Hot Toys – MMS202D04 - 1/6th scale RoboCop Collectible Figure

[Rorywan]

Won't we find out from OMG before Timcent puts them up for sale?

Well, he has been a little "vague" recently when asked pertinent questions like this about HT releases.
I can't remember right now which one but when asked whether something was rubber recently he said no it was "different, tougher"
and in fact it was soft rubber. At the end of the day he won't bite the hand that feeds.

 

[a-dev]

Ahhh. Hopefully we'll be able to find out by some means.

 

[Rorywan]

Thing is even if it is rubber, it could be like the previous version which is still perfect. Ah, the pressures of toy collecting.

I got faith that it won't contain any rubber. I'd hate to cancel or have to return this guy, it's my most anticipated figure and I have yet to pop my high end Robocop cherry (only own NECA and Kenner figures).

The one beacon of hope I have right now is the Iron Man Die-cast figure, it got rid of all the rubber/vinyl parts, even in the elbow joints, so I hope that's an approach they are taking with all their die-cast range.

Does Iron Man look and feel like a quality figure?

Yea they are super impressive, best iron man figures yet. There was an issue with arm joints on the mk 42 but they actually fixed that on the follow batches being shipped over seas.

The IM is solid. Also has a good weight to it too. Better than plastic that's for sure! More details also.

Yeah, I was super impressed with it. It felt like a different level of sophistication. The packaging, pretty much everything felt top end.

Same here, without a doubt he looks like the robocop figure to have. Can't wait to get him. I also think he might be cheaper from timcent than forbidden planet here in the uk

Is there a website for timcent?

 

[franpincho]

Timcent will likely charge $150+ **** that.

As opposed to Sideshows crazy FedEx and custom fees.

I keep hearing that. It does seem unbelievable to me that no stores outside the US gets figures for decent prices.

Why is that?

 

[a-dev]

Depends where you are in the world. If you're in the US and the only benefit of Timcent is getting things earlier than you otherwise would then I can see why some wouldn't go there. But for us in Ireland its win/win. Getting it earlier and (provided we don't get hit by customs) it's also cheaper than ordering with Sideshow (definitely getting hit with a fedex bill) or from a UK retailer where the exchange rates and their pricing don't work in our favour.

 

[BuGz]

I usually get hit with a £40+ charge at times ftom FedEx. Total rip off.

 

[franpincho]

Well, that's BS. I don't know how you guys do it.

So, what is the price difference (compared to SSC) when buying at a local store? Does the mark up really justify going the HK route?

I'm not judging, just curious.
