1:1 scale endoskeleton Arm Value

[Detale78]

I have the opportunity to pick up this piece that I have been wanting for years. The asking price is $1,170 dollars shipped. Does anybody have any opinions on whether this is a good deal or not. Also to anyone who owns this what are your opinions. I usually do not do this and make decisions for myself but I really want it but don't want to overpay for this and regret it.

Thanks in advance!!!

 

[Balsquat]

If you truly wan't it. You can't overpay.
They don't come up often. If you truly love this piece, than grab it. That's what I would do.

Dont know much about the value but I do know that this is a hard to find piece.....

 

[ENDO-HUNTER]

It's a fantastic piece that I as a TERMINATOR FREAK could not live without it in my collection. Now that being said they do come up on ebay fairly often and I think you could do a little better than $1170 shipped. Here is one with MAKE AN OFFER and FREE SHIPPING. Offer $1000.00 you never know in this economy. Good luck. Mike

I was looking at the same piece some time ago and watched quite a few reviews on it.

Visually, its awesome but you might be a little let down that none of the fingers move. There is NO joint movement at all.


So considering that a full 1:1 endo costs roughly 5.5k, 1.1k for one non-movable arm might be a little steep.

Might be better to save up a little and get the 1:1 that has movable fingers on its left arm.

Who cares if it has no finger or joint movement. Do you plan on posing the fingers in a THUMBS UP or FLIPPING the BIRD Come on bro. It's an ICONIC vision from T2. A must have for a TERMINATOR fan. There is no better example on the marked since ICONS and TIMELESS COLLECTIBLES are SO HARD to acquire. If you can get one and even have a TUBE made from FRANCIS LUCAS STUDIOS or somewhere else it is a CENTERPIECE collectible. Of course a 1:1 is the ULTIMATE nobady will argue that but way out of reach for most and display room is ridiculously much. Mike

Hi Mike. different strokes for different folks i guess.

I dun intend to repose the fingers per se but like the idea that it is likely to be more durable and less prone to breakage because there are joints.

I agree with you that space is a premium for most of us, we might have the $ for it but finding the space for it might be tough.

That is actually also one of the considerations when I suggested the 1:1 endo.

It has the head, the pulse rifle, the arm all in one display without the need for shelves.

I love the terminator license and added up the cost of getting the clean head + arm + plasma rifle and it came close to the 1:1 endo hence the recommendation.

 

[ENDO-HUNTER]

Hey bro. Man TERMINATOR collectibles sure cost a pretty penny don't they. I wish that I had the good fortune of having a 1:1 ENDOSKELETON in my living room It really don't get better than that I agree!! Take care buddy. Mike

Here's me rooting for you to strike loto or the equivalent Mike. If anyone deserves the 1:1 I'd say you and Chris would

 

[FelMar]

You guys make some good points

This was the reason for me selling the plasma rifle..I figured the 1:1 would have i already

As far as current market price for the 1:1 endoarm...I'd say about $1100.00 shipped is the going rate.

 

[ENDO-HUNTER]

It's the thrill of the chase. And a whole lot of dreaming. Thanks man. Mike

Sideshow or Timeless Collectibles? I would think TC is more rare and worth more. I don't know if ICONS made one.

 

[Toni Plutonij]

SideShow version of hand is a bit better, but comes without a tube..
Timeless is much more rare, and comes with the tube, so overall looks like a complete piece..
If I had the chance to choose one, I'd take Timeless, however, once displayed, in my opinion, hand is one of the strongest and THE best representations of the Terminator in whole..

$1000+ is still way out of my range, and that's the reason why I still don't have one, but I'm hoping to get/build one eventually, and it'll be articulated!


EDIT: And just to add, I don't think that Icons ever offered the Arm, there is SideShow, Timeless and Cinema Replicas (Crazy Replicas) version.....Don't know of any other..

 

[fopflugel]

I've sold mine recently for $1100 (Sideshow version)

 

[jkno]

Hope one day someone to make a full metal one with movable joints and finger. The same with a 1:3 or 1:2 full body Endo scale version.

 

[COBRA CRUIZER]

jkno is right! Russ should do a full scale arm.

Yeah baby!!

 

[ENDO-HUNTER]

Yeah... I guess ICONS never made an Endoarm... My bad As for the TIMELESS COLLECTIBLES that would be my choice if I were ever able to find one and had the available money to buy it. I always thought it was a higher quality piece overall especially with the TUBE and certificate. For those of you who may not of seen I posted a few pics of the a more screen accurate looking base I had RUSS make for me. He machined it out of SOLID ALUMINUM. RUSS is very capable as we all know of making a 1:1 ENDOARM and wouldn't that be a dream come true. Good luck and do let us know once you acquire that 1:1 Endoarm for yourself. Mike
