This was first seen in the Cyberdyne break-in scenes being recovered by John Connor, along with the Terminator Brain Chip. This 1:1 scale replica was molded from an original screen used Endoskeleton arm, with the arm measuring 24" tall. The Endoarm has been recreated using a variety of materials, including polystone, fiberglass, and metal, and is triple chrome plated so it is cold to the touch for a real metal feel. The base incorporates built-in blue LED uplighting for enhanced display options, and the piece comes complete with a clear acrylic cover - as it is first seen in the movie! This is a must have for all Terminator fans and collectors! Limited to just 750 individually numbered pieces worldwide. Manufactured by Hollywood Collector's Gallery and distributed by Hollywood Collectibles Group. Hey everyone it's Liam here from Movie Figures - moviefigures.co.uk and today I want to show you one of my favorite prop replicas of all time. It's the t-800 endoarm. Now there have been a few of these over the years. The one I had before was the one from Sideshow Collectibles which was chrome addition very rare. I think there were 500 in the world and they are super rare now in that you will pay a lot of money for them they originally sold about five hundred dollars I think and I had one few years back I sold and sold it for about twelve hundred pounds so nice return on investment. So these limited edition collector pieces when you get one this officially licensed by the manufacturer against the film..um they tend to Be quite good pieces to actually keep. And they will grow in value over time so this one I would expect to grow in value. So there are only 750 of these ones made by Hollywood Collectibles Group. I think it's a better arm than the sideshow one and I'll show you why in a minute I'm so yeah I'm really excited about these. I've only got a few in at moviefigures.co.uk and I was really lucky to get them so if you want one come and have a look. Price wise in the UK they're just under 700 pounds so the retail price in US is 750 dollars to bear in mind when you import into the UK you've got the import fees, the shipping fees... it's a big item. It comes in a big box which I'll show you in a minute but um the first thing I want to do I'm just gonna put this to one side and pop the packaging up just so you can see that as that's one thing I think they did a really good job on is the packaging first and then we'll come back to the arm so I'll just pause this and then we'll grab the packaging and then come back to the arm. OK so let's have a look at the packaging that you get you get a brown outer box, you get a black inner box The black inner box...you probably don't want to have it on display but it does say t2 t-800 endoarm on it. and you then get the polystyrene inner stuff now what I really liked about this was the quality of the packaging because everything was nicely protected. You see some prop replicas where it's a nice pop replica but it gets to you damaged or scratched because it's not been very well packaged this one the arm itself... the hand digits were all separated with bits of foam let's just show you the sort of stuff...so little bits like this... and inbetween the digits little bits like this for the bigger parts and bits like this for even bigger parts. So that was really cool to see. That was all nicely in place on the arm itself. The arm was then wrapped in that bigger tube, the one that you can see here. That was then taped together, put inside the acrylic tube. The acrylic tube was then put inside the bigger box and that had again taped up with these around it to protect it. The box sealed over and taped....That box inside Black box and that black box covered in a polythene bag and put into the brown box and the brown box taped. The really good thing is that this replica comes really well wrapped which is good news cos you can see made in China like so many things nowadays. Shipped to US.From US to us in the UK or wherever anyone was lucky enough to get hold of one. So really big thumbs up to the Hollywood Collectibles Group for doing that because its um a pretty good job. So what I'm gonna do now is have a look and the actual arm itself. So let's talk about the arm then. What is good about this arm, what is bad if anything.
