Damn bro such a sick piece. If I had the cash this would definitely be in my collection. Shame about Blitzway “go google a shop” haha. At least you have a functional one now tho but sounds like the whole situation was a nightmare.
Dang it bro. I'm glad you got it straighten out. Congrats on your new addition to your family. Mines is 18 years old now I raise him up in the hobby and now he's surpassed me in comicbook knowledge but he's my only child so I'll let him pass me gladly lol. Much TH-cam success your own your way I knew you could do it.
Thanks for the review Couzzz!!!....."You know it's really uncanny!....you really resemble Miles Dyson!" This arm was destined to be yours in full working order!" I know what you mean! I'm a Terminator fan too....I have most of the Hot Toys 1/6 scale Terminator figures! Bless and stay safe out there!👍👍👍👍👍👍😃😃😃😃😃😃
I've got one also and the little finger also stopped working on mine. I'm now suspect it's a design defect. Maybe if enough owners report it to Blitzway, they'll do something. Even if they don't, it's still a great unique piece.
Hello. I managed to chat on Instagram with one of the Blitzway creators in this arm. Here are excerpts from our exchange. "In order to repair the wires connected to the servo motor, the floor must be opened. If you remove the pp film attached to the floor, you can release the screw to open the floor." "If you succeed in ripping off the floor board, you will be able to check the pcb board. Take care not to break the board, pull out the line of the board, and remove the board bonded with double-sided tape from the main body, so you can loosen all the screws." "If you look closely at the tip of your finger, there is a metal pin stuck horizontally. You can remove the pin by tapping it from the side with a pointed needle or the like. Remove the pin, reset the fixture at the end of the wire, and combine the pin to secure it" "After disassembling the bottom plate, if the plate with the PCD board is also disassembled, you can see the servo motor and wire. The pcb board has six cables connected to the servo motor, each with an id set, so disassemble it carefully in order." "Without a factory jig base, it's a difficult task to do alone. It is recommended that two or more people work together." For the moment I have not yet dared to start this repair. I already think the pins on the fingertips will be difficult to remove to free the cable. The panel under the base looks very well glued. It will be difficult to remove without tearing it to get to the screws. In short, a delicate operation. For now I'm keeping this arm like this. In any case I think that even if you change the cable, it will still be fragile. Too much force on the cables. After all in the movie in the laboratory the arm does not move! ;-) Now if you have had success on your end or if you have any information or a video showing the repair, I am obviously interested. Thanks.
Greetings from the U.K.. I have this also and was wondering if u know how to tighten the arm pistons as mine is loose. It’s the middle piston on the forearm that’s loose. Great vid by the way!
They show you how to do it in the manual but I still found it very confusing. To be honest I'm scared of tampering with this item out of fear of having something else malfunction.
It's a wonderful piece, but mine has unfortunately arrived broken as well. One of the pistons was dislocated right out of the box. My brain chip also does not light up at all. (I inserted it properly) Real shame.
Wow. One of the pistons was also loose on the one I currently own. I just threaded back in and it works fine but we shouldn't have to deal with such problems when paying $1600 for an item. SMH
Broken Endo Arm Resolved: Hey bro 🤘💀 Have one also that had the same issue (middle finger) Not only that, mine completely stopped working. Been a collector for many years, never have made any videos or anything for TH-cam but I'm going to start doing a page with all my stuff/reviews & so on. For now I'll say this: Do not play with it much as it will eventually happen again & or connectors inside will loosen up, the little rods with the little hole that pull the fingers will ware & a hundred different other things. Mine has been all reinforced now but I'm still not going to mess with it. I'll get the video up soon explaining it thanks to my guys who work on things that involve boards, capacitors, mechanisms & all that as they restored something for me & I knew they'd be the shop to take it to. Sure enough, I was right. Stay tuned!
Hi bro , I hope you can help me , I purchased this piece a few months ago from sideshow but it’s a faulty piece . It has stopped working . The connection was very loose from the lead to the connection to the arm . So I thought it might of been the power lead . So I ordered a new one . Unfortunately it’s still not working . Sideshow won’t accept a return of replacement or a refund because simply I threw out the foam from the brain chip box . I’m really stuck on this . This piece cost me so much money . Does anyone know who would take a look at it to fix it ? I’m in Ireland . I have emailed Blitzway but I have not heard anything back . This piece was very poorly made in my opinion . I have had some bars pop out of a finger too , but my main problem is electrical now . It simply won’t work .
Damn dude.. this sounds like a very stressful journey but glad you secured one in the end! Looks so sick
Happy it all turned out well for you! It is a great piece and worth having! You should giving a call the T-800 Shop is right down the street from me😉
Thanks bro. I wish I would have known. LOL

The ghost of Dr. Evil needs one Million dollars
Glad it worked out for you, man. But damn, what a journey lol
Thanks bro. I know right?

Brother thank you so much. You have supported me from day one. I appreciate it so much. Sounds like you've got a great kid.

Appreciate that very much. Thanks for watching.

It really is. I actually sold this about a year ago and I really miss it. Thank you for watching.
Mine has completely stopped working. No movement what so ever. I need answers on how to get inside this thing.

Damn that's not good at all ,but glad you got yourself a working one,awesome piece mate 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching. Me too.

This is one of the reasons I can’t invest in prime one or blitzway you pay over $1k & get things shipped broken
Exactly. It's damn shame. They have to step up the QC.
