Chronicle collectibles T-800 life size bust: Terminator Genisys.

[azurepred]

looks ok. At least the QC should be good.

 

[Collectorcol]

Foam looks cheap just like Sideshows.

Actually it does look pretty bad. Little protection to the bottom rear if dropped.

I just now realized he didn't pull the foam out of the neck yet. Lol!

 

[darkmummy]

Actually I'm happy to see that it's indeed very closed to the proto when finally this piece turns out. Yes the foam can be better, but as long as it offers good protection, I'm ok with those cheap foam.
PS: I still wish it can be chrome shiny as sideshow's even though it may not be screen accurate.

Looks nice and sharp...but the paintjob is not mine.I know its screenaccurate with this silver paint...but I prefer the chromed look of the older endos.

People always gravitate towards my chrome SS endoskull moreso than any other piece I own. I guess everyone likes shiny things lol. It's understandable they didn't use chrome for the on screen props because it's a PITA to film due to light and image reflection.

Even with all the CGI, a lot of work went into the practical effects for this movie. Pretty amazing.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

That's a great video!

 

[T.W.G]

Bust is first class but the eyes are as cheap and awful as sideshows. :-(

 

[darkmummy]

Some new pics found on internet, not quite sure about the paint apps now.



But at least, the model detail looks good, quite sharp to me.

 

[Patriot666]

It looks like it came out of production as advertised. For better or worse, we knew it wouldn't be chrome.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

Seeing those side-by-side I actually prefer Chronicle's paint to the chrome. Realistically why would Skynet make sure to use polished chrome on the Endos? It would be funny to see a scene with a human worker polishing each endoskeleton before outfitting it with weapons to go kill humans.

 

[Patriot666]

To me the chrome gives it more of a surgical, precise, high technology instrument of death feel. The duller look makes it look more like a killer machine. It's funny how being shiny changes the impression it gives, well at least it does for me.

 

[Python]

I like both looks, this one was never meant to be chrome so it is unfair to directly compare the two. At least the teeth look to be a more natural colour on this one although they still aren't perfect.

 

[kroenen77]

The Chronicles skull looks a little bit cheap next to the chromed one.Sorry.
The chromed endos looks like made from Surgical Steel.Chronicles skull looks only silverpainted.

 

[Vitus]

It could have looked good between Sideshow's T-700 and T-800 if they were the same height... a transition of colors...

 

[Collectorcol]

For me, SS piece looks better and more like the Terminator I love.

 

[PermaG]

I still need to see the movie and then I need to love the Terms in there the same or more than I do the OG Terms.
But as it stands, with these other remakes..Robo, Total, cant remember others being so non-memorable...just being from Gen is enough of a turn off.

I think it looks pretty detailed and clean and just what they promised. Some might not like the finish, etc...but that is part of what they do, screen accurate.

With this product, I hope they can get more/older terminator licenses. *cough* Predator too

I love G1 Transformers, but I aint scooping up any Bayformers anytime soon.
extreme comparison

 

[azurepred]

I'm sure it looks different in hand, but in pics, it defn looks very placticy. I hate how pristine clean the teeth on most Endos are too. The T-700 bust just looks so mean. I also prefer the chrome look in in the comparison above. I'm glad I passed on all the CC Terminator stuff. Nothing that really screams must have imo.
