No problemo. I like the behind the scenes stuff the most, like Cameron and Arnold, Robert Patrick watching a scene get shot. Major props to the guys at jamescamerononline for a lot of these.
Thanks for sharing all that with us Johnny

You do realize this is a $40 plastic action figure...right?
It's not gonna be perfect, hence the $40 price tag ... and in that price range, it's hands down the best Endo available.
Other Endo's:
1/4 Sideshow Statue: $1,000
1/6 Hot Toys Endo figure: $500
1/12 NECA: $15
I'm perfectly fine with the "missing details" and plastic look.
I hope my album will be the shot in the arm this thread needs, and will get Kyle to post here more. I love his Arnold work.
Based on threads here, it seems the larger Terminator collector base looks down on NECA products compared to Alien and Predator fans who are showing a strong love for all of. Granted, NECA's flaws show more with humans than creatures.
I'm happy to have NECA, Sideshow and HT doing Terminator stuff, I welcome products from any of their lines.
Thanks for that album Johnny, I saved a few photos I'd never seen before.
Yeah I've noticed that around here. There seems to be fewer regular posters in the NECA Terminator thread than in the NECA Predator thread. And far more people contending that NECAs Predator figures are 'better' than the Hot Toys Predator figures than there are people saying that NECAs Terminator figures are better than Hot Toys Terminator figures. In fact to me it seemed like if you were in the NECA thread saying that Hot Toys predator figures were better you were in the minority. Anyway thats just my observation. Personally I think both companies are putting out the very best figures from those licenses you could possibly get. What NECA lacks in its finish (and QC) it makes up for in its accuracy to the source material. What Hot Toys lacks in accuracy it makes up for in its finish and sheer impressiveness. Both companies ought to be important for a fan of these films.

To me, the neca terminator sculpts are years ahead of the hot toys sculpts. The hot toys arnold still seems odd to me, and the neca figure has sculpted clothes with all the correct wrinkle lines and such as opposed to the smooth leather jacket and pants of the hot toys. Granted the paint job on neca figures aren't good (some are very well done but other suck!) I only care about the sculpt, because if the paint really bothers me it's really an easy minute fix most of the time.

Thanks so much and some of these pics will help me get this sculpture to look better now. As a big terminator fan I'm very happy were doing this figure at long last. I've wanted this one even more than the T2 figures. I think Terminator fans are in for a real treat with these figures and it's way fun for me to be part of it.

Neca has done a great job. This Arnold is perfect!
Wow, I love the Hot Toys figure but those comparison photos clearly show the sunglasses being the wrong size and shape and the way that the face is a little too squashed. If only NECAs had the high-end finish of Hot Toys it'd be positively unbeatable.
Something has always thrown me off with that photo. Even when the film came out on VHS back in the early 90's. As if it's not Arnie, he looks so thin in that photo... sometimes I always get the impression it's not him.
I've heard that said before but I don't get it. Looks like him to me 
You're welcome Kyle. One of my happiest memories is Toyfair '09 when NECA announced all of Arnold's looks. Hope we get the same next year along with more T2 goodness.
I still remember my total surprise and joy on first seeing the pics of the 4 2ups. I wasn't aware of any prior announcement and I was just blown away. I wanted them immediatley.
The T1 figures won't come as a surprise now but the anticipation will be no less. And I also can't wait to see how they finish out the T2 line.
I asked Randy on Twitter about that. If he replies I'll post it here. He's off this week so it might take time. He has mentioned the Motorcycle Cop T-1000 so I'd take that as confirmed.
