Blitzway: The Terminator - T-800 Endoskeleton Skull Life-Size Bust - Endoskull

[Vader]

there are a lot of endo heads cast from the original. its nice that this one is diffrent.

The original sideshow lifesize is cast from the original too.

I need a change. terminator collectors will be happy to have a variant from an original casting. how many of those can you have. mind you, i have quite a few.

if a person could only get one, i'd take the sideshow clean version (stan winston one).

Agreed. I think this is partly why I'm so drawn to this new bust from Blitzway. It manages to encapsulate the menace of the T1 endo, but somehow has a look that's new and fresh.

Oddly enough, seeing the in-hand reviews of the Blitzway/P1 1/3 endo today has further enhanced my want for this bust. I originally had the 1/3 endo pre-ordered, but backed out as the price seemed too much of a commitment at the time. I've sorta been regretting that decision for months, and when this bust popped up I decided I'd rather commit the funds to it, and not chance missing out.

I was still a little bummed I chose to give up on the 1/3, but after seeing how it's turned out (it does looks fantastic), it really became clear to me that this bust is what I'd want to display more. I think it looks "cooler" and will have a bigger impact in my collection. Assuming the final product doesn't deviate too much from the solicitation pics lol

Sorry for the ramble, I guess I'm rationalizing my decision-making as I type haha

i think the bust will be more impressive. i have the CM endo. the new blitzway has a similar look. but not quite as nice.

That CM statue holds up incredibly well, especially considering it is now 20 years old! I wish I was aware these things existed back then, as I would have snapped one up for sure!

I'll continue getting by with my cheap 1/4 NECA custom for now, until my Blitzway bust steals the show

Who told you that?

Hey guys, I ended up buying the $150 preorder via blitzway a few hours after it initially dropped.

Its my first time every buying a piece new, so I dont know what to expect. I emailed blitzway but they havent gotten back to me yet.

I got this because well, it caught me at the right time of being obsessed lol (currently working on some high detail T800 endoskeleton 1:1 prints I've modified)

Ill add this with my other items

SS T600 Bust, SS T700 endoskull, CC T800 endoskull, HCG endoskull, SS Endoskull, SS Arm, HCG 1/2 Endoskull... so i had to lol.

Jumped into this hobby about 8 months ago with the desire to just make a learn 3d printing and produce a nice print lol, oops.

He is right! Sideshow was never accurate. It is more of an idealised version of the skull.

oh, and I recently got the pure arts BD endoskull... regrettably ( especially since I just got the Blitzway ) , definitely impulse buy to add the the rest, but hate the underbite - but its neat and different, whatever. lol.. but between this and my graveyard of high detailed endoskulls/endoskeletons ( they're really nice)

its a sudden hobby that was not in my financial plans of - but its so cool.

Again, the stylized blitzway doesnt bug me since its menacing and high detailed. Hope the product looks even better in person ( like their 1/3) , that'll be really sweet.
