I really like having a plain-looking T-800, PJ , it's the bullet holes in the jacket that really bother me because that's seemingly the only jacket mold they have for him and they use it A LOT. That's exactly why I didn't give in on this new release. I already have 2 of the T-800 figures in my display. One holding the shotgun, with no facial damage, and another holding the mini-gun with his face all dinged up. Unless I come up with some custom idea, I can't justify having a 3rd just for the extra accessory. Beyond that, I'm still childishly bitter that this random figure got a special re-release, instead of Kyle Reese or anything remotely new.

I am loving it. And the holes in the jacket aren't an issues for me as this is the first Terminator figure I have ever purchased.

Is it possible at all to maneuver the arm close enough to his body where he could be posed carrying the box of roses like he did in the movie? I'd have to get creative to make him actually hold the thing, but I know arm articulation is usually limited at the elbow. I wouldn't mind having this on display if I could recreate that pose.

Without seeing the movie again I don't remember exactly how he was carrying it, but the arm does get close enough to touch the torso and the elbow has a swivel to it also. The issue I think would be in the wrist. Other than rotation I am not getting any back and fourth hinged motion to them and I am not willing to force them to see if they are just stuck.

Is it single elbow joint?

It is like the old original 12" GI Joe. A rotating swivel on a hinge.

I just got this in the mail a few hours ago. I was so impressed by it that I immediately began working on a butcher table diorama piece to go along side it haha. . I ran out of balsa wood to finish the other edge so I'll have to go pick some more up tomorrow. I can't wait to paint and weather it. Any update on this? Not sure if you're still lurking around here but this was the finished product.

Can anyone recommend somewhere to find the Predator figs for at least somewhat cheaper than they seem to be on after-market?
I just took up collecting the Predator figures, and I'm sticking to the ones with the ab joint, which seems to only go back to Series 14 or so (AvP wave)
Got Serpent and Jungle Hunter (the one pictured from the TRU pic above) -- with Ghost and Concrete Jungle on the way.
But some of them (namely masked Scar and Celtic) are just -- RIDICULOUS. I wouldn't mind paying $50 for a couple of them, if most of the others weren't $30+ as well.
Any suggestions on where to look is greatly appreciated!

I like but not willing to sacrifice other collections/pick-ups for these. Someday, someone decent will get to work the license and I can pick up a few at a time rather than dropping half a grand and being made to get 4 turtles and 4 foot/shredder all at once for the fear they will sell out.

I hope I can get a preorder for those Turtles before they're sold out.

B B T S has Series 18 of the Predators up for order. Dark Horse comics wave: Broken Tusk, Hornhead, and Machiko!
And that sewer Xenomorph being a nod to the monster from TMNT is awesome.
