I think thats wishful thinking. A 1:4 scale ED-209 would probably just be too big for many people. They don't just aim these things at guys on forums.

Why u being such a downer?
Is it because u don't have space for something like this? Is it because u only collect 7" figures? Is it because u think ur Mr. NECA? IDK but ur coming off as a downer.
NECA has made impressive strides the past 2-3 years. I want to see this company grow and become a force in the collectible industry...the need ground breaking releases like the 19" Preds, Life Size items and something new and fresh like this to get the. To the next level. There is a need for a large, quality and reasonably priced ED-209. NECA could eat Hot Toys lunch if they made this. It would be good for NECA, collectors and the collectible market if this was made in a large scale.
While I understand where ur coming from, no need to be a buzzkill.
This is simply an idea...and ideas my friend, are bullet proof.

Just a point of order, I don't think NECA's business model includes competing with Hot Toys. Two different leagues altogether.

This is the problem. In Accesories, Facesculpting and Paintjobs Neca some things inprove. And with the better prices(HT and Sideshow are simply overpriced) a good company for fans and collectors. At the moment are low end and high end exists, but what is with the big gap between this ?

If this is released in 1/6 scale I'll get one to go with my 12 inch mcfarlane battle damaged robocop.
It could happen as they did the 1/4 scale preds and I'm sure they get alot of sales if they sold in the same price bracket (60 to 100 pounds)

You should fill in this gap and then you can make collectibles exactly the way you want them! ;-)

Agreed, however NECA kicked Hot Toys *** with their 19" Preds. Why wouldn't they do it with ED-209?

A 1/4 ED-209 would be much bigger than 18" Preds and take up a significant amount if shelf space per box. I doubt many retailers would go for that. There's always the forthcoming NECA DIRECT outlet, though, which would probably be the only viable avenue (or online retailers only, like with the trophy wall).
I'm sorry man, you're right. I was being one of those sorts just then.
Thats the point I was making but I wouldn't object to it being done. Certainly at a NECA pricepoint it would be easier for a collector to stomach.

Sadly, I have not the money to make a company and in my land this is not very possible to make.
The most companys are from the USA or Asia.

This is the ED 209 I've wanted since 1987. It looks freaking perfect!!
Not only was the Hot Toys one simply too big, it was not accurate. And yeah, they might fix the problems on the upcoming version if it ever sees the light of day, but it's still gonna cost half a grand and take up like 3 cubic feet of shelf space.
The Robocop and the Ultra Police ED was too cartoony. A nice toy, and it fits in with that late 80s toy line, but it was not the monster we saw in the movie.
I got the Horizon kit and that had the best sculpt I'd ever seen. It's still sitting in my closet, all white unpainted vinyl. I don't have the skills to do it right, and I never had the nerve to try. Why ruin it?
I'm thinking this NECA one will be close in size to the old Horizon model. Should fit in perfectly with the old McF toy just as welll as the current Neca Robo.
Right now the best ED I have is the 2006 Kotobukiya version. But it's TINY. And like I said...Hot Toys is too big.
This one is gonna be juuuuuuuust right.

If they are going for ED 209 we must have a CAIN/Robocop 2 too.
Cant get enough Neca!

I'd be up for a BD variant of ED-209 aswell NECA.
I'd totally get like 2 of these if they are 1/4 scale and cost $50 bucks each. I'll place them in front as a door guard.
