Kyle Reese - NECA

[The Rider]

That I can not imagine.


Terminator is a Money Maker and Neca have so many Options to do.


T1 End Battle Kyle Reese

T1 2029 Kyle Reese

T1 Eye Surgery T-800

T1 Battle Damaged Ensoskeleton with missing lower Body

T2 Sarah Conner

T2 Explodes T-1000

T2 real nitrogen T-1000(with broken Arms amd legs)

T2 liqid Metal T-1000(like the Bonus Accesory from the Hot Toys Dx T-800 Battle Damaged)

T2 old John Conner

And a revisted, full acurate, chrome looking 18" Endoskeleton.

18" T-800 from T1 and the T2 with the new transculent plastic and revisted Schwarzenegger Likeness(Haires, nosetip, chin, smallerlower jaw).

They can also make Busts like the cool looking Neca Busts in the Past.

Future war Kyle Reese.

Saw this in person and just didn't think it was a good representation of the actor; looks too much like generic white dude

Its not the sculpt, its the paint. One side has the likeness, the other side of the face does not.

These are the last Terminator figures from NECA.

Until they make fully articulated figures in a couple years.

For $15 you can't beat it though, especially if youre a Terminator fan.

And especially since, who else makes an 84 Reese figure that matches a Terminator figure of the same quality. NECA may not be great, but you can at least have a thorough depiction of the hero and villain of T1 that all looks the same and fits together.

retracted custom....

Not an awesome likeness, but a better likeness iI think.

The problem is, we see not a professionell painted 1/6 prototyp from this.

Your repaint are very very nice.
What yo make in detail (working steps)?

LOL, see as a Terminator fan, I refused to buy it. We do deserve better, $15-22 price point nonwithstanding

I want HT or Bust for Kyle Reese

I use games workshop (or Citadel as its known) paints on my figures. For Kyle, I found the primary problem was his eyes. By filling in the pupils with a little more black, you can make them much more like Michael Biehn's. The next step was to use some black wash to bring out the stubble on the face. I also redid the eyebrows with some lighter combinations of paint with black to extend them downwards and closer to the eye balls. I also washed the entire coat and shirt in black. I wash in a little more blonde into kyle's hair as well. Finally I made the teeth a little more white so they would stand out more just like Biehn's do.

I sealed it all with testor's clearcoat flat. Just be careful and not use too much of it. If you brush on too much of it too hard you can sometimes mess up the wash, so it's imperative you gently dab it on there until it dries, then you can be a little more aggressive when your washing work is secured by that first clear coat you applied gently.

Well, they will get another chance with their Aliens: marines line - no one is talking about that yet...?

Your repaint looks like a zombie version of Kyle to me.

lol, well you can't make everyone happy I guess.

@Gun-Haver, thank you very much for your Answer.
Are you repainted the Predators or T-800 ?

@Matt S, it hard to say, the first Pictures are to small.

Hey I like it. I think much improved. But unfortunately I think I have to pass on this figure myself as its stock form is not really my cup of tea and I will not be putting in the work to make it passable.

Now for the hicks figure...yeah, NECA could probably do us dirty anyway they want and I'd still smile and buy it.

Long-time lurker, finally set up an account. Howdy there.

Been waiting for ages for this wave to hit my local store. Picked up the best looking Reese they had. So glad to add him to the shelf. He's not perfect, but not as far off as some have stated. Neca's paint quality is still an issue though. They were all different, and I still might tweak the one I settled for.

It looks like the line is probably over (unless someone has heard something I haven't?) with no more obvious Arnie's to make. Hope it's not the case. I'd love to see a Future Reese and Connor, and wouldn't mind Neca moving on to T3 either.

I have indeed repainted the Toysrus two pack Predator since many of those samples were poorly painted especially in the eyes, I'll be sure to upload some pics sometime. As for the t-800 I've actually always been satisfied with their paint jobs and likenss, so no need to repaint so far.

Thank you I really appreciate it!

That repaint does look a helluva lot closer......scale is hard to worth with, I know
