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

[jaxon]

Shipping to Aus, Melb $42.62. Sideshow shipped $442. Cheaper than popcultcha rrp$479.99.
Although I brought one shipped from popcultcha for $389 for the reg when they had a sale on. Can't have enough Endo's!

Ouh my god, how bad does the NECA endo look in comparison?!


But awesome shots, Andrew.

Pretty bad indeed. I love NECA but their older endo was never a favorite of mine. And at this scale its just too much of a toy.

There's also gulf between the price tags on those two. Thanks again for the comparison!

The Neca pred is an awesome figure, I just wish he was a bit bigger. Doesn't look at all out of place with those offerings from HT & EB, that says a lot considering you could almost buy five of them for the same coin this endo runs

Yep. As we've always said the NECA preds are more 1:5 scale than 1:4. What kind of a shortarse is Dutch going to be if they release one.

The skull on the NECA is complete wrong in it's proportions, HT nailed it.

Going to have to look it up but I suspect you are right. The NECA skull profile just looks totally wrong to me.

$389?! when did they have a sale? FFS I always miss out on their sales. I had been waiting on one as well, dammit!

But anyway, yeah, it's cheaper through Sideshow, but if I get a pack-out it may end up costing more, which is why I asked. Just not sure if I want to risk getting this one shipped without a pack-out, as it's quite a heavy box. I don't think anything will happen to the figure, but I think the box might get damaged due to the weight, as it is quite a heavy figure, and I like to keep my boxes mint.

Did you order an Exclusive through Sideshow as well?

HT variant has some shape mistakes in mouth/cheeks/jaw details, but the overall shape... a picture says enough:

neca looks like an ape, same for the old HT variant.

I do see the slight inaccuracies I think. It looks like the piston right behind the teeth should be more angled on the HT to be in line with the film version. I think the biggest problem is the teeth.

Is the jawline too straight on the HT version? Or does it look more curved in the film from the angle?

you're right in all details you've noticed.
also notice the method of neck cartilage attachment to the skull (shown by wire on endoskeleton).
there is no Г-shaped thing on actual endoskeleton while SS and HT always use it.

Yep, also Just got my shipping notice for the EX from Sideshow!
Shipping weight 9lbs.
I would have ordered x2 from them but they had a limit. I wouldn't worry about the pack out, never had a problem with hot toys products from them.
P.s.
I got lucky on the Popculthca 20% off sale. Hadn't checked their site a year or so and when I did. Buy buy buy

Lucky bastard!

On the plus side, my GF decided to get this for me for my birthday She wants to use my account to order it though as she doesn't want to go through the hassle of signing up, filling out those forms, scanning credit card/drivers license etc.... They make you do for international customers.

Does anyone know if she can order using my account details but pay with her credit card?

Cool, thanks man, so just change my card to hers, make the purchase, then go back and change the card details to mine again, got it. If you do this, do they ask for some sort of verification to prove you haven't stolen the card?

[Snake Plissken]

Sideshow kind of messed my order up, they told me they changed my final flex to the date they would get it and they didn't. But I just did live chat with a rep for the first time which I should of did days ago and it's going out today or Monday
