uhhhhhhhhhhhh

Are you agreeing with me? ..or is that one of these ""

 

[DiFabio]

No it's more like one of these,

 

[Calcifer]

No it's more like one of these,

I don't actually know what that monkey thing is used for..

Looks like both of you suffer the "head not fully inserted into the neck issue" and also could benefit from the pink paperclip mod
If you can't feel the head make the "pop" when inserting then it's not fully in. As per another freak remove the double balljoint from the neck and put it by itself into the head first (or was it the other way around) and then the final assembly and it should be easier to do

yeah thanks for the info . for some reason the head pops off really easy , i did what u said and i heard the pop sound , again thanks

The t800 is the nicest figure to hold..he feels so heavy and solid

That's what she said

 

[DiFabio]

Hehe... Sorry dude, just had to point it out.

I'm very fixed with the "Long neck syndrome" even if the head is popped in correctly i still thinks it looks wrong.. So i can spend hours sitting there trying to get the head further down

edit: I think hot toys have made the head joints too sturdy, the head does not get any stress, legs and arms yes (Which is a pain with SS figures cause there joints are loose like a hooker).

I do agree the neck can look awkward easily. T-800 having hte jacket sit nice and close helps though. also pose of the neck too far forward will also make the neck look even more crooked... heck I look crooked in some of my pictures if I am not careful in how I position my own real neck when taking pictures and BAM I look like freaking ET

Gentlemen, just looking for opinions on something I've done to the endoskeleton arm for this figure.

I broke the thumb off yesterday and decided 'feck it, might aswell use this arm as a guinea pig for the arm shortening mod I had in mind and if it works well do a more learned and better job on another of my spare endo arms'.

As we all kinda know the endo-forearm for this figure is too long compared to the normal human arm - just put both arms down by his sides to prove this. It kinda has always bugged me that Hot Toys scaled the endo arm to be consistent with the oversized full endoskeleton figure instead of making it proportional to the damned figure it actually belongs to. So I shortened it and here are the results which I'm kinda of two minds about:

I also reorientated the thumb to a more natural human position. But what do you guys think honestly?

Nice job! Any photos on the work in progress?

 

[ENDO-HUNTER]

I like this pose. Good job. Was the original endoarm really that out of proportion? Mike

[MarrowMan]

I think it looks far better.

Well sorta. Just these two. But I actually did more cutting & shortening of the arm rods (using a switch-blade) after I took these-

It was at least a full fist-hand longer than the human arm.

I just noticed now the head wasnt fully in on mine!

Wasnt noticable really I was just like "I dont remember a pop..."

Also +1 for Pink Paperclip(tm)
