I think the size is perfect, but that's just me. Any bigger would be unwieldy, and smaller is not enough. This is just right!
I complained about the QC before, but I'm still just happy to have this bad boy. Although I am still angry about the broken wires on the left elbow...I tried glue and it didn't hold. Damn.
I just watched the turd the movie studio shat out and called "RoboCop" 2014......ugh.
Reconfirmed the fact that the original ED 209 was one of the most fantastic movie robots of ALL time.
He looked amazing, he was bad-***, he was scary, and he was also a piece of crap that didn't work, just like the cars that Detroit was churning out at the time of the movie.
He malfunctioned cause OCP only cared about how he looked not if he actually worked or not. Just like the producers of the new Robocop movie don't give a toss if the movie is actually any good, just if the effects and action look "cool."
Which they didn't.
The new ED 209 design is a boring, soulless rip off of every anime mech we've ever seen. NO personality. Nothing memorable or cool about it. It had scenes in the movie but it didn't do a damn thing. It may as well have been a part of the background scenery, like a gun turret on a wall.
The original ED was memorable. He slaughtered that young executive in the most glorious overkill of all time. He also fell down the stairs and whined like a *****. And finally got his butt handed to him when Robo blew him away with a Cobra cannon. And he looked awesome in the movie cause he was REAL. There was a full size prop on the set...actually physically occupying the space. The stop motion puppet was also REAL. It didn't look fake as hell like a shiny CGI cartoon that you KNOW isn't real, is completely weightless, and ruins the viewer's suspension of disbelief.
Original ED 209 for the effing win!!!
