[The Skull]

Might be in for it if the movies good, no way it will compare to the classic but hopefully its still enjoyable.

 

[Wanderer]

Yeah the v1 suit looks good and a reasonable update but just don't like that rubbery looking black
Version

 

[Wah]

depending on how the movie turns out, i wouldn't mind getting this figure. i actually think it looks pretty cool.

 

[Deckard]

With everything working against this movie the way it is, all the doubt, they chose to release this clip to "calm" those fears.



He has his visor up, he can feel pain and has human parts, he dual wields guns, takes cover and has no robotic movement what-so-ever, and the music sounds like it's from Kid Bops 14. I think it's time to stop holding out hope that it's going to somehow be good.

 

[a-dev]

I was a semi-optimist. That clip sent me right back into pessimism territory. Bravo. It was like a videogame cut-scene.

Won't be touching merchandise from this film with a bargepole.

 

[Wanderer]

Some folk say the original was flawed, overrated etc etc but it had so many layers and nuances to it making it an epic classic in my books.
They've deconstructed the original, put it through a grinder and slapped it together using **** as glue.
Again too early to properly judge obviously and FairPlay from deviating from the source material quite considerably but it begs the question, why the hell call it robocop? Robocop it ain't.
The V1 suit is still quite nicely designed though and in terms of the figure, I'd probably pull the trigger.

Funny, as I was reading that I thought you were saying that it's going to be good - until the last line. Some people hate change and/or improvements.

 

[Sachiel]

There are improvements?

 

[Mr Walker]

Not seeing any improvements so far.

I do like the new ED design though.

Well - that's an improvement then.

Watching that clip, ugh. I'm really not so much against a remake. I just really don't like the creative decisions. Robo looks and moves like its a outfit not a robot body. I also strongly dislike leaving the human hand. Looks incredibly fragile and a liability in battle.

 

[jrice73]

That's ain't Robocop. The way he moves is not the Robocop we know. It is like a suit of body armor then an actual machine with gears, wires, cables, pistons, machinery. And the music completely throws off any connections whatsoever with the original films and Basil Pouledaris's fabulous score. This is Robocop in Name Only--RINO like Godzilla in Name Only--GINO.

 

[Khev]

Some people hate change and/or improvements.

What have you seen that looks like an improvement over any element of the original? Not a loaded question, I'm genuinely curious.

 

[a-dev]

Yeah, I wanna know aswell

 

[olbertfrog]

The v1 looks cool, i might get it.
Nice to see another high quality manufacturer in the game.

 

[Darklord Dave]

There's a certain clunky charm to the original - but it's not a great film. I like the designs of the new film, the actors are excellent and they seem to have updated the satire of the original. It just looks like people are prepared to hate it because it's a reimagining of a beloved movie.

Like I said Im not hating because its a remake. Sometimes remakes are great. I really dislike the creative decisions I have seen so far. Im sure Michael Keaton will be great and steal every scene He's in.

There is no getting around that in no way does it looks like a Robot body. It looks like a suit it also moves too human like. A good way to show it was a android body would of been to exaggerate the precision in the movements. Just a little would of helped. It wouldn't of needed to be as exaggerated as the original.

The hand! and the hand lol I'm cringing. Wasn't there a joke in the original where someone is like we can save the arm or leg and they say to get rid of it?

 

[Ataricade]

Haha I love Clooney.


here it is. the new movie needs this scene


Tyler: [while creating RoboCop] We were able to save the left arm.

Bob Morton: What? I thought we agreed on total body prosthesis, now lose the arm okay!

Tyler: Jesus, Morton!
[snaps his finger at RoboCop]

Bob Morton: Can he understand what I'm saying?

Roosevelt: Doesn't matter, we're gonna blank his memory anyway.

Bob Morton: I think we should lose the arm, what do you think Johnson?

Johnson: Well he signed a release form when he joined the force. He's legally dead. We can do pretty much what we want to him.

Bob Morton: Lose the arm.

Tyler: Shut him down, prep him for surgery.
