Sorry for the late shipping on this guys, totally my fault. The delay rests with me trying to get this as nice as humanly possible.

Once I saw that Sideshow painted their Endoskeleton Maquette flat silver I was like WTF?

Well I think ours with at least look very close to the movie Endo...

They said that 2 months ago too...

I'll believe it when I get my tracking notice. I'm sure I'll be happy with it when it arrives, but I stopped being hyped about this about 6 months ago.

They ship today from the factory or have already started shipping since they are a day ahead....

There will probably be some in-hand pics soon from Asia. I'm hoping I get mine before the end of the year.

Which year?

Maybe we can ask to Marty Mcfly if he has seen anything

In regards to when we actually get to see the final product

CC:

When it arrives in peoples hands...

At the least, i would prefer/wouldn't mind if CC actually posted a few decent shots first, of the final production pieces.

He also keeps saying they got the best finish possible.
No clear production pictures? I'd be worried...

 

[HODLr]

Why worry? If it's not what was promised/shown, send it back. They are very nice if you want to return something.

Not really, no redeeming qualities with the SS one.

Agreed. License aside, I think this is the best. Highly accurate, and some shine to the finish.

Can't be worse than the SS one.

It's so frustrating that Sideshow are sitting on my favourite licenses, and they just haven't been delivering on quality. I'm passing on a 1/4 Predator, and a 1/4 T1 Endo. That should not be happening!

Exactly, I wanted both their Endo and 2 Preds, but they all came out terrible.

The time has finally come for the Terminator Genisys 1:4 Scale Endoskeleton to leave the manufacturer. We want to thank each of our customers for their incredible patience and understanding while we've worked to perfect this piece. We're excited to announce that it will be shipping with the magnificent King Conan and both are expected to arrive around or immediately following the Christmas holiday.

Great news!

I'd be worried. People weren't exactly thrilled with the dark, non-reflective finish in the finished prototype yet he did say they were being packed for shipping on 10-26. What I don't understand is his post on Nov 7th:

"Sorry for the late shipping on this guys, totally my fault. The delay rests with me trying to get this as nice as humanly possible.

First off, WTF does that mean exactly? Did he halt shipment, experiment with a glossier finish, then order a completely new refinish on all pieces? I find his vagueness and ambiguity infuriating. Coupled with no progress pics, I'd speculate that trouble in the paint department is brewing overseas. I don't know know when that newsletter update coincides with his Nov 7th post but at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if it was delayed 'til sometime in 2017.
