Official NECA Terminator Thread

Looking pretty good and the head looks improved compared to the promotional pictures, at least from this angle.

Now some out of box pictures or a review or something would be nice.

Found more pics, from the same guy as the ones DiFabio found - he's actually a member, Markus Wright I think is his name here. He's the one who made that incredible 1:6 T2 Armory diorama.







I think it looks pretty good. The minigun looks solid, I'm so used to the 1:10 scale one being warped out of shape.

Looks pretty solid to me! Waiting for it to arrive in Australia and.then I'll grab it in a sale.

Was my previous post deleted? Weird.

It looks good in the recent pics, I'm going to make this into a T2-3D T-800. I need to track down a 1/4 plasma rifle.

From front on the head looks nice, the more you turn it though, it looks too squished from front to back making the face look too long.



Considering it's all based on 10 year old work, it is impressive.

Looking pretty sweet! I assume the handgun and sunglasses are still there, just not pictured. Wonder if NECA included any extra little bonus surprises with this one; they have done that before with some of their Q scale figures.

Looks good for what it is, a blown up jumbo version of the 7" figure.

That looks very good.

Why did Arnold need a stuntman out in the desert?

Thank you.

for some shots of the chip extraction scene maybe, where there was actually no mirror?

Thanks for the pics revo.

Not a perfect sculpt for the scale but honestly the Enterbay clean headsculpt will still annoy me way more than this old NECA head will.

 

[DiFabio]

I agree. I'll take the slight caricature of the "out dated" NECA over the puffed out rounded hair/head on the Enterbay. This one has better torso and shoulder proportions too.

If NECA blew up their Steel Mill/Final Battle though, it wouldn't touch what Enterbay did. That Steel Mill Entberbay is still my favorite Terminator figure ever made.

 

[MaulFan]

If money were not an issue, I’d absolutely go for NECA 1/4 for the mini gun scene representation, but I have a tight budget and when you have Enterbay, you don’t feel the need for any other T2 1/4 scale.

 

[snoop101]

I know I'm in the minority here but as much as I love Enterbays head sculpt, the rest of the figure just cheapens the overall presence. Bad weathering and holes on the jacket, The horribly painted blood on the exposed endo parts, inaccurate battle damaged arm, and the torn "shark teeth" skin above the knee brings the figure down for me.

Beautiful shot Maulfan

It pains me to this day that Scuderia wasn't given a chance to do a new clean head and a semi-BD head

I don't disagree with your criticisms. The knee battle-damage in particular is shockingly amateur.

Sure the Enterbay has some questionable battle damage aesthetics and design choices but everyone that walks into my collection room always goes to him first and says either wow or cool.

Yeah I'm sure he looks awesome next to all your NECA and SW Black Series figures, lol.
