Very, very impressed. Maulfan, this is the real deal. No bootleg here.
This is 100x better than the regular/clean version I sold years ago. The headsculpt is gorgeous with flawless paint apps. The body feels really solid, especially the shoulders and arms. Whereas the regular one felt flimsy and cheap, this one feels like an actual figure I can move. Every joint moves smoothly and has a nice give to it.
There are no paint flaws from what I can see. The neck didn't have paint rubs and there are zero black runs from the leather jacket on the body. I really lucked out. When I was trying to pop the head off to pull the plastic tab out of the battery compartment to activate the eye, the figure popped apart at the abdomen. I almost got upset and freaked until I saw it was just a ball joint. From there I was able to futz with his hips and legs a little more without the weight of the upper body so I'm actually glad that happened. It popped back on no problem. I was even able to move the shoulders/arms to take the shirt and jacket off to align them and it all felt fine. Huge difference between this body and the first regular Arnold.
It only has two flaws from what I can see. The right boot feels loose and swivels with the slightest touch. Sounded like something cracked inside the foot when I was posing it. The joint still functions (up and down movement) and it isn't hanging or falling off (can't get it off the leg), but it swivels pretty easily compared to the left The second flaw is with the grenade launcher. Looks like the sight snapped at the top. It's still attached, but it one side clearly snapped and is pressed on. I don't know why they wedged it in the plastic tray so hard because I'm sure that's what did it.
Other than that, perfection. I can't get over how great it looks, even with the less damaged pants and tacky looking blood applications that plagued the second batch it looks amazing. For $222 I'm very, very happy. I'll be getting Robocop next, then T-1000. Eforcity did a fantastic job packing this guy. Really great stuff.
