Statue T-800 Endoskeleton Maquette

[67L88Stingray]

Who are you, PR for SSC?

obvious sarcasm isn't obvious I guess.

The “wreckage” extending beyond the base sort of annoys me. Very unnecessary and makes it harder to display in a Besta which is what most folks use. Otherwise awesome piece.

 

[tchalikias]

Perhaps my expectations were kept in line due to the various nitpicks etc., but I have to say I'm in awe of this piece. Quite larger than I expected (looks smaller in videos for some reason). The sculpt is beautiful and the aintwork, details etc are great. The base is indeed huge! The hands are the weakest part of the whole presentation, however I have to say that they look worse in photos than they do in hand. Also: the placement of the two battery compartments is bad, as always. I won't be keeping batteries in mine. Oh and yes, the magnet that holds the top of the skull is insanely strong.

A few photos:

Well, the base is what makes it OK though. Took it away then it’ll be somthing... less.

It’s the same to those $1000 anime statues out there that was attaced to the base that was 10x bigger than them. Had that taken away, I see nothing but a regular $100 anime figure. I’m amazed by the way they marketed it though.

 

[Boboli]

Hmm after seeing your pics maby I’ll get rid of mine, haven’t taken out of the box !
Your pics make this thing look terrible !

 

[xpl0sive]

The jaw on his looks broken. It looks retarded. Otherwise its a decent piece but not worth the money I think. Not many options for a 1/4 endo though.

 

[xpl0sive]

It looks broken man. Contact Sideshow and get that replaced ASAP. The jaw shouldn't be like that.

 

[jaxon]

Are you trying to convince yourself? Take a step back and have a good look. Yes it will be an I inconvenience, don’t settle for 2nd rate!
Missing neck piston also and paint looks messed up on first photo.

 

[tchalikias]

I just realized that one of the 'head hoses' on my endo runs in front of one of the shoulder pistons instead of behind it:



Does anyone know wether these hoses are removable at the head or glued in? Not a terribly noticeable issue, but ideally, I'd like to fix this.

 

[tchalikias]

Ah, yeah, I figured. I'm away from home right now so I can't check myself. Are they glued on both ends? Or is the end hidden inside the torso loose? Can someone check theirs?

Is this from T1? I’ve been exclusively Star Wars until 2 weeks ago. Then got the original Predator Maquette and the new one. Thinking a terminator item between them would be awesome. Thoughts? This will like a little tiny next to them. 28-30” tall.

It is supposed to be from T1, but it is more of a Sideshow mashup. Endo should look small next to a Pred if they are in scale.

 

[Newbieguy]

How deep is it from front to back with that dumb extension out back? This will be sitting on top of a besta cabinet against a wall. Thanks!!

From memory, it was around 35cm/13.7 inches deep with that concrete piece on the base protruding out the back. It's a big base.

Guys I am thinking about getting this guy but I am torn between this and the Hot Toys 1/4 endo. In your opinions which one is better and more accurate?

 

[xpl0sive]

I've had both. This is definitely the more accurate sculpt, but has a dull paint finish. I also hate the base on the Hot Toys version.

The only thing I prefer on the Hot Toys is the chrome finish.

I don't care for this and I wouldn't recommend the HT endo either for the reasons xpl0sive mentioned as well as some have loose joints and can't hold the guns. Wait for something better if you have to have a 1/4, there are just no good 1/4 endos unless you get one customized.

 

[xpl0sive]

Would have to agree unfortunately. The Sideshow Endo is not too bad, but just isn't worth the coin. I don't mind the pose even though a lot of people hate it, for me it falls flat in the paint department. It really only looks good in natural light. If you light it ffrom above with strong lighting like most people light up their stuff, it tends to look washed out.

Its passable, but I'm still waiting for the perfect endo in a reasonable scale. Im still hoping for Prime 1 to deliver a 1:3 endo.
