TERMINATOR 2 KENNER 1991



A follow up to 1984's the Terminator  was inevitable but no one imagined that James Cameron's Terminator 2: Judgement day would exceed its predecessor in almost everyway becoming one of the most popular and profitable movie sequels of all time bosting amazing special effects, breath-taking stunts and a killer Terminator so scary that I actually believed for some time (having seen this movie far too young an age) that my mother had been replicated by it and will soon terminate me!

Long before seeing the movies  I had a couple of Kenner Terminator 2 figures lying about in my action figure filled toy box and would create cyborg battles, pitting Arnie's bad-Ass robot warrior  against various superheroes, with the superiorly buff Arnie emerging triumphant. Here we look in detail at what I think are the best figures Kenner had to offer from the series:









The T-1000 Terminator is sleeker and more efficient than the original Terminator with the ability to morph into anyone he touches! (decimates) here the character is in the middle of transforming to the police officer he impersonates throughout the movie and the effect perfectly captures the capability's of the on screen character ! 



In typical Kenner fashion this figure has an "exploding" action feature which is authentic to a particularly memorable action sequence from the movie itself!

Secret Weapon Terminator has a distinctly futuristic look that hints at what Arnie may look like during his future battles! boasting a good overall Schwarzenegger likeness and great intricate detailing (look at the veins on those arms!) 

ENDO-surprise! when a lever is pressed on the figures back the front portion of his body opens to reveal his cyborg skull!



A second press on the button fires a concealed missile!

TERMINATOR artillery! No Terminator could be complete without some heavy duty fire arms!

One Thing I loved about Kenner is that this toy company never seemed bothered about advertising a R rated movie to kids via their action figures, thinking that  my pre-pubescent little brain was safe from harm watching Terminator movies  because after all how bad can a movie be if they are selling toys to kids based on it? well I've turned out OK I think but at 11 years old I was not prepared for the kinds of violence and horror that the first two movies had to offer, However I wasn't deterred from my love of the figures themselves which I still count amongst my favourite Movie tie-in toys.
Fun and inventive action features great likenesses and  a wide range of figures to choose from!
