Hot Toys - QS002 - The Terminator: 1/4th scale Endoskeleton Collectible Figure

[a-dev]

It makes a more subtle change than I imagined but an improvement nonetheless.

 

[P.]

just noticed that ht copied every fail of ss, including asimmetry of the face (jaw). haha.
they'd better copy the movie dolls but they are too cheaty for that and buyers are too ignorant.
still... it's an attempt! they already added 2 more wires into his chest, like in the movie. (and i don't mean the simplified t2 skeleton here)
only 100 more attempts are left!

No some buyers just don't suffer from chronic OCD.

They got the eyes right.
Looking up all menacing!
You can can see the angle from there unpacking photos, chrome looks good too.
Jaw looks a little uneven, but overall I'm in

1. I'm curious about the price of this baby.
2. How does the stand work in holding the Endo?

You must admit though, its plain lazy of HT to simply copy another company's work - if indeed that is the case. Set aside how OCD one perhaps has to be to consider this unsalvageable because of whatever innaccuracies there may be - should HT be looking at another company's figure or the actual film and the plethora of referance available directly from it?

If we're basing something on an assumption i'm not interested in the argument. Besides this is a prototype. Not final.

Sideshows lacks in the width of the jaw area but it's still a damn nice bust. I'm sure HT's will improve this.

Glad I added the 'if indeed that is the case' part of my post. Well, you'd have to prove that what is being called an innaccuracy is in fact an innaccuracy and I guess thats where we'd lose most people. Then you'd have to prove that this innaccuracy is common to both the HT and the SS or whatever its being alleged HT copied. Few people care enough to go through that. Guess I'm a fence-sitter. I can understand both sides.

I also agree with this. Of course I want an accurate product but i'd also want something versus nothing too. I'm obviously a huge T1 fan and would definitely want something accurate for the price but let's be honest here, how "off" is the likeness?

At one time the HT's Endo was considered "it" for Terminators collectibles. It's not anything great anymore.

Imo what you see is what you get. Take it or leave it really.

 

[EndoSickness]

Well, I have to be honest too.
A quarter scaled Endo will be one hell of a piece anyway and also truly the center piece of my collection.

Don't know how other feel about it.
But there are several things that need to be fixed and Voorhees is right by saying that this is "just" a prototype. And HOPEFULLY they'll be fixed.

I developed the thought that this reveal is ONLY to show the success of electroplating the whole piece and to show the sculpt so far.

From that point...it IS HIGHLY successful and theres surely half a year to go before the release and I guess/ hope it'll stunning.

"We are excited to present our long developed secret project - the 1:4th scale Endoskeleton Collectible from The Terminator movie!
The prototype is ready now and will go to mass production soon!
With past experience in the Endoskeleton development, this one is going to be more advanced, with electroplated armor and some metal parts!

Fans, more details will be unveiled very soon! Stay tuned!"

I don't expect anything more from them, in the end I can only be surprised. For now, I'm waiting for EB's response. There is room for a much much better endoskeleton and I think they can do it.

8 1/2 months? Why so long?

 

[Apone]

Interesting that the 1/4 pieces are QS, what does that stand for? I imagine Batman will be QS1?

Really? QS? Quarter Scale

might just wait to see what EB does as well. 1st qtr is bad enough as it is for me.

Wow, someone is 11 pages late to the party?

They didn't copy the Sideshow bust, that's the thing. The face isn't quite as long and the teeth are hugely improved. Really, the only glaring detail (or lack thereof) is the missing sunk-in section on the shoulder. Wires along the hands would be nice too, but I imagine that would be a pain in the neck in any scale besides 1/1. They'd have to be incredibly thin and therefore fragile -- meaning you wouldn't be able to pose those areas too much. I'd rather they keep it durable, if that's indeed the reason they're not adding those.

Dunno. I'm scared they're actually producing the endo right now...

Really? They might not fully copy the Sideshow bust they are definitely influenced by it. The large port cover is an another giveaway.

I was looking for this pic since the discussion on the headscuplt :

 

[EndoSickness]

After again seeing this pic I really hope they blacken more of the deeper details as the port cover, details around the eye sockets and so on.

I just so want this to be an exact duplicate of an endoskeleton in 1/4.

Prolly one of, if not THE only 1/4 piece I´ll ever get...

well the 1:1 and 1:2 versions aren't even close to exact duplicates, so............

 

[EndoSickness]

Yeah, you´re right about that, but concering the shape now and the sculpt...there´s potential!

It's already on eBay, $450.
