I don't have any preference for the material used on armoured figures, but, I genuinely can't tell the difference between the plastic or die-cast parts on this or the 1/4 endo.
Personally I don't think this figure should be sold as diecast, it's misleading..., I have no problem with mixed media parts but at best all it warrants is a mention of them in the description listing sub points.
Yeah. Like I said before, this figure could have been all plastic and still turn out as awesome, and for maybe $30 less. The full-BD version would be as good a Robo figure as this one (if not better), and it has zero die-cast.
I like the look of it & don't regret ordering it, agree though that it could've been all plastic..., no need for diecast at all really.
Bravo!
They also didn't bring the rubber far enough back on the shoulder blades, gaps too big in the thigh/groin area, I think the arms should have been attached higher, which would bring the arch of the shoulder/arm above the rings on his collarboneI think the paint is good , but not accurate to ROBOCOP 1. However the movie poster and DVD cover shows being chromeish silver like the HT figure. I am wondering if that's the look they were going for , polished silver / chrome look / style . Maybe it might have been too difficult to get them all looking the same as the blue mists might differ to each one and then of course us Sideshowfreaks would ***** and moan . Looking at Robocop 3 , the colours seem less blueish more silvergreyish . That could also have been the look . Is this better than the enterbay one ? I don't know the enterbay one looks baddass . Still I have some awesome figures in my collection and this by far seems to be my favourite at the moment , and still brings me back to the 80's . Watching Robocop 1 on blueray looks awesome . Its a little outdated now , but in blueray I do appreciate the film better. I have this weird habit of when I get a new figure I watch the blue ray movie for like two weeks nearly everyday just so I can compare accuracy . I did notice the collar isn't accurate to the movie , as there are two separate lines at the centre of the collar . ( where it joins the chest to the back ) . on the HT figure its missing . that's about the only thing I noticed aside from the paint . I think the gloves look less glossy in the film .
I've said previously, prob figure of the decade. Apart from the paintjob, absolutely amazing.
Sadly, I cannot get past it BEING THE WRONG FRICKING COLOUR!!!!
Have to say it has kinda killed my buzz aswell, and is contributing reason why I scaled back my collecting plans for the line.
