He used a carbine not an LMG 
Well, I think the large machine gun might have had more to do with that

Have you guys noticed that the patterns on his t-shirt change on every figure?
I have two T1 T800s and they each have a different t shirt

Yup.
But it changes slightly throughout the movie too so its no problem.
The only "problem" I do see with the T-shirt is that the wording is wrong.
It says "MoDE" and "MoD" on the figure instead of "MoDERN"...but no big deal at all.
Below shows what im talking about -
Awesome site, already know that one.
_____, Sean.
Sorry to hear that. Hope you get your replacement soon.
I got my two T-800s today, what a fantastic figure.
The proportions and look of this guy is great. He really looks intimidating. Pictures don't give the battle damaged headsculpt justice. In person it has this realistic, glossy wash over his wounded eye that just looks believable in every way.
Right now I have one set up as the "regular" Tech Noir Arnold with .45 longslide in hand. I love that regular head. The other one I can't put down, I have the battle damaged arm and head on it and keep swapping hands with the rifle and surgery tools.
As with all of figures, I have a few nitpicks. The arm was a _____ to get off. I decided to heat it using a blow dryer and it STILL took some force to get it off. Then ironically, once I got the battle damaged arm in, it would pop off with ease.
It was nice that they included an undamaged arm, but really they could have just left the battle damaged arm as is since the sleeve would cover it anyway. There was really no need for two separate arms. I was thinking this as I was posing my battle damaged version and simply rolled the sleeves down and snapped it the cuffs into place.
The second issue, which is probably just on mine is the collar. It's only on one (the other is perfect) but they stitched the collar too close to the shoulder. I'm not sure why Hot Toys decided to stitch either side since it hangs naturally. I decided to just clip it and it looks and fits much better.
Last "problem" is the arm construction, preferably around the shoulders on these last two (T2 and T1, never got Dutch) Arnold figures. It feels like I'm going to break them or something. The arms move in an entirely different position than the shoulder ball joint inside, I just don't like it. One side feels a little loose, while the other is tight. After seeing those pics of someone's broken T2 arm and seeing the horrible construction of the inside of the arm in the shoulder, I've been really cautious when posing and taking off the jacket on mine.
It's ashame that the arms limit articulation movement. It's similar to the T2 T-800 in that you can't raise his arms in certain positions, it's quite bother some. Especially with such iconic weapons, like the Uzi and long slide.
Thankfully, that's all the the problems I had. No wonky eyes here. In fact, the eyes are done really well like most of Hot Toys' eyes. At first I thought one leg was longer than the other until I futzed with it a bit. It ended up being the leg positioning. In doing so I did notice that this sucker is really top heavy. It took me about 10 mins to make it stand up straight.
Speaking of poses, it's almost impossible to NOT touch the studs on the back and right elbow. One of these days I'm sure I'm going to accidentally take one off and have to glue it, ala T2 leather jacket studs.
Anyway, great figure. No pictures unfortunately (left the camera at work) but I'll have time to take some in the coming weeks. Definitely one of my favorites.
Same here with the arm, I got it off without a blowdryer and now it´s a piece of cake. Gotta keep him on, though. And when I have my dio done, I´m gonna pull the jacket up too.
The arm construction is a frighenting problem for me too.
I actually turn the arm close to the body up and down and that way the shoulder joint keeps turning the way it should.
Hope you understand what I mean.
And my elbow actually came without anystuds, but I´m gonna try something with aluminium foil tape I got, should be easy.
No downer for me though.

Crappy quality as usual and it just doesnt look good in the pics for some reason.
I need to get a proper camera instead of using my laptop to take pics.
I cant even see what im taking half of the time

Badass pose, TFG. Your camera´s enough for that.
Quick poll, guys:
Which of those studs is made outta aluminium foil and glued on, pls?!

Since I got mine a few days ago, figured I'd weigh in on the QC on mine . . . all the metal studs are there on mine and the paint job looks like the pictures.
I did have some problems balancing him, but it doesn't matter since I will only be displaying him with his stand.
Maybe if I strip him down I can find what the balance problem is, but I have no desire to do that. The stitching on the clothing looks fragile and the less I have to move it around, the better. I doubt I will even display him with the damaged arm (don't like seeing those exposed joints).

There is that short part right after the eye surgery where he checks his newly fried hair in the mirror... I always thought that little gesture was odd for a Terminator.
They had some issues with mis-spelling on the Aliens guys armor, as well.
May have something to do with English not being their first language. Or, could be their taking selective screen shots and making inferences where they don't have good angles.

It just had it's eye brows and hair singed off. It's function is to infiltrate and locate a target in society. Maybe that gesture was shown because the T-800 was making sure it looked "normal" and human to blend in better.
Same reason it puts on sunglasses (to cover up the eye) and why it leaves the scene after the car chase and the police come (it's damaged and looks inhuman).
Or maybe it planned on being a flaming hair stylist after it succeeded in killing Sarah Connor, who knows.

Thanks, man.
This is the only stud that looks different to the originals to me.
Great idea, my friend!
Im going to do it to replace my missing stud on the back of my BD version.
Thanks for sharing.

Am I right in thinking that this is a stud?
If so, its not supposed to be there and could be used to replace your aluminium stud.
Yes, I agree. I always thought that's why he did that. "If you can't pass for human you're not much good to us."
As for leaving the scene after the police arrived, that part is a little more difficult to make sense of. Because he was damaged and looked inhuman? He didn't leave after the truck ran him over and half his face was gone ("get out"), even though he looked inhuman, presumably because his target was within his range and killing his target was apparently more important than maintaining his cover. So I always wondered why he left when the police came. Best I can come up with is that his hand must have been damaged to the point that it was useless so repairs were absolutely necessary. Still makes you wonder why he didn't just hold the gun with his other hand.
OK, DiFabio, you and I are good at this sort of thing. Can we come up with an internally consistent explanation for why he left the scene after the police arrived?
Hmmm . . . maybe if the police had seen that he was a machine, it would blow his cover, but if some random truck driver saw it, it wouldn't matter as much?
