Don't know if it was posted. Here's some shots to give an idea of the articulation.

While this is sure to please and amaze, especially with the hidden holster, the elbow articulation seems to be just as restricted as the McFarlane one, in that it looks to only bend to 90 degrees.

But the question is how far could the actor bend his elbow in the suit? I think I'm okay with restricted articulation since Robocop was not hopping and jumping all over the place. A small loss of articulation for the aesthetic gain is a fair trade... because IMO that figure is amazing, especially considering thats production

If this figure is based on the original suit used in the film, then I'd expect it to have the same articulation. I'm sure the suit used in the film restricked Peter Wellers articulation!

I've got to say that I'll be displaying mine with the helmet on!

Yeah, the unhelmeted looks a bit weak... but you never know in person it could be better. But I always felt he looked best with the helmet on... so that would be the one I'd prefer if I could only have one look.

I think Peter Weller had a lot of room for movement in the suit. It's just that materials used to achieve that wouldn't work for an affordable 1/6 scale figure. I also think they didn't worry about the longevity of the suit so used material that would eventually fall apart but would allow enough movement just for filming.
For an action figure, it has a large enough range of articulation for me.

Thanks for the link. I was fearful that it may end up being a glorifed statue like McFarlane's figures, but I preordered it anyway!
Here's hoping I could pose this one like it was suffering from a Directive Four error!

That'll be one of the first poses I try...especially when he draws his weapon on Jones while going through "shutdown"

As for McFarlane, I think the battle-damaged McF 12 inch would look good posed with HT's ED-209.
