A visible elbow peg? What kind of shit is this?
An "all-new body"? Nope. I just looked over my NECA Cyberdyne Showdown figure and it looks like they're re-using the entire upper body, and possibly even the head (which I originally suspected when I first saw the prototype pics). The only thing new are the legs, and they're probably just re-tooled from the original to add the articulation where it was lacking. That's why we're seeing behind-the-times elbow pegs; the Ultimate T-800 is based on an old figure.
I'm not entirely disappointed, as the Cyberdyne Showdown figure remains great to this day, but it's still pretty misleading on NECA's part. But at least we're getting leg articulation, extra heads, weapons, etc. Overall, it's a decent deal for people who missed out on this figure previously. But I really hate the visible elbow pegs.
I'm probably passing on this, as I already have the Cyberdyne Showdown and Battle Across Time figures. What, I'm going to buy the same figure but with leg articulation and then pose it on my shelf and not move it ever again? A 100% new figure might have enticed me, but not this.
