[Father_Jack]

Hello I have got the SS endo and i know alot of people out their don't like it but i love mine, anyway i know alot of people have bought the CM endo which at 3 times the price should be alot better than the SS, and i know alot of people have posted pics before but i am going to make a decision to get the CM one and need help of you guys who already have it!

I don't have the SS Endo anymore. I sold it when I ordered the CM Endo, so can't help with the pic.
But this is a picture of my CM Endo with blue filter and "movie grain" added in Photoshop. :D

nice pic cap, looks just like the movie.

[Father_Jack]

Wow Detroit it is alot bigger than the SS endo!

[Gruson]

That is awesome cap. It looks so real.

[DetroitSportsFan]

Looks like it was taken from the film strip, Cap! :thumbs2:

[Exar Kun]

:laugh: I stopped by and I thought it was a picture from the movie;

[cap70]

LOL, thanks guys. :) The light reflections in his acrylic case helped a lot. Only thing enhanced was his red eyes, since it came out too dark in the original picture. Here's the original

What is wrong with the color on the SS Endo's gun?

[robomorph]

The CM aces the SS in every respect - it also manages to look a good deal more threatening IMO.

Except..maybe it's just the angle or perspective, but does anybody else have the impression that the CM Endo has a longer top half of his body than bottom half? The legs below the knee seem proportionately longer on the SS version, making the CM's 'calves' look a little short?

Optical illusion? Or is that the way it is?

[cap70]

Pure optical illusion...

The CM version has “extra” vertebrae making it look taller and slender.

If there's anybody in the UK who wants to check out the Cinemaquette Terminator range, pop into the Collectormania Movie Fair over the next four days in Milton Keynes shopping centre.

LC Toys have all the range in stock and on display on their stand.

I got my first look at a CM T-800 up close and personal today and it is absolutely drop-dead knockout stunning. It really is THAT good. The TX is also a fantastic piece. The T-850, well I have some reservations about that one still (I think it maybe needs the right lighting to look it's best).

Anybody who sees that T-800 will want one. Sorry, but it just blows the SS version clean out of the water. Chalk and cheese.

Also inspected the packaging for the CM stuff and I have to say that it's practically bombproof; real care and thought went into providing the best transit protection possible for their statues. Mail order with confidence! ;)

[Predator]

Until the 1/3 CM Predator. :eplus2:

Lalalalalalalalalalalalala, Im not listening, Lalalalalalalalalalalal!

Nice, but old news. ;)
I cleaned mine the second day after I got it. It's pretty much "pristine" now.

[Exar Kun]

Oh sorry, I did not noticed that. I have not done on mine yet, but I am glad to see it's working well :)

[RAY]

Ah well its been a long time, im back.

Hey you guys cleaning him up isin't that de valuing the item?

[Spizz]

Hey you guys cleaning him up isin't that de valuing the item?

I certainly think so. But to each their own.

[badbot]

I certainly think so. But to each their own.

I'm back too :P I have to say that every CM Endo is unique in its own way, and therefore not one endoskeleton will be 100% the same. Some will be taller others will be darker (in color) etc...

By the way I should be getting my Endo This June!!! I can’t wait to share my pictures with u all.

[RAY]

Dont know about taller? but paint work or the jaw being slightly different to others yes.

I cant wait till this June / July either i should hopefully be getting my dream come true, my life sizes baby!

[El Diablo]

Remember we want plenty of pics of the 1:1 endo when it arrives :thumbs2:

[RAY]

Thanks El, sure will, loads of pics! Cant wait!

[Father_Jack]

Ray my friend nice yo see you back

Can you post some pics of the CM endo and the SS endo together?

Pleaseee

[cap70]

Hey you guys cleaning him up isin't that de valuing the item?
The "paint" that makes the T-800 looking "dirty" it's pretty easy to remove. It's there just like a "make up". Is not even sealed. I'm sure it's pretty easy to re-paint it if I wanted, but I defenetly prefer the clean look. Besides, I'm pretty sure I won't sell it. ;)

How would one go about removing the "dirty paint"?

Hey you guys cleaning him up isin't that de valuing the item?

It's pretty safe to say everyone that buys the T-800 will be keeping it.
:)

[Gruson]

I will be cleaning mine as well.

Can you post other pics of his modified endo?

Cap, can you post more of yours too?

Thanks guys. What is the best way to remove the "dirty" parts?

[Father_Jack]

Yes Cap please post some clean pics im very interested in this

[El Diablo]

Well I for one will be keeping mine 'dirty' I love the 'battle damaged' look (at least on this piece). Plus it`s one less statue to dust :) . And besides, there`s nothing wrong with a bit of filth......... :confused2

Hello I am new and I just bought a SS 1/4 T800 Terminator thanks to you guys :banghead: I wish I could get Cinemaquette Terminator T800 but I cant not enough money :banghead:

Thanx Ray looking forward to some more pics, yea the endo is £850 at FP and the Arnie is a cool £650

I am seriously considering placing an order for the endo soon. I sent an email asking cinemaquette how backed up the wait list is for it and they said aprox. 4 months.

Not bad all things considered.

[Father_Jack]

Ray that picture is class it looks like they are about to go on a murder spree!

[Phart007]

Is the CM Endo poseable like the Sideshow Endo ?????

I had the Sideshow version but was not all that impressed :mad:

But i'm very tempted to jump on the CM wagon, maybe sell some of my Attakus statue's to raise the funds. :inquisiti

[SolidLiquidFox]

But i'm very tempted to jump on the CM wagon, maybe sell some of my Attakus statue's to raise the funds. :inquisiti

I think is worth it. From all the impressions I heard from people like Cap and Ray the CM Endo seems like the best version out there. I know some people don't blink when Sideshow offers a $1,000 item like the Predator. This Endo falls in that same category even more so with the Stan Winston involvement.

From the few friendly emails I been communicating with cinemaquette I feel pretty confident this will be a good purchase.

The CM is NOT poseable.

CM quality is top notch. The T-800 is the best and most accurate endo statue available. Here's a pic of mine next to the SS version.

[Father_Jack]

I really like the CM endo but that pose is just stupid i really don't like it!

[Phart007]

I really like the CM endo but that pose is just stupid i really don't like it!

I totally agree with you, for nearly a £1000 you'd expect a better pose.

At least the Sideshow version was posable, even though it was hard to get a decent pose.

I still can't decide wether to get the T-850 and T-800. I'm getting put off by how hard it is to get hold of the Endoskeleton.

The T-850 and TX and quite easy to get hold of here in the UK.

[RAY]

The CM pose is excellent, i guess its comes down to every ones own opinion, i sort of know what you mean but then again the pose is from one of the scene in the movie as i believe.

SS 4/10 Endo

SS 5/10

CM and SS endo. CM and SS endo...hummmm. We are talking about two different league of product here, therefore they can not be compared. Don't get me wrong Father Jack, I like the SS version a lot, but CM is THE ONE. Like Ray side, the pose of the CM endo. is excellent. Not much word can't discribe the "beauty" of it. Nor any pics. :)

P.S. Ray....u sure u wanna put 3.8K worth of collectible on that tiny desk or just for the shot? :confused2

Ditto. I wanted to clean it, but changed my mind after. I'd like to have one clean, but that would be the one from T1 then, I think.

Can the gun (which I always found oversized and unpretty) be removed from the CM one? Just wondering

[thx217]

Can the gun (which I always found oversized and unpretty) be removed from the CM one? Just wonderingNope. Oversized and unpretty? That's a first.

[gol]

Well the way it's held looks unnatural. Ok, unnatural for a human, and it's supposed to be much stronger. Still, it looks unbalanced. More balanced than the SS one, but IMHO it would be better without.
But maybe that's because I'm not a terminator fanboy, I like the endoskeleton because it's a piece of art, not because it's from the movie. Also there may be better things to put in his hands while still respecting the movie.

Yes, it's a great piece of art.

Unnatural for a human? What human? :inquisiti

I'd like what other things may be better in those hands, please.

[gol]

I'd prefer nothing, or a crowbar-like piece of junk metal, something more vertical.

IMHO if that gun is necessary it would be better to hold it with 2 hands.

The CM Endo is based off the Endos seen in the first scene of T2. No Endos in that scene were empty handed, so it is a mute point...

[Father_Jack]

but yes i agree the Terminator Endo is an amazing work of art when i first watched Terminator at the cinema i was like wow i will have an endo like that one day!

Nothing i have seen not the Predator or Alien comes close to the Terminator!

[gol]

The CM Endo is based off the Endos seen in the first scene of T2

At the same time, the SS one is too from T2, right? Considering the SS & CM are different enough, one of them must be 'right', and the other 'wrong', but is your choice based on the movie?

Personally I go for the best looking, which is the CM one. And I don't care at all if it's accurate. That's why I don't care for the gun neither.


Let's face it, T1 was from another time & another budget. That laughable scene with arnie in front of the mirror removing his eye, you wouldn't even want a bust looking like that today.
So the endoskeleton was great at that time, but not flawless. It may have gotten a little change for T2, but it can't change too much otherwise it's not a terminator anymore. So if something has to be done for it to look better and less faithful, I'm all for it. So, back to the gun, it's not because it's in the movie that it absolutely has to be in his hands. Plus, wanting an endoskeleton 'like in the movie' is different than 'like in the Terminator world'. Surely in that imaginary world, the gun isn't glued to their hands and you can see endo's without one.

I'm not saying the gun looks that bad on the CM one, but IMHO it's ruining the SS one. I would have been tempted by a 1:1 SS one, but with that crap standing pose and the gun, I don't much like it.

[badbot]

The CM Endo is based off the Endos seen in the first scene of T2. No Endos in that scene were empty handed, so it is a mute point...

I spoke to Scott about this and I am under the impression that the CM endo is NOT based on the first scene from T2. There are so many differences, the main ones are that he is not crushing a scull. Other differences are that the CM version has several more vertebras making him look taller and slenderer. The twin pipes going into the back of his head are not exposed like in the movie but rather concealed (This supposedly is an exclusive improvement to the T-850 model). The Jaw got some cosmetic changes (the jaw pistons). There are a lot more cosmetic changes but the ones I mentioned are the main ones that are easy to spot. Scott told me that they based the CM endo of the most current model of the terminator which stands at Stans Winston's studio. This is the model used in T3. The models used in T2 were different. The biggest positive change that I welcomed was the improvement of the hands. If you go back and watch the movie you will notice how bland the T1 endos hands looked like. In conclusion, in my opinion the CM endo is more of a T-850 than T-800. Based on the cosmetic changes that we use to classify each models.

[Trilogy]

gol, you seem to have a real problem with the Plasma rifle, why not go for the SS 1/4 endo. I now its not as good as the CM 1/3 endo, but you wont have to display it with the rifle you dislike so much.

Just a suggestion. ;)

[cap70]

I myself love the Plasma Riffle, and to me ANY Endo looks naked without it. Yes, it's an "old" design, but to me that's the coolness about it. I loved it back then, and still love it now. And not only I have the CM T-800 with the Riffle, but I also have the 1:1 Riffle. ;)
Completes my Terminator collection beautifully.

cap70, you seriously need to have all these pics in a photo gallery. It keeps popping up here and there, giving me a heart attack each time. :buttrock:


I myself love the Plasma Riffle, and to me ANY Endo looks naked without it. Yes, it's an "old" design, but to me that's the coolness about it. I loved it back then, and still love it now. And not only I have the CM T-800 with the Riffle, but I also have the 1:1 Riffle. ;)
Completes my Terminator collection beautifully.

LOL, gaijin, so here's one more I just took of my Preddy corner. :) Things are starting to shape up on the new room, but still lots to do.

Looks great Cap, that new room is going to be awesome when complete.

I also LOVE those blue LEDS. The 1:1 Bust also looks awesome lighted up.
About the costume swatch, it sells for $90 at propstore. But won mine on the bay for $35. Not bad at all. :)

[badbot]

Man, you guys have a really nice terminator theme setting. I wish I had more room at my place so that I can display future CM statues that I plan to buy. The next CM statue that I plan to buy is going to be the Indiana Jones statue. Awesome display guys.

[thx217]

Awesome pics as always guys. So, did anyone ordered this? Ordered my LE few days ago. Love the sculpture on the LE cover. It will be a must have if it's for sale!

Welcome to the forum, btw. :)

Many thanks for the info Cap, and the welcome. I've only been collecting for about 8 months, and came across statueforum yesterday. I must say it is a veritable font of information. I've already ordered my cm T-800 endo and Alien cinemaquette based on the pics and views here. I had preordered the ss 1/2 endo but had an odd feeling about the less than dynamic pose. Seeing the cm endo made me reassess my order. Looking forward to my ss alien warrior bust pitching up soon as well.
Thanks again
See ya around!

Hi
I just found this picture on the internet and this is defenitly the 1:1 endo version that cinemaquette used to copy theres from.
Almost everything is the same as by the 1:3 version that i also own.
look at the chest everything looks the same with the cables and the cillinders . Also the cables to his head are the same.
He also has almost the same battle damaged effect as the 1:3 has got.
I wish that sideshow had made this one then i defenitly wil buy one.

i already own two cinemaquette T800 and i would immediately buy this one if ONLY sideshow made one like this one!! not their 1:1 version absolutely not accurate....

Hope that we will see one like this one in 1:1 scale!! i love this character!:banghead:

That’s an awesome find can u find more pics of this 1:1 model?

[lancelin]

Is it an illusion or this looks very different and better than sideshow 1:1?

Lance

[lello999]

If I´m not wrong, it´s the Stan Winston ende that he had on his SDCC booth in 2002. And yes, it does look great!

Domenik

EDIT: well, I´m not sure they are the same, or perhaps it´s an early stage (at least the legs look quite similar. Or is it a early Icons (I remember Thomas from Hollywood hardware had a very good looking one, but it didn´t have the stand in the background)

Here´s a pic I found (I hope it´s right to post it, if not send me a short note and I´ll remove it)

Why do you say that? Im thinking of getting one - from what Ive seen it looks good...what am I missing?

[badbot]

Why do you say that? Im thinking of getting one - from what Ive seen it looks good...what am I missing?

From what I heard its not that impressive, it’s just doesn’t look real or similar to the current more detailed T-800 that are out in the market. It looks unfinished. That’s just my opinion, but if you like it and can buy it then get it as long as you’re happy with it. I am sure that someone in the future will release an even better more impressive 1:1 model of the T800.:thumbs2:

[Trilogy]

SideShow one is a joke...:redface:

I would have to disagree. I would say the SS 1:1 was pretty impressive myself.

[emeldahay]

What does one do when one wants a 1:1?

The pics and vid I`ve seen here look real good. I know some props can look like crap in person but look ok in pics.

Has anyone documented the differences? I dont need it to be 100% as I doubt anyone will make one full size anytime soon with this already satisfying a large part of the market.

[detale78]

LOL, thanks guys. :) The light reflections in his acrylic case helped a lot. Only thing enhanced was his red eyes, since it came out too dark in the original picture. Here's the original

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/Cacico/cmendo2.jpg

Just wondering where you were bought the acrylic case for your endoskeleton? Mine is on its way and I really want one to protect it. Thanks.

www.casesforcollectibles.com :thumbs2:

[detale78]

Thanks for the reply. Since I do not yet have this piece in hand what are the dimensions for the acrylic case that i would need. For those who have the endoskeleton displayed in one which one did you get. Thanks.

[jet_force_juno]

Thanks for the reply. Since I do not yet have this piece in hand what are the dimensions for the acrylic case that i would need. For those who have the endoskeleton displayed in one which one did you get. Thanks.

You will need a case that is at least 50cm wide, by at least 40cm deep by at least 67cm tall. The extra width is caused by the right gun arm protruding.

50x50x70 is a good size case and will fit any CM so far wth the exception of the Alien. For that you would need 65x65x85.

You're gonna ask me what that is in inches now aint ya?

There is a thread here somewhere started by stretchbaldy which doecuments what size peope have for all their cases (cap70, MK Ultra etc.) But the dimensions I give above suited me best and make my newcases look uniform in size. I cannot post any pics of them right now, as I won't have them in hand for at least another week.

It's coming. My cases are on order from these guys:

http://www.acrylicdisplaycases.co.uk/

pretty good to deal with and gave me a discount for quantity. Yes I am really looking forward to finally getting the collection together.

[jet_force_juno]

One other thing about the cases. Make sure you get a small hole drilled in the base so you have the option of running the LEDS off the mains using the supplied power lead:thumbs2:
