Hot Toys RoboCop Project 2012

[Reinhardt]

Ofcourse I would love the whole kitchen sink for this new release of Robo (even though I was against it earlier on - I'm just fed up of all the milking Hot Toys is doing), but who am I kidding, it's Robocop.

However, as awesome as he looks helmet-less, I would still display him with his helmet most of the time... unless I picked up 2 figures (with the 2nd one coming free) so if I am able to save a few bucks with them not providing that, I am OK. It would be nice if they provide a detailed diorama though.

I like the inclusion of different facial expressions. Let's hope they pick some good ones.

And I really like your idea of a pre-Robo Murphy.

I actually think its going to be two different heads. One PERS head without the helmet. One helmeted head with interchangeable faces. It's a DX. It better be premium!!

NECA wasn't able to get Weller's likeness. I'm not expecting Hot Toys to have it.

Even tho I think that it sounds really stupid... I can't disagree

NECA isn't able to get Schwarzenegger's likeness rights for Dutch. Hot Toys have it.

Checkmate.

Honestly, PERS on this would be a waste. Why does everyone want PERS all of a sudden?

Have they tried? Because from what NECA has said it sounds like Dutch has a good chance of being made in the future.

I don't have a RoboCop yet, so I just want the best 1/6 or 1/4 classic Robo—with helmet on—that I can get without paying $400 or more trying to snag one on the Bay!

Well the 1/4 scale from Enterbay will likely cost at least $400 right out the gate - considering the T-800 was $399

Well, for a 1/4 scale statue I just might be able to swing $400 (but no more) if it's a very good Robo.

 

[a-dev]

I believe (and personally hope) the Enterbay 1/4 scale is to be a poseable action figure rather than a statue...

 

[Sachiel]

Dead or Alive... wait those aren't release dates.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Just come on with the specs already! I check this thread every day, and I'm ready to throw my money at you, Hot Toys!

People have been ready to throw their money at things announced way before this.

 

[RIDDICK]

Dead or Alive...

You said it.

We shall see. I have kind of an issue w/plastic figures in general because they're, well... plastic, and they look stiff and unnatural—more like toys. But since this is a robot, stiff-looking with limited range of motion in "reality," this is somewhat less of a factor for me in this case. However, I do hope it will be polystone and not plastic. Doesn't 1/4 scale suggest that it would likely be a limited articulation polystone statue like the 1/4 scale SS version?

Apparently there is to be metal if that makes any difference to you, not sure how much of it though. As to your last question, 1/4 scale no longer necessarily means polystone - not since the Enterbay T-800 which is a high-end 1/4 scale action figure.

 

[DiFabio]

If Hot Toys can convince Jack Nicholson and Warner Bros. to license off Nicholson's likeness, I don't see how they couldn't obtain Weller's.

Hell, NECA was able to score Michael Biehn's license for Reese and Hicks and that was considered quite an unreachable likeness for years.

I would likely get this even if it were plastic, especially if it had metal(?). I don't buy a high quantity of statues/figs at all, so I could make a sacrifice of sorts for this if it turns out high quality. I just hope it happens in this lifetime.

soooo...there's been no official word on a release date? hell, we may see this in 2014

 

[Centurion]

I could use a 1/6 Robocain.
