RoboCop2 is definitely not on the same level as 1. it got a bit cartoony in parts, and some of the characterisation was clumsy and simplistic (eg: the black mayor, old man johnson). most importantly it lost the razor-sharp satirical slant and verhoeven's commentary on corporate america, as well as his uniquely european view of americana. even the ultra-violence was a knowing wink at violence in hollywood films.
but having said all that, i really think part 2 is a solid robo movie. what i liked about it was the theme of murphy losing his humanity. it was a nice progression from the first film, where it was hanging by a thread. the sequel examined what it was like to be aware of your own humanity yet have it forcibly stripped away from you. murphy had to fight the "machine" in more ways than one. it wasn't exactly profound stuff, but i felt it gave the character a depth.
then there is Cain. hands down one of my favourite robot designs ever. that thing is badass to the core.
needless to say i cannot wait to see what hot toys is doing with him...

what i liked in Robocop 2 as well was the UC-M21. it looks like a plastic toy but with real bullets, one of my dream toy as a kid.

I won't auction on eBay anymore, I always put them up Buy It Now & I never get a problem. The last 3 times I just got completely messed around. The last winning bidder I got, sent me an email to tell me that he'll come to my house & pick it up & pay cash & that he wanted a £40 discount? What the ____? After I clearly stated on description, Paypal only, no pick up & no offers. Theres more but anyway's, no more auctions.

Can’t wait for the new Robo, and CAIN! 
I’m a bit worried about the fragile-looking legs on Cain though. But he's still one of my fav robot designs, and I’d pick one up in a heartbeat.
Having a "Robocop2" in the collection will be like a dream come true. Really looking forward to any diorama bases these figures may get. Maybe Cain will have a "New Detroit City" diorama with buildings, like in the scene where he was publically first introduced. Or something like in the scene where he emerges from the ground.
Any guesses what the "exclusive" version (if any) of Cain will get? Brain with eyes in the glass tube?
Need more info, Hot Toys! @_@

Planning on Murphy, Boddicker & maybe Cain (depending on price & timing)
