Got 2 of the Ultimate Police Station Assault T-800s today. Not from BBTS. Somehow they still don't have it yet. I got these from a store I use in the UK. I'd be ordering more there and cancel with BBTS but I left it too long and the UK store ran out of stock with my purchase.
Anyway much to my surprise the leg issue either isn't present on these 2 samples or it's much less noticeable than usual, so that's cool. Overall I like the figure. Just my usual criticism of the hair on these sculpts - comparing it to the box image alone you can see it's completely wrong but that's nothing new as it was always wrong on the original release aswell. The guns are bent which seems par for the course with these Ultimate Terminators - unfortunate for anyone who didn't get the originals. The paint is OK but not particularly an improvement on the originals, I was hoping it would be.
By sheer chance I discovered an oddity with one of mine - a left forearm that is not the same sculpt as the forearm on my other sample or on any of the older figures. Whatever figure it came from it works, it looks just like the sleeve of this jacket and is painted accordingly but the folds are different. I don't know how that would have happened with this individual figure.
Anyway, I always seem to underestimate my need to create every possible variant and use every possible weapon - so I'll probably end up buying more of these than originally intended.
