I know plenty of people stick to a particular scale when it comes to their collections, but one advantage of grabbing toylines of varying scales is it gives your toys their own toys to play with.

God even now these old timers demand so much attention. Crazy how much prescence the kenner line had. Sort of related, do you have any thoughts on the vintage 18 inch figure? I know some reproductions have been made over the years. That toy really deserves better in anycase. Just like the Shogun Warriors, I find myself wishing for a mass market reissue of that beauty,

I'm really tempted to buy John next despite still not having pulled the trigger on Kromium or Cybergrip yet. It's the slippery slope of collecting vintage, even when it's affordable, how do you best prioritize purchases?
On a related note pic related still captures my imagination. Not just the reuse but the actual box art. I used AI to enlarge and clean up a battered boxed example I saw online. This thing really feels like a missing link to the original line.

Thank you, just for fun here is an alternate idea that I though about going with where the Alien was facing the wrong direction, because they don't have eyes and wouldn't be able to see the screen, but I wasn't sure if the joke would land.
>do you have any thoughts on the vintage 18 inch figure?
I think the figure is honestly a work of art, the inner jaw mechanism, the glow in the dark paint under the dome, the curled tail acting as hook so you could hand it like the alien does hanging from the chains in the film. Really great play ideas, the figure is one of my true final grails, unfortunately every year they get harder to find and more expensive. There will probably have to be a mass die-off of older collectors to bring them back into the market.
The fact that because of the controversy bunches of the figure were apparently clearanced out for a couple bucks toward the end blows my mind. Makes me wish I had a time machine to go back and grab a brand new one.

Honestly not well. If were go by Arnold's height and the animatronic Endo then the T-600 should be 6'2" and the Endo should be 6'. Preds are supposed to be around seven and a half feet tall, and standard Xenos are between 8 and 9 feet tall. So the scale is all outta whack.
The Toy Island Endo is way too small as well (though if you get the recent Marvel Legends Retro 3.75 inch scale Silver Surfer it does scale accurately for a T-1000).
>>
>>11798231
>how do you best prioritize purchases?
I mainly focus on how close to screen accurate the figures are and how central a character, so I would absolutely grab John before Kromium or Cybergrip. In fact I've kinda written off Cybergrip entirely because I'm worried about GPS, but also I am trying to limit my collection to just what I really want. When I watch any of the RAPT movies I like to grab the figures off the shelf sometimes and have them on the couch to mess around with while watching, and Kromium and Cybergrip just don't fit into that.

I find it weird that they decided the helicopter should be another hero vehicle for the Terminator, especially given the it's the T-1000 that flies the chopper in the film.
Actually if the budget were there, and given how popular fake damage toys were in the 90s, it would have been awesome to have the chopper and the SWAT van that had compatible breakaway parts so you could crash the chopper into the back of the SWAT van. Maybe it even activates some kind of sled/go-kart thing that launches out the front. I can just hear the toy voice over guy now "The Evil T-1000 crashes his Crash and Ram Chopper into the heroic Terminator Super Van, but the Heroic T-800 keeps going in the Escape Sled!" then a shot of the sled driving into the distance while some kid shakes the T-1000 "I'll get you next time Terminator!"

Oh man the stories I've heard from older collectors over the years. I'm pretty sure there are photos of clearance bins from long defunct toy stores brimming with those xenos. There's nothing sadder to me than visuals like that. Atleast the stuff that pegwarms nowadays is just legitimately crap for the most part. That xeno really was a true and honest toy. The platonic ideal of what a boy's toy should strive to be. I feel the same way about Shogun Warriors and vintage MOTU.
>>11798679
>Kenner Batman scales better with the predator and xeno lines than terminator
I really wonder what compelled the T2 designers to go with that 5.5 scale instead of 4.5 like all these other lines. From the looks of it I bet the Swamp Thing toys scale with these guys just as swimmingly. Shit imagine if they'ed thought to reuse the swamp trap or the endor tree fort for the pred line. Hell thinking about it now they could have released a Batman and Predator pack to coinside with the comic's release.
>>11798688
In Cybergrip's defense I havent seen many broken examples online, just incomplete ones. Kromium's a bit more difficult because his springs tend to give out. I get your logic in anycase. I just know I'll leap frog from one line to the next. My collection still lacks a Jack Slater lol.

It likely just boils down to them having the mold then putting two and two together. The original Rambo iteration already looks cool on its own. Bringing the neon red and chrome camo from the kenner assault coupe just gave it such a distinct personality. It's hard not to appreciate what a difference a different color palette can make. Your old Terminator photo set led to me editing pic related together for my own amusement.
The Crash Test Dummy gimmicks really dont see enough use these days right? I'm surprised they werent cribbed more often back then.

I wouldn't go as far as to say you should sell your collection. If there are figures you still enjoy you shouldn't get rid of them just because NECA anon is an asshole.
That said, you're also free to do what you want with your toys, and if you're putting that money toward something you want even more then God Speed, Spider-Man.

>>11802140
I'm not going to argue with you about the fragility of NECA products, this is a known factor reported by multiple sources for years. Even you've stopped trying to excuse it as people being hamhanded you, you just say people are lying now. The fact that you've been trolling this board for probably a full decade now is just insane behaviour.
>>
>>
>>11802149
It's not made up because there is photo evidence, which you actually can't refute. It's impossible for you to deny the actual proof because you have nothing to counter it with. Saying someone is lying, is further proof that it's real.
>>
>>
>>11802183
No see, every time you accuse someone of lying about how fragile NECA figures are, it just proves it to be more true. Not just in this thread, in every thread. You're just making the issue more known.
>>
>>11802198
No flooding the threads with NECA promo images, which are off-topic, makes them unusable. Also I'm not responding to you anymore because A. you're not worth my time and B. I'd rather talk about toys, not you being a whiny little baby.

They really do. Also given how big the Lanard Queen looks, I think it has the potential to give Kenner's first Alien queen figure a second life. You could just call it a Praetorian and it would fit really well.

Technically yes. People with artificial enhancements or augments are technically cyborgs, so someone with a pacemaker or hearing aide qualify as cyborgs. It's not as exciting or glamorous as a sci-fi movie, but still true. That said if you went up to someone even as recently as the 1920s and said "we can drill into your skull, put in a bunch of wires, and you won't be deaf anymore" they'd probably say "Huh?" and then when you wrote it down, it would blow their mind.
