They gotta be the first company to get the skull correct.

Oh, there's still people bitching about it. At this point, I'm convinced they could offer an actual screen-used model and the supposed know-it-alls would bitch about it not being accurate.
I'm sure that cocksucker P hates it.
He's one of them. I'd hate to be that level of fan that can't just appreciate the fact that anyone is making collectibles from these films. You know they aren't happy with the constant onslaught of Marvel and Star Wars products so quit pissing off companies by telling them their product is shit because one eye is 2mm higher than it should be.
I'm pretty anal when it comes to certain franchises, but you have to be reasonable and give shit wiggle room. Like with Prime's first Guts, I didn't like the sculpts at all. I quite like their second attempt.
What drives me nuts is when a collectible isn't exactly how someone wants it so the entire franchise must be shit as a result. Game of Thrones Season 8 is the latest example.
I don't understand how people make that correlation. There's plenty of shows I liked that had a lot of bad seasons, but I'd still recommend people to watch them all the way through.
Not the Walking Dead, though. Not that show.

Fuck The Walking Dead. You can't have a good season, a decent one here and there, and the rest be shit and still be called a good show.

Fucking idiotic. Guess that’s that. Was contemplating getting him, but now I’ll just wait and see if someone sells him loose on eBay, without the bike.
Neca needs to stop doing “new” figures as SDCC exclusives and adopt Tamashii’s mo. Honestly, we are all fucking sick of their shit at this point. I’m at my wits end with collecting their Turtle stuff and now I likely won’t be able to complete my Terminator collection.
Just stop.

Two things.
To say it looks like shit is an understatement. And, why in God's name would they make such a relevant figure a fucking exclusive?

Because Neca is run by a bunch of retards. They refuse to accept the fact that their exclusives are some of the most scalped collectibles in all of toy history. Not just by double the cost they’re offering to collectors either, but like 300 and 400% markups.

The reason s basically what they've been saying for the past few years now: you can't put a 10-year-old boy as a figure on shelves at retail because it's not going to 'sell'. Now keep in mind that they've just released a young Ofelia from Pan's Labyrinth (amazing line btw) on shelves and also another young child from The Devil's Backbone as part of their Guillermo del Toro line. But JC with his dirt bike as a large accessory isn't going to sell? 
Their biggest blunder, however, was advertising him on the fucking back of the packaging for the recent Kenner Terminator releases, giving people a false sense that he was going to be coming to retail. Newt from Aliens was a SDCC exclusive, sold good numbers and they had to put her in a two-pack for retail afterwards with their new cocaine jaw Ripley head sculpt. So he might be released in a two-pack with Arnie later on but that means we won't get the bike.
It also looks like they scrubbed the GnR letters off the back of the bike since he was last shown. Probably couldn't get permission from whomever (Guns n Roses I presume?).

They did the same thing with Newt a couple years ago. Fucking idiots.

Yeah, can’t say I’m a fan of Neca at all, when it comes to how they handle exclusives. They’re the worst in the business, in my honest opinion.
I love collecting their stuff, but my god they really take the piss out of it.

This is the second videgame cameo the Terminator has made recently. Admittedly, that Endo Lancer gun is pretty cool.
I haven't played a Gears game since probably the second one. I wish they'd make an actual Terminator game instead of throwing endoskeletons in games I'm not interested in.
There hasn't been a Terminator game since T4 came out...
I'd like a sandbox game, either in the future or past and you're a bad T-800. Enough of the Uncle Bob shit.
