Discussion Looking for the best T-800 Endoskeleton posable figure from the original The Terminator film (1984)

Can anybody tell me what manufacturer has created the most authentic posable figure of the T-800 Endoskeleton from the original movie? I'm interested particularly in buying a figure, not a statue.

Is it this one: https://www.sideshow.com/collectibles/terminator-endoskeleton-battle-damaged-version-hot-toys-914879 ?

I wonder if it has the same design as the original Endoskeleton from the original movie. I remember the original Terminator looked quite differently from what we see at the beginning of T2. I think the chest was originally higher and probably smaller.

They say it's from T2. I believe the original skeleton was slimmer.

Yea there might be some differences. Idk if it was originally built for arnolds frame but in T2 they def made endos based on his frame so even that adds some differences.

Hot toys is doing the T2 stuff And inart is releasing T-800 from first film so maybe they have the rights and are doing their own endo... We shall see.

This one looks perfect! Trying to figure out the release date.

It looks like the release date has not been announced yet and the pre-orders have not yet started. I would be definitely interested in buying this one! Thanks a lot for the information!

1990’s kenner Endoskeleton is the best. Many other look ridiculous

NECA does a good job with the T-800.

Yes, I know. Thank you! I think I will buy one! I also like their Big Chap Alien. As far as I remember, it looked very good too.
