Damn that foot snap was unexpected!

Thanks for the thorough and timely review. I'm sure this will help many make an informed decision! Keep up the good work. Also, I love the Facebook group!

Bro just subscribed and 😂the “Don’t Tell My Wife facebook group is bloody hilarious because i’m always sneaking action figure purchases all the time to avoid unnecessary arguments 😅

Neca's are $20 and not this fragile. Glad I watched this. Great and honest review.

Man!! That foot coming off was scary

The only good way to do this endo skeleton is for there to be diecast joints - just because of the design, structure of the figure itself. NECA did a good job making it back in the day. Mafex did a decent job for x2 the price.

I had one in my shopping cart ready to purchase, but I thought let me check reviews before I buy it. When I saw your review about the foot snap sadly, I did not purchase it. Many thanks for your review.

KD - great review as always brother - good reveal on how fragile these can be!! Hope they work it out so it’s not as breakable!!! Still an awesome figure!!

You always come through first. Cannot wait to get my hands on it!

The guns are called Phased Plasma Rifle. Great review as always!

I knew that this figure would not work. I didn't bother to pre-order. I'm hoping for a MAFEX T-1000.

Thanks for the thorough review! Was hoping to be blown away by this figure but it's just ok. The breakage/fragility is frustrating and I expected it to be more chrome. Still keeping my order but lowered my expectations.

The same happened to my copy, the left ankle was broken out of the box; it looked like it was broken at the factory and they glued it in or something. What I find disturbing is that it turns out there is a swivel at the shin right under the knee, it's almost as if it was designed with the expectation that the ankle would break at some point, and that people would have to end up gluing the foot back (which I have, myself), and the swivel would still allow you to turn the foot if that happened to you. Also, if you look closely at the pictures on the back of the box, the ankles on the photos look like both of them have been broken and glued back (the pegs aren't as visible). So either it was photoshopped on the back, or it was designed with this in mind as a contingency which is upsetting on its own.

Thanks for the early review! I'll be grabbing one for sure; especially knowing what to be careful with. My fave Endoskeleton has always been Aoshima's version. It needs a paint wash, but it looks almost as good as this. I was wondering about those ankle joints at 4:50... I'm guessing they'll need initial massaging to ensure the joints aren't stuck up in the shins 😅 Thanks again.

Count me among those who chose to pass on this after seeing two pieces break on you. My friend still ordered one, so I'll be curious how that turns out. What I'd really love to see is ThreeZero tackle the Endoskeleton in their DLX line!

Shame there's no butterfly, considering the design was made to show that one exists in-universe where those big cutouts on either side of the chestplate are. But I guess from an engineering standpoint, getting all those tiny pistons to actually work at this scale would be cost prohibitive, not to mention it'd make the figure even more fragile than it already is. Great review, as usual.

I had two on order, and I ended up cancelling because of the price. I'm so happy that I passed. Thank you for the thorough review!

GUN is-- M95A1 40 Watt Phased Plasma Riffle gun. Great review. As soon as I get the $. Im ordering it. 👍

Man I was just on your channel last night searching for this review. Then I wake up to this surprise! Thank you! Have you seen the robocop vs terminator endoskeleton by Neca?

I was really surprised at the scale difference between these and the neca endos. I just assumed Necas were 1/12th scale. Overall I’m really liking the proportions and the details. I’m not a huge fan of the fingers… they are too thick and look more like T1’s, but I guess skinnier fingers would be more fragile so I can live it. I’ll probably paint the eyes on mine a brighter red. So far my figure hasn’t lost a foot or anything else, but I’m using the stand and being very careful. Thanks for the video review!

Think I'll definitely treat this figure more like an articulated statue if I end up purchasing. It looks incredible despite its flaws. Great review as usual 👏

Wow! Crazy with the foot. Will they do an exchange?

I pre-ordered this guy months ago, and just paid amiami for it this morning. Fingers crossed I get one of the good ones like your 2nd one. I hate dealing with exchanges from Japan.

It kinda looked like the foot was broken and glued at the factory.

Whered you get that little building dio in the beginning ?

Thanks for the review. For the cost, I am disappointed, the color for the start has to be chrome and not this metallic. QC for mafex was always expected bad, so I kind of was anticipating these issues which you mentioned. Are there any diecast parts or its just plastic?

The neca figure still holds the test of time lol

by the way, you’re not the only one where the foot broke off I had the foot break off literally after I watched your video and I was being extremely gentle trying to pose it. I got mine from Hobby Link, Japan. Hopefully they’ll send me a replacement, but usually they’re not too helpful, if it’s overseas

Wow!!!!

Still excited for this figure! I have the McFarlane Movie Maniacs version, all the NECA versions and they ALL suffer from some sort of limited articulation. It's a skeleton...with a lot more intricate detail than a human skeleton so not suprised it may have some fragile areas. Breakage though is a bummer and I hope you can exchange it.

Dang sorry to see the foot fall off. I honestly was worried about how fragile it looked especially with how thin Mafex goes with their joints. I love Mafex but I'm going to pass on this one. Plus the price for him in the US is $140 is crazy high.

so i guess you take back the "incredible engineering" compliment after all the shortcomings? Lol!

Great review! I can get over the foot break but is the head sculpt likeness up to par with the Hot Toys and the film?

My friend here in Japan got it a couple of days ago, tried changing the hand, and it broke. Seems super fragile.

I was debating if I should get this or shf Kaido as my last figure for this month, and thankfully I went for Kaido! 😭😅 I will not bother with this figure at all, the articulation part gave me too much anxiety lol. 😓😂

Bruhhh I think I’m gonna cancel my preorder. I was looking at that ankle the whole video and then it broke on you uggggghhhhhh looks like the neca one is superior in that respect and I LOVE mafex

Just got a hot toys 1/6 scale 2007 endoskeleton for $250. And amiami sent the invoice a couple days ago. Paid it because I was was hyped but your review crushed my excitement 😭

Awesome diorama pieces you have there. Pretty disappointing about the figure's legs. Were you able to return it?

Maybe the blasters are “Phased Plasma Rifles in a 40 watt range” 👀

I bought the same one, but when I took it out of the box, the ankle was broken. It's been a week since I emailed the manufacturer and still no word.

fck i'm cancelling my order!! i pose my figures a lot but dealing with this soooo fragile i'm not spending for that.

Phase Plasma Rifles in a 40 watt range

Can you swap the Arnold heads

This figure looks like it’s engineered exactly like the neca figure but with less detail. Almost like a cheap copy. My experience with mafex is that 50% of the ones I own have some sort of qc issue. Unacceptable especially given the price.

Bro that sucks majorly !!! I feel you usually i have that kinda horrible luck as well sorry it broke hopefully they give you a replacement bro

The Name Of The TERMINATOR Gun Was Named In The First TERMINATOR Movie. When He Went To The Gun Shop And Started To Name GUNS That He Wanted. But Then The TERMINATOR Named A Gun With A CRAZY Name. And The Man In The Gun Shop Told Him To Ask For GUNS That You See.

Looks like the foot was snapped during transit and it just hung on

dude what is that carnage you got there? im trying to decide which carnage i need in my collection.

Was very anticipated with this release but cancelled my preorder after seeing images of the actual product. Something just seems off, it still looks decent but definitely not worth the import price. Although I do have the Mafex T-800s, guess I’ll be sticking with my NECA endoskeleton. However, I’d consider getting it if you’re in Japan after those tax free discounts 😂

Mafex price + Super7 articulation + Neca joints + Marvel Legends accessories. Very disappointed with this figure 😢

I regret buying this. Those feet are a deal breaker. Anyone know if hobby genki would let me cancel before shipping it?

Damn, that is extremely disappointing. I've been loving these Mafex releases and I was super excited about this one, pre-ordered it (it's on the way). Wasn' tsure why it was priced higher than the regular Arnies, I figured it might be in full diecast (lowkey hoping). But this looks like a worse release than the NECA one, at least that one doesn't break on you by just touching it. Feels like they dropped the ball ont his one big time.

🙌🙌😎😎👏👏👏👏👏👏

That’s pretty shocking about your figure breaking in two places! 😮.. although articulation is disappointing it’s a beautiful figure nonetheless.

Does the mouth articulate?

Dood ....I want this one alot !!!

By the way....your "good" figure, )the one without the broken foot) looks like it's missing a piston on the left chest!! I hope you found it!

Well that sucks....to be fair...i feel all endoskeleton figures no matter what company makes them always has the same exact problems...hoses come off the neck... Pistons end up dropping off and getting lost and the foot issue...ill never understand why hottoys can do Ironman 1 2.0. 3. 4. 4.0. And version 5.0. But endo never get updated or loved? We need a decent diecast well made endoskeleton. Same with ed 209.

Spoiler Alert ! The worst thing a collector fears happens in this video ! Be warned ! This is beyond heartbreaking 😭 I was thinking about getting this figure and I know Mafex and I know they sometimes be super fragile. This may be the king of fragile mafex. Certainly not getting this for that prize. Thank you for saving my money. Look at the video in slow motion at the breakage. This is really really bad. My condolences as a collector and fan.

This is bad. I decided to just not cancel it and just get it shipped to me anyway. Hope it doesn’t break on me. It looks incredibly screen accurate!

Prefer Neca terminator, way better than mafex. Mafex always had QC issues.

Yea, sadly I think this is gonna be one of the more disappointing Mafex figures of the year, especially at its steep asking price. The sculpt work looks great, but the articulation and paint leave a lot to be desired.

Damn, that's the most flimsy Terminator I've ever seen !! hahaha. Didn't NECA make a bigger and more durable Endoskelton figures for 29 dollars or lower ? lol

I just got my Mafex t-800, and this shit is more fragile than the McFarlane. So many issues, for a $140 figure!

Mine is definitely defective like yours. The right foot is fixed, no articulation and these pistons suck, very flimsy. Definitely a 6/10 from me. Not worth $100.

Well, that’s not good. Lol

The mouth doesn’t open. That’s a bummer.

Super disappointed on the execution.

Looks like shit. Lol. Thank god I didnt buy this
