NECA Teases New Terminator 2 T-800 Figure

Thank goodness. I was just about to mod my figure to give it non-gloved hands.

Last thing I can ask for is the bike. Then it'll be super perfect.

So, it's the same exact figure they released already, but with a black T-shirt instead of a blue one.

I'm going to give it a pass, but I do know some people who were peeved by the previous Ultimate T2 figure because it didn't have a black T-shirt. So, I guess they'll be happy about this!

Hey, I didn't notice the non-gloved hands! Or, at least, I forgotten the first Ultimate T-800 had gloved hands...

Depending on the accessories, maybe I WILL break down and buy one of these. We'll see.

If the guns bend I'm not interested!

The shirt on the ultimate figure was grey not blue. At some point in the movie he changes shirts, I know it was the lighter grey shirt by the time he showed off his endoskeleton arm to Dyson.

The shotgun that came with the ultimate T2 figure was very sturdy, not at all soft plastic, so I'd hope this is just the exact same accessory since it should be.

More like a blue-grey, but whatever.


Yup, the T2 shotgun was perfectly fine. It was the minigun that was messed up.

Someone's coloooor bliiiiiiiiind.

jk

I wonder what's going on here. We've already gotten an "ultimate" T2 Arnold. I wonder if it'll be a 2 pack with John Connor or maybe a set that comes with a sweet Harley he can ride. Either way, I'm having trouble seeing this as a plain single release after we just got the (almost) exact same figure not too long ago.

@Dolemite: The grenade launcher was also soft unfortunately.

Not possible unfortunately. NECA doesn't have any kind of deal with Harley Davidson so they can't make the bike. Plus it would cost too much to forge a deal with HD just to make a single bike for a single figure and likely never use that bike again thereafter.

Maybe this is what the T-800 arm in the tube is for, even though it would have made more sense to include it with the last one instead of the shotgun.

I mean, they could just make it a "generic" bike that looks extremely similar but has no HD labels or tags. I seem to remember Randy said something about the fact that they could make completely screen accurate guns so long as it doesn't have the Remington (or whatever company) name or logo on the weapon itself.

You take that back, meanie! It IS blue-grey! Or grey-blue! Or...some combination of blue and grey!

Indeed it was...it was really bad, in fact, on par with Tech Noir's shotgun.

Also, to a lesser extent, the T2 pistol. The body of the pistol was decent, but the trigger guard was pretty damn rubbery...whenever I put it in Arnold's hand, I had to work it around his trigger-finger.

Makes sense...also, haven't they already out the kibosh on a John Connor figure?

Hmm...that would be a decent accessory, and something to make this release stand out a wee bit more from the last one.

So is this going to be an exclusive SDCC release or a normal release?

I believe it will see standard release later this year as a part of the T2 3D re-release promotion. I wouldn't be surprised if what's shown is basically the final and all-inclusive version, it'd be cool if we actually got that rose box for him to hide his gun.

Wait, they're re-releasing T2 3D?? Are they doing it at standard theaters as opposed to Universal Studios locations? Info, please!!

BTW, if they're tying this figure into T2 3D, it'll probably come with a plasma rifle along with the shotgun. But a rose box would be neat as well.

*EDIT* Pffft. You meant that they're re-releasing Terminator 2 converted into 3D, NOT T2 3D: Battle Across Time. Got me excited over nothing.

I believe the North American release of T2 in 3D was cancelled. From what I remember, only China will be getting it.

Well shit I didn't mean to get your hopes for the wrong thing so sorry about that but yeah it would just be T2 converted into that weird pop-up book 3D like how they re-released The Lion King, The Phantom Menace, or Jurassic Park in 3D. Those movies being redone in 3D never sat right with me and from what I heard the final result was more pop-up book than 3D film thanks to them having to retroactively convert what was never meant to be 3D into a weird semi-anaglyphic deal compared to how stereoscopic has made 3D so much more immersive.
Huh. I never heard anything more about it since I heard it was happening so maybe it's just a Chinese thing now. Still this is the film's 25th anniversary so getting some figures to commemorate that is a fine reason enough to get these out.

As of right now, only Chinese cinemas have it scheduled for release in October (was a big press release storm in May). They're doing a massive push there for T2. I don't think we'll see anything in the U.S. for it outside of whatever NECA releases.

We might still get it on bluray 3D like they did with Predator a couple of years ago. I don't really care though, I already Terminator 2 so I only care about the toys at this point.

Another figure I'd like them to do is a chrome color repaint of the ultimate T-1000, I'd probably buy that.

No worries dude, I wasn't upset.

Besides, have you ever had the pleasure of experiencing T2:3D at a Universal Studios theme park? They combine live-action look-alike actors and proms/animatronics with the 3D film elements and it's pretty awesome. It would be pretty much impossible to replicate that in your local neighborhood multiplex, however.

The new T-800 looks great. Is that a new head sculpt? Also, can the figure stand up straight?

For a line this successful it boggles my mind neca did not update the Ultimate figures with a ball jointed waist or another extra poa and even interchangeable hands for the T800.

Really wish the holes weren't in the jacket, it just strikes me as lazy when it's being sold as an Ultimate (I know that costs, but this figure isn't new by any means!).

I'd also have liked another hand for carrying the box properly, but fuck it, now I'm gonna have to consider the T-1000 again!

Where does it say this figure is an Ultimate? I read only a Special Edition...

This figure isn't being sold as an ultimate, it's a regular release like the Genisys figures were.
