Haha, thanks. Although, PMing is a problem for me at the moment. I just sent you a visitor message.

Saw the visitor message in Notifications but it does not show up in my inbox. I tried responding to an old PM.

Did you click on your name, 'view profile' and then visitor messages next to 'my activity'?

In any case I think I'll sign up for premium membership again tomorrow. I seem to be getting a lot of PM attempts lately. None of them getting though because I'm at 961% capacity. I'd have to delete a heck of a lot of messages

Ok, found the visitor message. If I reply to it in the field above your message will it come to you?

 

[a-dev]

I think if you click on 'view conversation' and reply there I'll be notified...the thing is anyone can view visitor messages - they aren't private - so I was asking if you could respond to my email address

**** it, just ordered now. I delayed too long on a 1:10 scale picnic table in the past and it sold out. Not again.

It is a nice little table. You will like it.

Randy works with McFarlane toys -> leaves -> Randy mocks McFarlane for not pushing the envelope and sucking -> NECA toys is created -> Randy is criticized for not pushing the envelope -> Bought out by Jye and DiFabio -> lolcat toys Inc. is born -> hire a-dev as our lead project manager on the Terminator line

In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

Would you give removable maks to your predators?

 

[DiFabio]

>Implying I'd have a Predator line

 

[GasparZizou]

;_; youjust became Randy.

Its like pottery.

My Predators would be the best Predators so removable masks would be a must. I'd also negotiate with Carl Weathers, Jesse Ventura, Bill Duke, and Sonny Landham. Not before going to Nicholson and Peter Weller though.

Brilliant. Dillon/Dutch polo shirt 2pack with extra shiny skin gloss in the works?

 

[DiFabio]

Yes, and electronic voice base.

 

[GasparZizou]

Niceeee! Preordered multiples.

I am in the process of upgrading my Terminator display shelf to mini dioramas. I recently got an Ultimate Sarah Connor and had all the parts so I started with hers.

Holy hell!!!!

While NECA has produced every look from T1 and T2 of the T-800, I know a-dev would agree that the upper body articulation has heavily limited pose options, where release of re-engineered figures could result in more options. Resting shotgun on shoulder pose would be valuable for T1 and T2. I'd also like to see spike haired T1 heads that look like the T1 hair and not T2.

I know. I was just being facetious. There are still some really cool options for Terminator figures left to be done. A 7" Steel Mill T-800 with BD arm comes to mind. Make him with a swappable chest piece with a hole in the front with a matching hole in his back and then release yet another T-1000 with a metal rod as an accessory. Or a special "Steel Mill Final Fight" two pack

^^^ a-dev, I was writing this post at the same time as yours about the BD Steel Mill T-800

For starters, after John I'd retire the T-800, T-1000 and Endoskeleton sculpts and make all new ones to retool and rehash variations of. That Endoskeleton needs to be remade from scratch.

I'd actually try and make definitive versions of each character and not half ass them with old parts and janky legs. No reason why the T-800, T-1000 and Kyle Reese shouldn't have double hinged elbows and knees along with a hidden ab crunch. And give the Arnies some fists to punch things with, that's important. He punches a lot in both films.

Kyle has gotten the short end of the stick imo. He got ONE preproposed figure that only holds a shot gun and can't look good doing anything else. Kyle ran, jumped and was a very action oriented character. He didn't just wield a shot gun, he had a pistol, pipe bombs (which I'd argue are more of a signature weapon for him than the shot gun), and a pipe.

Everything A-dev listed is great too. I love the grotesque T-1000 variants. That kind of thing would be right up their alley. Instead of "Ultimates", why not waves that depict a certain scene or a scene pack like the T-1000 vs. the T-800 in the steel mill or T1 Sarah Connor and the Endoskeleton.

You could also do a Kyle Reese (future soldier) which you could make one or two more regular grunts out of, General John Connor and a Franco Columbu T-800 infilitrator (just don't make him to scale, he'd be about as tall as Newt).




EDIT:


*sees Vector's post*

Ohhhh


Yeah when I think of T2, I think of the Steel Mill. Imagine last year if they actually had an anniversary Steel Mill wave for T2. Steel Mill T-800 with swappable parts, T-1000 with swappable parts. A bloodied up/wounded Sarah Connor (with T-1000 disguise parts). John Connor with his back pack and accessories.

That's not even that much of a hard-to-do demand when they have 98% of the parts for those first three figures alone.

You guys nailed it with all this by the way. There is still real potential not only for new figures like John Connor and Cleaved Man T-1000 but there's potential to make us buy everything we already have all over again.
