I take back the negative comments I said about this figure.
Saw it today at Toys R Us. I looked through the pegs and they must have had 15 of him and Zombie Tanker Truck T-800. I thought I was going to lol at the "Luke Skywalker" portrait, but the overall figure looks quite good. I definitely see Michael Biehn which is quite surprising. Some were a few iffy due to the paint apps but the majority of the figures looked fantastic.
I didn't pick it up tonight but I'm definitely contemplating it. The sculpt, the slight stubble/shadow, the scars, the Sarah Connor photo, the filthy bird poop/paint bum pants, the shot gun with rope, it all turned out really well. I can just picture him with the shot gun raised taking aim at the Tech Noir T-800.
BD Zombie Tanker looks pretty good too. Can never go wrong with a wounded, bloody Terminator.
The frozen T-1000 is crap though. The paint is horrible. The "snow" effects remind me of the circle paint jobs Hasbro used on their POTFII Hoth vehicles/figures.

I'd love if mine arrived from BBTS tomorrow. So of course it won't.
Anxious to see if I'm gonna get hit by customs too since I've got 8 figures coming in. Obviously I very much hope not.

A closed mouth version. No, never saw that before. And it looks even less like Biehn.
Agreed. Oddly enough I found it over at toysRus.com, I wonder if they did change the sculpt, but then decided just to go with the original.
I got my set today though. Despite having only a kinda resemblance to Biehn the Reese figure is very nice. Glad to finally have a 1984 Reese in the collection, hopefully HT will follow suit.
The Tanker Truck pursuit T-800 is great, I love it. T-1000...is what it is.
I can think of these remaining figures they could do from the classic films assuming (they won't touch T1 Sarah and T2 young John):
Eye surgery T-800
2029 Reese
Factory Reese (different coat)
Split-down side T-1000
Exploded T-1000
T2 Sarah (steel mill version personally preferred)
Though perhaps they'll be calling it a day on the Terminator films now.

Where did you order from? Despite the Reese figure not having a great likeness, Im really excited to get him. With the way Neca's paint apps are I didn't order online, I'd rather buy them in person so I can pick the best ones. Im hoping Neca isn't done with Terminator, they've made it this far. A 2029 Kyle Reese would be insane, even with a shotty likeness. 
BBTS, and had Robocops and Predators in the same order. Got hit by customs though.

We basically got the "Eye Surgery" T-800 with the "Battle Damaged Tech Noir" figure. I can't really think of anything else you'd need for that one.
I really do hope they eventually get a Sarah Connor figure made. A few "Future War" figures would be great too.
^yeah resistance soldiers to go up against all the endoskeletons we've gotten over the years.
Although you may have forgotten that for the eye surgery the Terminator is wearing only his sleeveless vest and has his arm and hand bandaged up. Its thus not represented in any figure so far. Its not essential but if they're planning any more Kyle Reese or T-1000s then its an option since they usually seem to want a T-800 of some kind in a given wave. The Hasbro Darth Vader of any Terminator line.
Meh. They better not drop the ball with Hicks.
The T-1000 looks like they sprinkled pretzel salt on him.
That really is a perfect description of how it looked.
The prototype looked good too, but the end result.....not so much. He was the only one I passed on, just couldn't do it, didnt seem worth $15.
