That looks a lot better than the first Genisys Arnold figure.

Kind of the downfall of having a natural organic exterior is that it degenerates like any skin and muscle would. AKA: That's their excuse to have Ahnuld back.

This actually isn't new. In the supplemental material on the T2 DVD, James Cameron explained something to this effect, but instead of aging the flesh would actually just start rotting instead if the T-800 was in the field long enough (although he never said how long this would take...presumably at least months if not years). Freshly flesh-coated T-800s would be kept in cold storage until needed to avoid this. Apparently there was a whole extended future sequence scripted for T2 that revealed this stuff that was cut for budgetary reasons.

The makers of Genisys obviously played around with that idea and changed it from 'rotting' to 'aging,' which works as far as I'm concerned. It was one of the few things about the movie that made sense.
