Re: Hot Toys "RoboCop (Battle Damaged Ver) & Alex Murphy Collectible Figures Set

that "blue paint" must be leaking liquid and looks absolutely intended.

It's possibly a lighting issue where it had to be blue in order to reproduce a slightly different colour when filmed.
There has been fan contention on Star Wars models for years with the TIE Fighters. The models were painted a dark blue but when filmed under bright lights against blue screen, they appear white. So what is accurate when reproducing a studio scale TIE Fighter? The blue it was painted and is shown clearly in behind the scenes images and footage? Or the white it appeared to be onscreen?
Its all good, and in the above image, it's probably a different colour than how it would appear onscreen anyway.

i don't have any problem with blue liquid going through robocop's mechanisms. or with any other color.

I don't have a problem either.
My point was that a still image might vary wildly from what we see on screen. Just because of lighting issues and what the director of photography has been told the director wants to see on the screen in the final film.

Snagged a bd Robocop for 205€ (~$225) on ebay today. I guess that's a pretty good price for Germany/Europe

I found it in my dads garage, I think it was from some sort of shim plate?

Use a pair of scissors to cut open a Diet Coke can and the trim a piece to shape.

Not a bad idea, although hazardous

I do this all the time to make small metal panels for models. It's easy enough. Honest...

Diet Coke!!!

Call yourself Scottish, what about a good old can of Irn Bru?

We only drink a can of Diet Coke after a King sized Kebab or Fish Supper.

Just a turn of phrase, lol. I normally drink Asda Cherryade or fizzy Vimto!
I just meant diet coke from the pint of view that there are parts of the exterior can that are silver/alu and wouldn't need the colour sanded or stripped off.

no, i meant the initial attack on blue liquid
this:

You know this is one of Hot Toys finest when you see that their final product is WAY better than the stunt suit! (the blue paint--lol)

it was vivid in the movie, too.

I got that. And i agree.

i wanted to say that it disappeared in the second movie... but actually the armor stayed intact in that scene, no holes.

and what i thought to be a black liquid replacement now looks like blood (may be thinned) to me:

Mileage may vary, but it looks like hydraulic fluid to me . . .
