Yes this has many mistakes as all sideshow pieces do. Only the customers are able to see all the correct details for some reason. I gave Sideshow too much credit on the cap. They didn't even get that totally correct.

Well that was interesting.
I learned a lot. Thanks guys.

It seems that Sideshow isn't sure what they were going for.
Right under the "Terminator" plaque used to illustrate the licence has a watermark that says "Terminator 2 Judgment Day". However, on other images it simply states "Terminator".

At this point it's simply "A Terminator".
I'd like it much more if it was chrome & had a weapon.

Absolutely facebox, another miss. So, sad that these statues are so terrible these days. Dropping six bills is the norm to buy plastic hallow pieces it seems. I am not saying that this is a failed piece however, it does not look good by any means. But others feel different I am sure. But I am with you face box they need a gun and chrome. It looks dull and like a toy not like a piece of art!!!
 
We all know Sideshow is known for their artistic interpretation instead of accuracy alas. Even at this time and age when you can find anything you want they still push their own inaccurate sculpts out there.

The new Endo statue pose is a bit odd, the accuracy is not there, but still is it an ok statue. Wish someone would make a 1/4 accurate Endo statue, preferably from T1.
 
but it has T2 kneecaps, T2 belly plate (much bigger than T1) and seemingly T2 palms.
and no extra body hoses, though those hoses are always missing on all figures.

T1 doesn't have kneecaps (weird design mistake), and either his abdomen plate is smaller or spine is longer, or both, but it allows you to see more "spine" tower sections than with T2.

and i have to see a big side picture of the neck to see how neck hydraulics are connected to the head.

found it - T1 pistons connected via ball joints, while in T1 they were connected differently.

he also has T2 shoulders. T1 shoulders had a flat hole in them, while on T2 it had more concentrating rounds.

and his forearm bone is straight instead of bent, and doesn't have an cut-out, empty space inside it, which turns it from a cylinder into a segment.
from what pictures i have it's best seen on a stop motion doll.

no, found another good image - of an 1/1 hand.

(don't pay attention to arrows. i measured differences in pistons length between T1 and T2 when i made that pic)

T2 has that part shaped and cut differently - same as this statue.

T1 has a cone-shaped forearm while T2 and this statue has them more cylinder-shaped.

it's also well seen that the forearm pistons - their thick parts - are absolutely impossibly short on the statue.

also he has that terrible flat back. that alone defines sculptor's lack of knowledge of terminators from the start, like somebody talking about honor defines lack of knowledge of predators. :pfft:

speaking about the back, the only clear shot of T1 back i have shows that its middle plate has very different details.

it also shows that those holes in shoulder blade bones and in the back itself should be aligned, because blades move in those holes.
statue's back has back holes much smaller, ending a lot before the shoulder blades start, so this engineering would not be able to make a round back at all. and won't move.

Great analysis. TIL!
 
thanks.
i'm not entirely sure of 100% of that, but 70% are definitely visible.
 
Pffft....anything not from Genisys will be better than something from Genisys. :p
 
This has to be 100 times better than the CC statue, I had it for about 5 days before I sold it, it was utterly disgusting, the build, paint and the materials used, absolutely terrible
 
been sayin since day one that this sculpt is off but it has grown on me over time. its definetly not t1 but it has its benefits for sure. mostly in the chest area since those details just were not there in t1&2. Will probably pick this up an maybe have someone redo at least the arms to make them the correct t1 versions
 
its also more than just the forearm bone thats wrong the t1 endo had different hand and finger joints. more of a ball joint than the nice ones from t2

no ball joints in fingers. just a different construction. they both were too big and round (which all T2 "replicas", statues, kits, toys and 3d models absolutely cannot replicate actually, making the joints cube-shaped)

the good thing T2 added was an ability to spread fingers and a smoother palm base. instead they deleted T1's fingers inside mechanic elements allowing to bend fingers. so both are a design overlook.

skeleton finger joints are supposed to look like ball joints, as to sticks connected via a sphere, so in both movies joints are ok.
