I have a Hollywood Collector's Gallery Terminator 2 Endoskull and have always been disappointed with the eyes. I find them toy like and very orange looking especially when illuminated.
Recently I noticed guyverraziel's excellent thread about his Skynet Edition Endo mod and thought i'd order a set of the Radio Shack lenses just on the off chance they would fit my HCG.
On receiving them I was amazed! The original lenses fitted to the HCG are the exact same size and pattern just more 'cheap' looking! It's as if they were molded from them!
I thought that id have to chop them down to the same size as the old ones in order to glue them onto the HCG but here's surprise number 2! On removing the old lenses I found that the eyes have a deep recess exactly the right diameter and depth for a straight push in fit of the new lenses with no modificaton required!
Here's a comparison shot of the new (right) and old (left) lenses. Red at last!

It's quite difficult to show in pics how much better they look but the difference is remarkable. They retain the stock look of the endo but improve the colour and depth of the eyes no end. I'd recommend this mod to any HCG owner, especially as it only takes 2 mins and requires zero tools/skill! I hope it was ok to start a new thread, as it's a different skull I didn't want to hijack the skynet edition thread
