McFarlane and NECA Terminator Quick Pics

I’m a huge fan of the Terminator movie franchise – well, to be more accurate, I’m a huge fan of the first two movies in the franchise – and the action figures from McFarlane and NECA are great representations of the characters. But I’m out of space in the toy room, so I snapped some quick pictures of these figures before I list them for auction.

I didn’t start picking these up until NECA got the license. The T-850 with coffin and the T-X were part of my father-in-law’s collection – he was very fond of women who kick ass, and Kristanna Loken’s Terminatrix fit the bill. I ended up picking up a McFarlane endoskeleton on eBay before NECA made their own. I’d probably have a lot more of the NECA figures but had trouble finding them at retail.

Toy Fair 2011 – NECA Duke Nukem, Terminator, Gears of War, BioShock

I’m getting settled back in after a whirlwind trip to NYC for Toy Fair, so I’ll be posting the remaining pics over the next few days. Up next is NECA – I will probably never forgive them for deep-sixing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles wave 2 figures, but I’ll admit that it’s hard to keep the blood boiling when they continue to put out awesome figures for the lines that have continued to thrive. A new addition this year is a Duke Nukem figure to accompany Duke Nukem Forever. I could make a joke about what the Forever stands for in the game name, but I won’t. I was also really impressed by the new Terminator figures, although I have a tough time finding those in my local TRUs.

They also had some more Gears of War, BioShock, and Claptrap from Borderlands on display. VeeBee was disappointed I missed the Gremlins stuff – I’m not sure how I could overlook those.

Hot Toys Announces Terminator T-800

Hot Toys Terminator T-800 08.jpg

Hot Toys teased us with a pic of Ahhnold’s T-800 from The Terminator working on his busted arm, and now we’ve got the pictures from their product announcement. I’m very pleased that they included a battle-damaged version of his head from that movie, but I really think he should come with a pair of sunglasses as an accessory.
