First RoboCop figure for me so I'm stoked.
As an owner of both the original diecast release and the all-plastic battle-damaged release, I can tell you that for what they're going to charge you - you'll want the extra heft and cold metal feel that the diecast offers.Is anyone else not a fan of the fact that it’s diecast?
Arnold is 75 in a couple of days, here’s hoping hahaDefinitely getting this! Don't really care it's from the third movie.
Really hope they revisit Terminator 1 and 2 again soon. A clean T800 from T2 and a much improved Arnold sculpt in 1/4 scale would be a grail for me.
Funny enough I was just reading through the thread for the battle damaged figure and kicking myself for not getting any of the Robocop figures. Then this pops up out of nowhere.Just this week I was saying to myself that I wish I had a Robocop with more durable joints and an Iron Man suit from the first movie, I guess I wasn't the only one lol. Now I have to buy this and hope they fixed the clear plastic joints.
Really? But can’t they get more details in a plastic mold as opposed to a diecast mold?As an owner of both the original diecast release and the all-plastic battle-damaged release, I can tell you that for what they're going to charge you - you'll want the extra heft and cold metal feel that the diecast offers.

Yes but the places where they use diecast, it's more than sufficient for capturing the details necessary. With a clean Robocop like this, you wouldn't be gaining any details by switching to plastic.Really? But can’t they get more details in a plastic mold as opposed to a diecast mold?
The battle-damaged version is excellent, but it feels hollow and light by comparison despite costing the same amount as the clean diecast figure in their day.It's a mental thing IMO. Yes, the heft and cold feel are great and it fits the character, just like it does IM.
But in reality, they are all going to be placed on a shelf and the material doesn't really matter. Yes, more detail is easier on plastic, that's the reason the BD version was not diecast.
That BD version (the set itself) is, IMO, HT's best work ever. Diecast be dammend.
