Hmmm, the stance on the T-1000s looks like its going to be susceptible to some unwanted leaning and even falling over.

I wish they didn't mix scenes!
Yeah we're gonna have to do a whole bunch of partswapping between 3 figures to have a clean Steel mill T-1000 which guarantees multiple purchasing - NECA will be dismayed to hear that.
Looks like the stabbing finger is extra long (on the prototype anyway) - that be the one he impales sarah with through her shoulder. We already have the right handed stabbing finger from a previous T-1000 which was a shorter blade that he just aims in her face threateningly. So theres the ingredients for that scene.
Damn, I'm gonna have a hard time sussing out what I need to get so I can do all the scenes I want to do. I assumed there'd be another clean headsculpt so I don't think I bought enough Gallerias to cover the scenes from the beginning of the film all the way up to the end. I'm gonna have to take another look at what I do have. With all the HT excitement I kinda forgot. Happy days.

So theres no BD figure representing his condition after he gets run over by the tanker truck and the subsequent chase scene. Wonder does that in fact mean, as I think Maulfan suggested, there'll be another series for T1 with Kyle Reese and one centrepiece T-800 figure. Will they surprise us with a 'boring human'? Would it be worth their while pursuing Biehn's likeness rights? I shall meditate on this.
I think 1 police shootout figure will do me. OK maybe 2 just because. Its just theres not many different scenes or shots that can't be replicated in one go or with a minor reposing with the figure as it is.
1-4 Tech Noirs for use of different guns (including PS's 12 gauge autoloader) and different poses
2 surgerys, one to stay as is and one to convert into the shotgun wielding eyebrowless head from the garage chase.
Theres actually no scene-accurate use for the exposed endo-eye headsculpt they're providing with the PS figure. I can think of only 2 scenes where he wasn't wearing the gargoyles when his face had only that level of damage - the actual eye surgery (but that was before he put on the leather jacket) and when hes sat on the bed reading Sarah's diary - but none of these figures have the ability to recreate either of those scenes, so that headsculpt is pretty much just spare.

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread
Not majorly fond of the stances for either the T-800s or the T-1000s to be honest. They could all potentially have leaning problems. Its alright for the Tech Noir T-800 (probably the one the pose is tailored for), passable though not ideal for the Police shootout and plain wierd for the surgery figure - unless you do the partswapping needed to give him the shotgun.
My meditation was inconclusive. With extreme bias I'd like to say Yes, Neca absolutely should pursue making Reese.

Great additions to the NECA Terminator army. I see little to no problems with these figures.

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread
NECA stated that there will be three waves in the new Terminator line.. so if what they revealed was wave 1.. there are two waves left.. im sure two versions of kyle reese, a bd T1, and a new endoskeleton are all planned

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread
I don't remember them saying that but cool if true.
I still wouldn't necessarily bank on Reese though - it could just be more T-800s such as BD (obviously) but also Eye surgery or figures based on promo images like the iconic film poster.

I think they all look great, I just wish necas paint apps were better. I only ended up buying a few figures from there T2 line because the paint on all of them was horrible. Even the ones I bought still look pretty bad.

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread
I also hope that the paintjob is better than T2.
What does that now come out yet ?
A future War Kyle Reese, a 1984 Kyle Reese, a new Endoskeleton, a battle damage Police Shotout T-800 ?
I hope that Kyle Reese has the Michael Biehn Likeness.

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread
Hmm, maybe NECA and Hot Toys will treat Kyle Reese the way they treated T-1000? I remember when T-1000 was just a dream for the Hot Toys and NECA lines and then 2010 BOOM, maybe late 2011/2012?

That would be pretty cool. Plus there 12'' have better paint apps.
