Official NECA Terminator Thread

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread

He doesn't really look like Terminator to me in that pic. Don't know if it is the hair, the glasses, the facial expression, the lighting, or some combination of things, but he just looks like some other character.

I think it's the mouth. One thing I give Yulli a lot of kudos for on here T-800 portraits is she really captured Arnie's facial expressions unique to each film, it's a small thing in the grand details, but getting all those little things adds up to the right feel to the head overall. The first Biker shot just isn't giving me the "there he is" feeling like the T2 figures did.

Tech Noir's look good, since I'll not pose my HT T1 in the arm surgery, the NECA will do, just like Man or Machine. That's the beauty of the NECA line, where HT can be a bit pricey to get EVERY variant, with NECA, it's cost and space feasible. It looks like the arm surgery has burning paint on it, though of course it'll look infinitely better on the 2 up than the actual, but, still be nice if the final figure has such details.

Re: NECA twitter T1/T2 teaser pic!!

I´m really thrilled what they´ll look like, although I´m not getting them, since I´ll stick to HT now and will get all I want for T1 & 2 from them, but I guess with the new factory, what tankman said...those will look of the chart...

If they look good why not get them

There we go, the police shootout T-800 is in this banner^

I don't think it looks very good to be honest.
The hair sculpt looks wrong. And the face looks off.

Re: NECA twitter T1/T2 teaser pic!!

Because I collect on a conscious level, meaning I only get 1 of each figure/character, for the sake of using all accessories and not fitting many of them in all possible incarnations and then only having them stand there.
I am enjoing this hobby on a much more active scale and not getting´ em out, outfitting them and that´s it.

T1: Only HT Tech Noir/Chase/Arm Surgery and Police Shootout T-800
T2: Galeria/Pescadero/ArmReveal and (if they´re done, or selfmade) Cyberdyne/Final Battle T-800
And the T-1000.

Since there´re all incarnations possible with them and I´m unemployed, I´m happy and can save money.

Absolutely, thought the same.
Although the final product may vary.

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread

OK then I won't reserve judgement entirely - I agree that based on that one pic the police shootout sculpt looks off. I hope different pics and different lighting angles will prove that to be a mere anomaly. If it isn't just a case of one bad pic then thats pretty unusual. From his Conan figures through his T2 ones I thought Tankman had Arnie down.

it looks like they used the same head sculpt from their t2 arnie,and just changed the sunglasses, to me.

It looks great to me. Wait for better pics tomorrow.

Maybe Tankman didn't, he didn't do T-1000.

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread

Those look very cool!

Could that be an endo arm wrapped in bubblewrap, between the 2 sets of figures? Looks like an endo arm on a base to me. Would be a cool accessory.

I'm pretty sure he did. Isn't Tankman's name Kyle? On the back of the card it says he was the sculptor.

He is but I could swear he posted here that he didn't, maybe just the heads, I don't know, something gave me the impression he didn't do the T-1000 portraits.

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread

I seem to remember him saying he shared duties on the T-1000 with someone else.

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread

I'm totally gonna buy that either way. That shootout scene is my favorite ____ in the first flick.

I am happy that neca is doing this figures, because they satisfy my desire for terminator figures for alot less money than those hot toys ones. And I think they are pretty friggen well done considering. Plus, the majority of my collection isn't 1/6.

a kyle would be pretty awesome.

Does anyone think the mcfarlane sarah is worth picking up or not?

Since NECA aren't going to do one (and definitely not after all the T-800s and T-1000s), most certainly yes, the Mcfarlane ones are worth picking up. The face sculpt was never great but its better than nothing.

^ a 'from afar' shot of the Terminator stand. You can see 2 T-1000s and the 3 T1 T-800s.

Looks like police shootout has an alternate head. Maybe the surgery one does too.

 

[DiFabio]

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread

Yep, they both have alternate heads, which will most likely be included.

That is fantastic. I can't wait to see better pics. I have a feeling that the Police Shootout will look better than that banner pic, I mean, how could it not? Look at the proportions and that pose, it looks terrific.

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread

Doesn't look like the T-1000s have much in the way of alternate parts if anything at all. I was kinda hoping the Steel mill one would have a clean head aswell....not sure I have the Galleria heads to spare.

 

[MaulFan]

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread

Way I figure, surgery will probably come with a head just like the Hot Toys one, the clean Tech Noir will come with a head like HT's and probably the spiked, eyebrowless head from the patrol car. As for the alternate head with the biker, I would guess probably an exposd Endo eye head and the glasses head, and then eventually we'll see a BD biker figure.

 

[DiFabio]

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread

If I were a betting man, I'd say that the alternate head with the Surgery T-800 is the clean faced burned off eyebrows and singed hair look.


EDIT:

Maulfan beat me to it about the Tech Noir.

I agree with that logic.
