I think you're full of **** Knox.

But yeah Randy can't take any criticism at all. He'll block any naysayers.

It's the same sculpt.

Don't suppose anyone with a Twitter account can tweet and ask if they plan to use flesh coloured plastic can they?

He replied-

"Painted"

So it looks like all Terminator stuff will match.

Trying to find that image of the battle damaged head they teased last year on their twitter banner. I think it was for toy fair or comic con. Anyone remember that?

Pretty sure it was for the 1/4 Arnie. Maybe it will have an alternate head?

Can you ask Randy to send me a new 1/4 Alien and IM.

I hope they don't use the injected flesh plastic. I don't know why you guys like that, it makes the heads look cheaper and they skimp out on paint apps and details on the face.

It worked great for Gollum, but let's be honest, the technique was used for the Dutch and Rocky figures because their bodies needed to be flesh colored and that was the only cost effective way to get the skin of the head to match the arms and body.

A figure like a fully clothed Terminator doesn't need it. Period. The paint applications for the Ultimate Tech Noir and Police Shoot are superior to Dutch, John Matrix, etc. especially the eyes and lips. Injection flesh on a 1:4 figure? That would look awful.

Didn't they already do 1/4 injection flesh on Dutch? I don't remember thinking he looked bad...

But I agree that the painted looks better, and I like having it all match.

Either way it is a moot point. Randy just confirmed it will be painted.

I could have sworn you were making the opposite argument when you were posting pics of the Evil Dead Ash figures...they are injected flesh tone if I recall. Guess you were just talking about the sculpts?

But anyway I've been looking for injected flesh tone based on the Aliens Marines - Hicks, Hudson, Frost all have various ugly paint issues - flaking, scratches and general messiness. Vasquez with her injected flesh tone came out just about perfectly on the other hand.

I just can't see that happening. They never load their 1:4 scale figures with heavy duty weapons or accessories like that. They didn't give Batman his steel gauntlet (instead they included a cheap three pronged grapple hook nobody uses), both Penguins never got an umbrella, etc. etc.

To date I believe their Deadpool has the most weapons and accessories. You also have to take into account the minigun fitting in their uniformed box format. It'd be almost half the size of the figure. I'd don't think it would even fit on the side disassembled.

Have you seen their Deadpool he comes with a crap load of stuff.

 

[jye4ever]

He mentioned DP in his analysis.

It could be that NECA has turned the corner, we'll know soon enough come Feb.

You'll have to look back at what I said. I don't remember praising the injected plastic tone method for Ash as much as I was the sculpt work and paint applications (I'm pretty sure they painted some flesh tones and wash over the plastic instead of leaving them unpainted like they usually do, but I could be wrong).

I just don't like it on most of their figures. Works on Vasquez, but that's because they actually put some effort into her eyes, mouth, etc. Something like Dutch, Rocky or even the upcoming Hicks and Hudson doesn't look right to me. They always have poorly painted dot eyes, minimal paint and purplish lips like they're frozen or edible treats or something.

DiFabio has to have it. He keeps everything.

I wish. I actually went back and looked to see it again and I can't find it. I thought maybe it was on my old phone, but nope, got nothing. I use up a lot of space on my PC/Mac/phone and clear everything once in a while. That was from like February of last year so it's long gone.

We all remember it. He was to the far left of the banner I think. Randy even confirmed it was 1/4 to me awhile back. There's no doubt in my mind that we'll see it pop up eventually. It was planned for 2016 then something happened.

 

[sallah]

Crappy quality but found it-



And I think the thing that happened that pushed the 1/4 scale (and the 7" Galleria T-800) back was the delay in the release of T2 in 3D. It was supposed to be out in 2016 for the 25th, but is arriving this year instead.

I don't like the semi damaged head in toy format, looks like he has a nasty skin disease.

NECA wishes their BvS head looked like that.
