RoboCop is one of pop-culture's most recognizable heroes but he doesn't get too much love in the world of collectibles. Will NECA deliver fans the best action figure of the titular character with this Ultimate release or will we be waiting another 35 years?

This Robo is basically the 2012 release with a new unmasked head. It’s a shame Neca didn’t try to improve the articulation in any way. They had a decade to do it.
Was about to say this exactly.
That’s literally as much as robo cop can move lol.
Yep, you can tell they just did it to cash in. It's a lazy re-release disguised in a nice box and shiny paint. Unfortunately, everyone will complain and still buy it. If companies have success not improving a figure, you end up with PLAYMATES who released the same tmnt figures for almost 40 years.
Pretty disappointing that they didn’t bother trying to update the body at all.
That’s why I canceled my pre-order…
Aesthetic is probably most important overall to me. Then articulation, then accessories (though all figures should come with at least one). It kind of depends on the figure though. If it's Spider-Man, for example, I might put articulation first.
Una figura como ésta (Ultimate) debería de tener obligatoriamente alguna mano intercambiable más o alguna cabeza o parte del casco como lo hace la marca Mafex. Es lamentable que lo hayan echo igual que la 2 y 3 película..... Y las articulaciones ya ni hablamos, igual que la primera que hicieron hace no se 15 años?
I think it's about time someone released a Lewis figure to go along with the million Robocops we've gotten.
Yes!! And a Clarence Boddicker!! I'd even take the whole gang and a Dick Jones. Even kane from Robocop 2 would be a breath of fresh air.
Ya lewis would be cool 😎
Or a Robo Cain
No. She is shit.
And one of Clarence Boddicker and one of each of his gang members, And one of Dick Jones ands Bob Morton.
The nature of this design benefits this figure a ton, nearly none of the articulation is visible and that's surprising considering how much there is.
Same, balance of aesthetics and articulations.
That's why I'm more comfortable without the butterfly joints, because it kinda prioritize the articulation over aesthetics, which destroys that balance of the two.
As long as the silhouette, especially on the shoulder part, is looking cool, i'm alright with standard articulations.
When it comes to accessories, if the accessory is part of the character itself, like infinity gauntlets of thanos, it should have it.
While extra hands like fisted and relax hands will suffice.
Same mindset as you on the articulation and aesthetic. I love accessories and all, but with certain characters it matters to me. Long as Robo has his firearm, the data spike, and a swappable head or two. I’m typically happy.
Which looks like they covered all that.
Really looking forward to the battle damaged and chair version of this guy.
Articulation looks as expected, I’m not bashing NECA at all. But I really want to see some other companies tackle RoboCop and the Terminator stuff. I know Mafex has something coming out, same with Hiya toys, but I want someone else to give it a try.
I had hoped that the leg or the shoulders would’ve been a softer or more flexible plastic for better posing but I can’t imagine that unless it was like the predator’s armor.
Excellent review, Anthony. As always, though.
So you’re aware, the gun sits on a peg that loops through the trigger guard. It’s an awkward jumble to get it in and out without damaging the mechanism, at least on the original release, but some finagling should wedge itself in there.
When it’s seated properly, it does not deploy outward toward the right hand, as you accurately mention should be the case.
However, the mechanism does allow the gun to be holstered inside the leg for storage, when the accessory is not in use.
Ultimately it’s useless outside of storage or a specific usage for ACBA.
Cheers!
What's important to me depends on the figure. Spider-Man I want good articulation with all the proper hands and good web lines on the suit. Robocop? Not really known for being limber. So as long as he can hit all the poses you'd want him to then start leaning on aesthetic.
I agree with you. Plus too many accessories makes it too difficult to decide how to display them lol. I like simple, accessories are nice but if you have an excellent looking figure that also has excellent articulation you don't need accessories. I mean let's be honest we're all adults here, we don't play with these figures, if you're a kid that plays with them then the extras might be important. But they stand on my shelf
I think Mafex is still the way to go though I think if Mezco did one that'd be the go to so far their Predator looks better than any of the Neca ones tbh.
Yeah but Mafex is too expensive.
Yep got the mafex movie 1 ver. He is perfect but expensive now...and can't wait for the mezco pred! Have 2 on pre-order... one will be the normal Junglehunter and the other will be a custom made ver. for either a Wolf or Feral Predator!
@@jcxcollection13 It's worth the price though it comes with a tone of stuff and looks great I've got the Robocop 2 version and honestly unless Mezco do one I don't think I'd ever need another one
Totalmente de acuerdo amigo, después de Hot toys y enterbay, Mafex hace unas figuras muy bonitas, y las de Robocop son espectaculares en una escala tan pequeña, Neca siendo un poco más grande debería de tener más detalles, los precios han subido para todo, no les hubiera costado nada poner alguna mano más o alguna cara más como alguna boca. Y las articulaciones son las mismas que la primera figura de Robocop qué saco Neca, es triste pero es así...💩💩 Sólo cambiaron la pintura, y añadido una cabeza
Isn't mezco and others like 3x-5x the price of a neca figure
I agree with you Anthony as far as the question of the day. I like articulation but the older I get (I’m 34) the more I’m concerned with aesthetics of the sculpt and paint. That’s why I like Neca and DST over Hasbro/Mattel and even McFarlane to a certain extent.
Accessories are always nice. Key accessories should come with the figure.
I like a balance of all 3... articulation, aesthetic, accessories. I know, I want it all. But really, I don't need any one extreme -- Amazing Yamaguchi articulation is too much, I won't ever pose my figures to that extent or that often, I usually look for one or two decent poses and that's it. Super premium finish usually means they sacrifice something else and/or clean out your wallet, see: Hot Toys. And too many accessories mean most are going into a storage bin. NECA tends to hit the sweet spot (Mezco does as well, fairly often). Great sculpts/paint even the occasional soft goods, a fair selection of accessories (compared to Marvel Legends just giving you a set of hands). And, their figures can usually pull some good shapes. This is a nice figure, but MAFEX proved more can be done with the Robocop suit's limitations.
I agree, I think it’s a 2-way balance on articulation/aesthetic and accessories simply serve to enhance the purchase. Sometimes an accessory can make a figure but it’s rare.
A balance of articulation and aesthetics for sure.
I like the figure to be accurate and in proportion, and I like to not be too limited with posing.
Posing too, that will vary from character to character.
Like a Spider-man versus a Hulk, you can excuse limitations and differences due to character design.
I bought this figure from neca years ago and it broke pulling it out of the packaging. This looks exactly the same.
I agree that the articulation is lack luster. The shoulder could’ve add some sort of ratcheted piston like bar that slid in and out to give his arm some give. Or at least that’s what would make sense to me, I’m sure that would’ve been more of a cost. BUT with that said, I think it looks great. I didn’t expect him to be super posable anyway. His build alone sold me and I can’t wait to ship mine
Aesthetics are definitely a big must.
Wooooo! I can't wait for this to drop!Hasn't showed up in the mid west yet.
I once handled an action figure. The articulation makes it fun to play with, but I wouldn’t want to buy it if I didn’t like how it looked in the first place though. They did a great job with his head. Thanks for the great review Anthony!💕💕💕
You know once I saw that the Alex Murphy figure has the gun spin hand, I really wish they put one in this release of RoboCop. In the movie it’s the first sign that Murphy and Robocop are the same guy. Not a dealbreaker, but would’ve been a really nice touch for an “ultimate” figure
Articulation, Accessories, Aesthetic? You hit the nail on the head with those 3. Those are the things I look for in them all. If you can't pose them, you might as well get a statue. The more accessories you have, the more variety you get out of poses. As an artist, the aesthetic is something I can adjust. I can add more paint, but if the scale is off, or it has fabric clothing, or does not look like the character, I don't want to bother with it.
Can't wait to never see these geek-out figures in-store, or any Target-exclusive NECA for that matter lol
For the muzzle flash i think something similar to the one they used for Vasquez's smartgun would've looked good.
For a collector piece, the aesthetic is the most important because it'll mostly be on a shelf.
For a toy, articulation is most important because it'll be played with and articulation makes them infinitely more fun to handle
Same, balance of aesthetics and articulations. Not many companies know how to do it right though, unfortunately...
Also, I hope Hiya Toys send you that new Die-cast 1/12 RoboCop figure to review. Looks like it's the best one yet.
hiya toys will blow everyone out if they make 6 inch and stuff
Definitely a combination of aesthetics and articulation for me as well. And I agree awesome looking figure but still could use a few improvements. It's tough to find a totally terrible neca figure, easily my favorite action figure company
Zup Anthony, for me in this order: 1st-aesthetic, 2nd-accessories and 3rd-articulation. A we’ll painted it, decent details and well proportioned figure is what I look for, now if it’s a Batman I might bend those requirements 😅👍🏼
Thanks for the video bro 😎
Really wish they had reworked the articulation it is basically a re-release with just a new head.
In general for me they are all important, first aesthetic then articulation and always appreciate accessories specially when they are essential for the character.
If I remember correctly I don't think they could get the rights from Peter Weller for his face 10 years ago.
I know in the special DVD commentary that suit was a pain in the ass for him to move around in so it's no surprise that the articulation on a figure would be limited too.
Since they have his likeness now I really really really really wish they would do buckaroo bonsai figures.
I care about aesthetic and that include the packaging that the figure comes with. Accessories will be a close second especially if I’m paying a high price for the figure and articulation will be last cause to me if the figure has a few bad points of articulation I’m fine with that
While I also agree with the balance between aesthetic and articulation, the latter is what I actually immediately check in terms of specs. Anything below 32 points would be disappointing because it would usually mean the figure would have single jointed elbows and/or knees.
Awesome review as always Anthony. Love your videos because you are very blunt and will not lie about a figure. Basically you don't BS, love it. Will you be reviewing his chair when it comes out?
i will if they send a review sample. im not into robocop enough to get another of mostly the same figure.
That reminds me, Peter Weller had problems with the movie and locked the rights to his likeness and they couldn’t use it unless they cut a deal with the devil.
Anthony, I always go by these few things: has to be, at least, 5 - 8 inches tall, multiple points of articulation (including double jointed knees and elbows), and has to have, at least, 4 - 6 accessories.
Always aesthetics, I would love to have an end all be all figure, and articulation would be second so the figure could at least be set in favorable positions. Would trade accessories for more of both.
Would the arms have gotten better range if they put the joint further up the shoulder? Same with the legs? I was thinking of grabbing this but I want more articulation from Murphy. I know he's clunky but if he can't hit a large stride arm stretched out to the side shooting pose it's a pass for me.
My answer for the question of the day comes down to 3 things: price, look, articulation. If it’s lacks in one of these, then it better be a figure that is from a franchise I love AND excels at the others.
I always wanted a robocop figure since i was kid. Always something expensive, which i never even asked for it when i was a kid.
I saw this on sale on my local store, and wondered for a week or 2, if i buy it or not. I ended up with , for being robocop and a dream that could be true.
And, articulation is awful. I can't have wrist swivel , because its so tight , so tight, I feel i will brake it.
but, if i had robocop as kid, it would not be this articulated. So i am thankful for the opportunity i got
Toys are meant to be played with so articulation matters most to me. It could be the most gorgeous sculpt in the world, but if it's no fun in hand, I don't want it. Robocop is the perfect example of that.
I’m starting to do a lot of stop motion so function and mobility is what I look at to determine if it’s something I’m gonna put in a film
Intresting..i stil have my original Neca Robocops and ED209. Nice to know they upgraded
I would go aesthetic, accessories and articulation. I have absolutely no imagination for posing figures and they end up on my shelves all looking like they are about to take the beginning of the school year group picture! lol
A combination of the three, they all factor differently depending on the figure.
Aesthetic: As long as it resembles who it's supposed to be, I'm satisfied. Finishes and the sort play a part I.e. a matte/satin finish is overall the best unless something's supposed to be glossy (Patent leather, metal, etc.) but honestly anatomy isn't a big deal unless it's completely ridiculous.
Accessories: The more the merrier, they add value to a piece, as a photographer/amateur stop motion animator, I like having different heads/hands for expressions and other accessories sometimes work for set dressing or props for a scene. Every figure should at least have alternate parts unless they're going for the retro/nostalgic vibe (DC Super Powers, WWE Retros, any Kenner-inspired retro line)
Articulation: If I had to pick, this is my most important factor, but not in the way most would think. There's a sweet spot of articulation between say classic McFarlane statue figures and ToyBiz Marvel Legends/Revoltech's hyper-articulation. I think it depends on the character's power set or physique: someone like Spider-Man needs to be super agile and flexible, but a bigger guy like The Hulk can get away with lesser POAs. Most figures should at least have decent joints in your major areas like the neck, arms, midsection, etc.
Looking at Robocop, aesthetic is practically spot on, accessories are enough though I'd add another left hand, articulation is most definitely the weak point and what ultimately leaves me cold enough to unfortunately skip this one, at full price anyway. They basically used the old buck rather than redesign the figure. I get it, Robocop isn't going to do yoga, but at the very least they could have added a swivel to the elbow, wrist hinges, and another system for the hips beyond the dreaded V-Hips.
For your question of the day; I agree with you whole heartedly, the reason why I wait for some figures to get your review before I buy
Its a mix of articulation and aesthetics but I would say mostly articulation because its an action figure. If i wanted a nice looking figure that doesn't move well i would just get a statue lmao. Accessories are nice but i dont think they are super important to a figure.
Aesthetics and articulation. I do like the figure to have full detail as if it came right out of my tv. Specially Robocop loved him since I was little. I even had a crush on him as a teen still do hehe
Aesthetics and articulation for me, though aesthetics wins out if I had to pick just one. Take Robocop here, he had very limited movement in the movie and what's present here would be good enough for my posing needs, at that point what matters more to me is how good the figure looks on my shelf. Of course good articulation is huge for getting shelf presence out of a figure, and the whole point of a figure is being able to play around and get it into a dynamic pose, so I don't want to seem like I'm totally dismissive of that quality either.
Don’t forget Anthony about the battle damage version that comes with the chair
For me its a balance as well, I think in this case articulation isn't super important, he is robocop, and while he could reach up and touch his head in the film, more often than not most people would probably just need him with his gun raised some.
I bought the new neca ed-209 a couple of weeks ago, never got the original, they also had this one but as I own the original figure I didn't get it. Other than the silver paint looking a bit better, To me, on this one I can't see a reason to replace my original. I wouldn't ever use the unmasked head. And to answer the question. Aesthetic, I don't pose figures so articulation doesn't matter, and I'm usually happy with accessories.
I have to agree on your point of the what matters most. While accessories are nice and add a few extra features to a figure they aren't the be all end all when I decide to buy one. I want a figure that looks good, whether it be a comic representation or a movie re-creation I want it to Look like the character I remember. Also posability is vital. I hope it has good articulation, but nowadays that's a 50/50 chance. My HOPE is it looks good and poses well. But in the end I think we end up just being happy if it looks decent and doesn't break easily. That's sad! Also the muzzle flash for the gun, horrible is the nicest way to put it. I won't say what it looks like except to say it would be a better accessory for a adult film star action figure. NUFF SAID!
If a figure looks terrible it's a no go, but articulation is number one. I used to customize GI Joes into wrestlers, hockey players and superheroes before I knew action figure customizing was a thing because they were the only figures with acceptable articulation in the early 90s. I couldn't bring myself to just smack un-posable figures together while I played. I was pretty good for an 11 year old who thought he was the only customizer on earth, but the aesthetic was heavily compromised.
got my figure today, it is hard to move. I can't even move the hands or take them off. I absolutely love the figure, but i don't understand why it's so difficult to move. maybe because it's been stuck in it's package?
Try putting them under warm water
There are 3 Target stores in my general area. I have never ever seen any NECA figures there ever. I see them at other Targets while watching toy hunt videos, but they're never at the Target stores nearest to me. It's most frustrating. Anyone have an idea why that's the case?
Balance of articulation and aesthetic for me. I only care about accessories when the prices are high.
There are those times where the character will override my buying decision. Like ML Doppelganger... which is easily Hasbro's worst ML figure, but it is also the only one to get.
Appreciate this review. I'm on the hunt for it.
I think the metallic paint is a little too glossy but glad they improved on the cyan and magenta. I'm happy we finally have an Ultimate edition and not just the blister clamshell.
Are you a graphic designer? I've never heard someone reference cyan and magenta like that before lol
@@AnthonysCustoms I use to be a Press Operator.
Short answer, articulation, then aesthetic then accessories.
Long version. The way to answer it is to look at the extremes, if it has only one of them than an aesthetically perfect figure with 0 articulation is factually not a figure, it is a statue. Often i find a well made figure with poseability look better to me than a well made statue even though the statue has no cuts. I think part of that is my brain understands the utility in having poseability. I just got one of the ToyBiz Spider-Man 2 figures and i find it more appealing than any statue i have seen of that Spider-Man.
I do think that there should be a focus on keeping the aesthetics as close to a great statue as possible while increasing the possibility.
There is a point when you loose more aesthetically than you gain poseability. The greatest example for me currently is the Mafex Spider-man compared to the Revoltech one. The Mafex Spider-man is an 8-9 in both poseability and aesthetic while revoltech is a 10 (or as close as is reasonable) in poseability, but to get the 1 extra point in poseability they gave up 6-8 points of the aesthetic depending on who you ask.
The Mafex Spider-Man is close to what i consider the perfect mix of aestethics and poseability.
I had a robocop toy when I was a kid in thr 90s and it was easily 14 inches and had his gun in his thigh and it came out. does anyone know what that would have been?
I ordered the battle damaged version with the chair. Been waiting since like February or March. Hopefully it will FINALLY ship.
Looks good just sitting on the shelf
Hit some light behind the barrell flash and itll be any color you want. It shoukd work fine. Couldve been a bit more orange
It won't. It's milky and painted white
Wished they would do Emil before AND after the toxic waste rinse.
The spring-loaded mechanism in the leg leads me to believe that this is just a slightly modified version of the last Robocop they made (the spring-loaded holster version from 2011-2012), with some extra accessories. If I'm correct then that would explain the poor movability.
It is definitely the same mold.
@@Metalwario64 hmm. So that means NECA are using a 10-year-old mold. Thats.. honestly pretty lazy. Every Ultimate figure of theirs that I own has great improvements to the sculpts of their prior versions, so to see that they just re-hashed this one is sad.
You are correct
For me it's also a combination of aesthetics and articulations, articulations counting more for me. Unless the figure has really nice head scuplts
packaging is fantastic, but i wait for the battle damaged version with the chair as i have the previous version which is pretty much the same.
I have a few of this and the Peter Waller head is not enough for me to purchase it. If they have done a helmet that you can use with that head I would’ve get it hands down.
I need a 1/4 scale of this figure. Come on neca. Give us a reissue. There is no other piece that pops out of the holster. I have older versions of this figure and the gun just sits in there on all of them too.
6:44 tha Cobra Gun, what was that supposed to shoot? some explosive shells or something like that, right?
Yep! High explosive incendiary rounds. Enough to blow up a vehicle, or leave an Ed-209 without his upper half.
1. Aesthetic
2. Accessories (more heads, hands and weapons please)
3. Articulation (As long as it is at least average or appropriate for the character it doesnt matter all that much to me...i.e. characters like Spider-Man, Black Panther and Daredevil should have great articulation but if the Juggernaut or Hulk is just a stiff chunk of plastic it doesnt matter to me.)
The Movie Maniacs McFarlane one is still better in my opinion. They just re-released their older one with a new paint job and weapons. Yours looks better than the one I found and passed on.
A blend of articulation and asthenic 100% I don’t want a figure where the articulation completely ruins the aesthetic, but then on the other hand Don’t like when the figure sacrifices tons of articulation for aesthetic. If I had to pick one, I’d rather the figure have a better aesthetic and less articulation. Most of the time they’re in pretty vanilla poses on my shelf, so if the figure looks ugly in a vanilla pose then I’m out. That’s why I don’t give McFarlane so much hate for their lack of articulation because most times they look great in just a vanilla pose
Is the torso turned around the wrong way?
Nope
I think aesthetic naturally wins out, if a figure looks like hot garbage then all the articulation and accessories in the world won’t save it. Articulation is second though, when it comes to articulation for a figure based on a well known IP, it should be able to pull off a few of their iconic poses. After all it’s an action figure not a statue. Accessories it depends on the price, if it’s under $35 then it should have an alternative head and or a set of hands, and at least one prop.
I plan on getting him to pose with the MK11 spawn because both are in MK11
As long as I can remember I’ve always wanted my figures to be able to move
Nice detailed review. Just found your channel. Subbed.
Cheers!!
Thanks a lot. Welcome.
Now all we need is an Ultimate Wolf Predator from AvPR cause that figure needs an update.
Answering the question of the day: for me I choose to buy a figure is it's cool, that's it. So I guess aesthetic is the characteristic to go for me.
For me from most to least important for a good action figure is:
1. Aesthetics
2. Articulation
3. Accessories
I might buy a poorly articulated figure if it looks good enough. Accessories are not that important to me unless it is a signature weapon.
I agree , aesthetic, and articulation . I mainly collect horror figures, so for me those 2 are essential.
I'd kill to have an ultimate Robocop with more articulation in the arms. Idiots at NECA just gave us a rerelease with Peter Weller's likeness. Sure, its good to have the likeness now, but come on! Murphy can't pull his shoulders in to hold the Cobra with both arms, and no additional elbow bends to hold the Auto-9 in standby.
For me It's 50/50 when it comes to articulation and aesthetics.. coz even if it look good and it won't pose to save it's life then i don't want it.. accessories just give it the minimum fist hands(minimum requirements) accessory holding hands and some accessories if they are detrimental to the character..
I wanted some McFarlane figures but they either come with trigger fingers kr wacky looking hands..
It should scale well with storm collectibles mk
Hmm, I've been looking forward to this figure being an affordable alternative to Mafex's offering, but its articulation is very disappointing, especially considering how many strides NECA have taken these past few years to make their figures posable.
I have the 4-inch Hiya Toys version and even that figure has a little more articulation (90° bend at the elbows, slightly better ab crunch, nice ankle rocker) considering it's a good bit smaller. I may have to consider shelling out the cash for the Mafex...
MAFEX is releasing a new Robocop soon, so I wouldn't be surprised if one of the other Robocop figures got a re-release as well. Their new Robocop also comes with a Murphy head.
@@captain_zed that's the damaged version you're talking about, yeah? I was tempted to get him but I'd only have him to recreate specific moments rather than be an all-purpose fig. I will be hoping for an eventual re-release 🤞
@@vgamer11 yeah, I'm not big on battle damaged figures myself, but it does give me hope that they will do a new run of Robocop 1. I have the Robocop 2 figure already. I might get the battle damaged figure just for the Murphy head.
Robocop been slamming that baby food
The head does seem kinda narrow. If you look at the box it's not the same shape
It looks good, but I still think the best 1:12 Robocop is the one McFarlane did in their Movie Maniacs line.
The actor is Peter Weller
Aesthetics... It's all about vanity, the figure has to look good, because my collection is almost entirely displayed in the general standing position for balance and space-saving.
Head sculpt still looks wrong, the Robo-helmet is to narrow and tiny. 4:09
Just look at the box art. 0:06
Aesthetic, Articulation and Accessories. The head is definitely too narrow, he has the beer gut and it’s a rehash of the figure Neca released 10 years ago. Love both guns and the data spike, I dislike the muzzle flash, NECA has made better. I love the Predator figures so I’m disappointed that they would release this quality of a Robocop figure I might wait for the battle damage one with the chair. I get the feeling that a lot of these be around and be easy to get. Thanks for the review.
the head is too narrow because they literally repackaged a figure from 10yrs ago w/ a couple new accessories and a new premium price. classic neca. Anthony are you gonna get the deluxe figure with the chair?
Maybe
Sorry for another comment, but I had to mention that in the past as you also stated Neca's "Ultimate" figures always had the most accessories. For instance the Nightmare on Elm Street III: Dream Warrior Ultimate Freddy figure, it came with the Popsicle house 🏠 that Kristen or Kirsten made. It had the syringe 💉💉💉💉💉fingers Freddy uses on the one female patient who was recovering from drugs. There was more as well. I forget the total amount, but the Ultimate lines always were the "definitive" figure of the series. This IS decent I will agree with you there. The look is spot on. I'd say 8.5 or 9/10. Articulation, um, what Articulation....lol, sorry. In all seriousness though the articulation is not completely bad, but darn close. I'd say 4-4.5/10, maybe a 5/10 with the thigh trick. It would have made sense however for them to at the very least have a holder inside for the gun. They didn't have to make it like the movie where when the thigh opened up the guns holder popped out where Robocop could grab it easily. This was basically a incomplete gimmick. Cool but unfinished. Your review was spot on. Since I didn't get this figure back in 2012 or whenever it first was released, I would probably say that I'd get this one, IF the stores here actually stock it. Thanks for the info. It's really helpful in deciding whether or not a figure is worth getting. This one looks great 8-9/10, poses pfft, 4-5/10, and accessories are also decent but not exceptional, a 5.5-6/10. Overall I'd say or give it a 18.5-20/30 or a 6-6.5/10. Not bad but not Ultimate. However if you didn't get this figure last run, like me, I'd say it's worth it, as it does really look exceptionally detailed and well done in appearance. If you have it already than I'd pass. Wait and see if they make a Battle Damaged Robocop, or maybe a Ultimate ULTIMATE? LOL!!😆🤣😆🤣😂
Articulation is paramount, then ascetic and then finally accessories.
Aesthetic is number one always, don't care about how well it can articulate or how much it comes with if the figure looks like crap.
If it’s a “figure” then it needs good articulation. Mine as well be buying statues pal
Looks really nice 👌
I dont really care about the figure as long he comes in a nice cardboard box that i'll eventually throw away. Thats all that matters. Not crappy cookie box where i can extra parts or anything. 😂
If you are really a true fan of Robocop, you would get the Hottoys version and end it. Best representation of it that even his fingers articulate. Probably one of the best hottoys too!
if i collected that scale i would
The Actors name is Peter Weller. What a lot of people don't remember is the bad guy was the Dad from that 70's Show. Red Foreman or his real name Kurtwood Smith. In Robocop he was Clarence Boddicker. A really nasty guy! He was one of the bad guys who killed the Peter Weller character, Murphy. There were some great actors in that movie, still one of my favorites as well. The re-boot was crap though. Robocop CAN'T be PG-13.
Well, give the man a hand!
