Old news. Was delayed a few weeks ago I think.
Hot toys just nailed the chrome on their Endo. I just wish other companies would follow suit.
I still wish they'd gone with the twin rifle pose for this. Oh well...
There are no plasma rifles in T1. You don't even get to see an endo in the future scenes in The Terminator. They wouldn't make sense.
Chrome is not that expensive. Not sure where this idea is steming from, especially since this is a $600 piece. Even metallic paints give off "real" chrome appearances and can be done for a very reasonable price. Hell, china even makes knock offs of sideshows 1:1 terminator bust for $200 on eBay, and the chrome on that looks pretty damn good. No excuses for SS other than pure laziness.
Chronicle Collectibles went into detail on it way back when they were producing theirs. Apparently there's a high failure rate when electroplating products which means a lot of product wastage. They tried to replicate this finish using paint, but they were unable to use the paint they used on their prototype on the production pieces in China. Can't remember what the reason was, I just remember it couldn't be done.
Big difference comparing a product produced in high numbers compared to a product with only a 300 edition size. I don't think it's Sideshow being lazy because Chroncile would have done it if they could. They pride themselves on accuracy.
