Official NECA Terminator Thread

[Tech-Com DN38416]

Did a few paint fix ups/battle damage to the Carl.

I found Carl's eyes and eyebrows to be a bit wonky, and I love my Terminators damaged. I loved the figure out of the box but it needed some extra oomph. Also greyed out the jacket a little bit (so it's not so aggressively chocolate brown) and darkened the boots and weathered the pants and weapons. I made the glasses removable and just made the glasses head the default undamaged head (had to sculpt the hair back in a bit, and repaint the face).

I've since added a bit more grey to his beard and hair and it looks a lot better, along with some added blood damage, but I'll post more updated pics with my modified Sarah when I get around to it.

Dude that battle damage is awesome, that should have been one of the official interchangeable heads!

Could only upload these horizontal shots as when I upload my vertical shots they appear sideways on here. So annoying! Much better pics I took horizontally.

NECA has the Ultimate T-1000 up for preorder again for a 4th quarter 2020 release:

BBTS still had the original release of that in stock not long ago. I got 2 of them.

I'd rather see an Ultimate Steel Mill T-1000.

I hope they release T2 Sarah again

1/12th though. Pretty sure a 1/12 BD Uncle Bob doesn't even exist yet. Great Twins seemed to have dropped away after that blatant Hot Toys DX10 copy they put out.

1/12? Literally any other scale would've been better.

1/10, 1/6, 1/4....

Most 1/2 dios work fine with NECA though, real problem is the price, I get why, but that's a lot to spend.

$300 seems ridiculous, if it were a custom piece I could see that, but I don't see many 1/12 collectors dropping $300 on that.

The scene has enough importance and value to me to maybe pay that. I am contemplating a preorder - shipping seems tolerable by international shipping standards - although I'd get hit by customs aswell so overall it would be pricey for sure.

I know. I did see this same diorama done in 1/6th and offered on ebay, think I linked it in the DX13 thread but I didn't trust preordering something so expensive on ebay from a seller I'd never bought from before.

As for 1/12, it's definitely on the rise but this diorama is clearly T2-inspired and yet, to my knowledge, there hasn't been any T2 figures in this scale outside of the solitary Great Twins clean T-800 and that figure sucks.

I'd easily prefer this in 1/10 but maybe Maulfan is right and you could get away with using NECA figures on this.

Just want to share my newest 1/4 Neca Endoskeleton repaint.

That's sick! Love the finish - looks like real metal.

Thanks man. Amazing what a paint job can do for a decent sculpt eh [emoji41]

that's definitely a great paint job, lots of expensive skeletons really lack it, but i'd easily say Neca endoskeleton is one of the worst endoskeleton sculpts ever.

Yeah, not a fan of that sculpt at all but you've elevated it with the new paintjob, immediately makes it look more high-end.



In other news, we don't get much news on Terminator anymore but someone asked if there'd more Kenner tributes and the reply was maybe in 2021. I'd ask questions about more movie-based figures but I don't think I'm established enough on twitter for him to notice me.

Are they making Mackenzie Davis' Grace character from Dark Fate? It might be a good headsculpt source for a custom Mariette.
