Hello fellow Sideshow Freaks, this is my first post.
Being as big a fan of RoboCop as one can reasonably be (it's my all-time favourite film) and a previous collector of Sideshow Weta LotR and Gentle Giant Collectibles, I was simply blown away by this figure when it was unveiled last year. I've had it on pre-order with Zavvi (UK) since March for £197.99. The wait has been long and we've been thru the ED-209 debacle and subsequent reveal of the jaw dropping BD RoboCop to follow. My guess is we won't be seeing this until at least December. I'd hope the quality control has been very high as that prototype looked perfect and I want the final version to mirror it as much as possible. If it means a longer wait then so be it. 2014 has seen a long needed revival in all things RoboCop related and this piece is a long time coming and I pray they nail the final version.
The one shown at SGTCC recently looked a step back facially and I hope this is not indicative of the final piece.
