That photo of John is awesome!

Man - I know he's liquid metal but that face. He either bit into a lemon or got it stuck in a vice... I feel a bit sorry for you Terminator fans. Do you think these figures would all look better with translucent skin tones or are there some that translate better with paint? I wonder if NECA tries both on certain figures to get a better idea. Interesting to think about.

Looks fantastic to me. Very happy to see this version in the ultimate format.

 

[DiFabio]

Looks awful to me, easily the worst Ultimate T2 figure. The legs are so short and it doesn't even look like it matches with the upper portion of the figure. He's got a slight bend to his knee since they just reused the sculpt from the old 2011 figure. Doubt that can be adjusted since the joints are in the boot instead. Just doesn't look natural.







The John Connor photo is great though. Best thing about this release.

I think NECA is trying to keep consistent in overall quality with the original Terminator figures so anyone buying these to mix them into those collections will not have some figures stand out. Even the Genesis figures looks mostly like older Terminator figures and just have extra articulation.

I thought they cannot screw this up any worse than the first Ultimate T-1000... Boy, I was wrong. Robert Patrick doesn't have the longest legs but these look silly. They don't even match the height of the old figures with their legs flexed.

I don't think I'd be as harsh as DiFabio towards it but Christ, how is it possible that he looks to be even shorter than the non-helmeted Ultimate T-1000s?! - who are both already quite short.

I mean I'll take what we're being given but it's disappointing that these Ultimates have for some reason determined that the T-800 and T-1000 be shorter than the original releases.

This one is going to be a dwarf standing next to the original Motorcycle Cop figure.

tiny - 1000

 

[DiFabio]

I don't even think I'm being harsh here. It looks ugly as hell. The proportions make him look like an ape. It just isn't right. The boots and helmet alone would give him a lift over how he looks as a standard patrol man. This was evident with the older NECA figure and the Hot Toys one.

This thing is a quick after thought. The pelvis, legs and boots should be longer. What hurts it even more is that the top half from the original T-1000 doesn't even match and is clearly too big for the hips and legs. It's like the top half of him is 1/12 and the bottom half is 1/13. It's a mess.

Twitter patrol, get on the horn and find out why the hell we're getting Terminator figures with Dwarfism!

 

[DiFabio]

And get eaten alive by he NECA fanboy twitter brigade? No way.

I guess we'll just count you out of everything then Hudson!

 

[Vector]

Speaking of Hudson. Fun movie fact that I didn't realize consciously until I saw this:

The problem with talking to Randy on twitter is that damn word count limit. You can't preface your criticism with an initial praise and gratitude for everything they've done - which might avert the pitchfork reaction from the aforementioned fanboy brigade.

I refuse to put money in Randy's pockets just because I love this movie and I love action figures. I don't think they respect me enough as a customer. If he exhibited a little less ignorance and looked few seconds over these discussion he would have known better already, not to repeat the same stupid mistakes over and over again.

I think I've managed to do that in the past. Still got blocked and harassed.
