Finally received my T-800 after what felt long an eternity of waiting. Slow ass USPS.
Anyhoo, being that the figure came from gohastings, I was a lil scepticle but eager to see what shape the box would be in, considering the things Ive heard about how hastings doesnt "handle with care". However this was not the case here, the box was in excellent condition;although the outer shipping box did smell like smoke & another unfamiliar scent. The actual figure box was packed deep inside another sorta big box, one that was big enough to fit at least two HT boxes in. Thick bubble wrap surrounded the figure, a feature that pleased me in every way possible!
Ive heard other owners described how heavy this guy was, but I was quite shocked to discover it for myself. He looks & feels really massive & makes his 'bunk buddy'
BAD:MJ look really puny almost. I may have to room him with Bats (someone who is more on his level), as I think M.J is gettin' a little intimidated.
In all, Im very satisfied with my purchase. Couldnt ask for a better looking figure!
*EDIT*: BTW, did you guys take the head off to switch shirts? Or did you just put it on over his head? I didnt think I was going to like the look of the grey shirt, but it looks good in person. Plus, I was to lazy to try to remove the jacket to apply the black shirt. Its always a hassle for me to get HT clothes on & off of figures. So most my of figs always get displayed with the default/stock look.....
