Life-Size Endo bust SS or HCG?

[azurepred]

so which one is better? the Sideshow one or the HCG one? They both look just as good, but im curious to which one is more accurate overall. They both have a very similar price tag as well.............thoughts from those that have both would be great

 

[Cobra King]

sideshows by a mile

I personally like HCG's better. The cpu port on SS's is supersized.

I have both and also prefer the HCG Bust, to me it looks to be more Screen accurate but the sideshow one looks a tad more menacing .

 

[raider]

yep sideshow looks more bad ass

SS scares more people than the HCG. So SS!!!!

In my opinion, SS "looks better" while HCG is more screen accurate!

As I already mentioned, SS has terrible lower teeth, oversized CPU port and damn ugly CPU..It's made to look more menacing and some busts are crosseyed..
I believe they kinda lowered the quality with all these orders and everything..

HCG lacks CPU, eyes stay open ONLY for 10 or so seconds..but has neutral head position (which I prefer)..

In the end, it's an Endo bust, and it comes to individual preference..I wouldn't mind getting any of them..
If I could choose, I'd have to think hard if I'd go for a bit extra features and sleekness, or better screen accuracy..

I Like Prefer the SS bust, it may not be screen accurate but to me looks better!

ICONS rules over the others.

Far inferior base to both named up there, but more classy and skull is the best! No doubt!

 

[Spewer]

It's all about the teeth.

 

[The Chaver]

Siedshows is the best in my book. Damn, I still need to get me one actually!

I think both are excelent pieces and you cant go wrong with either one.
I personally prefer the SS version.

I haven't seen the HCG in person, so I can't comment on that, but the SS version was made for them by Stan Winston Studios. How could it not be perfect?

Can somebody post pics of the HCG version? I can't even find it on their website.

I'm currently stripping the battle-damage paint off of the SS version, and this thing looks unbelievable now.

I have both but they are at different locations, the SS is at the apartment where I live now, and the HCG one at the new house - they never met each other (they will next year when moving to the new house).

I like them both, the SS version is more menacing with the pose and combat paint. I also kind of like the idea of SS CPU Chip even if inaccurate, and don't like the sound on the HCG one, also the lights stay on for just a few seconds (I barely had time to take a photo of the HCG bust).

I prefer the base of the HCG one with the 3-D text on it instead of just simple painted base on SS version. Also I think the teeth on the HCG Endoskull are better, especially the lower jaw teeth.

The conclusion: get both.

I don't know, but it actually isn't

I know it's perfect in appearance...But it isn't perfect-perfect, if you know whta I mean!

Here is HCG:

is it better to get a battle damaged one so the gaps on the teeth don't look so glaring?

I actually really like the battle damaged HCG Skull, however, it's very hard to find..It appears that it's harder to find then Clean SS, and as hard as Icons!
