Looks like you already started refinishing the black parts. What did you end up doing?

The Jetpack is magnetic; that magnet in the torso may be for that.

Any RoboCop on the horizon?

Yep, I my MMS202 has been on the shelf since 2014 with no issues. While I don't repose it regularly, I'm sure on average it's been reposed once or twice a year since then. It's a concern, but I don't let it ruin the piece for me.

Yeah, I figured that's why you had it that way. If it makes a difference, I don't think RoboCop is ever seen to utilize proper trigger discipline, lol. Perhaps one's headcanon can be that it's not necessary because his mechanical precision makes an accidental discharge virtually impossible...

Rory, I notice you have his finger outside the trigger guard. If you're having trouble convincing him to hold the gun, putting his finger in there helps. I found the finger jointson this one to be stiffer than my 2014 one (though that may just be age), and as a result I didn't have any trouble...

I put this in one of my Apextime cases, wherein you can control the lighting conditions, and it looks fantastic. Even though the base colour needed to be a little darker, the difference in the paintjob compared to the Chromocop is night and day. As a lifelong Robo fan, that improved paint was...

Yeah. The only issue is the rubber elbows limiting what poses he can be left in--otherwise, he can do what the suit can do. If anyone is having trouble finding a good pose, your best bet is to look at the movie and try and capture Weller's physical performance.

That's a huge difference--would love to see more updates as you do this. Are you going to tone down the glossy black?

TOS tops were extremely form-fitting, which is probably why this needs a different body from the TMP version. If the physique is going to show through the uniform, he presumably wants it too look right.

🤷‍♂️

Well, I got it, but I only realized after the fact that it doesn't come with the suitcase, which kills me. If anybody gets the HK version but doesn't want the suitcase for some reason, DM me. I'll pay for it.

For those with experience, what do you use to tape up the areas you don't want to paint when airbrushing? Is there a risk of masking tape damaging the existing finish? Also curious how to avoid that "caked on" appearance custom paint jobs sometimes get with less experienced painters. I'm very...

Might lose some of the purple and blue highlights, I would think?

Yeah, that's very little. While everyone is going to weigh an issue differently, you can go take a look at a TDK Batman or a Begins Batman to see what a figure that needs actual major improvements looks like. Cartoonish faceplates, poorly sculpted cowls, incorrect proportions, inaccurate armour...

Have they? Sure, the rubber dome was a serious issue, and the colour on the MMS202 was bad--but other than those (admittedly major) issues, the RoboCop license did better than most non Disney licenses, and far better than one would reasonably expect today from a niche license like this. The...

Yeah, the head looks excellent. Hopefully they tighten up the tailoring on the final jacket.

Definitely hope for some improvements here, but not too concerned yet--Locutus turned out incredible, and although I haven't received Quark yet, he looks fantastic also. I wouldn't have asked for such a long delay in getting to the TNG crew, but if means they're able to execute the figures at a...

Yes, actually--but probably not what you're thinking. There was an auction recently with a bunch of prototypes. However, they were clearly of a much earlier stage in the development process--they were essentially kitbashes. Not very desirable if what you want is a reasonably good looking and...

I mean, you can pre-order it from Popcultcha for approximately $360 USD (plus whatever fees your bank/PayPal charge over the exchange rate). Edit: My bad, I see it's already been discussed.
