I’ve had this Terminator bootleg toy set for a number of years now. It never really got around where I live like other bootleg toys do. I found this one at a local discount store but never saw it at any of the other places I haunt when looking for bootleg toys.
So what did I get for my money? Two Terminator Figures (T-850 and Battle Damaged T-850), two T-X figures (T-X and T-X Endoskeleton) and one T-900 figure. Not a bad haul for toys from a movie series I enjoyed.
Like all bootleg toys, the packaging contains no trademark or copyright information anywhere. The packaging is typical bootleg toy packaging. Nice and flimsy.
Here are the figures:
As bootleg toys go, this isn’t too bad of a set. The Battle Damaged T-850 has a normal painted face. While the detail in the paint jobs is your typical shoddy bootlegger’s work, the figures aren’t as horrific as is normally expected.
Well, who am I kidding. Take a look at the Battle Damaged T-850. Looks like his arm’s all ready fallen off. Dang, the toy isn’t even out of the package and it’s all ready broken. FYI, before I buy any bootleg toys, I usually inspect the figures before buying. The Battle Damaged T-850 was perfectly intact when I bought it. So somewhere between the time I bought it and the time I pulled it out of the garage to photograph, the dang arm came off.
Hmmmmm… I don’t think I’ll be able to get a refund on this set.

Gotta say, it seems apropos that the battle damaged model is the one whose arm came off.
