Not enough reach on their own site. Cinemaquette adds credibility and expected level of quality to get those orders in.

You know, I was just thinking, in a few years the average person will be able to 3D print stuff like this for a grand or two. Then bring it to their local painter or bodyshop even, in this case, and have them painted up for a few hundred bucks. Can you imagine spending 11k on a statue, then looking back a few years later and saying, what the hell was I thinking??

This is for people with so much money they would never be looking back.

People think 3D printing will never be mainstream or can't be accessible but it will.

A.I. will be able to dye or paint the stuff too.

Their regular stuff sells, just ok, so they thought pandering to billionaires was the next logical step in their evolution? LoL

I make pretty good cash, but even I could never invent a single reason to justify spending that kind of money on this.

Unless I was really really really drunk and added to cart, only to regret it the next morning. Has happened a few times...not proud of it lol

Happy to give some info on the 1:1 Endoskeleton.

When comparing something like this to a 1:2 version, no offense it's not even in the same category. Nor is the 1:1 Terminator 2 Endoskeleton. I should know I produced the masters for the Sideshow 1:1 and helped with the HCG 1:2 version produced years ago.

The T2 Endo is about 150 individual pieces and we were able to combine pieces during production and we got it under 100.

Then each piece is triple chrome pated, copper, nickel then chrome. On the clean versions each one needed to be buffed and body shopped for perfection. If there was a flaw, well we sold those later as battle damaged versions.

The Genysis Endo is a beast, it's nearly 300 individual pieces and we didn't combine or re-sculpt any of the pieces or flood them in any way. That combined with custom machined parts and six different size cable housing and hose. Each one of the Genisys Endos are clean and the plating has to stand up to scrutiny.

The Plating has gone up in cost over the years and again comparing this Endo to a 1:2 is no comparison at all.

Chronicle will offer the piece on Monday and our payment plans will apply to this piece.

Limited to 100 Pieces.

Thanks for the info Paul. Since you've presented this baby last SDCC at your booth, it didn't leave my mind. I just hope you will make it also available for international customers like the first version. Costed some serious money for the airfreight but it was all worth it.

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