Endoskull Roll Call...

[INFECDEAD]

I hope someone can help me out. Are these pictures of the Sideshow combat endo? I'm looking to buy it but the neck cables and base look wrong to me in comparison photos I've done on the net and at SS.
Thanks in advance

Nah, that's not the SS version. I think that is the HCG one.

That skull IS the HCG/Toynami one...NOT the SideShow...and they are farily different..

Generally, people more prefer SideShow over any other..Just so you know..

 

[INFECDEAD]

Thanks very much Nacho and Toni for taking your time to verify that for me.
I thought it didn't look right compared to the other pics I've seen. The neck and base are nicer the Sideshow one for mine.
Cheers for you help!

The skull in the picture is the HCG combat edition of the endoskull.

While many prefer the SS over the HCG, i reckon that arnold's skull is more likely to look like the HCG's than SS's

It also comes with some sound effects but does not have the removable CPU chip.

good luck m8

This is true, I actually prefer HCG over SS skull, but that's simply my opinion.
Majority would choose SS, so this is what I would recommend!

HCG skull also doesn't have permanent light up feature, but 10 second animation with the sound. When you pres button, eyes light up and you hear sound that resembles Future War (some kind of these and lots of shooting, plasma rifle shots I think), then eyes simply fade away.

I have posted a bit better pictures of HCG skull few pages before, here, I'll post one again, just so you get the better idea of the skull:

Yup. I have the clean HCG as well. However the one shown by INFECDEAD is the combat edition not the clean version.

 

[Toni Plutonij]

True

It's the same skull with some black color smudged over the chrome, and star-like marks done by "plasma rifle blasts"

 

[tnaig001]

Hey Toni, what did u pick up from secret compass?

 

[INFECDEAD]

Thanks to you all for being so helpful with this. I like the pictures of your clean Endo Toni very nice!
Does the HCG combat skull clean up as nicely and easily as the SS combat version?
I agree too that it would have been much better to have a mode switch for the lights/sound.

 

[tnaig001]

I think the clean HCG is still in stock for US$499?

Just posting this for any of those interested in "cleaning" their combat versions. Looks like a lot of the combat versions are shipping now so here's a shot of the combat that has been cleaned.

Frome left to right:
Clean, Combat, "cleaned" Combat

All you need is some acetone free nail polish remover and a soft rag.

I'm in the process of cleaning the full endo now

 

[Bezzerkerr]

nice comparison shot.

cleaned combat looks great

 

[FelMar]

nice comparison shot.

cleaned combat looks great

thanks B...
yea, the cleaned combat looks even shinier than the original clean.

Here's a front shot-

 

[Bezzerkerr]

wow that's unbelievable.

 

[tnaig001]

If anyone is thinking of getting the combat SS to clean, I would be ideal if you had a chance to view the nameplate on the bust.

Some nameplates have the words badly obscured by the black paint.

yeah, like mine. it IS possible to clean the black paint off without removing the lettering along with it. but u need steady hands and a bit of patience.

check back earlier in this thread for pics and tips on how i did mine...

 

[tnaig001]

The tough part is cleaning the areas around the eyeballs cos you do not want the non-acetone nail polish coming into contact with the acrylic red eyes.

 

[FelMar]

I'd like to thank SilentSurfer for making this possible:

Gives the nameplate a unique/different look from the original.

Just remove the T2 name with nail polish remover and apply the adhesive

 

[jkno]

I like that namelplate from Silent Surfer!
