NECA Previews Two Ultimate Figures From The Terminator

[OGTrilogy]

Argh! :'( I told myself I was finished with these after the Ultimate T -800, Sarah Connor and T-1000 from Terminator 2.

Are we ever going to see an Ultimate Kyle Reese or Ultimate John Connor figure? I'll probably pick those up too if Neca makes them.

They said no to both John Connor and Kyle Reese.

really wish they revised the sunglasses from the original release figures...at the very least cast them in a translucent plastic or make them a hair thinner.
thats the one bit i always found to be clunky aesthetically but other than that, had these guys since they were first released and love the **** out of them. hope they'll include all head variants as alternates.

[scarrviper]

Very exciting to see both versions are receiving the ultimate treatment. I missed out on the original releases of neca's terminator line so the ultimate series is a dream come true. I can't wait to see what accessories they choose to include.

That's a bummer, but it saves me money.

Reese really needs an ultimate version. His regular release is one of the weakest. Maybe next year if these keep selling well.psyched i never bought tech noir at inflated prices, and got the assualt version for $10. Love you neca

I am surprised anyone actually wants a John Connor toy. To me he was easily the weakest thing in all of T2 which is otherwise an amazing action movie and I sincerely doubt a toy would sell. Demand for an ultimate Kyle makes more sense but even with him I have to question if it would actually sell well.

Apparently we won't be getting Reese, though NECA could possibly be hiding something up their sleeves. Maybe he never sold that well to begin with? The terminator itself is obviously far more iconic than either of the first film's heroes, it wasn't until the second film that Sarah was defined as a badass character.

An action figure with Edward furlong's likeness would sell like hotcakes! I'd buy a whole case of them (on clearance).

Or you know you could just burn all your money in a tire fire. It'd be the same value.

[darthschroeder]

I'd totally buy a T2 John Conner! I've never felt he was a weak part of the film like other people do. Pack him with his wee dirtbike like the vintage figure and give him a boombox accessory and maybe a weeping, tear streaked alt head and I'd be all set No seriously, I'd buy one. I'd get all the Ultimate versions NECA makes the first two Terminator movies. If they made punk rock Bill Paxton and Bobby Budnick toys, I'd snatch them up!
I wonder why they said no to an Ultimate Kyle Reese? Seems like all that they'd really have to do is retool the legs from the last version they made, but it seems like retooling a mold is really expensive to do.

[suchaname]

The problem with John is he would need to be much smaller than the other characters for one thing, plus he doesn't have anything close to the iconic look of the others.

Reese... Hobo with a shotgun might be a tough sell too. I'd be much more likely to buy Future War him, which I guess would be a lot like his Aliens figure in a lot of respects.

[deecee4]

Wish neca would do an ultimate version of the T-800 from the iconic movie poster....bare chested with the leather jacket and sunglasses. They already have an Arnold muscular torso sculpt so it's not like it's too far fetched..good idea for a custom anyway.

hey guys!

Can someone ask Neca on Twitter, if they will do an Ultimate Version
of the Tanker Truck Pursuit Version?

They already said not to Kyle Reese and John Connor, that is what i know, so i save Money here.

I own the T2 Ultimate T-800 already, and would like to buy some
Ultimate T1 T-800 Figures.

But most Fear here is, that i buy Ultimate Police Station or Tech Noir,
(One Version with Damaged Face / Eye would be enough for me)

And then Neca says:
Suprise: Better Version, Ultimate Tanker Truck.

So it would be really Nice, if someone could get such an Information from Neca.

[Dolemite]

Oh yeah!

[snake5289]

Sweetness. That's the T-800 I want to own.

[En Sabah Nerd]

I'm glad they're doing the Tech-Noir look first but this was how he looked in the cool big action scenes so this is the one I'm waiting for. The T2 ultimate is freaking great except for some soft-ish weapons but that's good Uncle Bob T-800, I need an evil killer T-800 and the police shoot out is about as terminator as it gets.

Agreed. Terminator 1 is the best Terminator. So bad ass.

[snake5289]

Seconded. As enjoyable as T2 is the first one is my favorite.

To me the second is more "awesome" in its action and rocks some seriously stunning and impressive visual effects for its time but dammit I just can't call it better than the first because of John Connor. Yeah he's the future savior of mankind but at this point he's kind of a whiny kid. I get that he'd be that way what with the absentee/doomsday-prepper mother and moving from home to home but I don't watch the first movie and go "yeah this robot killer dude is pretty cool but what he really needs to do is get himself a whiny kid sidekick with a haircut that screams early '90s."

[snake5289]

Exactly and all the lame one-liners they threw in just annoy the piss out of me.

[Dolemite]

I just love the Terminator being a bad guy.

yeah, they reduced him to cheesy one-liners and strutting around to 'bad to the bone'...ugh.
t2's attempt at humor was a little too broad for my tastes, i thought what humor there was in first one was perfect.

[snake5289]

My point exactly.

This too. He was way better as the unstoppable killing machine from T1.
