Official NECA Terminator Thread

[MaulFan]

My experience with the flesh plastic at the 7" scale is limited to Rambo, but my opinion is that at that scale, it sucks, you loose so much of the sculpt detail, even if the overall look is more like skin than paint, at least the heads, the Rambo bodies look great, the heads look weak. I also feel that NECA has consistency issues, I've seen Vasquez pics and she looks fine, but Aliens is a big line for them so I'm sure it gets the best compared to Rambo, but at this point, Terminator seems half assed by NECA so you're better off with painted flesh.

Unfortunately NECA has never provided alternate hands for the T2 T-800 so he's limited to holding the shotgun with that hand.

Yeah, a-dev is right. I tried to make the new T-800 hold the shotgun with his left hand but it was fairly loose in his hand. The gloved figure with the same left hand held the shotgun fine, probably due to the extra material of the glove. I will probably try to put a small piece of electrical tape or something in the left hand of the new T-800 so that he can hold the shotgun in the correct hand. It may look a little wonky however since he is kind of doing a thumbs up with that hand and the gloved hand masked that somewhat when he was holding the shotgun.

He holds the gun with his right hand on the movie poster so it's tolerable for me...but I still really wish NECA would give alternative hands with these figures.

Fingers crossed for news on the 1/4 this week....

Totally forgot about the 1/4 T-800 Terminator. I had originally convinced myself I didn't need it, but seeing pictures of it again I definitely can't pass it up. Especially considering pretty much all my collection is Star Wars, Marvel and DC so it would be nice to get something different for once.

Is the figure still set to release this month or has it been pushed to June?

 

[a-dev]

Probably June at this point.

@NECA_TOYS I know we've addressed this before but what's the likelihood of T2 John Conner?

answer: Same as before, could happen but no immediate plans and kids are always a tough sell

Hard to see when would be a better year to release him so I hope this is just Randy trying to throw us off much like how he constantly (and recently) denied having any likeness rights for the P1 special forces team and yet seemingly now Hawkins is happening (or if not then that teaser was cruel and ill-advised)

Really is time for new leadership at NECA.

Deals are my art form. I like making deals, preferably big deals. Nobody makes better deals than me. I'll get Peter Weller and Jack Nicholson to fold. Trust me.

You should grab Jenette Goldstein's ***** during your license meeting with her.

 

[a-dev]

I dunno, the various ****teasing notwithstanding if he actually does get T2 John made and that Hawkins is for real (and wasn't just some reference to them making figures from Shane Black's new Predator film, which was surely already a given) - then I won't mind Randy getting another term.

I was looking at the NECA collection again last night and thinking how I could only have dreamed about all this stuff in the McFarlane days. All McFarlane made was creatures, and not even all that many variants of those - usually ridiculously inaccurate. For Terminator all they made was T3 figures and a single no-likeness T2 T-800. The solitary thing they have over NECA is that pretzel man T-1000. Hot Toys have ****ed off to superheroes and Star Wars - really no one can compare to NECA when it comes to these classic licenses.

I just dipped into reality there with most of that post.

How bad will you cry if John isn't a SDCC exclusive and no new movie Terminator stuff is shown?

What will you do if that tease is red shirt Dutch?

 

[a-dev]

I'll be confused and pissed off if John isn't at SDCC this summer admittedly. ''Kid figures are a tough sell'' - and yet Newt and yet Kevin McCallister. T2 back in cinemas this year - what possible better time could there be?

Having said that it doesn't mean we shouldn't give credit where it's due on everything they've done up to this point. And all of that stuff is why I still have some optimism.

This is a cool little Sarah Connor Picnic Table Dio - I actually already had this scene set up as of recently courtesy of Vector's direction to a different 1:10 scale picnic table - however I went ahead and bought this one anyway as it had a nice base and few extras to lay out on the table. No regrets. This new table is better, slightly bigger and with proper weathering.
