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

[olbertfrog]

Because properties matter. Because licenses matter. Because the RoboCop 3 license was cheaper to obtain than RoboCop's. But that didn't stop Bill, now, did it?

That Enterbay chooses to act this way - dishonestly and unprofessionally - may be one of the reasons why it's on life support.

Wasnt aware they are on Life support. Sucks for them.
I could not care less about the way they do things, as long as i get a figure i like.
I respect that you do.

 

[Eamon]

So Enterbay = Art Figures? Wait...you may be right!

Who's going to still be around in five years? Hard to say....

So what? What point are you trying to score here exactly?

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Or the thousands of Joker made:

Sculpts
Socks
Watches
Gloves
More head sculpts
And more head sculpts
And even more head sculpts
Kato


Screw licenses. People do what they want. At least EB does it in a sneaky way.

That's not really something to be celebrated.

do you think the heavy armored cop is a judge dread figure?

Why should Enterbay do business the same way Art Figures does? One is a fly-by-night operation and the other is Art Figures.

Congratulations! You may own one of the last, if not THE LAST, Enterbay movie-related figure. It's not all bad, though. Think of the resale value!

So your argument is based on the 'morality' of a company? Not the actual figure?

If that's teh case then I won't argue with you as each to their own on that front....just hope you don't have any illegal downloaded music or pay for Spotify.

Are you comparing the two companies? Maybe AF should've done what EB did and thrown in a Stallone head. Just because.

Not trying to single out EB specifically. We all know HT used to do some sneaky, unlicensed **** too. But that was years ago. This EB Robo came out a year or so ago. Why not pay for the RoboCop license and do the PW head? Then it'd be able to pull out the trump card over the HT.

no, I'm asking you if you think its a dread figure even though the box doesn't call it that
Absolutely nothing to do with the companies

Not a proper Dredd figure, no, face isn't really Urban's. Plus that plug on top of his head, sheesh. I guess it's the best you can do, all things considered. Congrats to everyone who got him!

 

[franpincho]

Gotta give it to Yankee. His whole" but only what's legal" point of view is admirable, while hard t believe. Who doesn't DL movies? Shows? Music? Idk.

I personally don't give a ****.

More than any other line, I'm a Transformer fan. Sadly, Takara doesn't make every single iconic character we fans want, so we need to do the whole third party stuff.

 

[Eamon]

I am still not getting it.

If you're Enterbay and you're gonna go all Black Hat, why not do a Peter Weller head? Wrap that ****er up in plastic. No one will ever know.

If you're not going to pay for licenses, then get out of the game. What's next, "Marcus Jordin?" It speaks to the overall health of a company.

And last I checked, none of us were "reputable" companies cranking out "licensed" product. What we do and what they do is apples and oranges.

 

[olbertfrog]

I would have loved that EB went all the way but a PW would have been hard to let go for MGM.
The suits probably know **** about the movie details like the mouth plates but a full PW sculpt would have been too obvious.
Now some made some comparaison and it showed that the Burke hs was actually dome kind of mash up better him and PW.

About dredd.
Who care about the whole Face, that is never seen, since the Chin does look like Urbans wich is the main goal.
As for the plug on the Head well it serves its purpose and can be cut.
Artistic impression guy is as close as it Will ever get.

But i get your point... Not really... Yu crazy

A solid retort. Well done, as always!

One thing i do love about your post mate is that i get to see a signature and avatar from one of my favorite director.
And i imagine you screaming like a drill instructor lol

Wait until I unscrew your head and....

Well, at least we can agree on that. Kubrick was one of the best, if not THE best.

but it is a dread figure. We could debate its screen and sculpt accuracy but there is little doubt who the character is, regardless of what the box says.
if you are saying that the character is not dread, i would be willing to bet that you would be by yourself in that opinion(well, other than popcollector)

You're not trying to draw a parallel between that figure and the EB Robo, are you? That no matter what it says, it's really a RoboCop and not a BurkeCop?

That doesn't gibe to me, because you're paying for it, all of it. The RoboCop 3 box, the Burke head, the gun arm, the jet pack, everything.

They're not free, they're essentially consolation prizes to justify, or at least try to justify, its considerable cost. And they're meant to distract you from the fact that you're not getting a Weller head or proper RC1 battle-damaged pieces.

 

[Vortex]

Man..if only HT would have painted it like the proto..

lol, lets get one thing clear. I do not regret spending the $$$ on my 1/4 robo. I bought it knowing there were weller mouth scultps.period. I havent even taken anything else out of the box except for the robocop 2 battle damaged helmet. Do you think its a robocop 2 damaged head even though it says robocop 3 on the box?
