Official NECA Terminator Thread

Old stuff from like 2003. The line got cancelled. It was going to be a line of super articulated 3 3/4" figures and vehicles.

 

[a-dev]

That's a pity. SA figures and even vehicles, I would have bought them. Then again maybe I wouldn't because I wasn't aware they existed as an idea let alone as prototypes till last year.

 

[DiFabio]

If they went up for sale, I would have no doubt bought all of them back in the day. Might have even army built the soldiers and endos or some crazy ****.

 

[henzINNIT]

Are they the Palisades figures? I was gutted when the company went under. They were great.

 

[DiFabio]

Yup, that was it, Palisades.

Heads up to anyone interested, the Galleria T-800 has hit Toys R Us. My store just got 8 in today. The little plastic hook tabs were still on the pegs. The adhesive must not have been strong enough and 6 of the figure boxes were off the pegs on the floor and lower shelves.

I looked through them and the paint apps on most of them are pretty bad. Over half have these ridiculous looking painted eyebrows that make him look like he's shocked or surprised. Tons of blemishes on them. Also if you look, there's been molding damage to all the heads on the left sunglasses where it looks like the original mold cracked, it's pretty ugly looking and was on every single one. No doubt a case of an 8 year old sculpt being constantly put into distribution.

The paint on the regular, non-sunglasses heads looked pretty good though. No pink lips, no bright hair, no goof my eyes.

Sounds crap. Although I have plenty of spares of that head from previous releases.

For budgeting purposes I reduced my order to just one of the T2:3D figure to ship alongside that Phicen body that BBTS finally got in stock. I'll just order more at some later date if I still want them.

 

[DiFabio]

It's going to be one of those releases like the Box Endoskeleton and Box Old chap that will be mass produced till the end of time I reckon. Probably plenty of opportunities to get them on clearance. So yeah, smart move. I bet around fall/winter you'll be able to get a ton for cheap for whatever bashes you have in mind.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Too bad about the bad head, but I just want the body.

 

[a-dev]

Too bad about the bad head, but I just want the body.

So did this guy



Well...actually I think he would have liked both.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Poor choice of words. But yeah, I want the black shirt and gloveless hands. I can take the other "ultimate" head with the sunglasses and use it on the 3D version.

And if the 3D head without the sunglasses is better, then I give that one to the minigun/ultimate figure

Still need a full BD T2 version, but I'm happy with the BD head that came with the Ultimate, even if the blood looks like ketchup

 

[ApeManRyan]

Yeah was just at my Toys R Us and the new T2 3D T-800 were out but mine didn't have those issues above but I still passed since i'm pretty content with my series 1 Galleria Arnie. I'm surprised because I really thought I would pick one up but just didn't appeal to me.

My newest shelf diorama.


Police Station Assault

















My shelf dio progress thus far.

 

[DiFabio]

Awesome work. I can't think of a better way of displaying that Genisys T-1000. I love the two environments side by side too. Now make a third one where he's all bloodied up and limping on the highway and you have the perfect trio.

 

[ApeManRyan]

Brilliant!

 

[Vector]

Thanks a lot guys.

 

[KoBE]

Thanks a lot guys.

Excellent work! Do you do any private commissions?

 

[Vector]

Excellent work! Do you do any private commissions?

Thanks very much. I haven't really thought about doing any commissions. These dios are not really something that I could replicate into a finished or kit form and sell for a reasonable price. But who knows, somewhere down the line I may try to put something together and gauge interest. Thanks for asking.

Love seeing your stuff Vector. You and Stefan are the P. of NECA Terminator.
