1/2 Scale T-800 Endoskeleton (Agora) US version

skullboy · Mar 10, 2020

So it looks like you guys over in the States are now getting the same 1/2 articulated Endo.
Agora Models have the licence for the USA distribution.
Being half way through the build myself, I can tell you guys are going to love it

Man I wanted this so bad but $140 a month is pretty hefty. I wish it was more like the smaller amount spread over a longer time.

This does seem cool. If I hadn't already gotten the P1, I'd take a hard look at this.

I just want the rifle.

I know nothing about this company or their previous items. Is it supposed to look like a 1:2 toy? The huge rod up the back is quite an eye sore. I couldn't imagine spending more than a couple hundred for this.

This is basically a replica of the Hot Toys 1/4 which as you know is not 200 dollars.
I have that also and trust me if it looks as good as that does when finished I will be well happy.
Here in the UK we are about halfway through, in hand this thing is a beast and with the added diecast parts it is sooo heavy, so no it does not feel or look like a toy.

This is missing certain details like properly sculpted teeth (rather than a bunch of geometric-looking prisms) and a gumline in the chrome where the teeth begin (the one here is a straight cut).
Not only is it inaccurate, but it's plain simplistic, especially at such a large scale. $1500 is a steal for the size, but one expects a bit more care in the sculpt once you cross the $1K mark, regardless of how big it is.

Thats the beauty of building it yourself, people are modding stuff themselves. There is even a dedicated mod site that is selling some cool mods like different looking eyes, teeth etc.
I shaped my own teeth

Most have shaped the gums also but I left mine as not to fussed

Over at modelmodz they have done different kinds of mods that you can purchase, here are just a couple

Those teeth are gigantic.

Yes why I did my own. And when you start messing with the upper gum I think it just exaggerates them also.

thanks for the heads up!!

i was so bummed being in the US and not being able to grab this!

honestly for $1500 approx for a 1/2 size endo that looks as good as this does with electronics for movement and articulated is a great deal in my opinion!! so looking forward to this build!! :clap

You're always gonna have people crying about very minute details. I for one, am very excited for this and it looks amazing in my opinion. Already got my order in!

Not sure, all I know is you guys get 10 issues per month while we only get 4, so it means subscribers to the Agora release will actually be finished 1 month before us.

Just signed up for this, can't wait! I'm stoked to have the opportunity to build it. I considered having my folks in the UK get it for me but realized that it would be a hassle for them and cost a fortune in postage.

I'm probably going to wait until the second box to arrive before I start building it as I plan to weather it a little and not have it looking like it walked straight out of the cyberdyne factory.

Pro Design · May 9, 2020

just got my shipping notice for pack 1! super stoked to get started on this build!!

j97e1 · May 10, 2020

What skill level is it? Meaning, I have no painting/trimming/modding skills. Can it be built by just bolting it together, like say IKEA ? Y'all get what I'm trying to ask?
