Queen Studios: Terminator 2 - T-800 Life-Size Bust (2024)

[Masa_yodamorph]

A collector friend of mine and his collector friend asked Queen a question and received an actual response. Looks like we are getting another bust.

I’m hoping for Sarah Connor.

Congrats on the grail acquisition and thanks for sharing that promising update.

I probably should start planning and allocating funds to that from this year.

So far they have done T-800 Battle Damaged, T-1000, and now T-800.

I was thinking Sarah Connor being next is a good possibility. But since they have yet to release the planned T-800 Animatronic Bust, I wonder if that's scheduled for next year instead. Or was that cancelled?

T-1000 in liquid/chrome form could be another contender and maybe they will end up using their existing T-1000 mold like PureArts did with their bust. But I guess the finger posing pose doesn't really work for the liquid form, so it needs to be a different accurate scene/pose depicting that form.

Thank you. I think if we get Sarah Connor we would be very lucky.

I think it will be another T-1000. Perhaps a donut head or frozen T-1000. I think fully liquid form would be a waste. Even an endo would probably be more likely than Sarah. I think Queen has only done one female bust a very long time ago. This would be a very good opportunity to do something that hasn’t been done and do Sarah.

If they do an animatronic bust, they should do Arnie exposing his endo arm scene. And tric out the endo arm. But I think it would more likely be an animatronic endo.

Indeed.

Thought about the Infinity Dark Fate one bcs of the stunning endo-arm and it was longer and easier available in Europe than this one.
ES 600 is double too. If this didn't had its beard i would have ordered and dyed the hair black.
Also think some collectors will soon part with it for avg price.
Also not interested in any silicone T-1000 or Conner bust.

I like this QS T-800 a lot and knew this one should be PO from start but could not find a good/trustworthy deal in Europe.

In general im not that thrilled anymore (and have no fomo) with buying any type of statue.
Smaller scales at $800 - $1600/pcs are too expensive also. And can't buy many of the 1/3 statues and 1/1 busts because of price/space combo.
Collecting a few is already lot of money and commitment, so you have to make the right choices.

Anyhow congrats to ppl who have added this.

Frozen T-1000 has never been done before (at least not officially), so yeah that would be a good option and no silicone would be needed.

Some of their female 1:1 busts were Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman, Alita: Battle Angel, and Rescue Armor Mark 49 (though there was no silicone face there). But yeah Sarah Connor and even Ellen Ripley would be great additions to their female lineup.

Oh man, Arnie with exposed animatronic Endoarm bust would be a dream collectible to have. I would love an animatronic Endo bust too.

Even something like this head bust would be plenty.


But since Queen already teased this back in 2023, I think this animatronic bust might be rolling out first before an Endo one.

I question if these companies actually make the full ES they label on these life size busts. Ain’t no way there’s 600 Dark Fate old man Arnie busts out there lol.

If they do another T-1000, I would like to see another clean version with a spike finger. And really upgrade the likeness just as they did with this Arnie.

As for the animatronic bust. If they actually do one I think it would be an endo just because it would be easier to execute tricing it out. Without worrying on how the silicone will endure over the moving parts on the face. I think they should just do the endo arm scene. Have only the endo arm moveable. It would be glorious enough

I would also love a life size bust of Ripley from Alien to go with my full torso Hansing Prayer Alien bust.

Spec just recently sold Queens 1.5 undersized Alien bust for like 7Gs. Well over retail. The people who buy these life size pieces it makes no difference if the economy sucks or not. There?s no reason why this wouldn?t be higher than the previous bust.

I don't see anything in completed listings. I sold mine for $4k last year off of ebay. I believe I had it on ebay for over $5k. You're right though, there are some crazy rich collectors. There are so many knock offs on ebay right now.

My guess is Endo. That would sale way better than SC.

Ah, damn, I forgot about the animatronic one. You might be right

You sold yours for cheap. Good deal to the guy who bought it for sure. Actually on Spec it’s 8Gs lol. It shows on sold out on eBay.

An endo would definitely sell better. I also think it will be an endo. Queen doesn’t seem to be super detail oriented. It will be interesting to see how accurate they can get it.
