Terminator 2: Future War (Kenner)

1993

This particular 1993 Kenner line falls in between the original 1991 to 1992 Terminator 2 line, and the latter produced 1997 Terminator 2 3D (AKA Battle Across Time). Kenner was finding a fair amount of success in toy isles due to the massive momentum of James Cameron's highly anticipated sequel, and the company hoped to continue raking in cash by expanding into further lines based on the characters.

Future War featured eight new figures, but sadly stopped there. No vehicles or playsets got incorporated into the line, leaving it rather hollow for those who didn't have the predecessor line. The series also focused heavily on variants of the Terminator - A whopping six of them out of the eight total figures available. Furthermore, the two villains in the series, Cyber-Grip and Kromium were 100% Kenner created for the line.

If you look closely at the cardback above, you can see that Kenner definitely planned for this series to be a continuation from their prior line. It depicts the eight figures from this series, and then encourages children to collect the rest of the Terminator figures available - I.E. the prior series.

It's probably no surprise to anyone that there is little value in these figures on secondary markets. They are readily available, and can be obtained for as little as $3.00 each, mint on card. If you're in to the Terminator, and wanting to add some figures to your collection, the time is now to jump on these. They're cheap, and easy to find.

Kenner
1997

Terminator 2 3D - Battle Across Time was the Terminator movie fans wanted, but never got to see on the big screen per se. It featured the cast of the original Terminator 2 Judgement Day; Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Edward Furlong and Robert Patrick, all reprising their respective rolls, and was written / directed by James Cameron. The "film" was actually part of the attraction of the same name at Universal Studios.

The "ride" opened in 1996 in Universal Studios Florida, and from there expanded to the Hollywood location in 1999, and finally to Japan in 2001. The ride would close down in 2012 - With a recently announced 2016 re-release planned.

It was based on this attraction that Kenner produced the short lived action figure line of the same name. It featured six action figures, and an additional large size action figure / doll.

The line would become Kenner's last Terminator series to date, and the third in total that it produced. Because it followed in the same design and style of the original Kenner Terminator 2 (1992) and Terminator 2 Future War (1993) lines, these easily incorporate into those series as somewhat of a continuation to them. As reader Barbecue17 points out, most of these are actually repaints of the aforementioned series.

The figures aren't too common these days, and unfortunately the majority of sellers that have them are asking way more than people seem interested in paying. The average asking price is anywhere from $30.00 to $40.00 each. As a result, there are not too many transactions taking place for them.
