Re: NECA T2 in store pics

I think with Terminator, you would also reach out to Joe public and get them interested in buying an 18" figure... i don't think it's something only collectors would buy.

Re: NECA T2 in store pics

Could some one with both man and machine & the pescedaro figures post pics of the heads swapped round? Thanks.

Re: NECA T2 in store pics

The sculptor of the NECA figures confirmed it'd be one figure, like their Rob Zombie Michael Myers had swappable heads.

That is good news then. Its great when they do the swapable head thing, which is why those Predator variants seemed so low-blow. Could have easily just been a headswap accessory.

Would they really advertise a completely different figure by way of showing an alternate head on the same picture?

If it is just the variant, then yes. It is quite common to show the a variant like that, especially if it is just a variant headsculpt. But luckily Maulfan is saying they've confirmed a swapable head

Re: NECA T2 in store pics

Re: NECA T2 in store pics

Not really that posable in terms of the 18 inch version. The quality is good enough not great but then for the price you get what you pay for in fairness. You can bend him legs arms and midsection as well as hands in rotation but really not great posability and your always limited in the poses you can set him in. But still its a great figure for the price and did i mention before....LIGHT UP EYES!....sorry but u can't beat the old light up eyes on the terminator figures.

To be honest I always have difficulty in trying to get it into a good pose so i settle for the t2 opening sequence pose during the future war as the camera focus on him crushing a skull then zooming up to him looking around at an explosion.

Re: NECA T2 in store pics

i now have all 3 figures so far, seems FYE is the place to get then. my favorite is the pscardo escape arnie, and i LOOOOOOOOVE the fact that they gave him ball jointed elbows, because now you can put him in more poses. you can recreate all the scenes from the movie, from holding out the rifle with one hand "get down" scene, to holding it up badass style when he walks out of the elevator in slowmo. from the looks of it, the minigun arnie aka cyberdyne assualt looks like the elbows will be the same as the pascardo arnold which would be great cuz that means more poses. and the one good arm on the final battle arnie look BJ's as well.

also what i love is that you can swap heads with virtually all the arnies! i popped off the arm-revealing arnies head and put it on pescardo arnie so you can make those scenes where hes wearing no sunglasses like in the movie. you can also add sunglasses top arm revealing arnie, he still looks cool lol! so what im planning to do is takeing the spare head from the final battle arnie (the one with the minimal battle damage) and putting it on minigun arnie, then taking the bazooka from my T3 arnie and putting it in minigun arnies hand and viola, ultimate accurate cyberdyne assualt arnie! these figures beat the crap out of those mcfarlane T3 ones. these look more like arnie and have more articulation!

Re: NECA T2 in store pics

I don't remember there being a bazooka with either a T3 figure or in the cyberdyne assault scenes of T2. Unless you meant the grenade launcher but the one in T2 was a teargas gun - its close in appearance I suppose, so not a bad idea. The only problem is in the SWAT scene he also received his chest battledamage so just putting a BD head on wouldn't make it completely accurate. Ideally you could swap out the arms on these figures aswell so you could have the battedamaged chest of the BD figure with the intact arms of the mini-gun figure.

Perhaps the final battle figure will come with an interchangable arm too?

Doubt it.

My message is not too short.

yeah your right, totally forgot. yeah that bazooka thing that came with the "standard" T3 arnie is close enough in apearance to pass for the teargas gun but yeah his chest has to be damaged. so i guess to get a really accurate one you'd have to get another pescardo arnie, remove the left arm and somehow replace it on the final battle arnie. thing is, im not too good with that kinda thing, like i dont know how i would replace the arm and still have full range of motion cuz i dont know how neca puts the arms on. its not your typical BJ shoulder.

Re: NECA T2 in store pics

thing is, im not too good with that kinda thing,

Neither am I. I was hoping NECA would make it easy for us. Oh well, we can still get a lot of use out of these figures, even better if you have the McFarlane MM4 too. Its the paint jobs I'm mainly worried about right now.

Re: NECA T2 in store pics

yes i have the mcfarlane T2 figure but its more like a statue then an action figure. great detail though, but i prefer figures with more articulation.

Well I doubt you'd be able to replicate the McFarlane figure's pose even with an articulated figure so its a good one to have nevertheless, especially when we put a BD NECA head on it.

Re: NECA T2 in store pics

I managed to get some free time so took a few shots of the endo:

Before painting the eye's

And after...

I personally think it looks alot better.

Here is another shot!

Cheers

Re: NECA T2 in store pics

You've improved it alright but i still think something is terribly off about that headsculpt.
