I tuned in too, maybe they´ll respond soon...
I've been saying this all along...
Gonna hold out for EB's version. It'll probably be more fragile, but I'll order from timcent and it's not like I was gonna mess around with it after the initial posing anyway.
I'm thinking of doing the same even though I just asked my local dealer for a discount on this figure.. The scale difference in that latest pic drives me crazy.. The only way I'd buy it if they were displayed in different areas but that's not how I want to display them..
I've messaged all of them, Bill, Natalie, Enterbay
I'm gonna do the same!
Great dude, the more the merrier!
This scale issue worries me about the police shootout version which I had all intention of displaying with my Enterbay Arnies and whichever endo I picked up (looking more likely to be the Enterbay release if its still a reality). I hope that version won't be too small stood next to those on display.

More convinced comparison photo.
Theres one thing that has me still kinda doubting whether theres really any problem.
Endoskeleton figures pretty much never exactly correspond with the physiques of the Arnie figures.
I've always thought when looking at endoskeletons that there isn't enough of a neck on them, where if you imagine Arnie superimposed over them his head would be squashed into his torso.

Thought that was just a problem with the design itself... Arnold's physique never logically matched an endo.

Well we do suspend bit of disbelief on teh endo inside the shape of Arnirie as yeah, even the shoulders are not the right shape.
But still, this much difference, for me anyways is bit hard to over look... and the narrow head!

*Thinks...Thinks...still thinks...*
New point...never thought about that...
Seems legit...
So what you´re trying to say is that NO endoskeleton "ever" will fit the build and height of Arnold...s´that right, in that sense?!
Just looking at that pic and if try to imagine the size of Arnie's human skeleton - the size of the endo actually looks alright - the only problem is the parts don't exactly correspond - but, as I said, they never do
It´s looks so narrow cause of the neck and the hoses and the bars on the sides of his head...it would have such a beasty neck as a human...

I think the term you are looking for is 'anotomical!'
Anatomically we have to suspend disbelief.

we will justify why we have all bought this wonderful but slightly small endo

Sorry, that was in reference to what a-Dev just said! You just got in there faster!

Alright, mate...so in that sense that they don´t correspond anatomically correct, eh?!
Yeah...but you gotta hand it to HT:
From the picture it looks like the one used for the movie, from the overall proportions, when I remember correct, except little mistakes, like the "collarbone-pistons"...

There are better experts on endo screen accuracy than I, but the endo was always very anatomically weird and hard to image how human anatomy and how it works could ever house an endo.
Kneecaps, elbows, forearms and shoulders are all cylinders rather than expected bone shape beneath, that kinda thing!
But we just look past that as it's all so flippen cool!!

Yeah, anatomically the endoskeleton isn't entirely realistic. If a human covering was placed over it and stuck rigidly to it you'd have the head squashed into the shoulders and those collar-bone pieces would be jutting out in a bizarre way - Arnie's sloping shoulders would be nowhere to be seen. His knees wouldn't be a normal human shape etc etc

Absolutely, there are just pieces missing, or otherwise formed, so that it can move, which would total "off" the normal form of the human body.
They would just be round, the hoses on his shoulder would form kinda sharp edges on the outer side of the skin and so on.
I guess we can say that we have a "rather" perfect rendition of it.
I´ll be happy to call this mine.

Ah, that'll do nicely!
