1/6 Hot Toys: RoboCop - Alex Murphy unmasked (Battle Damaged)

[JediSword]

ED was so terrifying in that movie. A real shame that they wasted all that development on another figure with an instantly rotting dome. A real shame. Oh well.

Yeah man when i was a kid that ED scared the crap out of me, now he's like nothing. Just a big puppy

...when ED rots so much that we will leave only legs and through away all the rest

They thought producing a battle-damaged ED would be too expensive. This way you get both.

Idk which robocop to get! I want one in the collection but unsure between BD & pristine. . That headsculpt is amazing

 

[franpincho]

Anyone here said that HT was going to be looking into this ED 209 situation after the cons.

I really don't know what that means, or what to expect.

 

[Rotfish]

Has HT made any sort of statement about that to anyone besides the usual "we'll take your feedback into consideration?"

Headsculpt is amazing but I'm going with the diecast that is currently available. The iconic pose of him holding his pistol out with other hand back is too good to pass.

Is that the same damaged armour sculpt on both figures?

Between those two appearances doesn't look like Robocop sustained any more chest damage, but his arms and legs got shot up.

Also quite a bit of difference in colour, unless that's just the difference in lighting.

 

[ebor]

Nope, both is the only right choice

Its because his chest represents damage sustained from ED-209, and his legs were shot up by the policemen. Technically this BD version looks like Murphy as he appeared during his unmasking and baby food target practice scenes. Clarence actually opened that gash on the left side of his chest a little more with that metal rod (which is not represented on the HT figure.) So you can give him the Cobra Assault Rifle and bloody data spike to "pretend" that he exists as he appeared during his final OCP building scenes but his body isn't quite dirty, bloody, or damaged enough to be totally accurate to that final particular look.

I think HT achieved the best compromise in giving us the BD look with the most display options.

Thanks for the explanation, Khev.

It's been a while since I saw the film. For much of this thread I've been focussed on head sculpt, and not noticed all the other detail that's gone into the armour.

No problem, definitely pick up the newly remastered blu-ray if you haven't already.

Good idea!

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

I might get the Blu-Ray too, because at the moment I only have the 2DVD special edition set.

Do it man. The quality on the BD copy is phenomenal

Are there more extras too?

Yeah that's the pose I would have him in too. Very iconic. Curious to see if this BD version will come with a helmeted head before I decide though

 

[holtrax]

I'm guessing it won't come with a helmeted head. That only comes with the clean version and would have surely been on display at sdcc if it were going to be included. No matter though coz for me the unmasked version is the version to own.

 

[CollectorGuy]

I don't get why people keep mentioning a helmet for this version, he takes it off at the end anyway for his revenge fight against them.
Would u really want to cover up that hs with a helmet anyway?

More than anything it would be nice to have multiple display options. Without having to buy both. Too hard to decide between em for me

 

[CollectorGuy]

Its simple u get both
