Terminator

[King Darkness]

Okay, we have an Aliens thread and we have a Predator thread so it seems only right that we have a Terminator thread!

We have plenty of Terminator stuff to talk about, the recent T-800 & T-1000 from SS. The Endo coming soon from HT, and Sarah from SS.

So I figured I would start a Terminator thread.

To start it off, heres some pix from my Kyle Reese from HTs Terminator line I recieved today.

THIS is the reason why Dave just needs to make an Aliens/Predator/Terminator forum.

[pjam]

Great pics Chase.

I love my Kyle, making a Custom Later Battle 84 T1 Kyle too and

Custom Technoir and Police Station T 800 with light up eye by Hurricane.

AND hunky Artist may be doing a T1 Sarah big hair HS when the T2's come out

[DBoz]

Those are some nice pics. Pretty much the only fig I wanted from Terminator is the Endoskeleton, but those pics have me thinking about trying to pick one of these up.

Dude, you won't regret it, you can still pick one of these up for around 100... then they'll shoot up once the Endo comes out. I got an extra Kyle outfit to do another Resistance soldier AND get this... I am doing the first Ever Custom Franco Columbo T1... already have the 30 cal... I'll have Hurricane mod it and add a laser... Kyle needs to fight him too...

Dekdave is doing a Future John Connor too... from the opening seq of T2. I might too if I can find an appropriate HS...

[dekadentdave]

Still looking for the appropriate HS for Connor.

[figuremasterles]

Well, Chase, in the spirit of your cool new thread...
And until Endos arrive....

Here's my repainted T-1000!

BOOYAH!!!
GIT YOU SOME!

I didn't want a T-1000 for the longest time. Now that I have one, it's like in Hellraiser..."To think I hesitated!" This guy RULES!

I like your outdoorsy photo style Chase! Had fun with it. Might try some more like this.
:D

[-=LoneWolf=-]

AAAAAAAAAHHHH!
Stop posting those AWESOME REESE figures!!!!!!

(In best Mr. T voice)

"You make me want one...REAL BAD!" :D

NO, really, keep posting more! He looks AWESOME!!!

[The ill Jedi]

Chase, you gotta post pics of your T-800, they're the reason I ran off and bought one!

That Kyle Reese is awesome! I think I'm going to get one to go with my T-800 and Hot Toys Endo. Now I just have to get a Sarah Connor Exclusive.

[nash]

Speaking of which, wasn't the HT Endo supposed to ship in March? Any word on that?

[pjam]

HT Endo sometime in May last I heard, next month, in Asia, not US... but Toy Square will have them in North America...

[pjam]

AAAAAAAAAHHHH!

I ordered mine from Cornerstore Comics, they are saying 3rd Quarter.

I ordered mine from Cornerstore Comics, they are saying 3rd Quarter.
I was referring to the ones direct from Asia (toys2), not from SSC which will be very late.

In any case, hopefully the blister exclusive will ship this month as projected.

[dekadentdave]

Since this looks like it's Kyle Reese Day here's one of mine:

http://web.mac.com/dcordes/iWeb/Site/Photos_files/84reese5.jpg

[nash]

Endo was released in HK

[pjam]

That's nice D!

I have my Later Battle Reese almost done, just need to have his trench dyed navy blue, have detailed Nike sneaks too, even the silver swoosh will be added, and the shotgun. Gonna use my HT Hicks FML repaint for his head, wrap his arms with bandages and he'll be ready to go... still need to saw off his shotgun...

Then, figure out how to make pipe bombs, gonna need them for the Endo...

Btw, Hunky's gonna do up a T1 Sarah HS for us! :cool:

[King Darkness]

I love your custom '84 Kyle Dave!!! Lots of Connor in there:rock:rock

As usual Les you have mae a great head sculpt look much better!!!

I love the new hair color and the eyes!!!
http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a10/angremien/T1000a02.jpg

[thundergod]

I hate to be the dissenting voice here, but I'm disappointed with both the T2 figures . The headsculpts are O.k, but the body shape and clothing just look too..well, TOY like! The T-800s jacket is particularly poorly tailored .

[dekadentdave]

You could always upgrade the jacket and pants to the Saturday Toys real leather versions with the threads. I think the Sideshow jacket is fine once you paint the silver zippers like pjam did.

[pjam]

Yeah, tell it to HIM. :lol

http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j88/pjam07/DSC03608.jpg

Seriously, take in the sleeves, add leg sleeves and a zip paint and he kicks ass, of course the Harley, bandolier and HT Weapons set makes him.

[dekadentdave]

http://web.mac.com/dcordes/iWeb/Site/Photos_files/t8001.jpg

[Mudshark]

Dave and Pjam, great pics of the Governator! Who made that Harley, btw? That totally kicks ass!!! :rock :rock :rock

Fyi, Blister supplies two of the best figure shops I know of in Osaka and they're usually the first to get new stuff. No Endo this week, but hopefully it'll be out soon. Got one coming from Sideshow, but I may just have to grab another one to play with while I'm waiting! :D

[-=LoneWolf=-]

Since this looks like it's Kyle Reese Day here's one of mine:

http://web.mac.com/dcordes/iWeb/Site/Photos_files/84reese5.jpg
WHOA!
mind sharing which parts you used for this excellent custom? :D

[dekadentdave]

Thanks. The trenchcoat is from a Connor MacCleod dyed with a mixture of gray and green and a 12 gauge with sawed-off stock and cord tied around his arm and barrel like in the film. The Nikes I found and painted the swoosh white. Pjam says it's silver but I thought it looked white. Anyway, I dig my 20th century Reese. I have him in my "Come with me if you want to live" pose.

[pjam]

Looks great Dave,
Yes those Nike's were black and have a silver swoosh. Batty confirmed it last year, he had the same pair, and provided a screen cap (see Kyle in dressing booth when he put them on). The swoosh is silver with white border. They also have a thin white band around the high tops... I'm gonna use a thin adhesive tape strip for that.

[dekadentdave]

Thought that was from the lighting at night. The daylight shots they look navy blue with white swoosh.

Hard to tell from this shot though. I'll try to find a better screen grab but I already had this one on file:

http://home.mho.com/decadentdave/reese.jpg

[pjam]

Screen grab it from when he was in the dressing booth, close up of the Nike's there. I had this same conversation with Batty last year, like I said he had this same pair back in the 80's.

[-=LoneWolf=-]

thanks dekadentdave

for those having trouble with the T-800's jacket, try twisting a metal wire together until it becomes firm, and stick in under the jacket at the bottom. the material is folded on the inside, so you'll have 'pockets' on the insides of the front. put one edge of the wire into one side, run it all the way round the back and put the other end into the other pocket. you'll need to find a position where it will stay, and then you may bend the wires accordingly and make the jacket stay open.

you can see just a bit of the silver wire i used here...
http://img77.imageshack.us/img77/3582/img2647ni1.th.jpg (http://img77.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img2647ni1.jpg)

voila! my jacket initially came wrapped around his torso covering the belt completely.
http://lrg.zorpia.com/0/2915/18660070.6f82cf.jpg

[dekadentdave]

It's very hard to tell since there are no really good shots of the Nikes. The best daylight shot is when they come out from the bridge. When he's hanging from the fire escape the swoosh looks white. In the phonebooth you can see a reflective silver tape on the velcro strap but I don't really see it on the swoosh. Anyway, it's close enough for rock n' roll.

D,
This pic clearly shows the silver on the swoosh and Batty HAD them, dude wore them. What else do you need? :lol

http://web.mac.com/dcordes/iWeb/Site/Photos_files/nike1.jpg

Do as you wish, mine are gonna be silver swoosh with white borders and the band too...:D

Just messing bro, and thanks for the grabs, Sarah wearing Kyle's Trench, Classic Shot!

Btw, Your Reese looks GREAT as is! :D :cool:

[Darren Carnall]

I have to say as an outsider looking in (I dont have any of these figures, and I havent seen the film in years) those trainers look black with a silver swoosh...... but I'm sure they look cool either way :)

[EVILFACE]

I had a pair as well. They had white soles, silver swoosh and strap.

[MaulFan]

Here's a couple of images I've done.

[jungle jom]

Is that a blue gel on your llghting source or photoshop?

[MaulFan]

Photoshop-esque effects, I use Apple Aperture as my photography software and I found that changing the temperature towards the blue end of the spectrum got a Cameron style lighting effect.

[Wor-Gar]

Here we go again with that head...

Last one sold for what? $300-$400?

It is a great head though...at least in the pictures.

[King Darkness]

Its an awesome sculpting job, but there is no way I could live with myself if I payed that kind of money for just a head.

Awesome 1984 Reese Dave, may have to follow your lead and take a crack at that one. Although I do agree with the others about the black and silver :monkey3

[dekadentdave]

Alright, alright, alright. I'll paint them black and silver. :D

I think the head may be too big for the body though.

[dekadentdave]

Bandolier I made with some elastic webbing. The mini-gun is from the Hot Toys T-800 Battle Damaged.

[DBoz]

I've got a T2 Arnie bash using the Saturday Toys set and the BBI Arnie body builder. I'll post pics once I get the shotgun to go with it. It should be here any day now.

As for the bandoleer, Toy Soldier made on that came with their Special Forces in ACU set if you don't want to make your own. Here's a pic.

[dekadentdave]

I have that bandolier but it's not film accurate. I'm probably gonna sell it. I like my home-made one better.

[pjam]

This one is... :lol

I get my T-1000 tomorrow (I missed the 2nd chance T-800... oh well) and I can't wait.

[Jmlsuperman]

I love this figure, got the gray shirt and the gloves, now he's complete.

[DBoz]

Got the shotgun today. So, here's my quickee throw together of T2 Arnie. I know it is not film accurate, but it is mostly stuff I had laying around. The Saturday Toys outfit is truly stunning. He also has Newline Miniatures boots. No buckle on the side. That's something I've been thinking about adding. Again, sorry about the crappy pics. I have a good camera, but bad lighting and not much space.

[jungle jom]

Who in hell is that?

[EVILFACE]

That is a stunt double.

Pretty good kit bash!!

It is really hard to get black gloves, places like Monkey Depot only carry hot toys hands, so I just looked for people looking to dump Sideshow figures who have gloved hands. I went to a Comic Book Convention near me and someone had a ton of VAN HELSING figures, I bought 2 of them for like $20, and swapped the hands, then just sold the VAN HELSING figures with Arnies hands to some friends. Other figures from Sideshow that should work are the OHMSS Lazenby Bond, Ebonite Interrogator, Human Spike, Nazi Kroenen and Van Helsing, but I wouldn't reccomend using Human Spike or Nazi Kroenen. Good Luck.

The Boromir figure also has black gloves.

[My Lord]

Thanks guys, now I know what to look for.

[Pineapple]

A few fleabay auctions say they have the Hot Toys Endoskeleton in stock! If this is so, then Sideshow will be getting them in very soon.

[Jmlsuperman]

The Boromir figure also has black gloves.


Yeah but do you want to take gloves off a $70 figure? Not I.

The Indestructible Endo was released in HK:

Yep, they are in HK now, don't think there is any dif between indestructible and Endo as we know it, but they are in stock, selling on ebay...

Sideshow won't get these until the second wave is released later this year...

you better get them while theyre still under $130 :cool:

[IrishJedi]

you better get them while theyre still under $130 :cool:

No doubt. These will be quite in demand once they start showing up stateside and people are blown away.

[MaulFan]

You know, the Endoskeleton was on my, I may cancel it for funds if I need them when time for him to ship comes, but after that shot you put up Dave, no way in hell I'm not keeping this order, I never thought I'd say it but I'll even push Star Wars merch (which is my main collecting) aside to get this thing, I love the Terminator films and I can't imagine a better Endo ever coming, and what's best about it is HT is making it, so it'll probably look scale to be the endoskeleton within the SSC T-800, if it had one.

[Pineapple]

Why isnt Sideshow able to get the first wave?

[MaulFan]

Why isnt Sideshow able to get the first wave?

HT probably wants to keep business good for their past U.S. distributors, by not giving it right away to SSC, you could boost business for other disti's who get people buying from them cuz they want it sooner and in cases, cheeper.

[Cocoboloboy]

I ordered mine from Cornerstore for $110. Hope they get'em soon.:drool

[dekadentdave]

Cornerstore gets theirs from Sideshow hence the low cost. You are in for a long wait. I ordered mine from Toy2 who gets them direct from HT so they should be getting them in the next week or so. Gotta have one NOW!!!!

Bastid!

I ordered from DSC so I have to wait for the SSC shipment as well.

[Pineapple]

Oy... since Sideshow is taking so long, I broke down and ordered one from Ebay (HK seller). Will post pics once I get it!

[pjam]

I ordered three of these Masterpieces From DSC, it will come out to about 112 each shipped. I can wait, but if any of you guys NEED ONE NOW I recommend Toy Square, they should have them in next week, figure close to 150 shipped... BUT you get it in April.

[dekadentdave]

Oy... since Sideshow is taking so long, I broke down and ordered one from Ebay (HK seller). Will post pics once I get it!

$35 for overseas shipping from HK... man that sucks! That 1 endo alone will cost you $170. I have mine coming from Toy2 with combined shipping of $22. I have more on order from Sideshow but I can wait for the rest of the army.

[Mudshark]

If they're already out in HK then it won't be long before Blister gets them here in Japan...I know they're gonna be like $150, but after seeing that jaw-dropping preview pic, I just can't wait to get my hands on one! :monkey5 At least I won't have to pay any shipping.
:chew

[nash]

Does anyone know when the Battle Damaged ones were pushed back to? They were supposed to be ready for the BLister Con but apparently wernt?

[figuremasterles]

AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!! Well....ok...:lol

The water must be tested!

I just grabbed that Endo for $135/35sh. We'll see how long it takes to get it.

Just freed up some CCard for more SS later. :D

[Darren Carnall]

I kinda had the same reaction, but was a bit timid to type it out on here lol. It's nice to see, even though that is SSC T-800 head only, that the Endo should be in just the right scale with the SSC figure, going to be very nice having this one. I assume that if you turn the eyes on they'll stay on and it's not one of those have to hold it in switches?

[dekadentdave]

Probably like the BD T-800 had a switch on the back of the neck to turn on or off.

[EVILFACE]

Friggin articulated fingers.

Best 1/6th scale figure ever, period.

NO COMPANY has anything to compete with the detail of this figure.

Isn't that the button right there in the picture above the batteries? I think so.

Absolutely!

[MaulFan]

Isn't that the button right there in the picture above the batteries? I think so.


Yes it is, my question was how it would operate, if like you hold it in and it's light as long as your finger's on the button or like, push it once, eyes on, push it again, eyes off. I'd assume being this sophisticated a toy, it'll stay on without your hand on the button. As for it being the best 1/6 figure ever, I won't argue that it's not, but I do think a big part of that is that it's one of the most intricate and complicated film characters ever, I can't think of anything as complex, so it really has no competition at all, but it is great to see the minute work put into, down to the smallest detail, I just hope those fingers aren't too fragile :(

[nash]

there are pictures with the eyes on and no one holding the switch. i think its safe to say you push the button and the light stays on....

you guys are killing me... you need to STOP posting pics cause I'm really swayed to getting one now!!

ARE YOU ****TING ME!!!!

No, I was too excited and read it wrong.

It's the 1/2 Scale Endo, not the HT 12". :monkey2 :monkey2 :monkey2

Got 2 coming from Toy2 and another 4 coming later this year.

[King Darkness]

Hey dave, what is Toys2 policy on pre-orders.

I have 2 on pre-order from SS, but I really want one sooner from toys2.

How do they handle pre-orders?? Do have to pay upfront, and what if you cancel?

[dekadentdave]

Chase, they charge 10% upfront which is non-refundable if you cancel and the rest when it ships which should be real soon.

Is that HT Terminator-Endoskeleton made out of metal?

Looks awesome!

[EVILFACE]

It is made from grinded up broken Medicom bodies.

[pjam]

I believe it is high grade pure Cyberdyne titanium.

Seriously, it's plastic...

[Mudshark]

i thought i'd read that some parts would be aluminum? hope it's not entirely plastic or i may have to get an Aoshima along w/ the HT.

[lkhoe]

I got it yesterday. The figure is made entirely of plastic. It is very light n feels kinda cheap. But its very articulated compared to Aoshima version n wit light up eyes. My suggestion, get both. I did.

[Darren Carnall]

yeah but what are you going to do with it...have it on display or put it on your kitchen scales? ;)

[dekadentdave]

I got it yesterday. The figure is made entirely of plastic. It is very light n feels kinda cheap. But its very articulated compared to Aoshima version n wit light up eyes. My suggestion, get both. I did.

How about some pictures comparing both of them so we can see just how "cheap" it looks next to the die-cast Aoshima.

I agree, but xenoviper was the one that posted it. This will be the 1:6 figure of the year! After looking at it here, I really want a couple of them now.

[Mudshark]

Ah, yes...I see that now. Sorry xenoviper, must have been all the excitement! :monkey3

If only these guys weren't so expensive... I'd love to get a half dozen of the Endos and a whole dozen of the alien warriors from Aliens and be in diorama heaven!

[Darren Carnall]

there are some excellent photos in here, and boy do I want one of those endos! *drool*

I got myself a SS Arnie head in a trade recently (which I'll be working on.... obviously, lol) so I went and ordered some gear to build myself a Terminator figure. The stuff (most of it) arrived over the last couple of days....

The Biker Leather set that we've seen other people using (which is amazing by the way), a Toy Soldier male body ( i looked through dozens of body types and picked the one that looked the most Arnie and human like in proportions. Most customs use the biggest widest most muscular body that they can... Arnie was nowhere near that huge in T2.... so the right body choice was important for me).... and a pair of leather boots from Hong Kong.

I've got the body together here and I'm really pleased with how it looks, all I need to do now is to work on the head when I get the time... find a shotgun (or other suitable weapon), and find some sunglasses that match those he used in T2. (and maybe T1 eventually as I'll be doing a T1 version of Arnie)

So.... sunglasses... shotgun.... and get my head done then I'll finally have a decent Terminator figure! which is a big thing for me as I had no plans to buy the SS figure (any of them) because I'm trying not to buy things... but getting this head in a trade really spurred me on to buy the gear to make a custom.... and y'know what? I've had so much fun putting him together piece by piece myself :D

[clarenced]

the endo has articulated fingers that are REALLY,REALLY fragile...i got mine yesterday...but before i can grab pics..the damn fourth finger fell out while attempting to get it to hold the plasma rifle!
imma get it changed this afternoon!then more pics to come!
it costs 180 bucks in my currency, so roughly it's be 110 in US currency...cheap, innit!?

[galactiboy]

How structurally sound do you think this figure will be? The reason I ask there are are a lot of very thin pieces of plastic (especially the pistons) and I could see a tumble or even posing wrong doing untold amounts of damage.

I have the Aoshima version it seems like to would be a more stable figure and less prone to breakage. But I do think this figure wins out in the appearance category. It really is amazing and (at least from the photos) looks more brutal than the Aoshima.

[pjam]

Yes, like Robocop, you have to be somewhat careful with some poses... that's what the stands are for, free posing adds risk of course...

[Grange Wallis]

awesome pics, but is it just me, or is the endo not "chromed out" enough?

You can always chrome it out more... I've ordered two of these, one I'm planning to black wash and battle damage it up a bit. I was going chrome that one and if it turned out well do the other one also...

[EVILFACE]

I don't see how any other figure can compare to the HT Endo.

[pjam]

I don't see how any other figure can compare to the HT Endo.

There's a good reason for that EF, no other fig does.

[dekadentdave]

Agreed. There is no comparison. None.

[Darren Carnall]

Oh.
My.
God.

Even the jaw moves??

Must..... have.... this... figure............................

i agree :( :( :( :( :(

so I'm not the only one... imagine what a chrome paint job on that figure would be like???

:google

[-=LoneWolf=-]

i saw it in person and i was rather disappointed with the paint...
anyway, i hope to get my hands on the blister exclusive battle damaged version. we'll see how that one looks like...

[dekadentdave]

Well you could always chrome it like that dude did with the Neca 18" Endo but considering the price I don't have the nerve to paint one of these babies. A $40 Neca with a bad paint job is one thing but a $130 Hot Toys is like a PF... a work of art.

[-=LoneWolf=-]

exactly :google

ha... "that dude" was my endo! (but i had it painted by someone else). yeah, it looks FAR better chromed out... i can only imagine what that hottoys one would look like with the same treatment.

[pjam]

Maybe the second wave, which most of us are getting, will be chromier. HT always leans towards improving their figs in subsequent runs... :monkey1

So, who wants to send the HT Design team an email addressing this now? Should we? Still plenty of time for them to chrome it up for the second wave, just as paint apps issue...

[KamenGuyver]

Battle damaged Endo is Blister exclusive. So in order t make it fair, maybe there will be a "high shine" super chrome version as Sideshow exclusive.

Much as I'd love to have the Endo now, I'm glad I'm getting it through Sideshow and will have to wait because hopefully you guys who are getting it soon can put it through the rigors and test how fragile it is or isn't so I'll know when the time comes to get mine.

Awesome pix, CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY ENDO'S!!!!! I'm so glad I never gave in to the urge to order the SSC PF Endo, this HT Endo is so much better!

"From the HT newsletter: T1-ENDOSKELETON Shipping Sarted... - For those who have preordered the highly articulated T1-Endoskeleton action figure, weíre so happy to tell you that, this item is starting to ship within this week. Check with your seller for his arrival date right now!"

Where do you live? Did you get a heads up it was arriving? Who did you order it from?

[Badvermin]

The new HT endo looks VERY similar to the NECA 18" version. Very cool for 12" collectors. It wont be long until people start repainting them with chrome paint.

Personally I was very happy with the 18" version, other than the paintjob. But a quick repaint fixed that. The 12" Hot Toys version seems to have upgraded the hand and foot articulation.

18" with some slight damage and rust:

got it from a local shop. didn't order it from sideshow if that's what you're wondering. the endo just hit shelves in asia less than a month ago... probably take another month or so from then to reach north america

from afar, they do look similar. but once you've held the HT figure, you'd forget about neca. man, each finger has 4 points of articulation...

i recently saw an ebay seller selling a pair of those cables which are supposedly stainless as opposed to HT ones. they're meant to replace the HT cables. they went for $10 but i don't see them around anymore. keep a look out, they may come back

Personally, I think these latest pics show that in the right lighting, this thing looks great with no need to add any more chrome or shine to it, i think it looks great just as it is, can't wait for it to come.

[dekadentdave]

Yeah the finish looks screen accurate. You don't want it too chromed. Mirrored chrome would be too much. It's more of a steel chrome finish.

[King Darkness]

By the way, Mine shipped from HK last week.
Due any day now! :chew

And yes...STEEL! Not chrome. Never liked those old chrome styrene models that were nice, but small, 1/9th I think, back in the day. A buddy had one. I liked it, but I met a guy at a con in LA back in 1995, that painted a nice resin cast 1/1 Terminator head, and he had used some kind of graphite paint, and polished and layered it a lot, polished the hell out of it...buffed it a lot, and that thing was SMOKIN' BADA$$! MUCH better than any chrome ones. I feel I have to always dirty up anything that's chromed.

But anyway, I bet a nice wash/wipe of steel and black on the whole thing, and then a light drybrush of steel or silver, just to hit high areas, will make it look metal enough. It actually looks pretty good. It's just too uniform a silver. That's what makes it look plastic. You can push the metal effects using darks and pure metal colors, and they look amazingly more metallic, without all that expensive chroming.

Or not! :lol

Just an idea.
I'll know more when the little bugger's on his base, standing in front of me...eyes all aglow....
This is gonna ROCK!

I noticed that the cabling on the endo is the same coiling metal cable used on the Predator helmets and has a tendancy to rust. Does anyone know where to buy that kind of cabling should it need to be replaced?
found it

Awesome. Thank you.

So what is the endo made off? Is it fragile? I ordered 2 of those, but 3 would be better... But there is so much other cool stuff coming from SSC... !

Almost all plastic, and ppl reported it is fragile.

[Pineapple]

Just got my Endoskeleton from that guy on Ebay (shipped from HK).

Theres an issue with the batteries being very loose inside the compartment, which makes weak contact points. So if you notice your endo's eyes dont light up or dont stay on, just wedge a piece of paper in the compartment to push the batteries againts the contact points.

Yes, he is quite fragile. The fingers are the most fragile, followed by the limited movement on the wrists, angles and neck area.

[King Darkness]

Just placed my order with Toys2:rock

Bad Ass!!! :rock :rock :rock

[dekadentdave]

Those pics are awesome! Funny though how SS's T-800 Arnold is taller than the Endo when actually they should be of equal height. That's what happens when you have two different companies making them. I'm tempted now to just switch the head over to a Hot Toys NGL body for consistency.

[KamenGuyver]

I think HT Endo and SS T800 are perfect in scale. Don't forget Endo doesn't wear boots. If you let HT endo wear boots and give endo some hair, both of them should be about the same height.

[King Darkness]

Those are AWESOME pix!!!! I love the one with Robo all busted up:lol


And I think they are proportioned just right, like Kamen said Arnold has boots, hair, and flesh. So I would think he would be a bit larger than just and endo.

Either way they look awesome together!!!

[Darth Madden]

And I think they are proportioned just right, like Kamen said Arnold has boots, hair, and flesh. So I would think he would be a bit larger than just and endo.

I agree... they look perfect in scale together. Now I need to get them both though... crap. :D

[Sith Lord 0498]

I too agree for the same reasons already mentioned. Plus, the Arnold T-800 also has massive muscle tissue over the Endoskeleton, so that adds some mass and a little height as well.

[Darth Madden]

I guess after looking at it the T-800 arms are a little shorter than the Endo and it should be the other way around but if you bend them a little it shouldn't be noticable. They still look awsome together.

[Alice Adrenochrome]

I started to question the purchase of the Arnold T-800, but seeing him together with the Endo... SUPER! Hopefully SSC starts shipping the Endo's pretty soon!

Awesome pix LW! I might have to consider buying a Reese now after all!

Well, if you account for the heels that Arnold T-800 is wearing, plus a little flesh between his metal feet and shoes, and the hair...it's about right. Close on the arms too.
It works for me.

Truly awesome photos! I laughed enough when Endo beat Robo, but the next shot of Reese with his hands up like "Whoa nelly!" has me in stitches! :lol
Great stuff!

[hurricane]

By the way, Mine shipped from HK last week.
Due any day now! :chew

And yes...STEEL! Not chrome. Never liked those old chrome styrene models that were nice, but small, 1/9th I think, back in the day. A buddy had one. I liked it, but I met a guy at a con in LA back in 1995, that painted a nice resin cast 1/1 Terminator head, and he had used some kind of graphite paint, and polished and layered it a lot, polished the hell out of it...buffed it a lot, and that thing was SMOKIN' BADA$$!

IN A WORD....

AWESOME!

I had to fix his right pinkie finger, they are brittle gang! But, he's ok. And packin' heat! And, I don't think his legs bend out wider from the hip...

But still....

WOW!

Get one now!

[BrooklynWolf X]

awesome display les.

one question:

the T3 arnold...i recognize the clothing from popsalute...is that the same head though?

[screamingmetal]

Every new pic I see of the Endo makes me want to buy one right now from Toy Square! :monkey5
Awesome pics guys!
But it's best to wait and use the money for Emma.

[Rob]

YA MEAN ON THIS!!!!!

Cool custom T1 Arnold!:cool: Did you custom make the head? I recognize the accessories and clothes from the Hot Toys BDed T-800.;)

[dekadentdave]

That's the Frontline headsculpt.

[Darth Madden]

Everybody who has posted a pic of the endoskeleton... I HATE YOU. Because of all this I had to order one... DAMN YOU ALL. :D :D

Les..... great Terminator collection you have there, looks absolutely fabulous!

oh... and to all the people who are posting pictures like this...?

http://www.hk501st.com/temp/image/image2018.jpg

I HATE YOU ALL!!!

:rotfl :rotfl :rotfl

That battle damaged one just looks so good. Like...really... REALLY good! And I hate anyone who gets one, lol

also my Arnie head has now been cast so I can finally start working on him in my spare time (do I still get any of that??). First up will be a standard T2 resculpt, then I think probably a T1 and if I'm feeling adventurous at some point maybe a battle damaged T2 and T versions. Should be fun to do.......... should being the operative word here :lol

http://www.havingfun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/photos/terminator/IMG_0001%20(Large).JPG

[Darren Carnall]

another thought I've just had, I've been searching for a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses (for Arnie, not me :lol ) that he wears in T2.... the ones on that come with the figure are too big, the one's you can buy from 1/6 companies are never the right shape.... and... well I didn't get any with the head I got anyway, lol

Why don't 1/6 companies make Ray Ban sunglasses? I would have thought they'd be really popular. I might end up having to make my own....urgh lol

[BrooklynWolf X]

dude, i'm positive you'll do it like this *snaps fingers*

easy as pie...


it is right? hehe.

[King Darkness]

Hell yeah Les, you have an awesome Terminator collection:rock!!!

And I cant wait to see pix of yours Nash. I wish i could have gotten a battle damaged one.

I hope to have mine by next week from Toys2.

Old set of terminators from way back ...

[figuremasterles]

This is all great!
It's a Terminator Revolution going on!

Anyway, since some have postulated anyway, my figures recipes are easy...most you guys have figured out...

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a10/angremien/HTEndo002.jpg

T1 is a Soldiers of the World body (Great chest and good posable arms!), the Frontline head, HT T1 gear and glasses, a dragon gun.

T2 is a reworked big boy body, SS attire, repainted belt (they weren't that light brown), HT bag, minigun & belts, Van Helsing hands, painted Dragon bandelero, and DID grenades, Hot Toys grenade ploop gun.

T3 is standard SS body (chest looks more like Arnolds in T3 to me), a head I got on Ebay (don't know the sculptor, but it is a dead on OLD/almost Governator Arnold), and the rest is Popsalute clothes (Thanks Amarcord!)

Endo is...HELL ON WHEELS! Get you some! :rock

T2 T1000, SS...repainted...

Coming soon:
SS Sarah,
Custom 1984 Reese
Custom TX (Looking for a Popsalute...REAL BAD! :D )

Might take a stab at a custom John Connor....

And that will complete my Terminator collection.

I really HATE you Les, but not as much as I love your talent!! :D

[KamenGuyver]

Les, Your T3 head I believe is a cast from McFarlane T3 talking Arnie. I just got mine from ebay....:D It is a very very nice sculpt and outstanding likeness. Popsoulute T3 head is also a cast from McFarlane T3 Arnie but it is way too small.

[King Darkness]

My Endo just shipped!!!:rock

God I cant wait to get mine! nice pic xeno

Great pix xeno!!

Damn it, I hope mine gets here by next week.

[Darth Madden]

Dang that is sweet. I am a bit new to this guy... where did the battle damage one come from? Was he available for order?
