Hollywood Collector Gallery Endoskull

I've done a search here and can't find much at all.

I'm just wondering if you guys know anything about this 1:1 head, the quality etc and how it compares to the Sideshow one?

I know they do a 1:2 scale but I'm looking at the 1:1 Primarily.

Cheers guys.

Re: Hollywood Collector Gallery Endoskull

I use to have one...... it's a good Endoskull but IMO the SS one is much better

Re: Hollywood Collector Gallery Endoskull

Thanks Cooey,

So, with the saving that you get it's still 'nicer' to own the SS then?

Whats a fair price for a HCG, excellent condition 1:1 endo skull, still in box but has been displayed please?

I kinda figured but the SS is so hard to get and even then it's the combat model unless you wanna pay really big bucks.

Re: Hollywood Collector Gallery Endoskull

I sold mine originally for the SS version when it was first announced

I'd say a fair price for the HCG in good condition would be £250 - £350 mate.

You can still order the battle damaged Endoskull from Sideshow though - Sideshow Collectibles, Inc. - Terminator / T-800 Endoskeleton Life-Size Bust - Combat Version

Re: Hollywood Collector Gallery Endoskull

Yea, I found that cheaper from the SecretCompass guy on evilbay.

He'd actually be marking it down as a 'gift' so i would save a fair amount.

Damn these are hard to get

Re: Hollywood Collector Gallery Endoskull

I'm very pleased with my HCG endoskull, it's heavy and shiny and plays a tune while it's eyes light up

Re: Hollywood Collector Gallery Endoskull

Thx Lion,
It certainly looks great. Fantastic even!!

I can find one for £350.00 but I don't want to be ripped off.

I know it's only worth what you want to pay etc and if it was the SS I probably would not hesitate.

I have to make a decision

Re: Hollywood Collector Gallery Endoskull

This version can be cleaned, A lot of collectors did this. All you need is nail varnish remover

The battle damage is only a thin layer black wash which is removed rather easily. It cleans up very nicely. There were loads of posts about this on the statue forums and sideshowfreaks boards.

This is how it looks cleaned up,

Re: Hollywood Collector Gallery Endoskull

I've been looking for a SS Endoskull for the past few months. Now I see you can pre-order them on the SS website for delivery Sept/Oct but how do I order one from the European store? I've clicked on it but the U.S and Europe store look the same to me. I'm going on the basis that coming from the Europe store will be cheaper postage and no customs. I got stung BIG time by customs with a snowboard purchase last year so I'd rather avoid it.

Any help?

Thanks in advance.

same store its just where it ships from and I just had a quick look through old emails and on your order confirmation it will say 'This order is being shipped from the European warehouse only' just after the confirmation details...... just remember they charge vat when billing which isn't on the confirmation
