This is a terrific video. Thank you for sharing your Endoskull. I'm also going to be purchasing the exact same model something I've always wanted since I was a child. It's going to cost me $900 in Australia. I will most likely make a video on it to show it off.
Beautiful peice, I hope you have the courage to go 100% clean :) Trust me its worth it if you can make it happen. Just let a professional handle the job.
530 Euro is not over priced, seems about right for the Endoskull. The Godfather bust looks a little too shiny in the pictures, perhaps that will be fixed by the time it's released, I'm more into horror and Sci-Fi collectibles so it's not one I'll be going for anyway. Thanks for the comments,look forward to your reviews (:-)
Good luck with the clean-up, try a small area at the back of the bust first. When you've done the whole thing, buff it up with a dry soft cloth...should look awesome. Look forward to the review Niko.
This thing is absolutly stunning... yesterday i ordered one :D btw: nice review! ... helped me a lot with the decision to order one or not ;) ... finally i did it =)
@kyatos77 The cleaning fluid I used was very mild and did not cause any damage to the chrome. The chemical I used was Avery Surface Cleaner, try ebay. I hope you enjoy your new Endoskull
No this is not made of metal, it is made of polystone and then chromed ti look like metal. This has no moving parts apart from the removable chip in the head.
i paid 550€ ... but not @ ebay... there are still some shops out there (Germany) which have it in stock! Last week i also got one of the T-800 1/4 Schwarzenegger Premium statues for under 200€! This one arrived today and it's absolutly amazing! But i still wait for the arrival of the Skull :(
Any mild cleaner will do but always try a small are around the back first, just in case there is a problem. You could try Amway as the guy above mentioned, although we don't have this in the UK so I'm not sure how well it will work?
this vids been keeping me going lol, going to make my final payment on him next month! cant wait to get him, wanted this for years! going to clean mine up aswell but not all the way.
Thank you very much for your tips, i'm from italy and i'm going to clean my combat version when i'll receive it. i'm little scared about wich cleaner i have to use... please could you tell me material reactions to your cleaner? are the same on polistone and metal too? did you lost some chrome parts while removing the weatering effect? thank you again for your review ;)
Hey Kevin, a blast from the past! I have just acquired one after so many years. Could you run a quick check on yours if the LED still works? Mine‘s dead, i have not even asked the seller to check as the price was so attractive. I wonder know if i could repair it myself…just wondering if its a common issue first. Thanks Andre
Hi Andre, sorry for the late reply. Mine is still working fine, I am not aware of any obvious problems. Have you tried the obvious things like cleaning the battery contacts or maybe spraying Deoxit into the switch?
I recently ordered a supposed chrome version on eBay and it took the seller over a month to ship it out and it arrived completely broken. I can confirm to you that the braided hoses are make of thick plastic tubing covered by braided thread. Fortunately eBay refunded my money and I was able to purchase another one which I am expecting to arrive next week. I will post a video next week hopefully.
@robotonline I've seen a few videos of the combat veteran sideshow bust and there seems to be two different types of teeth? On some, the two middle teeth are joined at the top (almost like a poor casting so they are all one piece), but yours don't seem to be? Yours look like separate teeth?
@JayPenrake done the same cleanes round the base with nail varnish and found some marks i believe they were the chrome ones but painted as combat so i customised mine with skynet decal;s around the base in blk and i have used nail polish non aceton around him to go half and half it looks mean how a real combat job should cheers kev.
Hi Dean I am not sure if I have understood this question correctly but if you are asking me weather I have used some sort of abrasive pad then the answer is no I have only used a simple soft cloth with a gentle cleaning liquid...hope this helps?
Wow.. I just recognized a part they used on the inner part of the right side of the skull, it's from a 1/35 Tamiya WWII 88mm Flak kit. And by saying that, I probably just proved how much of a nerd I am..
awesome review! i just ordered mine two months ago and should receive it sometime in November. i have a question regarding the clean up of the endoskull. what kind of window cleaner did you use for your endoskull, or does it matter? also, awesome collectibles from sideshow!
No, I didn't do anything with the teeth, that's the way it came. I didn't use any pads, just some soft tissue and then some Avery Surface Cleaner. We use this chemical at work, it seemed to do the trick.
cooooooooooooolllll!!! I like the eye turn off slowly like in the movie, if the terminator dead, and very expensive cool figure !! can the mouth open ?
Hello looking at how you clean him up as the T-800 Endoskeleton Version 2.0 Life-Size Figure I now have is even more weathered to be more film accurate but I think maybe to much. Nice video
just curious if this combat version has a power supply or if it is battery operated only? i am considering buying this guy and wanted to know as it seems the toynami's eyes automatically fade away at the end of the theme music. I really wanted one that you could keep the eyes on and not have to worry about chewing through batteries every five minutes! My battle damaged iron man has both options of power supply and batteries. Awesome videos man, keep on collecting!
Haha. Good reply. I'm a big fan of Terminator/Robocop also, i don't know how you afford all of that stuff but if that makes you happy more power to you.
Sorry to hear about your incident, is there anyway you can make a claim through your insurance? I'm not an expert on the paint so unfortunately I can't help you there, you could try contacting Sideshow for advice. Good luck
The teeth on yours are so much better than mine and I have the same model. Did you clean the teeth or scrape any excess molding off somehow? Some of the teeth on mine are stuck together with yellow globs. Also what did you rub it down with? What kind of buffing pads? thanks

Just bought mine off ebay for $600. Cant wait to get it. This video really helped me decide to get it. Thanks.
I'm glad these old videos are still useful. I hope he lives up to your expectations.
This is a terrific video.
Thank you for sharing your Endoskull.

These combat versions clean up really well, glad it turned out OK for you.
Beautiful peice, I hope you have the courage to go 100% clean :) Trust me its worth it if you can make it happen. Just let a professional handle the job.
nice review, thanks!
I like the 50/50 look, great review 20days till I get the T-700 bust which I hear is numbered.
great job man !!
looks fantastic!
Thanks for not playing Terminator music like everyone else! :)
These are really cool no matter who makes them. Even the Chinese knock offs look good.
Yes there are some amazing unlicensed products
Thank you for sharing these. This is just amazing work this company does. You must love Fantasy / Sci Fi to commit to such a purchase.
Awesome, Thats so cool. I really love that!!!!

great video, I would love one of those.
No this is not made of metal, it is made of polystone and then chromed ti look like metal.
This has no moving parts apart from the removable chip in the head.
If you are unsure about using chemicals then just use a dry soft cloth, even this will bring out the shine.
Daaaaamn, that's cool man!!!!
what a smile the terminator has
Ye sure, I hope to do a couple of reviews this weekend.
awesome story! I have been looking everywhere for this!
Thank you ;-)
I think they have a few available on play still.
The Darth Maul was nice but sold out quick.
Cheers.

man i found him too.and think that there was only one in greece.i'll review him soon
Glad the review came in handy, hope you enjoy your new bust.
Did you go for the Combat version?

@MetalAaron Actually I used something a little stronger than window cleaner, it was called "Avery Surface Cleaner"
Try googling it, good luck.
Hi Dean
I am not sure if I have understood this question correctly but if you are asking me weather I have used some sort of abrasive pad then the answer is no I have only used a simple soft cloth with a gentle cleaning liquid...hope this helps?
Thanks Kyle
Wow.. I just recognized a part they used on the inner part of the right side of the skull, it's from a 1/35 Tamiya WWII 88mm Flak kit.
And by saying that, I probably just proved how much of a nerd I am..
cover it with a nice clear coat or the crome will wear off over time. its just its plastic so the crome paint never stays
No the mouth does not open.
Thanks for the comments :-)
Tried to order mine today from sideshow! They said they are on back order until the end of august.
@jam11978 Half and Half is the way to go in my opinion, well done!
They are very similar, I think the Sideshow version has a slightly thinner face as well.
I haven't got a clue what that it, but well spotted ;-)
Yeah it's a pain, I keep it behind glass these days though.
Mate what window cleaner did you use? I'm in the UK too so could get it
@johnnyr2525
Glad you found it helpful, look forward to seeing you video.
awesome review! i just ordered mine two months ago and should receive it sometime in November. i have a question regarding the clean up of the endoskull. what kind of window cleaner did you use for your endoskull, or does it matter? also, awesome collectibles from sideshow!

I didn't use any pads, just some soft tissue and then some Avery Surface Cleaner. We use this chemical at work, it seemed to do the trick.
@LiteracyLabyrinth2 Sorry no but you might find some on Sideshow's website
It's main from polystone with some small metal components.
cooooooooooooolllll!!!
I like the eye turn off slowly like in the movie, if the terminator dead, and very expensive cool figure !!
can the mouth open ?
ye if I had my choice I would have gone for the clean version from the begining had it not been sold out.
Cheers
@B1gBoss100 Sorry to hear about the Endo bust, hopefully the new one will be perfect!
They appear to be some sort of heavy duty LED that I would expect to see on factory machine.
how much amway or any other window cleaner should you use on the endoskull?
dude window cleaners and other stuff are agresive dont be surprised if paint starts to get removed off your figures.
How can I clean it ?
I try to use non acetone material but still no effect !!
they go for about £500 - £700 off ebay
Their worth about 1K now😱
one question: are you planning on getting the endoskeleton or are you happy with just the skull? the skull looks awesome regardless!!!
Hello looking at how you clean him up as the T-800 Endoskeleton Version 2.0 Life-Size Figure I now have is even more weathered to be more film accurate but I think maybe to much. Nice video
yes, the Combat Veteran =)
Thanks
dude how do you get enough money to afford all these amazing figures. nice reviews by the way, subscribed.
you can also turn the hatch in the top of the skull like the 2nd movie
@deanknight333 I take it you ordered direct off Sideshow then, FlexiPay?
@LifeSized101 Hey great news, look forward to seeing the review ;-)
@TheSeventhGuitar Yeah that was a big task by the sound of it, but at least you tried!! :)
It was bought from Sideshow direct.
Thanks, ill probably never get one.. . this is nearly as good as owning ine...... one for da fans..
Thanks...
Thanks, I'm very pleased with him.
just curious if this combat version has a power supply or if it is battery operated only? i am considering buying this guy and wanted to know as it seems the toynami's eyes automatically fade away at the end of the theme music.

@smiff198907 Yep, originally from Wednesbury ;-)
@CollectionReviewer They already do, if you have $6000 to spare :-o
Sorry I don't know, just try a bit to begin with and see how you go.
just clicked on this for fun cuz the darth vader mask was scary but this is also
You are welcome ;-)
I forget the actual model number but its a Sony HD camcorder with hard drive, I picked it up about 12 months ago
No I didn't make, it's from Sideshow.
haha actually it wasn't window cleaner that I used, it was a chemical that we use at work but I just assumed it was the same.
Haha. Good reply. I'm a big fan of Terminator/Robocop also, i don't know how you afford all of that stuff but if that makes you happy more power to you.
I think it's the T-600's that have metal teeth.
Спасибо
Sorry to hear about your incident, is there anyway you can make a claim through your insurance? I'm not an expert on the paint so unfortunately I can't help you there, you could try contacting Sideshow for advice. Good luck
@Adu2Adu All those explosions and not a chipped tooth in site :)
lol...thanks well I try....well I've been trying for 25 years but my bones and biceps are now starting to hurt a little }-)
The teeth on yours are so much better than mine and I have the same model. Did you clean the teeth or scrape any excess molding off somehow? Some of the teeth on mine are stuck together with yellow globs.
Also what did you rub it down with? What kind of buffing pads?
thanks
grazie
@mytommyland Mine is all packed way at the moment but as far as I remember it's just batteries only, no option for a power supply.
@gypsycatcha Glad this video came in handy ;-)
It's funny but I always thought they had metal teeth and not white pearlies.
@JayPenrake OK, what about flossing?
@smiff198907 Sorry I wouldn't have a clue. Is there something wrong with the original eyes?
what is the weight of that beautiful skull model.
might spray mine black
Thousands.....I'm skint!!
