Re: Hot Toys "RoboCop (Battle Damaged Ver) & Alex Murphy Collectible Figures Set
Absolutely stunning display. Your restrained approach really pays off in that last shot, one figure per shelf, very nice.
As for what you said, I don't entirely blame you for feeling that way, these things really are expensive now. No matter how few of them you buy the individual cost of a figure does sting. The more money I save the more I want to save and any toy expenditure these days is feeling like an obstacle to that even for stuff that I do want, stuff that fits with the rest of my collection.
What does it say when a guy (me) only gets one or two figures a year and when you do your a little underwhelmed? Maybe I started collecting HT when I was treated with so many DX figures (Sparrow, Indy, DK Joker, JN Joker, DX 10 & DX13) all foam insert, beautiful passages and accessories. Tech Noirs and T-1000 coming with so much all for $170 - $230. BD Robocop is a fantastic figure, just amazing and beautiful and I am so please I own it, however I feel it is nowhere near the $300US ($390CAN) asking price. I just don't see that money in it. And thats where I feel a little turned off. I was looking at my other DX's in my collection and I felt that BD Robocop would have been that much better as a DX. There is a lot of "life" in those DX eyes that would have exceled this figure even more.
BD Robocop is a beautiful figure which makes it the best candidate to say no matter what figure you buy your never ever going to get "your bang for your buck"!!!
Not sure if others feel this way.
Here are some quick images using the regular head (both helmets and all four mouth pieces I bought last December) enjoy.
