Hot Toys - QS002 - The Terminator: 1/4th scale Endoskeleton Collectible Figure

[Patriot666]

Since I upped my game a bit and news of the new terminator film broke, I decided to tackle a picture I just did, in the best possible way:

Badass. Repped.

Yeah the day finally came when I had to pay again for my premium membership...

I brought you to it?
Thx, man. Appreciate it.

What is a safe way to pull the clavicle piston pins so I can flip them around the correct way? I foresee easy breakage if I slip and apply too much of the wrong kind of force.

I just got the Special Edition two-gun version off of eBay for $560 shipped from China, and I had an absolute nerdgasm when I opened it up. I cannot believe I didn't jump on this when it was first released. This is the most incredible "action figure" ever made!!! I can't believe all the torso pistons work and the shoulders can actually roll around around up down and front to back. Just amazing!

Congrats! I recently got mine too.
I also flipped the pistons by pulling the pins out with some wire-cutter pliers.
Easy peasy.
My next mod will be to "terminate" that red lava effect.

How did you avoid damaging the finish on the pins? I'd think the pliers would scratch or dent them.

I used "WetNaps" between the pliers and the pins.
One piston did get a little dinged (my 1st attempt), but I flipped it over so that it can't be seen.

Okay, pistons flipped easily enough. Now what's the safest/easiest way to get the teeth out for shortening?

Smash it on the ground. I think you have to pop the jaw off in all seriousness.

I used a dental tool (logical) to loosen the glue. They're just glued in with a pretty brittle glue. Once the grip is broken they just pop right out.

 

[SilentSurfer]

Copy that, Alice. I have just the dental tools for the job. Thanks.

Dude. You can just quit collecting now. Everything you buy from now on is bound to disappoint you. That thing is unbelievable.

First question. What is your Terminator doing?

Second, are you insane not using a stand to keep him up?

 

[Mr. EcKo]

[GuyverCat]

This look like some kind of Kong Fu Post I think......

The dome will prevent it from falling.

 

[SilentSurfer]

Unless it takes the dome with it when it falls over.
