Up for sale on eBay right now, no real information provided. It's a 'Stage 5' T2 bust. It looks very similar to the new SideShow T2 bust coming out next month which has a very accurate depiction of Arnold's face.
The endoskeleton eye lights up too (battery operated).
Looking at it, it really does look like the new bust being released by SideShow. Maybe it really is? The seller hasn't really provided any more info.
Here's the eBay link:

Several busts were produced for the movie to depict different stages of damage.

That's Jonl's from the Nightowl Forums, HMA and a few other boards. I believe that it is from the Winston mold. A friend used to offer blank resin copies of this bust with or without sculpted hair (it still pops up from time to time on ebay). I would have been all over it at Nightowl if it weren't for the upcoming Sideshow release.

So how does the whole factory paint stuff work? When they make mass quantities of this bust, do the painters get the colour codes and then just try to emulate the original as best as they can? Can each bust end up looking significantly different colour-wise?

Very interesting question. I'd like to know the answer to it too. :thumbs2:
