Enterbay - 1:4 T-800 HD-1004 Photo Review. From Russia with Terminator love...

[Butters]

Thank you very much my friend!
About HT - 100% truth. Only very stubborn HT fanboy can tell that Hot Toys is more authentic than this one. I love & own Hot Toys 1/6 scale T2 version but it can't be compared to that Enterbay product. Not just because it's other scale, but just because it's all the way other league.
Hot Toys is a very good & interesting figure with a lot of pros, but it's more like stylization or artist interpretation of the Arnold as T-800. Enterbay's version is the most authentic mass-produced Schwarzenegger product you can get (+ SSC 1:1 T-800 bust).
I will post some comparison pics between real Arnold/Enterbay 1:4/Hot Toys 1:6 a little bit later. I have a photo set of the HT version too so it's not a big deal. Won't be hard at all.
И, конечно же, жму руку! Ты и на русском обзор прочёл?

It's the missing signature Arnie throat jowl that stops this figure from having a near perfect score...

Great review, I'm sold! This will be my own Christmas present^^

I just wish there wasn't a gap between the sunglasses and his nose. That bugs me a little

Cheers bro!
Wish you a merry christmas
Yes, there is a gap & you can't do anything with it (without sunglasses modification I mean), but it can be seen only on pics actually. In person it's very hard to notice.

Yes, true. But there is some subtleties again. This effect on the real Arnold (well, on any normal person) affected by the head/jaw position. In some way, it's like flexing muscles. And the main reason of this little flaw in the figure is the head articulation. If that detail was there - head articulation would have suffered.
And of course it's way too nitpicky for most people.

I agree, I honestly never really thought about the "throat jowl" until Maulfan posted a photo montage of movie stills. It's funny how you look at a persons face for so long and never notice something like that until it's pointed out to you.

Sined, this an amazing set of pictures.
Congrats on a job very, VERY well done.

If it wouldn´t be so expensive and I just payed for my HT CR Superman, I would order this right away, because of you´re pics.

Cheers, mate.

That is one AMAZING set of photos Sined!!

I really like the Mr Olympia poses too - it just shows how lifelike & fluid this figure is!!

If I didn't already have the sensational 1/6 HT Arnold.. I'd seriously consider getting this EB version.

Excellent review too man!

Yes, that hobby is so full of such surprises Expecially now, when products becomes more & more life-like & peoples automatically getting more & more demanding.

Thank you kind sir!
I hope you will be able to grab that one in the future for a reasonable price!
I think you will be able to do that because there is a 5 000 LE according to Enterbay & that's A LOT actually. Even with the fact that this figure is very cheap for it's quality, it's still pretty serious amount cash that not many are willing to pay for collectible.

Thanks bro!
Yes, the body of this figure is an unbelievable success. It's pretty much as close as fully articulated body can be to Schwarzenegger's shape in 1991 with all his trademark features.
And the pose-ability is out of this world too. It can perform very life-like poses. Especially the arms. But there is double jointed elbows that will make figure look odd without proper posing. So the pros can become cons here. But again - only because of the wrong attitude.
My only personal nitpick here is that the muscles on his body is a rubber suit. I don't trust rubber lol). But then again - it helps for the articulation & adds pretty cool stuff. For example - you can "beef-up" his neck by changing it's position. Just like real human.

Good is no longer good enough. It makes you wonder what's around the corner...

Excellent review of a great figure!! I can only imagine how cool would be an 1:4 Endo from these guys, will beat the SS 1:4 one completely.

Yeah))) We will end-up getting clones in various scales. But even then some folks will be like: "Meh! Easy pass for me. Just way too real to be real. It looks like an actor but not like a figure of an actor "

Thanks my friend!
Yes, 1:4 Endo from Enterbay would be awesome!
After this one - my personal dream is a T1 "Punk Outfit" T-800 from them. My favourite T-800 look from my favourite Sci-Fi thriller.

Holy Fffffff0ck!!!! Best pics yet. Any doubts I had utterly removed. Well done sir! Saved every one of those pics!

Thanks for the comparison pic with the sideshow premium format.

I wonder if somebody is going to try to put the premium format head on this one. That would interesting. I wouldn't mind trying that.

A must-have for you!
I know you are die-hard Terminator fan & when this bad boy will show up at your door - you'll be really amazed & happy die-hard Terminator fan!

Share some pics if you will be doing custom-project like this. But to be honest, there is no sense in doing that.

great pictures ! can't wait to get mine

Good to know Sined. Adding you to my list of best photographers on the forum. I'd say Maulfan will love those pics, unless he's posted already and I missed it.

 

[Sined]

I really appreciate your support my friend
Since there is actual interest I will be posting more photo reviews soon or will just open a thread with my collection to keep them all in one place.

Do I spy a wire in the collar? Is that already part of it or was that added? Damn, I still can't get over those pics, exactly what I wanted to see. So well posed and the clothes look so natural. Great lighting in those face closeups.

 

[Jackhepburn]

Best pictures yet, by far. Far superior to enterbay's snaps. Good spot a-dev. I think mine's gonna take ages because my eBay seller seems to be messing me about

 

[kdoty1]

These are great photos Sined,the best I've seen yet.Hope to see more great photos of this figure from you.And yes I would like to think we will see an endoskeleton and a T1 figure from Enterbay soon because I saw where they recently had gotten a full size endoskeleton in their poscession,but who knows.

 

[Jackhepburn]

Don't think I'd buy an Endo from Enterbay, But a 1/4 T-100 (With police bike gear!!) would be a must,

Yes, exactly, that's a wire, good eyes my friend
And yes, it was added by me to "futz" the collar. I'm not sure if I spell that correct though I mean to make it look right.
But now it is not there - it's not like with Hot Toys figure when you need the wire to be permanently attached. I've left it there for 1 night & voilà - it holds the shape just as I want.
Here is an examples - take a closer look at the collar in that pics:

1) Day one pic - collar out-from-the-box, with wire inside (can't hold desired shape well without it).

2) Day two pic - collar without the wire (hold's desired shape without wire & looks even better without having it inside).

Best pictures yet, by far. Far superior to enterbay's snaps. Good spot a-dev. I think mine's gonna take ages because my eBay seller seems to be messing me about

Cheers Jack!
Don't worry - if you ordered regular version (in silver box) - they've just released in China & just a few retailers have them in-hand. But it's just a matter of few days now I believe.

Thanks man! True about wish-list. I'll buy anything Terminator-related close to that quality & that price.
