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

[Mr Walker]

I'd love it, but what makes you think they'd get the paint from RoboCop 2 more accurately than the first? Genuine question, not disputing anything

It'd probably be not blue enough for R2, but perfect for the original!

Your MOM was available for our viewing pleasure in 2013! Actually yeah, that's a very good point. The prototype was pretty silver too, but the product photographer did what OMG did and lit it blue.

same reason I'm getting the imperfect ht version, because robocop is awesome and these are the best robos to date

Exactly, I think they knew making it all about the third film would limit the appeal, but putting one Weller faceplate, the spike and an R2 helmet in the wrong hue is nothing compared to the jetpack and full headsculpt for 3. It also had some sloppy QC issues for a figure at that price point, imho. An impressive piece, if one didn't have to spend money on it imho

I was hesitant about the EB price tag but bit the bullet anyways. No regret for me at all after having it in hand. I'm getting the HT one too but the truth is the 1/4 scale is impressive and the EB sculpt is spot on. Until you have seen one in real life you shouldn't be quick to dismiss it.

Imagine the price

RoboCain will cost at least $500, probably closer to $600 or more ($700 if HT adds a diecast part or two). It'll have tons of articulation, light-up features galore and a removeable brain, but Cain's face will be a sticker.

This is the lowest lighting Clipper ever gets the figure in.

 

[5x10]

I'm just talking about the balance of accessories being something of a compromise compared to the HT going all Weller. If someone gave me an EB Robo, I'd be over the moon and sod the accessories... but I couldn't justify the price, given the niggles. But that's what we're all here for right, to work out our niggle levels

I think it has something to do with having the rights to weller
From what I understand, eb does not have the weller rights, hence the robo 3 version(with weller mouth plates)


And if ht makes Cain, I don't see how they will get him to stand on those tiny feet
Cain is so top heavy

I think the EB one looks better than that shot in any light condition...the HT looks very chrome...but I will reserve final judgement when I have it in hand...

HT could do what it's done with the Rhino prototype on display at cons - a plastic piece between the legs.

the eb version is more gray than the shiny silver the ht looks to be

True, I think 3zero did it with their 2013 ed209s too

 

[YankeesFanboy]

The Chronicle piece is nice, but isn't it essentially a statue from the waist down?

My guess is they provide some special claw stand.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

They're not fully articulated figures. Nor are they cheap. But what they are (so far; Cain and ED-209) is unquestionably 100% movie accurate. Only problem is they are making a model of the effects RoboCop, not of Weller in costume, if you see the difference

Yeah, they're based off of the movie puppets and the RoboCain costs well over $1,000. I'll wait for HT's offering.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

There's no elaborate paint finishes to worry about there at least. But there are a ton of intricate little parts. If HT are smart, they'll get a Chronicle, take it to bits and make their own as close to a moving version of it as possible.

Do we know they're actually doing anything beyond the unmasked original RoboCop? I've no problem speculating, just wondering if I missed a concrete fact that they'd be doing anything further?

I think a few pages back, DiFabio said HT was developing its own RoboCain. I think HT will eventually tackle R2, but we may not see protos for at least a few more years, if that soon.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

I found this on Flickr, don't know if this is the figure on display at Secret Base. It must have been early in the figure's development because it doesn't have those little bits beneath the shoulder rings. I like the way he looks here.

I would rather have a 1/4 hot toys robo over Cain

I can see HT doing this, if/when EB's 1/4-scale license expires.

Just saw on fb Robocop only has been released without the chair.

It's been 3 posts with no mention of the paint. Is everyone happy with it now?

Never!

Crap, I want a RoboCain. HT could do the upper body in plastic and the lower body in diecast to help with stability.
