Official NECA Terminator Thread

[Buttmunch]

I'd still love to get a split-down-side T-1000. Its the last possible version that no company has touched.

That is true, but taking into account NECA's love for reusing parts on different figures, they'd need a whole new torso at the least and who knows if that is too much to ask of them.

Yeah, the only thing that bothers me is that arm. AS for the glitch effect on the boot, I quite like it. Most of the Steel Mill shots of T-1000 in the film are close ups and upper torso shots anyway, who's to say he wasn't glitching during those parts?

It would be fine if he had the right floor glitching into his boot. As Sean and the others have stated, that glitched foot is from a different area of the steel mill than where the donut head shot took place.

I don't know, I'm an accuracy nut, but steel floor effect vs. grating effect doesn't make much difference to me. Especially considering every T-1000 to date has the liquid metal effect on it's feet.

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread

Well that's the price with NECA's recycling, sometimes you can find poses that work for multiple figures, they really got lucky with the T2 T-800s, but sometimes they'll work better for some but not all.

I pretty much look to NECA for variety more than overall awesomeness. You can't really top HT's figures for quality, but, with NECA, you get many more variations and representations and it's much more affordable to have them all.

Yeah and its the same reason I bought up all the Jakks "Rocky" 7"ers. I will get these no doubt but like the T2 figures I won't open them. I love them in packaging and like you said the variety too. I like what I see but just wanted to note that even the sculpt is recycled.

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread

The T1 and t1000 look decent, but the paint apps on final production will make or break these

Ok, Dumb question: Is Neca pronounced N E C A or Nekka?

Thought I'd post some pics for you guys:

Randy just confirmed that the T2:20 logo is studio created for all T2 product this year. HT's BD T-800 is probably being saved for this reason.

 

[Voorhees27]

HT's BD T-800 is probably being saved for this reason.

I think this is the case too.

 

[DiFabio]

Yeah, I just got this feeling about a week ago that a Hot Toys Battle Damaged T2 T-800 will makes it debut this year. Since that is indeed a studio logo, this is more than likely already in the works.

I bet we're just a few months away from official teasers, spec and pics. Then not long after we get the Police Shoot Out T-800 from NECA, we'll have pics of the Hot Toys Police Shoot Out too.

Then Arnold Terminator will be pretty much complete in action figures and merchandise.

Not wowed by any of these, but I will be getting one or two. That's the great thing about these lower end figures. Even if I'm not completely statisfied with them it, price-wise it doesn't really hurt. The eyes on T-800 give me a Christopher Walkens vibe.

I think we're either a month away, or several. Way I see it, with only one figure really remaining, if you're holding off for the 20th, the best way to honor that is with shipping or preordering around the July anniversary. To ship by then, we'll have to see something real soon, or, it'll be awhile until July to see something. They could always not care about July in any way, but, like I said, with only 1 figure really left, why not target the specific anniversary since they'v had time to plan to do so.

I just hope it's not a DX with a new MSRP (Indiana Jones, I'm looking at you).

They could easily throw in two heads and tons of accessories like they did with the T-1000. I'm really hoping Police Assault T1 and Battle Damaged T2 are just regular MMS figures with multiple heads and the final appropriate accessories.

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread

These are my exact thoughts .............. minus the Christopher Walkens comment.

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread

I hope neca make Reese and an new Endoskeleton.

I also hope neca make a 18" Version with a better, revisted facesculpt.
This is not the best Schwarzenegger Likeness.

Eh, what for? Their last attempt looked like something Kenner made in the early 90's.

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread

These look awesome! The police shootout is definitely my favorite.

Re: Official NECA The Terminator Thread

It takes a T1 endoskeleton.

The 2005 Cult Classic Endoskeleton was very good.
The 2009 Endoskeleton had an ugly skull.

But much is not missing a good Endoskeleton.

Neca simply have to sculpt the 18 " Endoskeleton take and improve it minimal.
More details to add.

Repainted 18 "Endos are great.
