Aoshima put less sculpted detail into the head, granted it is die-cast so there's less that can be done. The tubes on the shoulders also stick out too much, I don't know if they could be pushed in but that would help. Being die-cast it ought to be more durable than the NECA version, theirs is fairly flimsy. The only other actual advantage Aoshima has in this comparison is that their T-800 is newer and easier to get than the NECA movie T-800, NECA's older stuff can be stupidly priced by sellers. The current Terminator toys from NECA are based on the Robocop vs Terminator video game, so if you aren't into the 16-bit paint scheme and just want a movie version then the Aoshima one seems to be a solid choice. I will say I really dig the 16-bit heavy gunner endoskeleton from NECA, but like I said it's not for everyone.

Are the Aoshima 7" figures die cast? I saw a lot of them online but not in person. I have the 12" die-cast aoshima and it is pretty awesome. they failed a bit by making a die cast figure with plastic joints so you have to be careful. Many of the side by side comparisons I have seen online show that the aoshima is really close to the hot toys T-800, and a lot cheaper.
If the 7" is die-cast I am totally getting it.
