Re: 【NECA T2 2nd wave in store pics】
I agree it isn't embarassed by the HT figures at all and just happens to be a perfect scale with them. And as an all-sculpted figure it may actually turn out better than HT inevitable effort in terms of proportions and the 'fit' of the clothes. The likeness may end up being better too - I think it outdoes the HT Dutch figure in its resemblance to Schwarzenegger. Obviously however I can't wait for the HT one and will definitely buy it.
Cool, I'll be looking forward to your pics. You have an eye for particular film moments and getting the lighting right. I wish I had proper dioramas for these figures, as it stands the only place I have that'd have been a better location to take photos than on top of my HT Tumbler shipping box is a mantlepiece! Also I don't have the greatest know-how about using a camera. I would have preferred in the case of my photo with the crawling BD T-800 that he be in focus rather than the T-1000 in the background but I wasn't sure how to do that. In any case I tried to replicate certain poses and certain camera angles that I know from the film and hope that people get the idea of how useful these figures are.
I was going to add film quotes to demonstrate what scenes I was thinking of but my staging of the photos isn't attractive enough in the least to really sell these moments. Still I hope you can envision the T-800 being lowered into the molten steel with Brad Fiedels theme playing, a guy in a helicopter saying ''He's got a goddamned Mini-gun!", and Sarah's monologue in the case of my Uncle Bob Terminator - "Seeing John with the machine it was suddenly all clear etc etc of all the would-be fathers that came and went over the years, this thing, this machine was the sanest choice"
Did you sculpt the McFarlane MMV endo head? I think that looks pretty good on the NECA body and its easy to hollow out its neck to fit the balljoint which is what I did. Its a pity about the new head but when I get my dioramas going properly again its not totally wasted, it'll just go to the back as my 'out of focus' endoskeleton such as there was in the film!
Your MM4 T-800 is still a great figure and has finally now lived up to its potential. I guess the proportions aren't quite as accurate as your new figure but now that we have the new figure I can live with that. The pose is great and the leg positioning being more action-orientated offered me something in creating my "T-800 to be beaten up by the T-1000!" figure from the moments between when he almost cuts the T-1000 in half to before he sustains his final face battle damage.
Seriously can't wait to see the new stuff!

I'll take a Soap figure from any manufacturer right now.
Not pleasant. The bleeding was heavy but seemed to slow down quickly so it can't be that bad. Its definitely the worst bit of battle damage I've sustained during all my amatuer customising though. I'm surprised its only happened for the first time now quite frankly. But the most annoying thing is I just want to get on with this job and I don't think I can risk it
