Official NECA Terminator Thread

[scarrviper]

Sad to se nothing new, but I guess it was to be expected. Hopefully we get more in the future.

All in all, I feel like this is a weaker representation for NECA at SDCC compared to past years, in terms of the number of new things they're unveiing.

All in all, I feel like this is a weaker representation for NECA at SDCC compared to past years, in terms of the number of new things they're unveiing.

As far as my own interests it's been extremely underwhelming, even with Alien and Predator.

Aliens: They should have saved Burke for the big day. I'm a big child, you can't show me that the week beforehand and expect me not to look for more on the day itself - I just can't help myself. Videogame stuff doesn't excite me - these are movie licenses - movie-stuff is the big draw. I would have been overjoyed seeing Burke for the first time at the Con. Also Randy was hyping up character debuts - plural. The other 'character' ended up being James Cameron. While nifty and a nice tribute - that's not a 'character'. That's not what anyone was ever going to assume he meant when he said there was more character debuts to come. Everyone was thinking it'd be Gorman or Drake. So I do feel like Randy misspoke there and got people unduly excited.

Predator: Again, as far as debuts, just videogame and Kenner stuff or whatever. Good for some but this whole thing started with a movie, not a videogame, not an original toyline or a comic. They had their movie stuff on display but nothing previously unseen. What was that Hawkins coke bottle tease? I was hoping to find Hawkins - alas, no blood, no bodies - we hit nothing!

Robocop: Well, I had no expectations here really. As I've always said, Robocop is relatively better served at larger scales and in high end. I've never really felt any regret about how limited the NECA collection is. I'm indifferent to what they had at the show - I mean this Robo/Terminator hybrid stuff looks silly as **** to me, but it isn't there taking up space I'd rather have seen occupied by something else. If even the title character can't be done justice then I don't really care if there isn't a Clarence Boddicker etc

Terminator: Terrible showing. Nothing we haven't already seen umpteen times over.

Randy just read that as praise lol.

 

[a-dev]

I think it would be read as criticism which cancels out any praise I've ever given. There's definitely lurkers who would read it like that.

I do have a lot of praise and gratitude for NECA and the collection they've given me. However this is my reaction to SDCC 2017 as it pertains to my favoured licenses - I'm not gonna lie about it - it's been disappointing. All the really good stuff had already been shown. I do understand that fans of nostalgic video-games will be happy, as will horror fans by the looks of it - they can't please everyone equally all of the time.

But uhhh



aaaaaaand GIF isn't working. But you know the one.

 

[jye4ever]

lol

DiFabio tried to save you from the pain a-dev.

Young fool only now at the end do you understand.

On a sad note:

From Toyark

Yeah.. Not fixed.

whoever posed that flyer gun had never seen a terminator movie.
(though it's obvious already from posing the tank)
does NECA illegally hire immature kids to work for their exhibitions?

 

[Vector]

So I went back and looked at the endo arm that was teased a little over a year ago.





I wanted to make sure that it was not actually meant for this all along:





The two arms do resemble each other but do not appear to be the same. And the first one definitely looks like a T2 accessory since it is on the pedestal with the tube. But, no John at SDCC this year again, so the mystery continues...

 

[Justcrash]

Robocop VS terminator is one of my all time favorite comic series so I am actually pretty jazzed about these figures. It's a very dark read.

 

[a-dev]

And what the hell is this kid?

 

[jye4ever]

lolololololol

 

[a-dev]

But T2 John Connor isn't marketable, not enough reuse potential etc etc

Tha ***k.

That will definitely sell better than John Connor.

 

[jye4ever]

It was overheard on the convention floor Randy saying:

"a-dev is online right now at sideshow freaks reveal this unknown zombie kid now!"

 

[a-dev]

It does feel like we're being trolled here. Who the **** is that kid? Who was asking for him? Lets ignore all the people asking for John Connor from T2, one of our staple licenses, and make some random Zombie kid instead.

 

[snoop101]

That's really cool. I kind of felt like my collection could use a little zombie boy. Thanks NECA. More video game/ neon aliens too please.

I've wondered a few times who actually poses the displays. The more diorama type ones are usually good, but some of the others seem like they've just been shoved on the shelf by minions. You'd think they'd take a bit more pride in getting it perfect. I know I spend to much time fiddling with the poses of figures on my shelves.

 

[Vector]

Maybe I can use him in my BioShock diorama as a little brother. Although they never actually appeared in the game...

 

[rjszar]

I think he'll go great with these two. CAN'T WAIT!

Reported all of you to Chris Hansen for having unhealthy urges for a toy of a 10-year-old boy. You should be campaigning for waitress Sarah instead.

a-dev can share a cell with jye and his pug posters.
