T2 - T800 Brain Chip Prop Replica

Very nice pictures folks!! I have both of them. I like the HCG more even with the cheaper material. It's more accurate and looks cool with the lights on. In fact I will be selling my Russ one so if anyone here is interested in one u can contact me through PM! :-)

Here some pics of mine...the light effect is the killer!I like the Russ one,too...but like the HCG a little bit more.The Russ is too shiny..the original is matt aluminium like the HCG one.

The HCG Terminator 2 CPU Brain Chip arrived, pretty nice resin piece with light up acrylic tube. There is no comparison with the cool metal and glass Russ Replicas (RB Replicas) version, still I got this one in a good deal. Maybe later a comparison shot of the two.

Comparison between Russ Replicas (RB Replicas) and the Hollywood Collector's Gallery (HCG) Terminator 2 Brain Chip CPU:










HCG Pros:

- blue light-up display tube (really cool)
- black acrylic base
- cool numbered plaque
- swiveling holder
- low price

HCG Cons:

- CPU chip looks cheap with paint spills and weird gold paint
- resin stand
- acrylic tube
- uncomfortable way of turning the LEDs on/off
- no assembly guide (needed at first for the lights)


RB Pros:

- solid aluminum body
- swiveling aluminum holder
- glass tube
- rubber o-rings
- solid brass CPU chip
- cool plaque
- hex key included

RB Cons:

- no lights
- some of he holder parts could have been more rounded
- high price

Since some people said the Russ Replicas (RB Replicas) CPU chip didn't have blue lights, here is an easy thing to do - a cheap puck light, where a good friend of mine simply replaced the 3 white LEDs with blue ones - sorry for the crappy pic, but you get an idea:
