ThinkGeek :: Terminator Endoskeleton 18″ Figure

Terminator Endoskeleton 18

Fans of the Terminator movies will love the attention to detail in this figure. Since a Terminator isn’t just any old solid robot, there are tons of wires and cables and pistons involved. We’re happy to report that NECA thought of every detail and articulated the crap out of this figure. Seriously, there’s a website out there of two T-800s doing… well, things you’d have to be fully-articulated to be able to do. The bulk of the Endoskeleton is made from a rubbery, flexible silver plastic with a wash of black. The depth of detail is absolutely amazing. The T-800′s eyes light up and it comes with a rifle and a spare right hand that can be swapped out. And just so you don’t forget what a Terminator is for, it comes with a base comprised of human skulls.
