Just got mine. Notice that his right leg is slightly longer then the left. Can't stand balancely. Does anyone hast the same problem? Samething happened to my SS 12" Darth Vader figure. Pissed me off. Now I have to go through all that return/exchange procedure, and more wait!

I have read something similar before and the conclusion was that it is highly unlikely that any of the parts would be actually incorrect in length as they are all just molded. However most of the joints involve snap ins and it is more likely that it simply has not been inserted fully giving you the illusion that one of the limb is longer. Easiest thing to do is to undress your figure enough to check the naked parts of the imbalance.

Mark Dorkness tell me the differences on the T1 vs T2 body

Pecs, shoulders, leg pegs....

Looks the same to me

To lazy to inspect further.

Beauty pics King!
Congrats!

Thnx Chiggs!

I did stripped him naked. And the length is clearly off by a few mm.

ALL...if the foot pegs are indeed shorter.
The pecs and shoulders are definitely different.
I havent seen pics of the T1 leg pegs yet so cant really say about those but someone has said they use standard truetype ones which are a lot shorter than T2s pegs.

A simple tilt of the hip angle can also fix that "problem".
I do this by grabbing the 2 legs in each hand and pushing one leg up while pulling the other one down until the bottom of the feet are level.

@King Darkness - AMAZING pics!!!
Getting mine tomorrow. Nothing to complain about, but that still wont stop me doing a few very minor mods like I always do with my figures.
To those of you that have something to say about that, do one!

Excellent picture!
How'd you make the police shootout version? Which head is that? The battle damaged?

do you see an actual bodypart being longer or is one of the joints longer?

 

[Alainator]

do you see an actual bodypart being longer or is one of the joints longer?

yes, if you take the boots off, there is a "leg extension". and one is longer than the other. I took some pics.

Do you warm him up with a blow dryer, or with warm ater?
And you´re right...on an all plastic pump this low quantity oil is no problem.

It IS perfect. It´s great to have this figure finally after 27 years of no merch in this direction.
I already took a bunch of pics and will post´ em tomorrow, with T2 T-800 and...I dunno if I´m the only one:
I got some serious chills when both Arnolds were standing next to each other, cause...it´s never been done before and it wasn´t meant to happen.
Crossover alternate reality pictures (which I bet Sean will do) will look scary as _____*.

It´ll be full of win once I have my DIY surgery done, too.
Will look awesome.

You still getting the set of aluminium table and chair for TDK inter. scene, A-Dev?

Yeah we can now put the T1 T-800 up against the T2 T-800 and the T1 T-800 up against the T-1000 etc....if we want...for a bit of entertainment.

When I'm partswapping I've used boiling water in the past but Jace Maden (I think is his name) recommends against using boiling water and favours a hairdryer or just very hot tap water so I might change my method. The topic came up in one of the NECA threads yesterday.

And yes I'm still getting the table and chairs from the TDK Interrogation scene from BBTS...release date is apparently january but I have my doubts. That room diorama had delay after delay after delay after delay, I'm anticipating the same for the table & chairs to be honest. I hope not though as I'm looking forward to displaying my arm surgery T-800 more appropriately sitting down. I'm glad someone is offering this set at this time - convenient. I collected the TDK figures so I could use it with the Joker and Batman aswell if I wanted.

3 of these are actually available for order again on BBTS -

Did I see you saying you're making your own set?

 

[FLOSI]

Anyone have their Alter-Ego order ship?

 

[gotham_collector87]

Not yet I emailed them and they said that it should be in on Friday or Monday.

 

[FLOSI]

Mods, ban this ____.

 

[MaulFan]

Been banned, dozens of times, nothing permanent can be done.

 

[villainsfan42]

what the F?

 

[a-dev]

Is it just me or does this figure not have a hand for holding the uzi? It looks awkward in the trigger finger hand.

 

[MaulFan]

What's awkward about it?

 

[a-dev]

What's awkward about it?

He can't hold it upright, it has to aim downwards*. Is that normal? I remember the same 'problem' on the MMS02 figure.

*unless you angle his wrist upwards to compensate but that looks wierd too and I can't imagine its how the real weapon would be held and fired
