I completely forget about this thing. I actually can't believe it still hasn't come out. Such useless timing on Hot Toys part.
I preordered this thing when it first went up and now I wish I hadn't. My excitement for a 1/6 scale Endo clouded my thinking into ignoring this is from Genisys. Wonder if SSC will let me transfer my NRD for Yoda.
An endo is an endo in the end of the day and regardless if its from genisys or not most people who aren't terminator buffs won't spot the difference. They'll just think cool an endo isn't that from terminator. Besides the design is actually quite nice on this endo and needless to say its a huge improvement on hot toys previous version.
Considering this might be the only new 1/6 Endo we'll ever get from HT, I'm considering it although the notion of owning an official merchandise from this satanic, evil movie is something I can't sanction. I only take consolation in knowing that most people just can't tell the difference between the Endos.
you can always pretend it is a T-700 from T1 novel, as its constuction is a downgrade to T-800 => he is more vulnerable.
(i hope series 700 was in original novel... it was in russian translation in Kyle's thoughts.)
i might do exactly that, if he is ever made.
i actually believe that in T1 universe you wouldn't see any acting skeletons at all until the end. all those skeletons walking and shooting were the end of the war, when Skynet unpacked all its machines from storages and threw at humans in a final attempt to defend itself. it is widely used in other movies, games, comics, etc etc, but it is totally illogical for original universe: if people knew how terminators look, walk, act, they would be always ready to judge everybody by his appearance. somebody with their pattern of behavior can count for a grave silent warrior only as long as people who confronted them died. remember, there were a lot of guards and heavy weapons in T1 bunker, and only one terminator destroyed it without damages - no way to put him down and investigate. he even had to appear again in T2 beginning.Meh, I'd rather see a T-600, which was mentioned in T1 but only appeared in Salvation and TSCC.

Reese didn't even say that they killed T-600s easily. he just said that they spotted them easily. no way Skynet would invest into small but complex machines if people knew everything about them, and knowing everything means seeing often and killing often.
i cannot formulate my thought better, but walking skeletons on a regular basis is comics rubbish. i believe they were kept in secret and deployed rarely, not making regular patrols, letting everybody see them walking without fear (abnorml for a human) and study their hunt patterns from a distance.
so you wouldn't see any intact skeleton in original universe anyway, thus there is no difference which model it is.
but it's just my view on the universe
