I wish I bought a second figure after seeing Blackout's display. That's wicked!
I think it was Endosickness that went the bendy hands and gloves path. I think he was pleased with the result, I have yet to see bendy hands that fit HT joints without mods though.
edit: They might fit withoutout mods,

And have the gloves cover up the ugly joint.
So I missed this one when it came out, and the price has only gone up and up. I have a chance to get one for $250 complete. Should I jump on it or wait and hope for a different one down the line?
Well, I went ahead and grabbed him. It was a second chance offer through ebay. I was on the fence with this guy for a long time because I wasn't sold on the face sculpt, but I hated just having the T-1000 and T1 Arnold.
I think I'll leave him as a Galleria/Pescadero T-800, because I like the sunglasses on him. Now I'm trying to decide if I want the Sarah Connor or just call it a day.

I have the same experience like yours before grabbing him.
Overall he's amazing figure, although the likeness of HS is only 75% for me, however, you'll enjoy it once the sunglasses is on.
I dunno, a lot of people say that but I think the sculpt is closer tlo 90% accurate maybe like 85% IMO. I think with the sunglasses on its almost dead on and with them off its the eyes that throw the likeness off for me. Some people say it has a squished look but Im not sure really what it is...something around the eyes. I still love that figure nontheless, its one of my faves and when ever anyone comes over my house( non collectors) hes the one they gravaitate to..well him and my Joker figure. Its funny non collectors that come over my house love to look at them and ask questions. Kids in the neighborhood always want to come in and looks at my toys. Little pieces of art they are.
Trust Me!!!
I actually love the eyes, I think they're dead-on Arnie. For me the squashed face thing is the problem and it maybe makes the eyes look too far apart even though they probably aren't. I think if the face were just a smidge longer the head would overall be in better proportion to the body aswell. I also would have chosen to go with slightly longer hair. So the head isn't perfect to my eyes but as Maulfan said, there may be technical issues, but the likeness is definitely there.
