Whats wrong with the EB hands exactly? I think their fine. Especially since they are sculpted unlike Hot Toys hands.
Plus in the movie, Robocop's gloves had that flat black rough texture look to it.

-not able to articulate since each finger is connected to the hand via a little joint, the fingers themselves don't bend well and snap back into place if you try to bend them
-the fingers do not stay in at all if you try to move them, the joints are terrible
The forearm bar(which has the ball on the end) is too short. This makes the hand fall off very easily but, it's flush and looks good
Just feels like a very cheap solution to a $500+ figure

Well, couldn't help myself. I had an aluminum paint laying around I felt matched the ht color fairly well. Did a quick shot of it over a 8th scale barrel. I diluted gray acrylic with alcohol hoping to make it somewhat transparent. Did a harder spray to the right making it lighter to the left. Meh, it's a first attempt and wasn't quite transparent enough but you still get some of the silver peeking through. I think it would look far better in a seriously transparent color or candy.
Same basic lighting, no changes other than an over spray.

The mouth plate on this first pic, really looks like a real person, really shows off how good the Weller sculpt is, the second is to bright and fades away some of that charm that was in the first pic, thanks for the shots Skull
Excellent shots Pete. Amazing how much different the armor looks under different lighting.
That's all it comes down to boys, with this figure as in the movie, it looks completely different depending on lighting, its an unusual paint job, never owned anything quite like it. I really like the figure, hot toys did a real nice job with Robocop, glad to have it

But you know no one wants a green one, and that its a "moot" point to even bring it up. Or so I've been told

Where are you when I need you Skull? I try to point out that lighting is what made the armor so great in the film but I'm glad you provide reference too.

The thing is most people want what they see on screen when it's in hand. Not what it "could look like" with half a dozen leds on it shoved in the darkest corner of the room. 
Then again, maybe thats just me.

Looks like a duller level of paint, and has a gloss coating on it. We got neither on the figure sadly.
I hope they improve on the BD version.

Ahhh, the age old Enterbay Vs Hot Toys. I remember when it all first started, I think it was the Godfather figures, then the T-800's and now the great Robocop debacle. I say buy what you like and be happy, there's more than enough reviews, photos, and comparisons to have made an educated choice by now. If you still can't figure it out what you like now I don't know what could convince you
I think both are nice figures, with the Enterbay you get a giant figure with motorized holster and head, bunch of robo 3 stuff like a jet pack and unmasked Robert Burke head sculpt.
With Hot Toys you get a diecast talking Robocop 1 with a docking chair if you went that route.
Quality wise I would say Hot Toys wins, I haven't heard the best things about Enterbay, with the hands that fall apart and various malfunctions of the motorized gimmicks.
Nice shooting, son.
That's it in a nutshell. Who wins? Who decides which one is better? You do! Unless you buy both, you're gonna buy the Robo you think is the best.

Right! But...
For the figure to accurately reflect what we see in the film, it'd need a paint job that would react strongly to its light source and environment, just as the suit did in the movie. In that regard I think Hot Toys did a fine job, the only issue being that it's just too bright! But, it's still niceNot what it "could look like" with half a dozen leds on it shoved in the darkest corner of the room.
Here's Robocop when we see him in broad daylight (not from the 4k remastered blu-ray); pretty shiny!

Long story short, I think everyone agrees we'd all be happy if we'd gotten figures that looked like the prototype!Similar threads
