Statue T-800 Endoskeleton Maquette

[darb]

also looking at the people that was involved on the sculpt and it most likely a digital sculpt and print

This endo looks great. Every time I see it I feel disappointment in the stupid pose.

We can always wait and see what the T2 endo has to offer

 

[xpl0sive]

The choice to release another 1/4 Scale endo alongside this one is a bit of an odd one. I realise it's from a different movie, but its still a very similar design, so it would need to be pretty different to justify another release so soon.

Has anyone heard when the T2 endo is coming out? As off as this piece is and that pose I do love certain parts mainly the chest details, its also a step up from the original release that was years ago

What's really crazy... someone in charge of the art direction for this piece looked at the preliminary sketches and gave the green light to move forward. LOL!

A case of the blind leading the blind.

 

[Robopredinator]

yea... one was printed by legacy fx from the film files while the other was sculpted and not even an accurate endo.. much less one from T1. makes sense

I was referring to effort not accuracy. Chronicles may be the more accurate endo but what good is accuracy when it's printed from a printer that cannot handle the intricacies of a complex design?

That's like playing a 4K movie on a tube-TV.

How I wish this T1 endo was posed. Dragging one leg:

What I hope to see in a T2 endo...nothing fancy.

that doesnt look bad from the raw print..

The sideshow piece is nice but between the pose and the inaccuracies from it being nowhere close to T1 its like buying your 4k tv but its really just a 1080p... I get where you could see the detail thing but I think its better to wait for some better shots before making a final judgement.

And this proves what? This proves that the printer used to print that sample was the same printer that printed all these orders? Aside from that argument, does it matter if the end product looks like a NECA figure?



Also, what is this talk about "I'll wait for some better in-hand pictures before making a final judgement?" The pictures floating around shows the exact same thing as Chronicle's post-production quality shots. Quit kidding yourselves into thinking it'll magically appear better in person!

 

[P.]

i read people call the it "T1 endoskeleton"? why?
it doesn't have at least one detail present that defines T1 endoskeleton. well may be the fingerjoints on hands, i cannot see them clearly. all the rest is T2 (when it is not just a rude mistake).

oh and those neck hoses have 3 mistakes. 3! nobody can hate a terminator skeleton so much.

lol so wait those essentially look the same lol the pistons have the same soft details the heads are printed at about the same quality, same with the chest from the pic. The Tg endo is by far more complex and detailed which when scaled down will look more busy in a sense. The original endo is a more basic design so reads sharper to the eye. Clearly you have zero clue of what you speak of other than to argue lol.

Sideshow is selling this as a T1 endo but its more just a generic Endo than anything. There are numerous errors that make this not a T1 and several that are wrong for T2 even.

Even then I still love the new additions in details in the chest.

 

[P.]

it still means they just copy different toys, and nobody taking part in making that skeleton even watched the movie for reference or was at least interested in a skeleton.
and i cannot understand why to give a task of making a complex character to a person who is not interested in that character or in doing research.

 

[darb]

totally agree the references are out there and plenty of pics of the real thing from the first film are available both this and the bust are soo off its pathetic. Its like they gave it to someone who just used google to find random pics and combined them.

Sideshow's lines, edges, and intricacies are clearly better defined and detailed.

I agree that the finish is a little dull. It needs to be a little shinier, but people have to stop with the chrome already. It did not look chrome in T1. From a practical stand point, why would Skynet chrome their endos? Chrome doesn't add anything to the product except make it look pretty. There would have been no advantage in it, and surely from a logical machine's point of view, it would have ben totally senseless.

It surely was chrome. Not even vac metalized, but real chrome.
The screen used endo was painted with a high metal content paint so it could conduct enough current to be electroplated in nickel.
The only endo that was not chrome plated on screen was the Genisys.
A request for a chrome plated endo is valid and accurate.

[darb]

That's actually false.... The endo was vac metalized for t1 and 2 the picture you posted are of the vac metalized ones for t1

 

[#Brian]

So when Adam Savage said that he took his endoskeleton to the same guy in California that Chrome plated the original T1 endoskeleton to have that same electroplate process done by the very same guys who did the plating process on the P1 he was lying?
Maybe you can myth bust him. LOL

Skip to exactly 2 minutes in if you don't want to watch the whole thing. Give it a watch and let me know what you think...
