Hot Toys - QS002 - The Terminator: 1/4th scale Endoskeleton Collectible Figure

[Too Much Garlic]

Where am I changing it?

And if you've done your research, how can you call this a T1?

 

[P.]

Yiou going to threaten to kill me now? Idiot...

"idiot" is a sign there, i guess
hey butters what goes wrong in your head with every HT figure? you're a fan it's ok, but that aggressiveness truly shows that kids like you should be kept away from some stuff

I don't agree

like if your agreement affects reality.

 

[Butters]

Yeah, we're western idiots with too much money and you are the master and know everything and shouldn't be questioned. You are so very civilized and we live in caves...

I have nothing else to say to morons who threaten peoples lives over collectibles. You just get too carried away with this stuff and it clouds your better judgment.

 

[a-dev]

Who threatened anyone?

 

[Butters]

P threatening to kill Joseph Tsang and wishing him dead again in the HT P2 thread recently. WTF??

 

[RIDDICK]

Hot Toys threaten us, a-dev. You know it

 

[a-dev]

Oh yeah....k, can't argue with that.

 

[Butters]

The Devil made me do it...

 

[P.]

just found the ignore feature, the thread became shorter and calmer without butters )))

 

[a-dev]

Its $h!t. It gives you the in-thread option of removing the person from your ignore list and to unblock any given post making it, tbh, too tempting. Not to mention you can still see the posts whenever someone else quotes them.

Really want to dig this figure, I mean the body inaccuracies I can deal with, but I hate the mouth/facial expression. The teeth are long and ugly, and I hate the gaping open mouth. They should copy the likeness from the T2 intro where the endoskull is in flames. That's the look to go for, if you ask me.
Also, I'd much rather have P. trying to get this figure as accurate as possible, than a guy like Butters around, who is simply a mouth with a wallet who feels like we all "owe one" to the manufacturer, just because they're making an endoskeleton. Try to remember, Butters, that this piece will cost hundreds of dollars, and that if they're making new molds to produce this figure, they might as well do it right.
Personally I'd rather buy an item like this just ONE TIME, instead of seeing a "new and improved/more accurate" piece in 2-3 years time, when there's no need for a situation like that in the first place. They have the power to make it accurate, so just do it.
If they fix the mouth, I'll be on board.

This is the endoskeleton that is residing in Japan. T1 legs (maybe T1 skull), with the rest being T2 style.

And this is a T1 arm that sold at auction

Referencing THIS would have made a more accurate figure.

Agreed.

This was a post in another thread that caught my eye - from Devil666 of all people who has made many an hilarious ''nitpickers'' skit

I honestly think these companies should consult people who are actually into this stuff. Most would do it for free. I kinda get the impression that the people who make these collectibles don't know enough about the products and/or don't give a ____ enough about them to actually go all out when it comes to accuracy and attention to detail. They kinda just look at the big picture and focus on the overall look as opposed to doing that AND working out all the minor details that most people on here focus on. I think that's the most frustrating part since it's such an easy AND cost-free fix.

I took this arms also as reference for the arms I constructed jn solidworks, merging several versions and getting one that functions AND keeps the style we love and 2nd:

THIS ENDOSKELETON IS A PIECE OF ART!!!!!


Just beautiful and I second that...it should look this way.

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Fixing the abnormally long legs. They also sit too far out on the socket on the pelvis piece - a general error with the HT pieces. Also trimmed down the area between pelvis and chest, by basically one spine-section. Not perfect but definitely more accurate proportions.

How do you guys rate the Cinemaquette Terminator T-800 Endoskeleton for screen accuracy ?

Proportions of the parts seem better, but it's put together like a train wreck and the pose is nothing to write home about.

 

[Gargoyle67]

The reason I ask was wasn't Stan Winston involved in overseeing production of it ? I thought you could pose it however you like ?
is it a fixed pose then ?

 

[Too Much Garlic]

I believe it is a fixed pose. Have only seen it in that one pose.

The prototype pics are promising, hopefully they take on board some of the great feedback that you guys are laying down and work on improving that T1 likeness.

I'm kind of thankful for the 2013 release date... a bit easier to fatten up the budget for this, the EB endo, EB BD Arnie and HT T1 Arnie.

Too many goodies coming out, exciting times indeed.
