Where did you read that?
Promo art and a sales sheet for MGM's RoboCop at the Licensing International Expo in Las Vegas.
At bottom of poster is says: "NECA and Hot Toys will launch new figures and collectibles in late 2011"
Came from this link:

I found this image from the Licensing International Expo. The push is due to the remake but it also looks like original-style merch will be produced until they're ready to unveil the new designs.

Hot Toys is re-hashing everything else nowadays. Why not?

I don't really care either way. If it's redone, I will just sell my old and buy the new. Count me in Hot Toys.
It does say new figures, so Hot Toys did everything they could with Robocop and ED 209, so it has to be other Characters like Cain or ???
With all the Iron Man stuff they have done, Cain would be a pieces of cake by now for them!
Just wondering if anyone at Comic-Con got any of the people to spit out new info??

Hot Toys hasnt given us a BD Robo and with what they are doing with Ironman I exspect a Robo with switch BD parts form ether the first or second movies end... IMO
They wouldn't make more Robocop figures and not include Robocop himself in the line-up. So, no it wouldn't be just 'new characters'. Chances are it actually wouldn't include any new characters at all. Robocop and ED-209 have always been where its at for that franchise.
You'd see a new clean Robocop with greater accuracy overall, better proportions, better joints and better facial detail. You'd see a battledamaged Robocop surely, ideally with Peter Weller likeness. And maybe they'd reissue or make a new ED-209 but I kinda doubt it.

Hopefully no rubber this time.

I sold my old Robocop and ED-209 long ago and really regretted it. This news makes me pretty happy.

No more rubber domes on ED-209 figures Hot Toys. Make it out of metal.
Now that you mention it, assuming the faceplate isn't removable, Robocop could have multiple mouths a la the new Batman. Hell, you could just have completely removable faces even if you do have the removable faceplate part. Talking Robocop, straight-faced Robocop, and. . .uh, happy RobocopED-209 made an appearance in Robocop 3 mind you. there is still HOPE.
