I ended up with Marco Specialties Terminator 2 Skull in a pile of other parts. I had heard that it didn't look very good, and I can see how someone could be sorely disappointed with it. There is very little detail on it, making it look very flat and cartoon-like.

Comparison photos between marco's skull and an original skull.

Quoted from pinbum:

Which one is the Marco skull? The one on the left?

Yes...

Quoted from pinbum:

I see not as much detail & lacking the chrome look on the Marco skull.

Yep, exactly.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

I've never seen a broken original skull and I've owned probably 10 unshopped T2s.
I think a lot are replaced because that's what people do these days, replace stuff.

I usually see broken chins and cracks on the sides near the brackets.

The NOS skull I picked up has a crack through the middle of the chin that I didn't notice when I originally bought it. Sigh.

Has anyone come up with a good way to reinforce the skulls since they're made of such fragile plastic?
