Endoskull Roll Call...

The M1 looks good, the kick-starter skull, not so much.

Merry Christmas, folks!
To Patton:
I got it from Japan where M1 originally came from. The seller seems didn't know/care what he was selling. And amazingly the light feature still works after 25 years of the production!

It's so awesome that everytime I look at, it reminds me how menacing when I first time saw an endoskeleton.
And again, the details are superb, here are some super close-up shot, I bet for the most of you, it would be the first time to see such striking details from an endoskull.

Wow, super clean. Who made it?

Will you post photos of the bottom, neck, base?

How can I get one of these kits?Cannot find one on ebay.

Just keep your eye on Ebay. Sometimes they only show up once or twice a year. I purchased mine on Ebay in 2016 for $400. The guy who owned it never built it so it's in like new condition.

I had previously purchased one of the Thai recasts and it's ok but definitely a bit smaller... almost like a child skull in comparison. I'll post photos of them side-by-side so you can see the difference.

Yahoo Japan has them a little more often. There was one there last week in the $400 range.

My original M1 on the right compared to a Thai recast on the left. The original M1 is roughly an inch longer in height, width and length. I also included a pic of the entire kit and the neck/base.

I love the crisp details of the M1 kit and the machined parts. The base sucks though.

I agree. The base is a POS.

I believe the m1 kit is based from an original casting from Stan Winston, or from the molds, dont remember exactly but remember something about it from years ago definitely a great kit tho... except for that base haha

That is my recollection as well.

It's cast from the original mold as the description on the box says. Personally I don't care about the base, there is nothing wrong with it, even looks better than the Icon's. All I want is the most accurate endoskull with the sharpest details, that's M1 all about.
Some shots of the original 'art' box, it's still more 'arty' than the recent art box of ss wolf LSB bust.

Thanks for the pics.So only an original would be interesting for me.

Man, the ebay is filled with bootleg/fake/recast Endoskulls

Yes they are recast and yes it's wrong but they are actually very good quality especially considering they are a lot less cheaper

Look at the teeth of that T2 endo. It's horrendous. Many have tilted heads on side. I wouldn't buy that for a dollar...

 

[kroenen77]

The endos are really bad.But the TX is really cool...if she will look like on the pics there.

I wouldn't try it with my money.
