Hey a-dev, check out this tweet. Maybe he is going to happen after all.

We do have his rights

Replying to @NECA_TOYS

that's a shame. Do you guys have the likeness to Furlong's John Connor from T2? Or is that just a pipe dream for me?

 

[a-dev]

You would think. I mean telling us they have his likeness rights - but never using them - would seem improper.

I am thinking that we may see him at this years SDCC holding the Cyberdyne endo forearm that was shown a while back.

How many times before has this question been asked, and he side stepped a definitive answer, or replied sales would not justify. Hopefully with the demand and sales of Newt, convinces to them too take the risk for JC, since they have no intention of Ultimate Reese.

Hopefully yes. To my knowledge, this is the most direct answer that Randy has ever given concerning T2 John Connor to indicate that he may actually be made at some point. At any rate, hope springs eternal...

Got that anniversary T-800 today. It's nice, a must for anyone who somehow doesn't already have a Galleria T-800. This look is the ideal choice for the anniversary and it's nice that the legs aren't in a fixed pose anymore - he looks really good just 'standing still' like in the scene where John is telling him about his mom - the ''but everything she said was true. And nobody believed her..not even me'' scene. This figure really nails Arnie's T2 proportions and the sunglasses head is still pretty cool - at this scale at least. On close inspection there's some paint errors on mine which always sucks.

The downers we've discussed before but I'm going to raise them again - the rosebox is a great addition but the lack of any roses to go inside it is inexplicable. Also, what's the use in providing accessories that he can't hold properly? The handgun he can hold but he can't aim it realistically because these hands are designed for the shotgun specifically - nor can he grip the rosebox. Provide alternate hands for godsakes. That alone would have made this release so much better. Considering the amount of reuse they've gotten out of this general sculpt surely they could have sculpted some new hands.

Anyway, I just got one for now. I will probably get some more down the line because I do really like the articulated legs - I may replace a few of my older variants with this. They did a better job on these legs than they did on the T1 Ultimates - whose waists and legs look kinda scrawny IMO.

I wanted to get one but I feel content with my old one i just feel it isn't worth it fully for me.

According to Randy on twitter the 1:4 scale figure could be out as early as next week.

Man I hope it looks better than the promo shots... They're piss poor paint job makes him look like a fricking zombie... Should have gone with flesh coloured plastic like the 1/4 Dutch. Fingers crossed he's better on release.

every time Neca uses "flesh coloured plastic" people say "should have used skin paint"

That's very true. NECA can't win here. And honestly I could never bring myself to buy the Dutch figure with his damn eyes. Either way a 1:4 scale NECA human figure would really benefit from a repaint so I don't think I care how they do it - unless they decide to start charging us the extra for proper high end paintjobs right out the gate.

 

[DiFabio]

I wish Enterbay did a third Arnold.

 

[a-dev]

2 more - a proper Cyberdyne version with Scuderia doing the clean headsculpt this time and a semi-BD figure...also with Scuderia doing the headsculpt.

 

[DiFabio]

It's a shame their movie figures died so prematurely. They were getting better and better with each subsequent release. While the first regular Arnold didn't impress me and I was too scared to pose it, they made up for it with the Battle Damaged and T-1000.

Imagine if they had done Tech Noir or Police Shootout.

Got my rose box T-800 from BBTS today. Nice figure. Good paint apps and joints. It really should be though with all of the practice that NECA has had making this figure.

Anyway, I replaced the olive shirt, glove handed T-800 that was riding the Harley with the new one. I also removed the mirrors and reflectors on the motorcycle to make it more closely match the on screen bike.

I have never owned anything smaller than 1/6 but if the Dutch is anything to go by it should be the standard for there bigger pieces. Also the Alien figures I've seen in 7" with the same flesh plastic look pretty awesome as well.

I repainted my Dutch's wonky eyes so an easy fix. I'll end up repainting the 1/4 Arnold headsculpt as well no doubt. Whatever they do with the final figure in I'm eager to see final pics.

i own several Neca humans with visible faces (Vasquez/Dallas/Ripley 2 variants/Amanda Ripley/Frost/Gordon Freeman/Chell), and only "flesh plastic" looks good (Vasquez), but it is also the only "flesh plastic" figure i have.
