Re: NECA T-1000
I think there comes a point where there's such thing as too casual. I'm basing my guesses off the types of teens I see buying this sort of stuff and that the shops selling NECA seem to cater too, and in those cases, it seems like the more bizarre a figure, the more appealing.
As far as the cloaked Predators, I was the same, I didn't really dig it either, but I just felt it was a poor execution and idea. You can't mimic the invisiability effect from the movie in a 3D figure, the end result looks more like a ghost from Star Wars. The chrome T-1000, if it came out of production like the proto, would perfectly render the look from the movie.
Just have to wait and see, I'm really not expecting any T-1000s in 12" form from NECA, they're not even going all out with the 7" like the T-800.
