NECA: Commando Figure

[jye4ever]

Many I saw, including mine, have a shorter left leg.

Tiny difference, but enough to annoy the crap out of me!

Told you I was stealing it!

^^very nice Jye

Well my figure didn't arrive today but hey at least I had to unexpectedly hand over 2 weeks+ of my wages for bills that did arrive......oh wait that sucks too. **** you monday. **** you very much indeed.

Everytime I pay a bill or home repair I think about the collectible I could've bought.

Picked this figure up a couple of days ago and I must say it's excellent

Get to da choppa!

Wait.....

Man, I'm tempted to get this figure after looking at all those pics, but he'll have to wait for now.

Awesome figure, never thought I would have a John matrix figure. Would still love the hot toy version but this will do.

It'd be nice if it sells out. Imagine if it did well enough to convince NECA to make a few other Arnie characters - Ben Richards from The Running Man, Doug Quaid from Total Recall. I doubt it though, those would need to be entirely new sculpts and what probably appealed to NECA about John Matrix was the reuse potential for Dutch parts.

Just please give us a 1/4 War Paint Conan, PLEASE NECA, I'm begging you!

they've literally reused the exact leg moulds, even the thin string that held the knife holster to his left leg on the Dutch figure is on the commando figures leg.

I had the 1/4 Dutch in my claws at NYCC for $80 and I didn't buy it!

Regretting it big time after I saw my 1/4 Predator all by his lonesome at home.

But you paid your electricity bill bud....so all is okay....

Aaaaaand no Commando figure today either. Man, how was my clock so off on this one. I was looking for it friday. When that didn't happen I thought ''definitely'' monday. And it just keeps going like that. **** sake. Going to a 2 day wedding thing this weekend, I'd like to have some time with the figure before then. Yeah yeah yeah first world problems etc etc etc

The 1:4 Dutch is one that I opted not to buy but have kinda been reconsidering the past few days actually. No rush though as BBTS appear to have plenty of them.

You have 1/4 Pred?

If so it makes it very hard to pass him up.

Not a big fan of his mouth and cheek puckered up for a kiss, but overall he's a really great version of Arnold.

 

[a-dev]

I think they were going for the look on his face while actually firing the gun.


I do have their Predators but as they wouldn't be in proper scale with Dutch, that's why I originally opted not to buy Dutch.

 

[jye4ever]

True, scale is off but its better than the only alternative, the 7".

 

[ApeManRyan]

Decided to finally order my John Matrix. I cannot wait! Hearing all the positives on this figure made me jump for it.

 

[illproxy]

face looks so rough, did they try and do pore like details in the sculpt?
