MAFEX Robocop 1/12 scale

[dukefett]

Looks to be September 2018 release and ~8000JPY MSRP, so hopefully like $60ish with preorder discounts and good exchange rates. Don't see him up for preorder yet. Looks awesome!

Looks like a miniature Hot Toys MMS202. As such it looks pretty good. Not sure I have any need for a 1:12 scale figure though.

 

[Otomofan]

I don't know. Maybe I'm just too used to the Neca figure, but doesn't he seem too skinny?

It really looks almost exactly like the Figma version that came out about 6 years ago, with the exception that this one has sculpted lips and not just a line of paint for a mouth. At first I thought it was a re-release, cause even the blast effect and optional leg parts are the same.

Having said all that, I have no doubt I'll still end up buying this anyway.

Prototype looks good. We'll see what the final product looks like...

 

[Snake Plissken]

Yet another one without the purplish hue.

Yet another one without the purplish hue.

Yeah. But if Hot Toys and Enterbay couldn't do it I wouldn't expect it from these guys and at this scale.

There is some truth in that, but I honestly wonder if any of these R&D departments in these companies is even aware of it. It looks like in that first photo it's on the kneecaps. But, that's probably photoshop.

Hot Toys only had it slightly on the limbs from what I recall... which begs the question... why even bother?

I like it, although, with most movie figures being 7" because NECA, it's gonna be weird having this one at 1:12.

it will fit Neca's midget predators scale.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

YES!!!! I’ll take two please! Hopefully they also do a BF version with a Murphy headsculpt like Hot Toys.

 

[GasparZizou]

Looks like it was the purple hue, 1:12 confirmed superior scale, 1/6th BTFO!

It's gonna look amazing in pics with moody lighting.

Maybe...it's Mafex.

I'm sure the metal color and sculpt will be fine. The human face....

 

[GasparZizou]

It's my only concern.

 

[GasparZizou]

I wonder if there's likeness under the faceplate...

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I wonder if there's likeness under the faceplate...

I doubt it, but the mouth and lower face clearly looks like the actor...even at such a small scale. The Neca version, although good, doesn't look like the actor.

 

[GasparZizou]

I don't know, the 2001 astronauts have no likeness and they're much cheaper.

But this is the same price as Alex from the Clockwork Orange, which isn't great likeness but I'm guessing they had to pay for it anyway, hence the increased price.

It's a long shot, but hopefully.

Damn, now I want a Murphy figure.

 

[Plastic Bateman]

it will fit Neca's midget predators scale.

Speaking of things from that era, it'd be nice if someone could make a better T-800 endoskeleton than Neca's offerings, ideally in 1/12 scale so it fits in with other lines of figures.

Isn't Alex over $200? He's a 12 inch figure...I think.
