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.
