Just read through the entirety of this thread (whew!).
I've been contemplating one of the 12" T-800 figures lately, but can't decide which one. They both look fantastic, but the problem I have is the lack of other 12" figures of different characters in this line. If there are going to be others (and it seems no-one's sure either way), I'd want the Pescadero version. He'd look sweet hanging out with a 12" Sarah Connor. But, by himself, or even with a T-1000, the Final Battle version is much more interesting.
It'd be a real shame if NECA decided against any further 12" figures for T2, and I guess that's what makes me hesitant to buy. I'd rather these over the HT ones any day (quality vs price is outstanding), but if we never get a T-1000 or a Sarah Connor (and I'm not hopeful), how would the 12" Arnie look hanging out with, say, the HT Sarah Connor? How's the height/size comparison? Anyone happen to have a pic?
Also looking at the 18" Endo. The detail is great, but that paint work... I know he's made of plastic, but he shouldn't LOOK that way. How's he look in real life / up close? Seen pics and videos but it's always hard to tell.
