I would probably get the classic style 4-inch one for my 3 3/4-inch "Movie Maniacs" shelf.

Which is pretty interesting at least as a concept. As for the toys, I may buy them, but I'll be more tempted if they make the actual soldier drones and of course a scale accurate ED 209.

Okay that I like.
I still wish they'd give him a glove at least though. Then it'd give even more human casualness to it as he'd remove to shake hands. That would subconsciously illicit a response of "he really is human under all that Detroit built steel."

Though on my shelf he's not going to be RoboCop. Its going to be a RoboSwat Squad for me. xD

I'm a little more enthused by the movie now though with that hand explanation. That makes sense, just still wish they gave him at least a kevlar glove he can take on and off though for added impact.

Very true.

Hmm... The 6" figure could possibly be a good base for this Death's Head.

Not a fan of the new look at all. To be honest I just don't feel the need for Robocop to even be remade, wish they'd just leave classics alone.

I think they missed the point of Robot Cop.

I guess in addition to Halo toys, they make some pretty good diecast cars...or used to back in the day. Bunch of import cars i enjoyed under their Import Racer, Option D, and Initial D brandings.

I agree the new look is not very ''robo" to me. More like a dude wearing a bike suit. Not bulky enough to look "robotic". The only thing i know is, that gun better be coming out of his leg

I had no idea that this new Robocop was going to have an exposed hand. I don't care WHAT the explantions for it are, it looks stupid as hell.

^^^ agreed.
