All Things Robocop

[prefused]

i'm not saying i'll never get one. i'm saying i'll begrudgingly get one for more than i'm comfortable paying, and then send some angry emails filled with paranoid accusations and racial slurs to Max Factory, which they will delete without reading. that's how i ended up getting the Revoltech Big Chap.

I recently purchased a used RoboCop 3 figure with removable helmet and it had a paint scrape on the right jaw. Using skin tone acrylic paint, I attempted to recover the face, but the head is made of a hard rubber and acrylic doesn't seem to stick very well.

Please forgive me as I'm not used to painting but I don't know how to do it without having a sheen on the face due to a coat of sealer.

There are also marks/dents on either cheek area where the bottom edge of the helmet rests. I thought about trying to sand down the cheeks a bit so its not such a tight fit.

Has anyone else who owns/has owned this figure had similar issues?

Thanks in advance!

Don't take the helmet off. Problem solved. Lol

 

[a-dev]

I was tempted to say the same. The face underneath is so outdated I personally wouldn't display it anyway.

 

[Billy Ray]

Yeah but all you'd have to do is get the Kenner ED-209 for this figma and BAM, recreate the scenes in the film with 5" scale versions.

My younger brother had those Kenner figures. The whole cap firing thing was a a little bizarre, but kind of cool at the same time.

Recently picked up the NECA Robocop and was pretty wowed by it. Figma one looks great too.

Any word if Hot Toys Robocop stuff this fall 2011?

New figures or just releasing the old ones they have already done?

New figures I hope Cain

 

[COSMOSTARX]

I think Revoltech is coming out with a Robocop. I'm going to get that.

Hell I'd take an old one, I just want one along with a T-800 Endo. Missed out on both on original release.

Do you mean Figma ? Or did you actually heard that revoltech is attempting to do one ?

Me too!!

I'd much prefer to wait & get new versions of each though..

Yeah my bads, Figma. I have them both kind of confused haha. I know it's the 5.5" to 6" line of stuff

Are there plans to release the Robocop & T-800 Endo again? I've not heard this news!

 

[COSMOSTARX]

Repost I think

I'm not sure, but I'm speaking generally - I'd prefer to wait, it'll only be a matter of time IMO.

Yup I had the exact same issue. I used oxy 10 spot remover on his face to remove the black mark. It came out pretty well, I used some gamesworkshop paint to fix the slight fading that was left behind. However I reckon the mark will no doubt reappear over time. If you can live without it, I'd just leave the mark alone. Who wants to display Robo without his helmet anyway right??

I'd gladly display a new BD robo with Peter Weller likeness without his helmet but not when A) No Weller likeness, B) outdated sculpting and painting on an old figure and C) No battledamage for scene-accuracy anyway.

 

[Doon]

Yeah I should have clarrified that, what I meant is, why would you want to display THIS Robocop without his helmet haha. If Hot Toy's did re do Robocop I would love a changeable chest, helmet and various panels like Ironman mk vi

 

[Otomofan]

If you're waiting on your Figma Robo, get ready to wait even longer........it just got pushed back ANOTHER month!! Now it's "scheduled" for release on October 31st.

These delays better mean they are making this thing perfect.....it was supposed to come out in August. This is BULL____ man.

 

[prefused]

that's cool, i'm not in a hurry to blow $70 on a 5inch action figure. hell, that's about what i paid for my HT Robo.

 

[Grosby]

The Figma figure sells for US $30 - 35. If anyone's asking for $70, they're overcharging.
