PT Studios 1:6 FULL METAL T-800 Endoskeleton

[EndoSickness]

So, guys. Been a minute since there was a new thread from me.
Yesterday I read about this through Terminator Files, on Facebook:

The article is live, on TaoBao, but I don't know. Does someone own this, is it worth it, etc?
I'm currently actually thinking of huntin one down, cause it's a true grail and no one does a new 1:6 endo, which is a crying shame!





Thoughts?

Not worth at all

Not worth at all

100% handmade

There's no denying it's an incredible piece but $4k wow, that's really up there.
We really need an update to the older HT figures released pre-2010.

The PT studio endoskeleton is now sold out unfortunately. It's a truly beautiful piece of art though. The proportions are perfect and the detail is exquisite.

$4,000 for a 1/6 figure? You have to be a rich fool to buy this. Not worth it in any universe. James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger themselves better hand deliver this to people who buy it for that much

This looks amazing! That price tag though.. crazy

100% handmade, out of metal. This is not run of the mill ****.

Yeah, I know. But it seems it's worth it, cause it holds poses, everything and looks perfect in anyway!

Then give me run of the mill **** because that’s too damn much for a 1/6 figure. The hot toys 1/4 looks just as good as this and it’s not $4,000.
This better be made of pure gold for that much.

Who cares if it’s 100% handmade. That price is ridiculous bro. Even if I had money to blow I would never pay that much for a 1/6 figure.

No possible way it is worth it for anyone who isn't very wealthy, but looks amazing from what I can tell. Be nice if HT revisited this (full diecast?) at some point. They sadly only released wacky T-800 endo variants after the very earliest figures. Thankfully I have one of those original ones, but it is very lacking.

 

[Mr.NoCredit]

That’s an awful lot of money for a dust collector. Way beautiful looking but it should be priced under half of that at around $1750.00 not 4K. There’s no way it’s worth more than a vehicle which it’s priced at…

 

[abake]

I don't know... people shell out almost a grand for a single custom made head sculpt...
I wouldn't dream of doing it either, but taking that into account, paying 4K for one of 10 hand-made, limited run figures doesn't seem so outlandish.
For people who have that kind of disposable income and are that invested in the character.

 

[Too Much Garlic]

It's a pretty damn impressive figure and the video shows what it took to make it. It has more movable parts than Hot Toys was able to put in theirs and it is way more accurate than even the quarter scale Hot Toys, which just looks ridiculous if you are going for something prop and screen accurate. I would have loved to own one of these, but couldn't justify the price. And.... they were already sold out when I learned of them, so that helped me getting over the price.

If these guys could sell their hard work to Hot Toys, so they can do an updated version, that would be cool. But I kinda doubt Hot Toys would be interested in that.

Still holding out for HT to produce a metal T1 Endo. Long overdue.

If there ever will be a second run, I'm on!
My Genisys is cool for now, but that's it.

I'm really hoping for a second run too. I really regret not jumping on it. The engineering is simply remarkable on the PT endo.

Agreed, the work is super impressive and it's all hand assembled too. Project took more than a whole year to complete I believe
