Once again thanks guys!

I will try and get some pics done but they come out crap so i gotta wait for daylight.

I can't say which one I like the most out of the three CM Terminators, that's a hard choice. Just by looking at them you can see the share quality these CM's have in comparison to others. I've always wanted a large T-800 Endo and the closest I ever got was a vinyl model kit by a company called Argounauts. The sideshow ¼ scale was an good attempt but failed in many ways to deliver some justice to the Endoskeleton. The CM T-800 is a different story, there's nothing out there at the moment that comes close to it, the solid build, design, look, feel and the movie accuracy, this piece is absolutely astonishing, simply the best Endo out there, a dream come true.

I am not a Fan of Alien so i wont be getting that (phew, my poor credit card) but im sure the CM Alien is top quality item that i wouldnt mind having if i could afford it onyl becuse of it being a CM product. Now if it was Aliens, it be a different matter. Would like to see a ROBCOP version and i cant wait to see their PREDATOR. Yes it be awsome if they did Darth Vader too, and stroomtroopers. The list of wants could go on.

Now i cant wait till the life size 1:1 Endo by SS comes out, or the 1/2 scale Endo by Hollywood Collectors Gallery version via SS. Ill be reviewing them too in time.

Hi
i saw your comment about the t-800 from CM.
I think your wrong about the connectionparts of the neck
look at this picture of the original endoskeleton this is the same connection as the T-800 from CM has.

That’s a good example and can not be ignored but the "original" endoskeleton had that connector the way Ray shoed it on his end skull. Watch the first movie. I personally like the way it was because it looks sexy like that. It doesn’t just go in into some hole and that can not be seen.

Stan Winston first T2 Endoskelleton did NOT have the small rod connector. On Judgement Day, Stan used more than one Endo and some had the small connector, other's didn't. Which makes the CM T-800 screen accurate.
By the way, the original Endo from the first movie is NOT the same as the second movie, FYI. The CM is based on the SECOND movie, Judgement Day. There was some modifications, principally in the Skull and in the waist level.

How do you know that the pipes did not have that connector? I don't remember seeing any scenes in T2 were the neck was exposed enough to see that area. On the other hand I do agree with you when you said that there are extra vertebras in the t2 t-800 which makes him look taller and slimmer which were not present in the original endoskeleton. Also the hands are different from T1 and T2. ;)

I have seen it in person, and I have talked/met people that worked on both movies. There's some Endo's that have the small pipes, others don't.
My point is, the CM it's screen accurate.

That’s cool, and I don’t disagree with you on the fact that there are different models, but don’t you think that what was seen on the screen counts towards being the more "original" structure? I understand what you are saying but if that model never hits the screen and never makes an impression to those millions of viewers and fans, then in my opinion it can not count as a "memorable" moment, because it was never displayed.

Btw I am not trying to bash the T-800, I am merely stating my opinion on originality to what was show on "film" from T1 to T2.

What I meant to say is that there was no "naked" T2 T-800 models in the second movie that displayed this change. Yes there was the intro seen were you see the endo crush the scull, but if you focus your attention to it, you can see that the pipes are not going in directly they are curved in like as if it had a "connector", at least that’s what I see.

In the first "battle" scene, they used both variations. In fact, they even trew some "old" Endo's from the first movie in there.

By the way, you seems to nitpick this piece since you first started to post here in this forum. If you don't like it, simply don't buy it. ;)There's no T-800 statue out there that comes close to the accuracy of the CM T-800. So if you are searching for it, sorry to disapoint you, but you won't find anything better than the CM.
Take a look at the other T-800 offerings and you will have a BUNCH of things to nitpick from. ;)

Yes that’s true, if I remember correctly from the "ultimate edition" of the DVD, James used one original endo while the others were pasted in the background with the help of video "magic" (that green screen), but unfortunately the two endos that were in the background were too fuzzy and I cant make out the detail on them.

Let’s just agree that there are two models:) and that’s that. I like some of the new models changes, like the new hand. It looks more futuristic. I also prefer the amount of vertebras on the original endo as opposed to the new one, that’s just my opinion. :D

Dammmmm, fire one, fire two, missile over ahead, duck cover boom Lol wooo CAP your quite touchy when it comes to the T-800, I like that your giving it all the respects it deserves.

The only problem I have is that all the bust’s I have, all the endoskeleton’s I have, and from what I have seen of pictures of the movie of endoskeleton they all have this piece which makes it look better, and the CM version dose not, so why make all these with and then make a CM without? In the end, its no biggy as this endo is one bad ass endo.

Oh as for those two pictures of half arnie and half endo which are from T3 shows a slight difference there too, that one has a small clip which can just been seen. :D

Touchy? Not touchy at all, I just know what I'm talking about and like to be fair in my comparissons. ;)
I have the same Terminator "high end" collectibles you have(less the toys, since I don't collect Terminator toys or statues I don't feel looks good) and the CM T-800 looks better and more accurate than ALL of them. Speak for yourself, I don't think the small rod piece makes it looking better or worse. It's completly insignificant to me. And like I said here, some original Endo's were constructed this way, so no biggie.

Did I say the part was not there, or I said there was more than one endo used in the movie?? So go back and read what I wrote. For a guy that two months ago didn't know there were differences between the first and second Endo(and I explained to you, remember?), you sure are trying to keep up.. :rolleyes2
If this "anal" detail bothers you, hey, have the balls and customize it! It should be pretty easy. ;)

Good. You have in front of you, so you know if there's a gap o not. All I said is that it seemed to have a small gap in the picture. If you can't accept people's opinions, then don't post here. Now chill out, ok? Enjoy your statues and don't loose your sleep over ANAL details. If you start to be anal with everything, you will never be happy with anything.

Does anybody know if the production run has ceased at CM?
