T2 John or GTFO at this point. No excuses anymore.

Pretty much.

Although I'd buy their own version of Pretzel man T1000. McFarlane one is alright but..

Doubt that'll ever happen though, too unique a sculpt.

 

[a-dev]

Yeah I made it sound like I wouldn't buy anything else and that's not true. There's a number of things I would buy. But I think we've exhausted the rehashing except as companion figures to a brand new T2 John Connor - like that rosebox T-800 could easily have been.

If it's just going to be another round of T-800 - now with mid-torso joint from the 1:4 scale figure - then what's the bloody point.

If it's just going to be the T6 license, also hard to care.

Hard to get excited with NECA Terminator anymore. They won't do T2 John. I'm almost positive this will be for T6. We'll see some Protoypes before the end of next year.

I don't understand why Randy is so much against T3 or T4. There's so much potential in there. I have the old Mcfarlane figs and they still look very nice.

maybe because he has brains?

 

[FriendlyPiranha]

With such mentality, no wonder we get what we get. Perhaps in your opinion he won't touch the P1 crew for the same reason. Or probably he's got brains when he decided to make all the figures from the infamous Genisys.

hmmm. a good argument.
well, maybe he was drunk when he decided that.

Agreed. The figures we want aren't happening. No T2 John, no T1 Kyle Reese, no T1 Sarah, etc...

 

[snoop101]

Well they did T1 Reese, but sadly we'll never see the other characters fans want.

 

[Captain Clown]

An ultimate Reese with the future war gear would be really cool.

 

[a-dev]

If they intend to release any more classic Terminator figures at all then T2 John should be a given as far as I'm concerned. They have his likeness rights already and considering the other random crap they pay to make...

I wasn't planning on getting this guy, but he was hard to resist with the Go Toys & Games 50% off everything sale.

Does anyone know if the ab crunch can move up and down? I've tried but it won't budge I'm afraid of snapping something.

It seems to move up and down a little but you can't get too much movement out of it. Heat is also definitely needed; mine would hardly move out of the box.

 

[a-dev]

As I recall both of mine were a bit wonky out of the box - I went as far as taking the arms and jacket off to straighten everything out and get it moving properly. I also had problems with the rotating leg joints that needed fixing - things not sitting flush, sculpted pants not lining up.

Otherwise I like the figure.

Gotcha. I'll see if some hot water will loosen things up. Thanks!

Yeah, he was pretty stiff out of the box. I'll never understand why they keep giving him that awkward left leg articulation.

Still a better sculpt than the lousy DX10, congrats CC!
