OK, so I’m overloading on Hot Toys stuff lately. Can I help it? They make fantastic figures with very lifelike head sculpts and realistic accessories. It’s simply impossible not to want to at least take some photos. This time, the camera focuses on the Terminator Salvation: John Connor figure (again, taken at Toy Hunters).

Hot Toys just recently released the official photos of their Terminator Salvation: Marcus Wright figure. At the time, I was fortunate to be in Hong Kong and happen to be at Toy Hunters’ re-opening. Needless to say, it was perfect time to take some photos of their latest stuff on display.
