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

[mark5677]

Interesting. As I type this Encore HD is running a Robocop "trilogy" marathon and Robocop 1 is called out as being Rated R. However the film includes the locker room nudity from the NC-17 special edition but NONE of the X-rated violence during Kenny's or Murphy's deaths. I wonder if this is a new edit for premium cable?

The r rated cut of the movie has the locker room nudity too. Seen it plenty of times before I owned the unrated cut.

I think the longer cut is more about more gore more blood and more shots fired then anything else... everything that makes a good movie better...

The 2 main additions to the Unrated cut are the additional ED-209 minced meat scene, and extra footage when Murphy is getting blown away (primarily the showing of his hand getting blown off, and the tracking shot when he gets the shot to the head).

Then you missed seeing it on the big screen. Bummer. I actually prefer the R rated edition. Murphy's hand stump and prosthetic head look pretty fake. The theatrical version didn't have those shots.

Heard they might be re-releasing it in theaters 3D, then again that might've been Predator... I forget.

 

[Khev]

I don't see anything about a 3D theatrical re-release, and I doubt the studio would want people to get their "fix" from the original and then not need to see the new one. If the new movie was "RoboCop 4" then I could see the original getting a limited theatrical release to get people up to speed and excited to see the continuing chapter. But since its a reboot I bet they'll want it to have its own limelight.

I'm just hoping the remake prompts them to finally release the original theatrical (R rated) film in high-definition.

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

Pretty sure it's Predator that's getting the 3D retrofit/re-release.

But they'd get my ticket money for a RoboCop re-release, too, if they wanted to do it. Don't care about 3D, but I'd love to see it polished up and in a theater again.

Ok, that sounds right, haha. Sorry for the mistake

Thanks for posting these. What an awesome looking figure!

I wonder what they're saving the Alex Murphy head sculpt for... this version already has battle damaged parts.

Well first of all, they make more money doing it that way.
Second, this version with swappable damaged bits, I assume, is depicting the damage only from the ED-209 fight. The one with the full head sculpt will probably be hella BD Murphy after the DPD fill him full of holes after ED-209 does and after he takes his helmet off. In other words the next release will probably be "steel mill Robo".

Gotcha. Sounds right. Damn you HT!!!

What happened to the spike that comes out of his knuckles? Looks weird now.

Looks like they rounded the tip.

Looks like they rounded the tip.

Ok but why does it look like it has some kind of extension? In the film its a solid spike.

Hell it doesnt even look silver/metal colored, looks like a grey radio antenna lol
