Chronicle Collectibles 1:1 Robocop bust

[Jason Marko]

I'm still waiting to see the adjustments too. Not buying it with Arnold's face.

It's really strange they haven't shown the re-vised mouth. You'd think they'd want to show it ASAP to ensure more sales. As of right now I'd be genuinely surprised if they sold more than 10 of these so far.

With Paul gone who knows what's up. I wouldn't pre-order a thing from them unless it was extremely rare and could possibly sell out.

 

[davejames]

Yeah this thing just looks off in every possible way. Especially when you compare with that old Fred Barton one.

Why? If the rumors about Paul were true then I'd say it's good that he's gone.

 

[MiamiLoco]

What were the rumors?

 

[snoop101]

I'm guessing his shady history has something to do with it. This is from someone over on the rpf forums.



This is public information and can be confirmed by calling the Licensing Group directly. Infact they WANT people to contact them with relevent information...

The following information has been verified. Paul Francis of Lucas Francis Studios license for Terminator 2 has been terminated. Mr. Francis was selling Terminator 2 props and costumes as well as pieces from Predator and had created fake certificates of authenticity on the letterhead of Terminator licensor The Licensing Group. These were signed with a forged signature by Paul Francis. A collector in Europe contacted The Licensing Group after purchasing $80,000 worth of props and costumes from Paul Francis. The Licensing Group had no knowledge of this transaction, and after examining the certficiates of authenticity realized Francis was commiting fraud using their name. Francis' licenses were then promptly cancelled. Further investigation revealed Francis was selling unlicensed Endoskeleton kits and castings of unapproved product. Be careful of conducting business with this individual. Any of these statement can be verified by contacting The Licensing Group in southern California.

Ouch!

Who even is "The Licensing Group"?

 

[#Brian]

I believe Paul is still an owner, just silent now.
The licensed issue was some years ago and has clearly been resolved or he would not have been able to move forward and secure any of the licenses he has.

I ordered this and made about $700 in payments but canceled.
I personally always thought the head should be poseable like the SS T800 bust. This would give more options for display as well as bring some life to it instead of the rigid face forward look it has.

That's still the Schwarzenegger sculpt being used.

 

[davejames]

Likeness looks a lot better now, but helmet is weirdly uneven and not nearly as smooth as it should be.

 

[snoop101]

That's still the Schwarzenegger sculpt being used.

Yeah i think you're right. They just reduced the lip size.

 

[Collectorcol]

That's better?

 

[j97e1]

So far only 29 sold.

 

[KoBE]

So far only 29 sold.

Where do you see that?

 

[j97e1]

Where do you see that?

If you add 200 to basket and try to check out, it will correct the quantity to 171.

It's just so lazy on CC part. Did they even bother to reference Peter Wellers face? There's so many good references out there that there's no excuse this shouldn't be 100%, especially considering its lifesize. Enterbays Robocop is still the best in terms of likeness in my book (obviously only counting the weller faceplates).

I take it your book was not a bestseller then because EB only did a Robocop 3 figure.
