nice posing with robocop!
Thanks you!! Great figure. Purchased the BD only but bought regular head (both helmets and all face plates) on ebay so I could have the best of both worlds!
What was great about that is that we didn't even know at the time that you'd actually be able to use the MMS202 head on the full BD figure. You bought that head thinking it was only to sit on the shelf beside the BD figure, correct?
Reall wanting to get this BDRobo but Ive seen a lot with super wonky eyes. Is this a problem for many of them or just a few?
^ this. Outstanding set of figures.Regular Robo + BD Robo = two favorite figures ever
Regular Robo + BD Robo = two favorite figures ever
Here are a few shots of my helmeted, post-ED209 Robocop. The helmet is weathered to match the rest of the body. Was too cheap to buy another head/neck/collar off eBay, so I made casts of these parts from the original. They're cast in black resin and also weathered to match the black abdomen and hands.

This looks totally badass..
I'd like to buy a battle damaged body to use with the broken helmet that comes with the regular version, but it looks that the painting is a lot different, right?
I've never repainted big parts of a figure, so I think that if I'll try it would be a disaster.. Is there something simple and fast that I can do to make the helmet/armor painting similar?

Tamiya do weathering pastel sets that would be perfect for the damage on the helmet in matching it up to the body.

For anyone who's interested, weathering the helmet isn't too difficult if you want to give it a go. To recreate the fine mist of soot/grime, I used watered down dark grey matte acrylic paint. Dip a toothbrush into the paint and flick the bristles with your finger onto a piece of paper until you get a VERY fine mist. Once it's fine enough, flick the paint onto the helmet from about 5 inches away. If you get any big splatter spots they can be easily dabbed off with your finger.
I then applied the rusty brown tint by using matte brown acrylic paint straight from the bottle (i.e. NOT watered down). Dip your paint brush into the paint and rub the brush onto a paper towel until there is basically no paint left on the brush. Then dry brush the entire helmet. Add more tint in certain areas as desired, but also make sure to dry brush the ENTIRE helmet; the thin layer of matte paint will make the finish on the helmet match the matte finish of the body.
Also, there's pretty much NO SKILL or proper technique involved when dry brushing the paint on. Just basically move the brush around like you're coloring with a crayon. If you use full strength paint and have almost no paint in the brush, you will not end up with paint streaks or stroke marks. It'll actually look nice and even, as if you used an airbrush to apply the paint.
Damn, didn't mean to type so much Just wanted to say that the mod is not too difficult if you want to give it a try. Also, it's completely reversible too, since acrylic paint is water soluble and can be easily washed off.
You mean a set like this?
