That Dog Alien... is amazing

Granted, I still like the McFarlane version too, but the two that I have are now definitely bumped down to "troop builder" status. The NECA one is definitely the new alpha dog of my pack of Dog Aliens.
Also, pretty cool on NECA's part to throw in a clear stand with that figure.

Oh yeah, when I got my first T-800 a couple months ago, I was very nervous, due to my past experiences with NECA. He definitely has to be handled delicately, but he's not nearly as fragile as I had imagined he would be, especially with all those tiny faux-hydraulic/pneumatic cylinders. As long as I can keep my friends from trying to pick them up and re-pose them, I think my endoskeletons are gonna hold up pretty well.

I'd really like to troop build that figure. With his "16-bit" aesthetic, he looks like a T-800 from the old Genesis game, but he can also easily pass as a "battle damaged" endoskeleton next to NECA's earlier Terminator stuff.
