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

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.

I am not on FB anymore, but is there an official Queen Studios FB group and if so, do they listen to fan requests and feedback in general? I think your Endoarm bust suggestion will gain traction within the community if it isn't already discussed there.

With Prime1's recent FB interactions I read about, it seems they don't care much for feedback.

PCS displayed similar approach with Robocop, but their recent efforts with Ghostbusters seems like they are at least listening this time and making changes.

I have no clue about QS interactions with collectors in general. Hope they will consider an Endo bust instead of the Arnie bust, so there is no need to worry about potential deterioration.

Just looked up on that Alien bust, very cool and unique piece.

Queen will usually give you the generic response. They don’t seem to listen to collector critiques. Never rude about it though. Unlike the F___head Johnny next level “matsumoto” over at Prime 1.

The BH Big Chap is enormous. The Alien itself is over 5 feet from the waist. With the base it is 6 feet. The Alien sits in a 65H x 48W x 36D inch part of the case I think I am going to commission a Weaver bust sometime next year since none of these companies will produce one.

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.

Nah, I got $4k cash and didn't have to ship it. Anyone that sells one of these on ebay is going to get murdered in both fees and end of year taxes if they are in the US.

Secret Compass EBay has this up for almost double at $9000

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know a company called Collectors Ark? I had the bust ordered from them initially back in December of 24. I had to cancel it sadly due to other commitments and they promised that they would refund me the money. I never got my money from them. I am now raising a dispute via my credit card company to get my money back as they still have the bust AND MY MONEY. Buyers beware of this company. So several thousand pound down now. I just hope that I can get my refund from the credit card company as Collectors Ark seem incapable of doing so currently. I have contacted them today to hasten the situation to try to resolve the dispute so I will update the post accordingly.

UPDATE Collectors Ark have got back to me and thanks for that the team for doing so. Seems that it is a mis communication so they are resolving it ASAP for me. So I think all is going to be well.

They are very active on FB and seem legit.

Of course everyone seems legit until refund comes into play and then suddenly they become hermits when it comes to communication.

Some companies take more than few months to complete the refund process and it's normalized.

If one hasn't gotten their refund in one month since they were promised, better to initiate the process with your bank if that's an option, like you have already done. Hope the bank manages to get all your money back.

Thanks mate looks like they can resolve this now as some misunderstanding between the banks. I am getting the bust now from them sorted and they have responded today to sort the problem out and I am happy they have done so. Thank you for doing that today Collectors Ark, my faith has been restored look forward to getting the bust shipped now.

[Spideristic]

Glad to hear that. Hope they come through.

I messaged them on FB 2 hours ago linking to your thread post with the following message.

"This is not a good brand image for Collectors Ark, viewed by members of the biggest Statue Forum on the internet, who have always viewed Collectors Ark as a good company and shared photos/posts from your page on several occasions.

You may want to resolve this at the earliest."

10 mins later they replied with the following.

"Thank you Vivek for the heads up.
We will contact him to resolve it asap. Greatly appreciated."

That is great thank you very much for helping to sort this for both me and for them. Much appreciated indeed and hopefully I can get the bust shipped now.
