San Diego Comic Con is just over two months forth , and you recognize what that imply ? It ’s fourth dimension to unveil the oodles of Con - undivided product that ’ll be useable . NECA ’s kicking off the notecase - tempting with a take on a retro toy dog idea that does n’t fall into some of thepitfalls of the recent “ retro style ” boom .
The plaything is one of NECA ’s late T-800 ’s but with excess small-arm to make it glow in the dark , á la Kenner’sEndoglow Terminatortoy from their Terminator 2 wrinkle . It even come on the sure-enough - style Kenner packaging !
But , that ’s all that ’s retro about it . It ’s a modern , amply articulated toy , rather than try out to emulate the one-time sculpt or point in time of articulation . It ’s the best of both worlds — honoring the nostalgia agent while being a modern action figure , rather than charging advanced prices for decidedly dated looking toys .
Plus , it glows in the shadow . No matter how old you get , fluorescent green shine things are still somehow exciting .
