I did not notice the height discrepancy until you guys brought it up. That does kinda suck that he's not quite in scale with the others.

I'll still pick him up since I don't have the original release, but it's a little sad. As for him being an afterthought, if I remember correctly, Neca wasn't originally planning on making this one, but the fans asked for it enough so they changed their mind, or something like that.

I will say that I do like how the paintjob look a lot cleaner than the old one, and I like the blue they went with for the uniform. Plus I'm glad they included both trigger hands and that split open head that was missing from the regular ultimate t-1000.
 
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'm just not that principled. :lol I need a fix of some sort as I collect ****-all these days and no one else is making Terminator anymore.

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

Well lets not bother with that then.


Lance Henriksen is also a member of that very exclusive club...

If only they'd been part of Clarence Boddicker's gang they could have been killed by Robocop aswell.

The new helmetless sculpt looks weird. The previous sculpt looked better for some reason.


It's the 5th time that sculpt has been reused and it's painted poorly. Not as bad as the one that was on the Steel Mill T-1000 a few years ago, but pretty close. I'm sure there has been degradation, this happened with the Star Wars figures that Hasbro would constantly rerelease. After awhile even the best mold looked like crap.

Best regular headsculpts as far as mold, flashing, QC and paint apps is the Ultimate T-1000 imo. They painted the eyes really well on that one.

I'm surprised you're not as bothered by this as I am a-dev. I want to buy as much T1 and T2 stuff as I can because I'm in the same boat as you, but I have zero enthusiasm for this one. I'm the kind of guy that would have bought multiples of this too to have a Steel Mill version. Now? I don't think I could even be fussed with one of them. It's such an ugly looking figure.


The original is way better as far as proportions go. Sucks that he's in a non-neutral stance though. I'll take this one over that ones inhuman anatomy though.

I don't disagree with that and it does bother me. My being bothered will manifest - as it always has - by me still buying the stuff and just complaining about it every few weeks or months. :lol

I wonder if there's a mod we could do to bring the legs further down out of the pelvis part. Although even if that would work the thought of having to do it to multiple figures :slap
 
I don't see how they weren't taking these issues into account when they were designing the lower half. The legs are literally all they had to get right for this release, that's it. Everything else was already made and developed. I really don't think we're being nitpicky jerks about this either. I just don't feel any love or craftsmanship in these Terminator releases they have been doing, it's just not there. They're already saving so much on the tooling that it's kind of insulting that they can't get the legs and proportions right.
 
The phrase 'giveth with one hand and taketh away with the other' comes to mind with the Ultimate Terminators.


It's quite something that they managed to make a T-1000 who is wearing boots and a helmet shorter than the already short Galleria version. I really didn't see that coming.

Yeah I think I'm gonna see if there's any customising that could be done here.

"Very exciting product offerings next week including new items from T2 and a surprise return of something you didn't think would happen..." - NECA

Naked Arnie confirmed! :lecture
 
Ooooooh!! Exciting.

Wonder what the surprise return is....12'' figures?

Cinemachines most likely.

Actually that's probably right, I did recently see a tweet saying that the next series of those would be announced in the coming weeks.

Hope there's also some new figures though :pray:


Heck here's a tweet about the cinemachines

Wave 3 is coming, Terminator based - 2 vehicles. offer soon
 
A-Dev I'm hoping there's a John Connor reveal for you and all of us next week. Fingers crossed!


Ooooooh!! Exciting.

Rereading the tweet, and coupled with the other one I quoted, I have to agree with you guys - it's probably just the formal announcement and preorder for the T2 cinemachines rather than any new figures. Consider me pre-disappointed :lol ( :banghead )

The returning thing.....all the Lost Predators in one or 2 multipacks?
