Terminator 2 Endoskeleton action figure Review by Mr. Stinkhead
McFarlane Toys does not disappoint with this member of the Movie Maniacs V line, the incredible T2 action figure. Detailed down to the grime and articulated like yo momma, the endoskeleton stands 6" tall and comes with a display base, mound of skulls and gun.
The only noted discreprency between the film version and McFarlane's is the eyes. If you look at his face, his eyes are a little higher in the socket than in the movie, but I suppose this gives him some 'tude. It's as if the endoskeleton were to star in Fast and Furious 2. But they did include the detail of his little teeth and jaw servos.
Beyond the incredible sculpt work here, the articulation is amazing. His head, shoulders (wing-jointed too!), elbow, forearm, waist, hips and knees all move to get him in the sweetest positions. On top of his sweet articulation, they made the pistons actually move in and out when you move his hips, knees or elbow.
Speaking of sweet positions, better pick one you like and leave it alone. The McFarlane seal of ultra-detail, low durability is applied firmly in this case. Open him up, play with his legs a bit, and then pose him and put him up out of reach. If it were a bit more durable, this would be one of the greatest action figures ever, but alas, it is merely a reasonably priced statue. Look but don't touch. Also check out the T2: endoskeleton head bobber.
This action figure is made by McFarlane Toys, responsible for Spawn, Kiss, and all those professional athlete action figures. This particular figure is getting hard to find at most national retailers. however you can buy him right here:
