Re: NECA Terminator 2 figures

FINALLY found these at my local TRU. The Pescadaro figures likeness is really amazing in person esecially for a figure of this size. Here's 2 pics. T second ones is just for fun (Escaping Pecadaro just got a little harder...)

Re: NECA T2 in store pics

Pictures make them look bad if you get too close lol, but these things are some of the best T2 stuff I own, NECA did a great job, particularly the sculpt work on them is fantastic, true to character, really captures Arnie's face and build, something that plauged a lot of McFarlane stuff in the past, the detail was great but the overall wasn't always spot on for the character.

I'm going to be really happy to have the 12" Pescadero.

Re: NECA T2 in store pics

Awesome pics Sean. I really like the side view of the Pescadero Arnie, the likeness overall is well done imo. I never picked up any others ........... I think this is the only one I want.

I too can't wait to see how the 12" turns out ........ does anyone know when that one is due out in stores?

Re: NECA T2 in store pics

Toys R Us preorder date says 7/15. I'm going to order this one through them as well, but you can't go by their dates as cast in stone, they had the 7 inch figures as Preorders to ship 7/14 and mine shipped last week to my surprise, I mean I knew other stores had these so I wasn't totally surprised, but I figured if TRU says 7/14 it'll be 7/14, though they now list the 7" figures as In Stock.

Are they releasing the 12"er along with the next series or as a stand alone release?

I think it'll be released on its own but don't hold me to that. Excellent new pics there, really looking forward to these next week. But I have to do something about MoM's endo arm - nowhere near as good as on the prototype. I'm going to try and completely rework it using McFarlane endo parts. I once created much more detailed and accurate endo forearms on one McFarlane endo, including completely seperated fingers, with all the etra 'inbetween' plastic cut out and more realistic looking pistons. I think I could do it here on the NECA MoM.

Re: NECA Terminator 2 figures

Good news a-dev!

I've just placed my order for pescadero and man or machine figures!

*HIGH FIVE!*

Thanks. I hope yours arrive quick..and with good paintjobs & QC. Oh the potential pitfalls of ordering online. Anyway its being a jolly good year for Terminator and Predator action figure memorabilia.

Re: NECA T2 in store pics

Cracking pics maulfan.

Could you possibly take similar photos, but swap the Pescadero head with the man or machine version? I'm eager to see more photos of the man or machine head on the pescadero body

Tell you what though, i'm glad the Pescadero is the only figure of the range which is getting ssunglasses on the sculpt. They look a bit naff.

I'm just hoping the red paint might scratch or rub off, exposing more of the silvery, chrome endo arm underneath.

What are you doing up at this hour man?!! *goes to own profile - edits out 'location' detail*

Their approach to the sunglasses was poor it has to be said. But without them any bad paintwork of the eyes is there for all to see. I remember the McFarlane T3 figures had a similar situation where the figures with sunglasses looked like Arnie but the variants without the sunglasses (none of which I ever found) looked more like john travolta once you saw the eyes - I think that was more due to them being painted 'wrong' rather than being painted 'sloppily'.

Re: NECA T2 in store pics



My niece woke me up, mate! Left the computer on so thought, may as well have a look on the boards!

Got my shipping notice from play.com today, so i'm expecting them to be here for monday as it's 3 day minimum. Something to look forward to next week I guess.

Re: NECA T2 in store pics



I had no such excuse, I was just doing what I do - relishing the night hours when everyone else is asleep and all my time is my own, wilfully ignoring the approaching daylight. But anyway..

Yeah I have no expectation of getting my figs before this week is out. I keep forgetting what kind of delivery time to expect from BBTS but something tells me I won't have my figures till thursday next.

Re: NECA T2 in store pics

Cracking pic!

Tell you what figure i'm most impressed with though, the final battle damaged version.

Love the way he looks to be laid back, it captures that scene prefectly. Kind of just after the T-100 dies. His body shape looks perfect, really the right shape. In other words, he really looks like he "Needs a vaychation"



Also the spare head is a nice touch from Neca, as we can crate practically any scene then. Plus I prefer that damaged look to the full on damage as seen in the pic above.

These are immense figures, i'm tired of looking at the pictures though! Just want them all in hand! Hope we're not waiting a long time for the 2nd wave.

Re: NECA T2 in store pics

the 12inch version is released !
I saw it on a online store.

it marks "brand new and never opened"
but no pics yet ……damn!

Re: NECA T2 in store pics

has anyone got the new 18 inch endo yet ? if so does it's face look better then the 7 inch one ? any pictures?

 

[a-dev]

Re: NECA T2 in store pics

As far as I was aware the 'new' 18inch endo is the same as the old 18inch endo but with an improved paintjob. I could be wrong. If its still the same sculpt then yes the face is better than the new 7".
