NECA TOYS The Terminator Police Assualt T-800 Review

Police Assault T-800

The "Police Assault" in the Terminator was a scene I relished as a kid.  I always wanted the bad guys to win and take it to the good guys. The Terminator kills 17 police officers after driving a car through the front of the police station.  The music tone is great as he massacres cop after cop trying to find Sarah Connor.  This is a rarity in films as its always the good guys who win, but in this scene it's Terminator 17 - Cops 0. In my opinion, this scene may be the best scene in the entire franchise of the Terminator as it truly shows what a Terminator can do...kill mercilessly and without emotion.
*This is only a fantasy world opinion, not real life.*

NECA TOYS Ultimate T-800 T2 Figure Review

Ultimate T-800

The iconic T-800 may be the best character ever made! How many one liners have you spun off from this movie since you first watched it in 1991?  I can remember watching this movie with my family, 10 years old at the time and the scene where the step dad (Todd) takes the sword arm through the milk carton and his head.  My mother immediately said I was done watching Rated R movies. I laughed and so did my dad, because that was one of our favorite things to do.  Why do I mention this you ask? Because this figure brings me the same joy and mild snickers I had as a kid watching the movie.

Who's your Ultimate Team?

       Jon and I constantly debate who some of the top action icon characters are and who would you want on your team.  For instance, an all Vietnam era team would be James Braddock (Chuck Norris), Dutch Shaefer (Arnold Schwarzenegger), John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) and a tie between Colonel Trautman (Richard Crenna) and Hannibal Smith (George Peppard).  Who wouldn't want that to be your team?

Now who would they face off against?  Terminators, Aliens, and Predators are the top 3 I always think of. We aren't saying what if this movie was made or had these people in it, we're talking where does your imagination take you?  What other baddies could these insane soldiers take on?  What about an all cop team, or even an all soldier team?  I am writing this cause I wanna get every one's opinion and their wild thoughts on this insane universe.  Who are you taking on your team?  Who are they battling against, and of course who wins?

NECA Toys Viper Predator Review

NECA Viper Predator     

The Viper predator, leader of the notorious Serpent Clan! 

Today I am reviewing the evil Viper Predator that was originally to be included with the ultra-sick Predator Blade Fighter coming out later this month.  I wasn't sure how much I would like this particular Predator until I actually had him in my hands at the store.  The helmet, double blades, and colors all really gives him his own unique look and feel. There are lots of cool things to talk about so let's jump right into it!

Packaging:

The packaging is always great with every Predator figure NECA releases.  The art looks sharp and gives you a good idea of the figure you are buying with their insane background.  The figures they make are wonderful, but the packaging is always the cherry on top!

Figure:

The first thing I really noticed about this particular Predator was the ability to easily take his mask on and off.  NECA continues to improve the options of the figures and parts you can add and subtract to make him look the way you want.  The more we are able to customize, the better! He bends well, has good flexibility, and the joints seem to be tight and hold poses well.  The only thing I did notice was that when his legs are bent they will not bend straight back but off to the side.  I really didn't care that his legs did this because I, generally, don't pose them sitting or with their legs completely bent.  He comes with double wrist blades and a shoulder plasma cannon to take his enemies apart.

Weapons:

The weapons on this figure are pretty straight forward.  The double blades on each arm come out and seem to be made better than previous blades on Predators.  The mask he wears is awesome and his head and face are perfectly molded to fit and be removed easily.  It is difficult to say which look is better, but I really love having the option of either/or.  His shoulder cannon is pretty standard but a must for almost any predator.  He also comes with some extra hands which is great and provides more options when posing.

Overall:

Overall, I love this figure and the direction NECA continues to take in the world of Predator.  They continue to improve in every area and really make unique pieces for everyone to love.  Just by looking at the pictures you can truly see how unique this figure is. IMO, he is a must buy.  At this point, I think you really have to consider anything NECA is creating as a something you might to want to buy.  Bottom line: Predator rocks and NECA and is bringing it every day with no end in sight!
