Is necas figure scale about 1:10?
Roughly, their figures are about 7" tall, which is about a 1/10 scale version of a 6 foot tall human.

Yeah, it's not exactly 1/10, but it's close enough. And NECA seems to be a lot more conscientious about keeping its figures to scale as opposed to, say, HT.

Here's an old, crappy pic but you can see the scale with a McFarlane figure and I want to say that's a NECA Endo:
No that's the McFarlane Endo. The inaccuracy of that torso and the tiny plasma ''rifle'' astounded me even at the time.

So im sure most of you have discussed this at length, but im just jumping in here. With Necas new direction with these "ultimate figs" what more do you guys want? (obviously all) so lets do top 3?
1. Kyle Reese- Biehn (redo of 84 is the obvious one, but I would love a Future Reese most of all)
2. Salvation John Connor (opening design)
3. Salvation Marcus (Blue trench coat would be ideal)

I like the Ultimate approach so far, I don't mind paying a little more to get a better arsenal with a character. I don't see the Arnold rereleases tempting me as I don't care about the leg articulation, so it's new characters/versions that I'm after (but it's a very smart way to get the figures back out there, and he's always good to anchor a line).
My top 3:
1.] 'Terminator 3' T-850 (I need an updated T3 Arnold in my life. Perfect fit for the ultimate line. The higher price point could allow for his coffin and weapons.)
2.] 'Terminator 3' T-X (The added articulation would work well for this character, and she has a good amount of interchangeable parts.)
3.] 'Terminator' Kyle Reese (I'm glad just to own him, but I think he would benefit most for an updated sculpt as he wasn't quite nailed the first time.)
I like a Future Kyle too but with so much tooling and not a lot of accessory options, maybe he'd be better served in a 2-pack with an endo or a future John.

Well, just no point whatsoever in even mentioning T2 John or T1 Sarah is there.
So I'll go with:
Tech Noir T-800 (clean and BD combo)
Police Shootout T-800 (clean and BD combo)
T3 T-850 (usual 3 head* set-up on clean body - alas that full BD version from the end would need to be a separate figure)
*clean sunglasses head/BD sunglasses head/some other BD head without sunglasses (can't really remember the stages of BD he went through)
I don't see much ''ultimate'' potential for Kyle Reese - not like you can switch out clothes like a Hot Toys figure (unless they go with softgoods *shudder*) - not like he needs multiple heads. I mean by all means make a Kyle Reese from the end of T1 with that other coat and make a 2029 version, I'll buy them, but it doesn't seem like they would be in this ''Ultimate'' sub-category of the line.

How many T-800s did you get?

He could come with bare arms to switch out the coat, and an extra head for his wounded later appearance I guess. He had a couple of different guns and his home made explosives too. You're right that he doesn't quite fit the 'ultimate' mold like the other figures so far have though.
He takes a fair amount of head damage through the film with very little changes to his body. 3 head options would be easy. He has half his face burnt off by the TX toward the end, that'd make for a great sculpt.
Cool idea with the arms. Conceivably if they did that you could have both coats and an option to have him in just the vest as per the police interrogation and bomb-making scenes. Very good idea actually. Although, I doubt they'd do it for Reese. Unfortunately he's considered a ''side character'' pretty much.
I've realised my memory of T3 is clearer than it has any right to be - he initially finds sunglasses in the first vehicle he steals - there's one headsculpt. Then he gets his face cut up and loses the sunglasses in the crane truck chase scene - another possible headsculpt. Later he steals what seems like an identical new pair of sunglasses at a gas station and he has those all the way up to the TX fight at the CRS facility - a third headsculpt. In the fight with the TX one side of his face is fried, some more endoskeleton exposed and his eye is bloodshot on that side - a fourth headsculpt. Then there's his final look where you can stupidly see through his head due to badly-referenced CGI work - a fifth headsculpt.

**** it why not.
Incidentally the T-850 must have fashion-awareness subroutines in addition to his psychology ones. Otherwise why would he cast those sunglasses aside? He knew they were joke glasses?

That's true, Terminators are fashion as ****.

Yeah, and why would he get new glasses at the gas station? What was the thought process behind that decision? He doesn't need them. Does he want to look good before the world ends?

^ In fairness to that in T3, the Terminator never needed sunglasses beyond the first film. It just looked cool and became a thing.
I agree, though he is surely the 2nd biggest character to pull from the first film if Neca want to milk the ultimate line. With 3 figures confirmed from T2, a new Reese isn't a total impossibility.

It works in T2 though, it's a laugh right after a scare thinking he's going to harm the bar owner. It gets ridiculous in T3 because first he puts on silly glasses, and as mentioned, how would he know good ones from bad ones. Then later, after he loses them, he jumps at a chance to replace them. In T3 they're only comedy and that's what rubs people the wrong way.
