I love both Terminator and Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy and I'm not exactly young (27). I think a better comparison would be just about every franchise vs. Marvel and Iron Man which a ton of people seem to cream their pants over.
Its not lost on me by the way that I've pretty much become what you and I used to exchange PMs complaining about - all this modding and customs business. And now I'm saying that the stock Terminator figures aren't good enough and need to be modded.Somewhere along the line little flaws became big flaws for me. I now speak from a standpoint of envy that ****in DC gets all the great customising & modding attention.
Don't feel bad. Collecting styles can change.
What I don't get is why people need to complain about other people's collecting styles...
Personally I believe the TDK problems are more major than Terminator problems.
I think people do care more about modding Batman/Joker than Terminator but what are the real major problems with the Terminator figures compared to the TDK? The TDK figure problems are major, Hot Toys ****ed up the TDK suit for several years so people had to mod the Medicom one with some Hot Toys parts. When they finally got a decent suit the cowl was still ****ed up because of PERS and face plates so people either Modded the PERS by sculpting eye lids, or put the Medicom head on the DX12 with Robbies face plate. Finally after god knows how many attempts they still can't sculpt Ledger, so people have to resort to Adam to get a head sculpt looks like Ledger and not a cartoon character.
Do you have a link to the thread about the Terminator neck, like how bad is it?
Well just look at this
Would that be accepted on a Batman-related figure? The size and lack of detail of that neck. The noticeable gaps in the jaw - his head isn't even tilted and those gaps are there. This is a high-end figure here. NECA would be criticised if theirs looked like that.
