Toy Fair ’10: NECA’s Astounding New ‘Terminator’ Figures
What I would have done for these when I was a youngin’. NECA revealed even more badass Terminator figures at this weekend’s Toy Fair in New York. It looks like a mix of figures from both Terminator 2: Judgement Day and Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines with the standout figure being that of Robert Patrick as the T-1000 in mid-shape-shift (love that shiny “mimetic poly-alloy”). What I would do for a 16″ version of that toy.
“Two additional new Terminator 2 ‘Judgement Day’ T-800 figures with different deco, weapons and hands and the three versions of the T-1000 were on display at the NECA booth.
* T-800 (Battle Across Time) Figure will feature different hands and a phase plasma rifle.
* T-800 (Steel Mill) Figure will feature new deco and battle damage.
* T-1000 (Liquid Metal) This may possibly be an exclusive later in the year.
* T-1000 (Police Officer) This figure is based on the 1st police officer form the T-1000 takes and will include a pistol and additional hand with pointed metal finger.
* T-1000 (Motorcycle Officer) This figure will feature interchangeable mettalic hook hands and a split in half in addition to another head which was not shown.”
