All Things Robocop

BACK TO ROBOCOP:

So I've been wanting to get a ROBOCOP auto 9 airsoft gun. i know little to nothing about airsoft / paintball guns so anyone who has knowledge on this topic please chime in.

There is a single shot, plastic model going for about $20 ... cool for a display.

The one i really want is an automatic gas powered BEAST OF A GUN ... actually sounds kinda like the one from the movie ... kinda. I believe it can be found for $120 -$200 range.

Here's a video (sorry if it's already been posted):

yeah, ive been wanting one too. they're made by ksc. but paying $200+ for an airsoft gun seems a little extreme.
it's easier to find a real beretta m93r than it is to find those ksc airsoft guns anymore. ebay is your best bet.

edit - here's one for $195.

that's cool ...to each his or her own.

to be honest, i've seen them once, maybe it was an off night, don't own any of their albums.

Check 'em out. Good stuff...

The high end model is very nice but I have no use for it so I'm planning on getting the cheaper one for the display value once I get everything set up in the new place...

it's amazing the Hot Toys Robo is 10 X more expensive than McFarlane's 12" battle damaged.

it's BRUTALLY overpriced, when you can have the same figure for less.

can't say i agree with u on the mcfarlane being superior to the hot toys robo. but unfortunately you're right about the ht being way overpriced (current aftermarket prices on evilbay).

I can't believe this almost turned into a music thread. Let's keep this stuff clean and toy friendly please.
Someone should just take pictures of the HT, NECA and MCF robo's faces and compare it to a movie still. That would stop all this arguing. To each there own and no one has the right to say anyone is wrong. Though it's a free country and you can say whatever you want, but ignoring the opinion of others and believing that what you say is more important than anything else is just ignorant.

Has anyone actually tried removing the bullet holes from BD ED via alcohol or some other method?

RE: This.

Don't. I tried removing it, and it ended up starting to come off well enough, but ended up turning green and streaky. Guess I'll have to commission a repaint. Anyone recommend someone really good at painting realistic metal?

Oh that totally blows. Yea I really liked the BD ED209 but those stupid pasted on bullet holes were so cheesy. Robo never even got a shot off on the ED because he dropped his gun.

 

[prefused]

is the battle damaged ed really worth owning?
i don't see any advantage it would have over the regular version.

 

[Alice]

Just the damaged arm. The rest of the battle damage is not screen accurate and is just painted on.

I managed to get a non-damaged left arm as well, and I'm looking to get the painted on bullet holes removed to have a complete ED.

ah, i thought the damage was sculpted too. well, that's cool i guess if it can just be painted over.
either way, everyone on ebay thinks i'm gonna pay $400+ for it. which is not the case. so, screw it.

(this has been posted elsewhere, but just thought i'd give this thread a much-needed bump)

AT LAST.

at long last, after a year of searching i have finally attained my ultimate 1/6 grail... the hot toys ROBOCOP figure!!!

i got into this hobby relatively late, so i missed out on a lot of classic figures, officer alex murphy being one of them. on ebay, this figure was hard to come by, and in the very few times he popped up, his price was either insanely expensive, or i was outbid at the very last minute.

so when a seller in europe offered this figure loose, i jumped at the chance. this is actually the robocop3 version, but as i have no plans to display him with the accessories or the stand, he is for all intents and purposes the robocop1 figure to me. the only downside was it didn't come with the original box. that was a real bummer, but i couldn't argue with the price! let's just say it's not much more than the original retail price, which is absolutely unheard of when it comes to this figure.

he's in pretty good condition aside from some loose joints. i just love this guy. robocop is a true classic in every way---an older figure, but imo still one of ht's best work.

anyway, here's a few shots of my most hard-earned collectible yet...

 

[EndIessRAlN]

Congrats bro. That looks like the Robo 3 with the removable helmet version? Where's the jetpack?

 

[tylerdurden]

thanks

yes, this is the version3 with the removable helmet. i haven't gotten round to taking any shots with his helmet off. the removable feature is a nice-to-have. but frankly i'm not too keen on the face. he looks better from the nose down.

this was sold to me without the flight pack and gun arm, which is mainly why it was so cheap. and i don't care, cos i don't want anything to remind me of the travesty that was the 3rd film. so no big loss.

now all i gotta do is find an empty robocop1 box for sale...

 

[mywii]

great score there tyler...i am still waitin patiencely for a reasonble price....

 

[yele32]

Nice pics Tylerdurden.

A few pics of my new Robocop PF in my work:

Looks better in person.

 

[tylerdurden]

great score there tyler...i am still waitin patiencely for a reasonble price....

thanks man.

patience does indeed pay off. my wait took a year but it was worth it...



yele32, what exactly are u doing to your pf? a repaint or re-sculpt too?
(and thanks btw.)

 

[yele32]

Ops, i do not nothing, jeje, that is my work table, and in that moment i hadn´t got another space to put the figure.

 

[Commtech]

Hey tyler, great pictures man! I had also been looking for this guy for months and finally got him for a decent price, brand new here on the boards. I also got the robo3 version but display him without the jetpack. Back when this was barely released, my local comic shop had it and I can't remember why the hell I passed on it! Anyway, right now it's my favorite figure!

 

[mywii]

commtech....you wanna let go one of it ....he...he...
