Statue T-800 Endoskeleton Maquette

[tupuxuara]

Why did they change the white color of the teeth in that dirty yellow
? The final version seems to me much more matte than the prototype. Hmmm do not know what to do ...

 

[xpl0sive]

I'm probably in the minority here, but I actually think that looks better than the prototype! The paintjob is quite detailed, looks really cool. I also think the teeth look much better.

Anyone else think that the pose has changed slightly? Seems more hunched over than the prototype. Whilst I'm not a fan (never was a fan of the pose to begin with), I think these pics have pushed me over the edge to order one. Need a 1/4 scale endo in my collection.

Also laughed at the description, referring to this as a T2 endo

It doesn't look bad, I'd probably get it for half of the asking price. But as of right now there's not way in hell I'd pay more than half a G for that.

Fair enough man. I think most statues are overpriced, especially Sideshow's. It's why I'm very selective on what I buy.

I like it, on order, last payment in November. I need it to on my shelf opposite side of the cinemaquette.

I actually think it looks okay. But having just received the mess that is the Wolf LSB. I'd be very worried about that description that mentions plastic. Don't make our mistake and assume it won't be the entire body and head etc...

Wolf bust is listed as 8lbs, whereas this is 15lbs. In saying that, I wouldn't be surprised if most of the figure itself is plastic. There's no way they will get a lot of those crisp, fine details with polystone. Don't think it would bother me though, as long as the paint job is great.

I'm buying this locally anyway, and waiting for a discount, so I'll find out what it's like after release.

Looks good, finish too. Pose ain't horrible.

Looks good, better than the prototype. Going to get it. Still not a fan of the pose, better than Chronicles IMHO.

But that's not saying much.

Haha that's true. The Chronicle piece was horrible.

There's not a lot you can do when it comes to poses for Endoskeletons. All statues released so far have had similar poses, with the exception of the Cinemaquette. I don't mind Sideshow trying something different with the pose, and overall I think this piece came out great.

Looks like they put a little more twist in the upper torso and angled the head down. If only they moved the legs closer in!

 

[It's Sisko]

Those photos aren't at quite the same angle. You can see at the shoulder joints. I don't think the pose has changed at all.

 

[xpl0sive]

It's true, they aren't the same angle, but it was the closest I could find. The comparison was more for the paint job.

In saying that, the pose does look slightly altered to me based on viewing the rest of the pics in the gallery. Just my opinion though.

 

[Patton]

I'm a great fan of this piece, the new photo does look like they have slightly changed the pose for the better and the paint app looks great. I can't wait to get mine

You ordering local or through Sideshow bro?

They made the base blue and forgot to use decent lighting for the pictures

Not sure yet, Sideshow delivery for this is $125 to Australia.
I'll check the Popcultcha price and take a further 10% off with rewards points and work out what's the best price.
You?

teeth look much better (more natural looking), different material used for the hoses, better weathering effects, endo itself seems to have a slight blue tint to it and there is more detail in the base (can see clear differences between the materials such as mud, concrete and metal). You should probably check out the rest of the pictures that show close ups, where you can see these things in better detail. Not sure what you're on about with the lighting, it's fine.

Yeah I saw that. Unfortunately our dollar is crap at the moment, so this works out to $916 AUD delivered from Sideshow. Pop Cultcha has it for $950, but thinking of waiting for their annual 20% off in December, which will knock $190 off the price. You miss out on the exclusive, but I personally couldn't care less about the name plate.
