now it looks great instead of kenner-meh, and i would never say it's not stock paint.
well... actually i could. there are no paint stains in wrong places where they would be on an actual Neca figure
Really raises the impression of the figure. We had fair warning about the lack of Public Enemy logo but that lack of Camo on the shirt felt a bit insulting.

I though this was hilarious (from Mr. Evilcheese review).
On twitter today
OK...if this is one of Randy's little white lies, I would say to him - what is there for NECA to gain by telling people this lie if in fact you do intend to release John again? I don't get it. Seems to me the only people who benefit from this playful deception will be aftermarket sellers on ebay. So, if you're bull***tting us Randy, stop right now, this isn't the time for that crap.
The second scenario is that he isn't lying, and John follows the Hawkins or red-shirt Dutch example of one-and-done SDCC exclusives that don't get reissued in any form. This will add salt to the wound that many Terminator fans sustained when Randy announced so late that John was to be an exclusive. Many if not most people assumed he was to be a regular release when he was first shown off at SDCC 2018 and Randy did nothing to correct our mistaken notion - allowing us all to get our hopes up. After a long wait he revealed him as an exclusive like as if it was great news, as if it wasn't going to piss people right off. So no reissue in any form is a gut punch to Terminator fans.

I had a look on Ebay last night just to see how much he's going for. I literally said '**** that' out loud.

Most sold listing aren't terribly higher than the MSRP. I wonder if it might be a licensing issue with Furlong that also prevents a wide release?
Naw, I don't think Randy would have a problem saying that if it was the case.
What bugs me is that he might be doing a lie/tease here. He may well intend to give John a wider release ala Newt - but also he might not. The doubt he creates will spur people to buy on ebay. And if they later do release John to the wider market then that pisses off the people who overpaid on ebay as a direct result of the uncertainty Randy cultivated initially.

I missed Hawkins and red shirt Dutch and that's why I paid $80 for John Connor. NECA pisses me off on the regular.

I really enjoy the Terminator franchise, but I consider myself lucky that I am not a hardcore NECA guy, because this kind of stuff, where such a pivitol character (John, for instance, from T2) is either never produced, joked about, or released in such limited quantities at a con 90% of us can't get to, I'd lose my mind. I feel for you guys.

As long as NECA makes a ton of Coraline products i?m content.

They just made the most bad ass looking 1/12 scale plastic Batman action figure ever.
My ass will be focused just on that at NYCC.

And makes it look like it was a stone block with "articulation" added so the figure looks good in only one pose?

Yeah, unfortunately, that's the big drawback with anything done by McFarlane. Except for maybe the first couple of series of Spawn figures, they have always been done as jointed statues instead of "action" figures.
Are either of you up to date with the last 5 years of McFarlane figures?
