I think it's better.

As a matter of fact, if these are true endoskeletons, this is what the terminator with flesh would look like:

Why PERS? Did you ever see an Endo moving the eyes on the films?
They have fixed eyes...
have you ever seen the terminator movies? :D
from the first terminator skeleton reveal in 1984 movie every terminator doll moves its eyes left and right, as well as the live actor does. from the first movie they called it "a survelliance camera effect".

Absoluetely AND they needed to be moveable.
Loved the articulation on the 600´s and THIS HIGHLY needs it too!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's a T2 endo referenced from a Sideshow full scale and bust pieces adding in so many of the inaccuracies from those. A shame they didn't go with actual SWS T1 endoskeleton reference.
 
Centurion, You certainly sold me on the headshape with that comparison! :lol

Endosickness, I read your PM, certainly agree with your feelings, I'll respond in more detail after a browse of the forum!

TooMuchGarlic, agreed. I may not see every innaccuracy myself but I am bothered in principle that HT would use another company's existing product as referance rather than the actual film. Just lazy IMO.

Black Magic, I really don't think you had anything to apologise for but bravo nonethless.
 
My apologies if I offended anyone looking forward to this figure. It was not my intention to bash it. I can see why some think I'm mental in thinking that the old 1/6 release is comparable to this new 1/4 release; on closer inspection, I was a bit mental in suggesting it :lol It's just that I'm looking forward to it so much, that I want it to be perfect, and I'm overanalyzing because I want the definitive endo to show for my 4-500 dollars. Hopefully when I see this in hand, I'll eat my own hat.
Welcome to the club! Over 90% of us here overanalyze. :lol :duff
 
this is a really great effort on Hot Toys part but like someone said, they should have used some reference from the actual movie..I think the Cinemaquette version is the best representation of the endo out there so here are some of the parts they missed out...

never mind the red circle on the wires on the back of the neck..upon closer inspection on the HT prototype, they got that right :wink1:

the holes on the shoulder ( easy mod if they don't add it )
spine inside the torso and of course the joints that connects it to the shoulder to get that rotating shoulder movement
the shape of the arms..

on this second pic
you can clearly see the shape of the arms ( same as in any 1/1 scale endo arms )

the top of the thigh's is different shape too..their prototype is a carry over from their original endo

and the lower spine should elongate when you pose him like on the pic...

I'm sure some of you guys remember the custom endo I did a few years back...I was really hoping HT will do most of it :rotfl

so HT..there's no reason why this endo shouldn't be perfect :wink1:
( not calling mine perfect ) :wave

oh and here's a pic of a 1/1 endo from Winston studios

I'm familiar with that :monkey3

I shall study your images when I'm not in work!

Basically, yeah I don't think this figure is everything it could have been considering the advantages its scale ought to have brought, and I'm sure what we see is what we'll get, but nevertheless I'll buy it and no doubt enjoy it.

I certainly will too, like I wrote you, A-Dev, but under the same subject, I just wrote this on HT´s facebook:

"Dear Hot Toys staff.

Although I really like your new chromed quarter scale T-800 Endoskeleton, on which I congratulate you on the PERFECT job of electroplating it and several of my collegues and friends in collecting find it great too...there are several things I/we would like to see included in this great piece.

Especially since you teased it with the words that this endoskeleton would benefit from your experience on previous endos.

Here is a list, which would show great interest in your fans, if those features would be included/ accomplished:

- weathering of the chrome (since it has been portrayed as being active longer and /or dirtied due to battle/shedding the skin, and never fully factory fresh)

- wires & hoses in the lower arms

- removeable CPU cover, shock damping assembly & CPU

- realistic shoulder movement as with the Series 600 endoskeletons

- ball-jointed hip to thigh articulation, in style, also from the T-600 for a better range of movement

-articulated toes (your first 1:6 endoskeletons had it, why not the 1:4)

- PERS (movie reference: / T2 future ware sequence of the T-800 crushing the skull and searching the area, while the war rages in the background, or several documentations where the makers of the movies said that they wanted to achieve a "surveillance camera effect)

I´m sure the final piece will look amazing, but these features would truely show they experience you gathered all through your first endoskeletons, the T-600 and last but not least, the soon to be DX-11.

best regards from germany"

Good stuff Timo. I'm sure you've just given them ideas for their next 1:4 scale endo rather than this one though.

"Dear EndoSickness,

:rotfl:exactly: along with responses from the complaining anti-complaining brigade attacking and slagging Timo off most likely. :rolleyes2
