Terminator 2: Judgment Day Endoarm 4K Review


On July 17, 2018, after many delays, the collectible release of the 4K Terminator 2: Judgment Day is finally here. And it's in the form of an endoskeleton forearm encased in a tube like it was at the Cyberdyne vault. For a brief and to the point review, our primary webmaster, Adrian Czarny, who is a Terminator historian and a hardcore collector was asked to share his opinion on this release:

By far it's the best collectible Terminator release out there. There were quite a few of those and the ones that are most remembered are the VHS US box set in a slipcase with a book and hologram, the UK T2 "lunchbox" release and of course the endoskull DVD release from 2009. While the endoskull release was quite cool, with sound effects from the movie, lit up eyes and the overall design, it did look like a cool toy, but a toy nonetheless. It was very silvery and visually obvious that it's made out of plastic, and most details were glossed over, discarded or just vaguely outlined. Which is fine, since it wasn't a Sideshow release or anything like that. However, this particular release of the endoarm certainly holds the candle and scrutiny even to the Sideshow releases. The details aren't glossed over for sure, and every part seems to be fine crafted separately and thoroughly. The proportions are perfect, and the paint job gives it a great, darkened metallic look which looks very much like steel. It's a top notch job and a MUST have for any Terminator fan.
