Ouch. It's unlikely you'll find any loose parts but not all is lost, you can send it to a professional and they can drill a nail to fix the joint.

How did it fell? Was it not secured by the stand?
I bumped really hard into the shelving where I have some figures on display. So hard actually that I thought for a second that I knocked over the whole thing. Only two things fell, Robocop and a Lego AT-AT, which my girlfriend put back together as I was sulking.

The biggest problem is that I live in Argentina, the chances of finding someone who could repair the figure are practically non-existant.
 
I just bought one of these from eBay had it when it originally came out but sold it on.
, was always hoping hot toys would do robocop 2 version. Looking forward to Havin it back in the collection though, great figure
 
It's a difficult repair for sure. Just gluing it won't be strong enough. You should be able to pull the ball end out of the leg with some pliers. Removing the hip end, would require removing the outer panels (they look glued on) and unscrewing the front and back halves of the crotch area. Once you have both ends out, you should be able to drill a hole in each face. Insert and glue a short length of metal rod into both parts as you glue them together. As this part is not straight, it will be necessary to bend the metal rod to match the angle.

Alternatively, it should be possible to 3D print a replacement part if you know someone good at that sort of thing. I hope you are able to get it sorted.

Congrats on the pickup!

I'm proposing a Collector Freaks Quarterly Check Up on this figure as I have a feeling he's one to keep an eye out for issues-- mainly the ball joints, rubber sleeves, crotch grabber contact, and butt contact (if you have him seated). Now go forth and inspect your figure!

I'll go first, I have 3 Robos and one the clear plastic neck joints came off for no reason, thankfully it was a matter of regluing it but from here on out I'll pose him less.

This is a great idea.

I got the two HT figures when they first came out and zero issues with anything - rubber, contact points, joints.
 
Good to know guys. This is definitely one figure you have to constantly check at least twice a year. The limbs are held by weak ball joints made of clear plastic and doesn't help that it's partially diecast. His head is held by a ball joint that was cheaply glued on, his ankles can give way with time due to bearing most of the weight, there's rubber in the elbows and knees that could tear if it's too dry and his darn butt and crotch are extremely susceptible to contact damage with his stand or chair.
