NECA is prepping to unleash their first Terminator: Genisys figures to retail. While not a hit in North America, the film is pulling in some massive box office overseas. According to Box Office Mojo, the film currently has over $346 million overseas. That massive push may get the studio to invest in the planned sequel.
We’ve already seen the updated T-1000 in package. Now NECA has shared out a photo of the Guardian T-800 (1984 Version) in packaging. These two figures should be hitting shelves very soon and will then be followed by the Battle Damaged Guardian T-800 (2017 Version) in November.
Read on to check out the image.
Terminator Genisys Figures Coming from NECA
Don't know how I feel about this. Aside from the fact the Genisys is probably going to be lousy, I just feel like NECA is a rip off after one too many broken T-1000 limbs. Seriously, what kind of cheap plastic do they use?!
I hear that. I pretty much avoid ordering any NECA stuff in the winter as I've learned from past experience that it all snaps out of the packaging. Much better results closer to summer.
not big on the up coming film either but
i might, i might pick up a few T-800 ENDOS depending on the final sculpt and price point
not sure on the “grandpa T-800” tho
as far as NECA’s quality issues go i can only speak from my experince
yeah i would say years early on, there were some glaring issues but now
the current level is much better than years past in my opinion
lucky the stuff that i have gotten from NECA has held up very well for me
i have 46 total of those 16-bit T-800 ENDOS
16, 2 packs
14, heavy gunners
4 of my 32 assault ENDOS and
1 of my 14 gunner ENDOS
had the leg and upper body pistons snap but mainly due to my error then it being a quality issue
now granted not everybody can troop build and easily replace theirs
so its unfortunate that others have had their stuff break and i know the feeling
but as a whole with all the high detail, paint apps, current level of articulation and price point around $20
its been more hits then misses from NECA and their shit keeps on getting better
my opinion tho
Sneak Peek at NECA's Guardian T-800 From Terminator Genisys - The Toyark - News
That head sculpt looks nothing like Schwarzenegger. It's like they didn't even try.

After T3 and Salvation, it's hard to get excited about a new Terminator movie. However, I'm cautiously optimistic about Genisys, largely because of the cast, so I'm also somewhat excited that NECA is doing a line of Genisys figures.
If this movie does end up bombing, I hope that the franchise is finally allowed to retire with what's left of its dignity intact.
Frankly, if I want any new or supplemental Terminator material, I'll just read the Dark Horse comics, since they have recently proven that they can still manage to develop interesting Terminator stories.
That being said, maybe we'll get some comic-based Terminator figures along with the Genysis ones. NECA has begun doing Dark Horse Predator figures, so here's hoping the Terminator franchise gets the same treatment.
I still wonder if we'll ever see Dutch's brother in a movie someday.
It's clearly not just the cold with the amount of breakage you see people talking about.
I agree that you shouldn't have to do any hair dryer tricks to enjoy your figures out of the box, no matter the season. I give NECA a lot of leeway though because I still give them a lot of praise for cramming great articulation, paint, and molding into a fairly low priced figure.
That said, winter 2013 I had 4 of 4 alien figures break on me and I stopped ordering NECA until Spring/Summer. This winter, the recolored Batman movie figure snapped at both the hip and shoulder out of the package.
I do have a Freddy and 3 Predators coming at the moment. I'm definitely doing the dryer thing, as much as I hate to, but I hate running to the store for returns even more.
