I guess I got lucky, I bought 1 of each T-1000 and had no issues with either them, other than some sloppy paint work on the hair.

They could still break, you never can be sure once you know that theres been problems generally.
So far, the only breaking issue I've had with NECA were the DMC Jack Sparrow, had 2 that broke the same way at the shoulder, and I broke one of the Alien knees but that was because the paint had formed such a glue hold, even with heat I couldn't bend the joint without breaking it, that was the worst QC figure I ever encountered.

Yup, it's a lot of money they could have in addition to what they're already doing.

Such a shame that not even Neca can give us a Reese figure.

NECA are even more reluctant than HT to do non-Arnold human figures from the main A&R licenses.

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread
It makes more sense for NECA than for HT to not do Reese. NECA's market is a mix of the super die hard fans with plenty of cash and space, and more casual collectors with little money and space. Arnold and villains sell well, Michael Biehn in a trench coat with a shotgun isn't the most exciting figure. Look at the T-1000s, even those seem to push the damage and weapons to make them more appealing than just straight figures of a cop. Hot Toys caters to the super fans with cash, an HT Reese would sell very well.
This doesn't mean that there won't be NECA Reese figures though. NECA does waves of 3 figures, this could be wave 1 with wave 2 being BD T-800 and 2 Reese figures. 1984 Reese is a fairly easy figure to recycle parts with, all they're really have to change out is the loose torso part of the trenchcoat to have the different styles of his green and navy coats and you could have his early and end looks with one base sculpt.

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread
Oh boy,
- Police Shootout T-800
Much, much better than the banner. What can I say, this is a great looking figure. I love the alternate head, I especially love the gun. Other than a battle damaged version, this is pretty much as definitive as it gets in this scale.
My ONLY problem is the leg stance they chose for this, but it might be the angles of the pics. I'm not really liking it, it seems way too wide. The pose for the T2 T-800 was perfect, and the walking stride for T-1000 was great, but this is just too much.
However, I recall people not particularly being fond of the T-1000's stance last year, but it ended up growing on them, so maybe this will be the same for me.
I'm planning on just two of this one (loose, I'll most likely get MOC versions of most of these to go along with my carded T2 Pescadero T-800, T2 Galleria T-1000, and Liquid Metal exclusives). One with sunglasses, another with the missing eye.
- Tech Noir T-800
When I first came across the pic of this figure I was thinking, "this is it, damn, the sculpt and hair is kind of weak" but the more I study the pics, the more I like what I'm seeing. I think once we get this in person, with more flattering lighting and tilt it's head down, this will be a bad ass figure.
Not sure how the gun arms work though. Are the weapons attached to his hand/arm and we have to swap them out or is the extra Uzi there for the display purposes and they'll be separate pieces?
I'm definitively getting atleast three of this one. One as a regular, one for the Uzi and another to use the burned/singed eyebrows sculpt with the rifle.
- Battle Damaged T-800
I love upper torso sculpt and paint on these two (Tech Noir and Battle Damaged) T-800s. It's nicely detailed and the paint apps on the shirt are nothing short of brilliant. I hope the final production pieces retain these details.
The gory arm damage looks more meaty and raw than the Hot Toys version. It's less clean and really looks like he got a shot gun blast to the arm, bloated and fleshy. I really like it.
Both heads look really well done but I'm really liking the burned off/singed eye brows head. The looking to the right looks great and the head overall is just really menacing. It really makes me wish I could have had that option on the Hot Toys version. But it's no loss considering I can get that here.
I'm getting two of this one, one for a regular damaged Arnold and another to throw the head on the regular Tech Noir body for a post burned, rifle toting T-800.
This summer is going to be great.

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread
The alternate gun holding arms confused me. Why is it necessary to have 2 seperate forearms? Well perhaps one of the arms has bullet damage in the jacket from when he gets shot by reese

I've had figures that I thought were fine that ended up breaking. Case in point, my Cyberdyne Showdown T-800. I had it on display with the the grenade launcher for a few months. Then when I went to change it out with the minigun, I turned the left hand and it snapped.
Everyone of my T-1000s has some problem whether it's a broken part or bad paint issues. It was impossible for me to create the perfect one out of the parts I had.
I hope that the quality control for these 5 new figures are on par with the quality control for the first T2 wave. Both Pescadero T-800s are perfect with zero issues and the paint applications on the headsculpt is immaculate. Every Arnold and T-1000 after that seemed to get worse and worse.

Glad to see the two last really needed variants for the T-1000 get made. But I really hope we get some interchangable normal parts (ie normal left arm for the biker, left foot for the Steel mill). Steel Mill isn't 100% screen accurate, but its ok for a $15 toy. If it was HT, I wouldn't expect anything but 100% screen accuracy, and well, they did

I see a T2 sculpt with spiked hair. Not too impressive thus far. The Police station shootout looks pretty cool though.

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread
I think all the T1s share the same legs. Thus the stance they chose for one is the same for them all.
its a bit wierd for the surgery figure but I suppose I'll deal with it.

My Cyberdyne T-800 had a weird bent leg which I bent upwards so that he could stand on his own.
And I almost had the same problem as Sean with the Aliens Alien, but I'm lucky the paint snapped afterwards and not the leg.

I'd still love to get a split-down-side T-1000. Its the last possible version that no company has touched.

Yeah, the only thing that bothers me is that arm. AS for the glitch effect on the boot, I quite like it. Most of the Steel Mill shots of T-1000 in the film are close ups and upper torso shots anyway, who's to say he wasn't glitching during those parts?
Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread
Well that's the price with NECA's recycling, sometimes you can find poses that work for multiple figures, they really got lucky with the T2 T-800s, but sometimes they'll work better for some but not all.
I pretty much look to NECA for variety more than overall awesomeness. You can't really top HT's figures for quality, but, with NECA, you get many more variations and representations and it's much more affordable to have them all.
