I received my Terminator 1:2 scale, full body a few weeks ago from SS and made by Hollywood Collector's Group.
Man, what an impressive piece. It certainly makes a statement in a room without it taking the space of a full size.
Only one problem though. The eyes are supposed to light up, and they did not. The base at first did not light up either, but after tweaking the battery compartment contacts, the base lit up beautifully with a choice of pulsing lights or steady lights, both modes in blue in color.
I tried everything I could to get the eyes to light up. They simply would not.
So SS is now taking it back. Originally, I was supposed to destroy it for a full refund, but they have decided to take it back instead (they normally will do this if it is international order, and I am located in Canada).
As impressive as it looked, the piece body felt a bit plasticy, but the wires, coils are all metal.
The other thing that concerned me about this piece is that it did not arrive with assembly instructions. Here is why this concerned me: When assembling the arms, they never magnetically pulled together, so they just were kind of put in place, not even a friction fit. I felt like they would fall off.
And then there is the wrench. It comes with a wrench to do something with it. I believe it was to bolt the upper torso to the lower torso. Thing is the wrench does not fit in the hole properly to bolt it.
So an inst manual would have helped to explain these things. I am not sure if mine was just missing or it does not come with one. A bit disappointing when you pay that much for something like this.
Earlier I wrote here I was going to get refunded, but well, you are all not going to believe this:
I was notified by SS I AM getting a REPLACEMENT for my Endo! How?
My LCS, Chinook Hobbies, has been able to warranty it through them. They were able to get it under warranty and give me one of theirs. Outstanding!
This is going to be a great compliment to another great piece, the CM Endo!
BTW, I searched for Terminator 1:2 scale specifically, but did not find one. If there is one and the mods feel it should go under there, then please do so.
