If you can snap a shot please, it would be awesome.

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

Yes it would but the production run would need to be thousands of units. Right now CC can barely top out at 1k depending on the product, and typically it's 500 or less. One of the reasons Cain/ED are so expensive is because of injection molding and we see how those ended up for sales. Collectors always want better quality but few are willing to pay for it, and the few that are are not always worth producing for because they are not enough to warrant the effort.

They learned well after Robo products used IM. I don't suspect we'll even see it considered again unless it's for a very special piece. This endo was supposed to be that piece that even included some parts metal, but alas envisions rarely make it to life...

Fine by me, specially since I'm oversea.
I can take the wait and receive a nice piece rather than rushing for a defective statue.
Thanks for the info, I remember Paul said he was still checking each one himself in an older video.

Here you go I might pull the shoulder motors off on here still not sure will make painting easier. This was also a defect one with the air bubbles which are fixable but the biggest thing was that the arms where glued in wrong and it wouldn't hold the gun correctly.

Same here, went to fit gun last night and it's actually bending the torso it's so tight.

Should get this painted tomorrow. Going with Trumetal.

Hey Dirt Torpedo, did that Endo head break off, or did it come packaged like that?

It had come unglued in the box. It wasn't broken. The two pipes just slid out of the body and I plucked the neck braces off easily.

The torso came apart with a small tug. The arms put upa fight as they had been pinned in place.

Yeah the arms are held in by a different glue that's much stronger. The other parts just pop off once you hear them up. You took yours apart much further than mine but I good to see how they pop off. Can't wait to see what yours looks like when finished ! I am using alsa chrome for mine
