Official NECA Terminator Thread

At least with the sunglasses on it looks pretty good. Also I guess most people missed those box picture; they have been out for a while now.

Does look better with glasses, like the 1/12 figures. But at this scale, as has been said, the face sculpt is not good enough. For the minigun look, I wouldn't want to display with the glasses, for obvious scene accuracy reasons. So this is a non starter.

They can do so much better likeness-wise these days. I think they should of made the effort, seeing as they are reusing everything.

Even then though to be honest, I'd prefer an endoskeleton. (A new vastly improved endoskeleton.)

They've been reusing the Endoskeleton even longer than Pescadero Escape T-800 - didn't that Cult Classics Endo come out back in 2003 or something? They've done maybe 2 new heads for it (including the infamous ''get off my lawn'' sculpt) but they've never changed the rest of it. It surely warrants a complete do-over. Although personally I would have no particular enthusiasm for that - like Robocop, I just don't think it can be well represented at low-end.

has it the glasses or two heads?

 

[a-dev]

Removable sunglasses.

"Has it the glasses?"

Too funny.

What an overall disappointing comic con presentation from NECA. I can't get over how lame it was. Especially with the "game changer"
comment. Randy is a moron.

I can't help but think it was just a misguided pun. It was definitely in reference to the Alien line, right? And the new stuff from the Alien line was those video-game aliens - and it was a game they hadn't previously made figures for?? They 'changed games' - a 'game changer'?

I definitely think he was referring to the James Cameron figure when he said game changer as it is his first figure and it is different for the Aliens line. I just don't think he knew how little we would want it as although I'm a big Cameron fan (pre Titanic) I don't feel the need to have a figure of him.

 

[a-dev]

Ah, yeah you're probably right. That being the case I still think it was misguided to use the expression 'game changer'. For the reason you mention and also because there's the implication that it opens up new possibilities...and I can't think of anything else the Cameron figure would lead to.

Maybe he was thinking that he could do more filmmakers in the future, although James Cameron is bad enough and as good of directors as they are would anyone want figures of Ridley Scott, John McTiernan, Wes Craven etc..

Very niche. Anything but John Connor, right?

Its niche but also cheap to make which is the NECA way. They did the Ali Vs Superman set which was totally niche but that was just the Rocky line figure & Reeve Superman figure with new heads and there much used pixel paint. Plus the abundance of Comic/Video Game Aliens/Predators that no one remembers but are easy to knock out. You can just see them now with the Ridley Scott in Alien Space Suit or Wes Cravens head on Freddy's body (I hope I'm not giving them ideas as I saw the origins of the video game line on Twitter when they stole the Jason video game idea from Will Edwards and totally ran with it with like another 100 figures).

Sometimes I forget.

You're probably dead-on about the Ridley Scott figure. Though that might end up looking a lot like Dallas...

...

Has it precious? Has it?

... there's the implication that it opens up new possibilities...and I can't think of anything else the Cameron figure would lead to.

One possibility, though I doubt it, would be the fact that having presumably made such direct contact with Cameron himself (for his likeness), this might open the door to further collaboration with him for his properties.. ?

But I doubt it highly, because licensing doesn't work that way/so simply.

Although, they seem to be working with Guillermo Del Toro in this way, for the licenses he owns.

Be cool if NECA got to do something with the Avatar sequels (if they're good that is, of course).
Or even for those rumored Tim Miller directed, Cameron produced Terminator films.

I could get my Jack and Rose figures at long last?!

Even then I'll still be - ''.....can't we just get a ****ing T2 John figure?''

 

[P.]

and a cinemachines Titanic with its steam pipes attached to boards.

 

[a-dev]

I have a sinking feeling you'd be right.

Time for Randy to go.

If I was his boss I would've fired him for that game changer comment.

He would tell you differently. He would tell you that you don't understand, and that it's just too niche and not a seller. He would tell you that you're in the minority.

He would then go on to approve more Valerian and Preacher figs, along with Alien and Predator series 35, but now with a real patch of fabric on every figure.
