Product Description

T-800 ENDOSKELETON MOVIE MANIACS 5. Once you get below the quasi-human flesh, this is the true form of the Terminator 2 protagonist. This is the endoskeleton of the T-800 cyborg sent back in time by the resistance to protect John Connor -- the future leader of the human revolution -- from a dangerous new shape-shifting cyborg. Though normally covered with human-like flesh, the endoskeleton is what lives beneath the skin. Height: 7 1/8 inches. Articulation: Neck (360 degree motion), shoulders (ball joints), upper arms, elbows (piston activated), forearms, chest (piston activated), waist, hips (piston activated), knees, shins. Total of 17 points of articulation. Accessories: Handheld machine pistol with silencer, pile of skulls, custom poster stand. Ages 13 and up. From McFarlane Toys

This review is from: T2 Terminator (Toy)

When it comes to almost uncanny character likenesses, amazingly-realistic paint finishes, and bizarre accessories, the movie tie-in action figures put out by McFarlane Toys™ are among the elite (if not THE elite) of the 'realistic' toy collectibles market! The T-800 Endoskeleton™ Movie Maniac™ figure is a pretty good showcase of McF's greatest attributes in the realm of collectible toys. This scaled-down bare-bones Terminator™'s likeness to the real deal is incredibly true-to-life! The detailed paint finish shows all the highlights and detail that make this miniature cybernetic killer look (un)believably realistic! The only downside: the chrome metal parts didn't have quite as shiny a finish as I'd prefer. I also got a kick out of the working hip-joint and elbow-joint pistons, adding another nice touch of authenticity to the toy!

There are a few downsides to this collectible, however. Like most McFarlane Toys™ action figures, this one's constructed more for show (either boxed or *GASP!* loose) than it is for play, and isn't very durable. And like a previous reviewer observed, the "Phased Plasma Rifle in the 40-watt range" is pretty dinky in proportion to the figure. Check out the size of the heaters the T-800™s are luggin' around during T2™'s opening "future war" sequence and you'll see what the true scale of the weapon should be...

As for "educational value": other than being an object lesson in mankind's ability to mold plastics into just about any form you can imagine, I don't think this'll help you much as a study aid. Class dismissed!

This review is from: T2 Terminator (Toy)

This thing is almost scary when it comes to looking like the real thing. It is not only the most accurate Endoskeleton for under $15, but the articulation is incredible as well. The shoulders are fully flexible, the elbows bend, the legs and knees bend front and back too. the head moves side to side and the waste can twist too. It can lean up and down, rotate the wrists and ankles, and ALL OF THE PISTONS ACTUALLY MOVE. You'll become fascinated just watching the pistons expand and contract. Balance is great too; it's almost impossible to tip it over. Seeing everything in operation make perfect sense, and can be educational too. If they don't have nightmares first, kids will definatly learn something about pistons. In fact, I wouldn't get this for children who get scared easly or play rough with their toys. Even though I haven't broken mine, it's not very solid, though it isn't flimsy either. It was probably meant to be a collectible.

This review is from: T2 Terminator (Toy)

I just recieved my Terminator Endoskeleton today and I must say that IT ROCKS!!! I was so happy when it came. Delevery was less then a week, I think. But anyway...

The figure is very accurate in detail, I also have a Collectors Classic 12 inch endoskeleton, and this smaller McFarlane version has much more detail and much more articulation. I love how the hips, neckand chest are all so flexibe. And I like the wires in the shoulders, it was a great touch EXCEPT...The wires connecting into the shoulders un-attached very easily, so I will fix that with superglue.
The paint job is very excellent. It's very light too. He's not super-shiny or anything, he's more worn out from being in the post-apocalyptic world for so long. The detail in the paint makes it and impressive pice for display in your room.
The poseability so far is great. I've yet to experiment with other positions for him to be displayed in.
On Accessories, the pile of skulls is fairly cool, it may be good for placing one foot on it for a nice pose. The poster accessorie for these movie maniacs is pretty weak. The card doesn't stay sturdy in the stand. The card should be framed.
The machine gun is a bit thin, and it is a bit difficult for the figure to get a good grip on the gun, because the hands are dull and rubbery, they can't grip the gun well enough. All in all, the figure itself is very awesome in the detail and has great articulation. This is my 3rd action figure order from amazon/toysurus. Expect another order from me soon!
Buy this figure!!
