Robocain action figure by three zero

[CAIN MKII]

Epic announcement

 

[Roc74]

HOLY ..... Finally... I hope its 1/6 scale

 

[Centurion]

Awesome!

 

[Mr Walker]

Hey hey hey!

I could be in for this if it turns out epic.

 

[PermaG]

Wonder if this came about due to now having the ability to buy and tear apart CC's Cain.

 

[ChronicleCollectibles]

We're out to MGM on this post....

 

[PermaG]

Not 100% sure what that means...

...as of posting, you guys are heading/talking to MGM about this?


And as usual

What it means is MGM has made a mistake and double licensed the product in the same scale. We are just seeking clarity on what's going on, because honestly we don't know yet.

 

[El Mule]

Is it possible that they used the different label (statue vs action figure) as a way to grant licensing?
Also, I thought that an accurate 1:6 posable Cain would have been too ridicolously expensive to produce.

 

[CAIN MKII]

Dude I hope there aren't any legal issues and MGM didn't screw up here

Any word from MGM? Is it possible that statues and toys are considered separate licenses?

I'm not an expert by any stretch but I've read that licensing can be very peculiar. I understand, for instance, that movie cars can be double-licensed if the second licensee locks the wheels, as this would qualify it as a statue, as opposed to a toy.

Nice update from Threezero for their Robocain:

Very nice and it comes with a split face.
That can make a nice figure but some proportions must be corrected

 

[Centurion]

Looking really good so far. Thank you for the update.

 

[Bezzerkerr]

A good effort so far.

But I see multiple problems areas.

I hope ThreeZero understands this complex character was created for the sole purpose of NOT being able to be accurately duplicated or reproduced. ThreeZero is fighting an uphill battle here, especially after Chronicle released the real deal-perfect replica.

 

[ChronicleCollectibles]

It's the same scale as ours, we told the licensor that if one part from ours is recast there will be problems.

From what we hear and see it's another idealized toy.

Good to hear. Really don't need this to get into legal matters.

 

[INFECDEAD]

I hate seeing recasts of statues I own, seeing a recast of something I made would piss me off

I've heard that argument before and it is an extremely complex design but let's remember that was 25 years ago.

New and improve techs are able to do things now that weren't possible or maybe feasible back then.

Either way is a good idea to keep expectations in check as this isn't gonna turn out to be a replica. And that's fine too.

i guess the price for license was really high, judging by a STATUE price. thanks to licensors for that from a world of collectors who will never have lots of figures due to some greedy hollywood guys who didn't even invent the characters.

 

[INFECDEAD]

The amount of work that went into design, molding, assembly, painting... I think justified the price of CC Robocain
