Official Battle Damaged ED-209 Image thread?

[metaphorge]

Am I the only Freak that got one of these?

(I'll have pictures in the next day or so....)

Probably... How do you like it?

 

[metaphorge]

I love it, though I am considering adding some texture to the "bulletholes" on the chassis (except for the destroyed gun arm, all the battle damage is done through paint applications). I'll probably add a regular ED-209 (or two... ED-209s make good "generic" baddies for superheroes or futuristic soldiers in my book) to my collection down the road, but I'm really pleased with the battle damaged version thus far.

At first I thought someone had dug up the old thread only to see somebody started a new one. Dave should delete this one. We already have an official ED-209 thread. Use the Search button. Thank you.

You don't, however, have a BATTLE DAMAGED ED-209 Image thread. Read more carefully before you respond. Thank you.

(I realize there's something to be said for ridiculously long mega-threads, but it seems pretty normal for distinct, newly released products to get their own separate image threads as well, especially when the thread on the NON-BATTLE DAMAGED version has received no responses for two and a half months. Popping it back up seems like thread necromancy)

Please forgive the lame backdrop; I'm in kind of a hurry tonight and this thing is BIG, so it will take a bit of effort to clear out a space with an interesting backdrop to photograph it....

Kind of a bummer that HT went the rout of just painting on battle damage.

I would have that they would have gone a bit further with it.

Oh well, it still looks cool.

Yeah, though the smashed arm alone is worth it to me. I'm sure that it was cost progibitive to retool all the other parts for the relatively small edition size of this piece.

No reason why these can't be posted in the Official ED209 thread unless of course Dave would like to, ahem, make that new forum.

Po-TAY-to, po-TAH-to.

I'd be fine with new forum myself, of course.... ;D

I like it. Granted I plan to do some customization work on it to make the battle damage more than just flat deco. For $100 I say grab one, especially if you don't have the first ED-209.

 

[Vader AL]

thanks for your thoughts. if he available in the morning i might bite. i like the first ED more but for $100, tough choice.

Is anyone here looking for the original version?
My friend has one for sale.

If interested, just PM me.

$100?

LOL.
I wish that was the case. It's more like actual cost (what he paid for it) + shipping.

 

[Vader AL]

well i ended up getting the battled damaged ED that was $100. Thanks to DarkShadow collectibles!

btw i typed in "robobcop ed-209 pics" into Google and on the second page looked what popped up. this guy has a future in used car commercials.

well the bad boy arrived today and i must say I am highly impressed! i wanted the undamaged version but for $100(and $5 shipping) couldn't pass up this one. i can't imagine how incredible the power loader is going be with their Aliens line. of course now the problem is....where to put him! i haven't been this impressed with a 1:6 creation since Jabba and his thrown. hats off to Hot Toys. now to find a Robo 1.
