Got my dios this morning at work. One great thing about working for FedEx is that my Sideshow shipments are always waiting for me when I come in at 6:30 in the morning. I just have them delivered there by us. It's funny when UPS has to come in to deliver whatever Sideshow used them to deliver though.
When I opened one at work, they seemed pretty metallic looking, but when I finally got home and put them next to my t-800, damn did they look black.
I'm not going to review them because they are pretty much what you see in the protopics. I will mention though that when I had them lit and posed with the 800 for photos, I noticed that one of them had lost lighting power to the overhead lights, but the eyes were still glowing softly. I jiggled the wires to see if some were loose, but nothing happened, and then the overhead lights went out on the other one, and its eyes also dimmed. I thought, damn those batteries sure don't last long.
I turned them off and carried them to my shelf and set them up. Wanting to take one more picture, I turned them back on and they lit up fully again. I don't know what that means, but it gave me the impression that it has a battery saving feature if you leave them on. Perhaps they would eventually turn themselves off.
Anyway, here's some quick pics:
Unfortuantely, my 800's eyes were out of juice though I never used the batteries.
By this picture, the lights on one of them had gone down except the eyes.
And now, so had the other.
But here they are in my 1/6 robot museum (I really need to clear off and dedicate a better shelf to robots since loads of 600s will be joining them by the end of the year) and they are both fully functional again. My 800 torso is also in the shot.
I want to get two more of these to line up as four in a row for a real factory feel.
