This actually turned out pretty good.
It did - I actually liked the paint on mine. From lacking any excitement for a 7" version of the masked P1 I ended up glad I got it. Unfortunately it broke at the elbow in my gentle investigation to see if the joint was stuck in the first place. You can't give these things the benefit of the doubt it seems, you really do have to heat them up before you try to do anything with them. Though I have doubts that would have helped my T-1000s.
