid=13567 Playsets, vehicles, and robots! I just hope they put some effort into the sculpts/articulation. This ought to be a line with a ton of custom potential.

Playmate. Masters of the limited articulation. I see a problem with that and will hold back until seeing pics. Not just of the figures, but the pyramid building (SKYNET is a pyramid shaped structure in At Least One of the storylines right?)

Action figures that you can peel the skin off, brilliant ! I just hope they do this line up properly, now we have to wait till the fall of next year for them, good, plenty of time to save.

I'll reserve judgment until I see the product. Playmates can be a mixed bag when it comes to figures. And a Skynet Playset has a lot of potential...but again, it's wait-and-see. On the flipside, I assume this means we will eventually get land and air HKs...which is nothing but a good thang.

To whomever this will apply; please take a pic of your wife's face when you bring home the Deluxe T-600 Fist that vibrates. I don't know if she'll look pleased or terrified, but I'm sure she'll have a definite reaction to it. /Terminator, for all your vibrating fist needs. //Narceron will prolly want one, too.

Playset? Future War figures? Terminators? I'm...I'm crying. And it's in the best way ever. I think the closest equivalent is the birth of my child. If she'd come out cybernetic, we'd be about even. So, so happy right now.

Pity none of the figures are likely to look like Ahnold. Unless the Salvation license covers the previous films too, but even then I think Schwarzenegger has separate likeness rights (which is why the Mc Farlane Movie Maniacs T-800 had a battle damaged face, though they did make T3 T-800s with Arnold's likeness). Anyway, it'd be great to get a 3 3/4th Schwarzenegger, hell, a decent 6in one (that isn't a brick) is cool too. Dunno if we'll get it though. This does mean we have a shot at a decent 3 3/4th Christian Bale though, depending on what route Playmates decides to go with the sculpt anyway. Looking forward to seeing what they have come Toy Fair.

You and me both. I am seriously considering selling my family's organs to fund my toy buying AutobotC5 wrote: I'll reserve judgment until I see the product. Playmates can be a mixed bag when it comes to figures. Know what you mean about that. I remember some of those Star Trek figures. Still, we can only hope that they have learned their lesson (unlike Mattel )

Cautiously optimistic, but this segment: TNI wrote: Playmates Toys will launch an edgy line of collectible action toys targeting kids and collectors. With a strategic vision for establishing a solid action toy segment for the next several years, the initial film window launch will include a full assortment of fully-articulated action figures (multiple scales) Screams WIN!

This sounds cool. But remember the OTHER line that came out and everyone was so hyped that it was 1/18 as well. cough Speed Racer cough I'm with the wait and see crowd myself.
