Fred barton 1:1 Robocop bust

[Ash Housewares]

He'd certainly never let you call him murphy with this basic Knowledge .

To be honest, with the chinguard, I didn't even notice until it was mentioned here. But it doesn't bother me either. I guess I'm not as big of a Robocop fan as I thought. I missed the chinguard... i missed the bolts...

And the biggest oversite of all by everyone......wasnt Robocop african american in the movie? How could you all have missed this!
What is this, the vanilla ice version?

Thanks for posting the picture and update THX.....I'm so happy that Fred has decided to put the bolts on! They should have based the design solely on R1.....I can understand Fred wanting to please the fans of R2 & R3, but seriously R1 is the only reason why I love Robocop.....That news with the bolts has really made my day. This is further confirmation that this bust is more of a R1 bust then a R2 and R3! YAYYYYY

a) I'd like to meet the fans of R3 face to face... so I can give them a wakeup punch to the face
b) I respect Fred wanting to please everyone, but will all due respect, fans of R3 do not deserve to be pleased.

(now watch, when my son is 5 he'll end up loving Robocop 3)

I second every notion of that statement!!!! Well said Reinhardt!

I can't stop looking at the recent shot if this masterpeice. Just looks so beautiful. If it looks as good in person as it does in these pics it will be my favourite piece or sure.

It's definitely going to be my favorite piece.

 

[Reinhardt]

I can't stop looking at it either, and I have no intention of taking a break.

lol, just noticed that even this $20 vinyl kit I'm working on has the bolts.

thx217,

Could you please share information on that kit? I have had many (Horizon, Argonauts) but this one looks to be much better!

Thanks in advance

It's the 1/8 kit from Max Factory. I tweaked the pose(fixed pose, no articulation), parts and resculpted the face. It's still a wip and it will be a faux bronze finish.

Very cool. Interesting how the first one comes painted.

 

[Skullsoldier]

ANother kit to look for is the vinyl one by Huai - it was cast off of one of the original puppets. Really a nice, crisp sculpt. Has allot more realistic bulk than, say, the HT figure.

 

[CAIN MKII]

thx217 your robocop looks terrific.
I'm very interested to read more about this vinyl kit from Huai: any picture to share?
Check Fred website for some fresh pix of robocop chest piece.
Great stuff

 

[Reinhardt]

The new pics of the chest piece don't have the bolts, therefore it's a fail.

 

[CAIN MKII]

WIP stuff dude. Let's say it's R2 chest and screw the bolts lol

 

[Reinhardt]

I was totally kidding. Giving Fred a hard time. All of his stuff is brilliant.
