T-1000s look good, though I wish NECA was as scene specific with them as the T-800s instead of these mixes of different moments into a single figure.
I'd be concerned about how the paint of that floor melding foot will translate on a 7" figure. I think its a good idea though. Not so much the pointy finger - we already have one of those and it'll probably arrive to us warped and bent.

You do. Though I'm sure it means nothing more than these T-1000 figures.

The donut headsculpt is far more exaggerated than the HT one - it looks like they based it on the actual animatronic that was used in the film rather than attempting a more lifelike appearance like HT. Its cool I like having it both ways.
I don't think the biker looks as dead-on as the HT biker looks - it misses the reflectivity in the sunglasses. But still a definite buy.

Not just the reflective qualities of the shades, just overall something doesn't look quite right on the biker head, good effort and will make for a decent 7" figure.
I think the Donut head may be exaggerated more than even the movie prop was to accommodate for the production process, it seems like that side of his head is a bit bigger than it should be, still looks cool though. I'm more bothered by the inclusion of the boot tweak out from the deleted footage than the sculpt though. If it were easy to swap lower and upper bodies I'd get a second biker to use as the legs for the donut head.

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread
I'm hoping, I think a DX BD T-800 from T2 would be a great figure to celebrate 20 years of T2 goodness with.
I wonder if that's a NECA logo or if anything T2 this year might include it, I like it.

Exactly! I can see them holding it back, the more spectacle a figure has the better

Leg swapping is easy, I did it on a pair of T-800s. Though I don't mind the boot glitching, you don't see his feet in the donut head scene and its conceivable that his feet would still have been glitching at that point....though it would be like the HT T-1000 sarah effect not this one.
That's what I mean though about mixing moments. Glitching, even though not seen at that moment, is not farfetched, but the glitch doesn't match the flooring of the scene, they're 3 separate moments merged into one figure. Kind of like the first T-1000s coming with the liquid under his shoe, though that's much more subtle and at least helps add a cool pose options having him in a walking pose instead of just standing.

I have to admit. I'm kind of spoiled and biased after having the Hot Toys T-1000, I'm just not that impressed with that donut headsculpt. Definitely not as excited as I was during last year's Toy Fair when they unveiled the regular Galleria and Pescadero Sauce head.
However, I love the glitch effect on the boot. It looks well done and there's no doubt in my mind that it will translate well into the 7" figure. I remember thinking the vac-metal Liquid Metal T-1000 wouldn't be as good, but it turned out extremely well.
I'll probably buy atleast two, one to have a regular headed Steel Mill and a second as the donut head. If the upper torso pops out easily between this and the motorcycle cop, maybe a third so it's completely clean.

I like everything but the helmet. It seems kind of small and oddly shaped to me. Again, this might be me seeing it differently after owning the Hot Toys version.
I hope an alternate regular arm is included. I really never liked that blade arm.
Overall, these are okay to me. I'm not blown away like last years assortment, but that's probably because at this point, I've been T-1000ed out between the previous NECA and Hot Toys figures.
My only hope is that these two figures aren't riddled with quality control problems like the first two T-1000s. If they improve the QC (articulation, limbs and paint) these should be good.
Looking forward to them.

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread
As always one worries about the paint particularly on the Tech Noirs punk t-shirt, the surgery's damaged arm, the faces of course, but otherwise the T1s look like perfect sculpts. I'm less worried about the Police shootout now, I think it looks better than it did in that banner. I'll buy the hell out of these and hopefully head off any compulsion to buy more of the HT one than I have already....but I remember saying that once before with the T2s and it didn't quite pan out that way.

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread
Yup, I think this because it's a grail figure for me, but, where HT likes to hype up figures with film releases or anniversaries or new sculptors, having nothing for the T2 anniversary would be strange, they wanted to keep momentum going after Salvation so I get why they started before the anniversary year, but with so little of a wait, it did feel like, why not wait for the big year. I can't imagine any significant production reason to not do the figure, the only reason I could see delaying is for the anniversary, and if we don't get it for that, I don't think we'll get it at all.

Aww man, I know. I lost count of how many of my T-1000s broke. And one of them has an annoying squashed ear.
