Man I really don't like nitpicking on this particular figure, but I think the leg articulation at the knees is going to be less than desirable. My reason for saying this is that the original Motorcycle Cop T-1000 had articulation at the knees right where his boots met the rest of his leg. It was useless on the previous version because it was a pre-posed figure and bending the knees would only prevent it from standing.

On this new version it looks like they kept that same design at the knee with the insert molded pin going into the boot rather than the leg. This means the figure won't be able to swivel side to side at the knee and instead will only be able to rotate at the boot similar to Weyland-Yutani Commando figure from Alien Series 8. The new hip articulation should help with some of this, but because the figure is still slightly pre-posed at the knee before the articulation starts it means you'll never be able to get this figure standing up completely straight. And the packaged shot leads me to believe that that is the final production figure so I don't think we're going to see an updates and modifications to it before its released.

I’ll reserve my final judgments when I get the figure in hand and see reviews. Again it’s not a deal breaker, but I feel like this figure has taken so many shortcuts to maintain an Ultimate title and even with that still has issues.
