    Kenner Terminator 2

    Techno-Punch Terminator with light-pipe eye feature!
    28 years old and still a classic!

    That great. Really has that Kenner toy catalog look. BTW: Did they ever release a chromed version of that figure? Real missed opportunity if they didn't.

    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

      Thanks! No, I don't think they ever did a chrome one...would have been really cool. For some bizarre reason they made a copper colored one though. There's also a black glow in the dark version.

        Love T2... Your photo makes this toy look infinitely better than any of the packaging or ads of the time. Didn't realize it had the same eye feature as Darkseid. Let me think... what other toys used that tech?

        Darkseid
        Terminator 2
        POTF2 Jawas

        Any others?

          ^BTAS Scarecrow did. Another great Kenner figure!

          Great pic Dwayne. I admired that line from afar from all the Kenner mini-catalogs I got in Batman product of the day.

              I'll also add that T2 was a transformative experience for me. Even though I'd seen the Abyss, I thought the CGI morphing was used to jaw-dropping effect in T2. I'll accept all the bad CGI Van Helsing crapfests we got in its wake, because T2 was that good.

                Love that light eye feature... it's an example of toymakers being creative if electronics weren't practical or cost effective. I dig stuff like that.

                  Light piping is a really cool gimmick. Happily Kenner's light piping does still live on. Many of Hasbro's Transformers Siege toys use it great effect.

                    Really? I haven't seen any that do that yet! I'll have to keep my eyes out...I just picked up the Walgreens Ratchet.
