Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread

Received the right figures today, so no my NECA Terminator collection, short of them taking on Salvation, is complete.

Very cool MaulFan. I really want to get that endo. I can't believe the prices they're going for on ebay.

I'd also love if NECA were to make Terminator Salvation figures. I really enjoyed it for what it was, an action film. The different Terminator designs and costumes would make for some really awesome figures.

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread

I am so glad for the deal I found, 3 figures for $60, considering what the Endo goes for, that alone made the deal sweet, and the set came with Tech Noir that I wanted and got for about $10 less than most sales now, and the biker T-1000 was a bonus. I wish these had stands though, T-1000 stands worse than the others.

Whats your opinion on the T1 endo? Is the quality decent? Yeah I got (sort of) lucky with the T-1000's I do have, Steel mill and pescadero hospital, they both stand just fine. The arm broke off of the pescadero as soon as I opened it. Though I wasn't too pissed because I got it for $4 at FYE.

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread

The Endo rocks, quite a surprise actually, more articuationl than I expected, he looks badass, I'm really glad I was able to get it now that I can really check him out. And despite the size, I'm happier to have the NECA Endo than my old Hot Toys one, this looks much more like I think of the Endo than HT's version, which seemed "skinny" to me.

Cool. Im still going to try and get it. The cheapest and only one on ebay is listed for $95.

The ***k? Why?

Who knows. I'll never get one if that's the going rate.


I really want NECA to make a 18'' T1 T-800 with there new translucent skin. If it looks as good as there 2ups that would be insane.

Awesome setup, Sean They look pretty awesome spread out like that

Are you talking about the T1 Endo? Cuz i've seen plenty of the T2 Endo for as little as $15 BIN.

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread

There's one on Amazon right now for $70, sorry, I looked to see if the place I bought my set still had their other one for sale but it's pulled.

Thanks, what I like about the NECA figures is they're a great way to get a grand representation of a license with little space and money taken up, and then I focus my high end on the ones that really do something for me. I can't imagine a better representation of Terminator, sure you're missing Sarah from both films, but you've got the main hero and villain and all the iconic variants.

Yeah the T1 endo, it's apparently ultra rare.

The T2 endo doesn't look nearly as good to me, he looks as if he's about to fall asleep.

Thanks for looking. No big deal. I'll find one eventually.

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread

I do believe NECA updgraded the skull on the T1, which is why it's so rare, serious collectors wanted the better one, they probably made less of it too, I'm sure it was just a smaller amount to get more money out of the figure.

Yeah the cheaper stuff is really the only way to have so many variants. Well if you have an endless supply of money you could have (via the custom world) a custom of each in 1/6 scale.

Wow I had no idea it was rare. But yeah the lousy T2 Endo was the reason I passed on it. I got the T1 though.

Yup, which is why I can't wait for NECA Rambo

Ah man I sure hope they indulge the hell outta that license

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread

BTW, found this comparison online, man did they improve the face.

T1 is on the left, T2 on the right.

 

[snoop101]

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread

The T1 looks WAY better. The T2 headsculpt almost looks like a joke in comparison.

I too can't wait for NECA Rambo figures. I hope they do Rocky II while they're at it.

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread

I had both Endos from Neca and there really is no comparison. Never knew the latest was at all "rare". Neca should capitalise on demand if the T1 Endo is so saught after; release one with legs that move more freely and can be removed.

I've long been bothered by the sloppy paint work on NECA's 12" Final Battle T-800, and while yes, it's a NECA figure, and rather cheap, I don't think the paint work lived up to even NECA's better work, particularly the blood work, too toyish and they slopped so much blood onto the Endoskull obscuring the metal and ruining the look of the overall portrait. I may touch up some blood work around it, but for now at least, I finally have the Endo popping more having finally bit down and bought a Krylon silver leafing pen to do the Endo bits, what a great item, wish I'd gotten it sooner, but it was the final step to finally showing off my work here, I redid the skin and blood work some time ago, using the great Enterbay portrait for reference and adding detail not there in the original paint job while also cleaning up a lot of it.

REPAINT

And some just for fun.
