Re: Hot Toys "RoboCop (Battle Damaged Ver) & Alex Murphy Collectible Figures Set
Thanks. Pretty much a foregone conclusion that I'll enjoy this one. Watching Clipper's excellent review in another window and I agree with every word so far.
My only wonder now is - considering the paintjob difference between the MMS202 and this figure, does the headswap using the BD helmet of the earlier release look a bit odd - it looks shinier and cleaner atop this full BD body in the video, possibly not a great match.

Yep I didn't really like that look when Clipper put the semi BD head sculpt onto the full BD figure as you could really see the difference in the paint job on both figures.
The original HT Robocop paint job error has not really bothered me up to know but once I have it next to the fully BD Robocop then that's when I will moan like a *****. Still at least we will have Robocop in our collections I guess.

yeah one might want to try buying and extra head with bd helm, then try and repaint it to match up with the bd figure.

Curse my lack of painting know-how. Could maybe try adding my own wear to the helmet but I'm not sure that'd do the job plus it'd necessitate buying another BD helmet piece so as to keep my other one's in stock condition.

Well, I'll do the swap myself tomorrow and see what it looks like. I'm almost hoping, with the paint difference, it just doesn't work at all. That way I could abandon the idea altogether and not spend any more money.

Yeah I was thinkin the same thing myself the paintjob on the regular diecast version just looks too shiny with the bd head on top. Its very offputting when you view it. For this reason I'm glad I didn't pick up the original and waited for the set as its much more accurate to the movie paintwise.

Re: Hot Toys "RoboCop (Battle Damaged Ver) & Alex Murphy Collectible Figures Set
Just finished.
Yeah, another good point about the human gun-holding hands. They never look right on Hot Toys figures, particularly with pistols/small handguns and this is no exception unfortunately. They're too big, and always recycled rather than being newly sculpted to be fully suitable with a given weapon.
Another honest and awesome review from the ClipperKing! Thanks, Ric!

Re: Hot Toys "RoboCop (Battle Damaged Ver) & Alex Murphy Collectible Figures Set
Yeah, you're not the only one. The semi-battle damaged head from the regular die cast doesn't look right on the battle damaged version. It's not just the helmet, but the ultra shiny black neck and collar pieces too. Guess it makes sense though, he didn't get completely wrecked until he went down stairs in the garage.

Fantastic on the one hand that they physically enabled the headswap to be done and yet a shame on the other that the underlying colour of the two figures doesn't match (with obviously the MMS202 being the one that got it wrong)

Does anyone know if DarkSpidey is interested in doing movie-accurate RC1 custom paintwork? If so, how many of you fellas would be interested?
I only ask because the paintjob on the clean figure is simply unacceptable. I don't know if DarkSpidey has a history of custom work or if this is even possible, but if there's enough interest and he wants to do it, then maybe we can make something happen.

I wouldn't really fancy sending off a complete figure to be repainted. A headsculpt is one thing....

Just paid the outstanding balance on mine with CollectiblesDirect but they won't have it in hand for a few months. I refuse to pay over the odds to have it early tho.

I'd defo be interested in getting a RC1 paint job for my RoboCop if Dark_Spidey was willing.

though it won't help you without an extra head anyway
i'll end up with too many helmets that i don't need, could ship you one for shipping price only.

Re: Hot Toys "RoboCop (Battle Damaged Ver) & Alex Murphy Collectible Figures Set
If I found out tomorrow that I still want to go ahead with this extra figure I might just take you up on that, thanks for the offer.
