Whatever the case, I don't know whether he's actually called Ultimate, but Hastings has an articulated, folly loaded Schwarzenegger Terminator figure... but the head sculpt is surprisingly, disappointingly weak.

Well so far there have only been 4 or 5 ultimate figures released and for some it's either their first NECA figure (John Matrix, Dante) or it's been a long time since their last figure (Leatherface, T2 T-800) so yes they have had higher articulation than previous versions if there were previous versions. The upcoming part VI Jason is an example of one that isn't really seeing any better articulation than some of his previous figures since the parts III and IV toys look to have the same range. From what I've gathered the main point of the ultimate line seems to be vast display options as each figure has swap-off heads (if applicable) and more accessories than a typical release. Regarding articulation I think it's better to compare to other current figures NECA is putting out and then articulation is pretty even across the board.

I don't know exactly which Terminator you saw but if it was the ultimate one with three heads and four or five guns then I can say the likeness is actually very good. I've seen at least a dozen of the ultimate T-800 including the one I own and only two had bad paint on the face (the lips were colored way too strongly on the main head).
