Hot Toys Reveals Two Upcoming Robocop Releases

[MegaPrime33]

A die-cast Hot Toys Robocop? Hmm how does one declare bankruptcy?

[Colder Soldier]

Omg. This looks magnificent.

^Lol. Exactly.

[Optimatron]

Oh hell yes. Pictures! Finally! I can't wait. I missed out the first time around and it won't happen again. ED and Murphy are comin' home!

[ShabbyBlue]

Very tempting, but $300 is hard to pay for him. My only complaint is that he doesn't have a removable helmet to show Murphy's full face. I'm guessing they couldn't secure the likeness rights from Peter Weller for this? Same reason NECA can't do a 6" scale Robo with removable helmet.

If he had a removable helmet with the fully revealed face, I'd probably order it. But alas, I'm going to have to think about this one for awhile before I decide if it's worth the $300.

[Colder Soldier]

Are we sure it's $300?

If so I am pumped. I 'm definitely getting a diecast Robo with chair at that price!

I agree a fully exposed face and baby food jars would have made it even more perfect.

I think the chair version is about $100 or so more

[ShabbyBlue]

Yes, it's $300. It's already up for preorder on Sideshow's site, along with the ED-209 and the chair.

[Superquad7]

These are too cool!

Hot Toys Robocop Update - The Toyark - News

[behindthemask]

The photos I've seen make it look like he will have a removable face plate!

[Phantomcrow]

Maybe the unmasked head will be for a Robocop 2 version that is in pieces after Cain tears him apart. Or perhaps a RC2 version that is the more blue and purple colors like he is in part 2. I never really realized how different Robo looked from part 1 to 2 until I watched them back to back. He is mostly Gunmetal Silver with slight bluish highlights in part 1, but more blue/steel with purple highlights in part 2.

I was thinking Robo with chair for only $300. Sigh. Why could'nt I have won that $550mil so I could start pre-ordering everything. Lol.

Though I might be the only person to appreciate it, a blue "John T. Cable" Robocop would be awesome. And yes, I know the Prime Directives movies sucked donkey ass.

True. Robocop 1 & 2 were two of the best sci-fi/superhero movies of all time. Working in a comic shop, I've had to explain that to so many a dumb youngster. Due to the times we live in and the endless list of terrible reality shows, younger people can't grasp the concept of satire. Sad really.

[MegaPrime33]

Now if only Hot Toys will do a Johnny 5 robot.....

I'm betting the helmet less Robocop is of Robocop/Murphy at the end of the first film all beat to hell.

That's the one I'm hoping and waiting to buy.

[kenm2474]

Looks real nice. I am surprised that there is no unmasked Murphy Head.

[Joe Moore]

I decided to take the plunge on this figure. Just ordered the standard release (without the chair). This will be my first ever Hot Toys purchase. I may pick up one of the loose Alex Murphy heads floating around on ebay as well, or wait for the battle damaged one with the unmasked head as a ton of people like to part those out on ebay as well.

I really wished I could do the same.

It was really pure timing and luck I was able to drop cash on this. Also, with Robocop, I figured it's a super contained release. There aren't a ton of 80's Robocop characters coming from Hot Toys. I get the version I like the best (clean version) and at most I'd maybe want the ED-209 to go with it. Though that would have to be one of those things where I trade a high end item for it or something.

Also hoping this ships out today so I can have it for a weekend photo shoot.

Just curious...where did you order your Robo? I ordered mine from Sideshow, and it had a defect. I made a return claim for it and it was accepted, however Sideshow claims that none are in stock and thus I have been waiting nearly two months for a replacement to come in. Meanwhile, they are holding contests for free Robos, and then I see that you're expecting one in the very near future, which has left me jaded and frustrated with with Sideshow's customer service.

I ordered mine from popculturezone.com. They were less expensive than just about anywhere else ($280). And with them being located in New Jersey, they're fairly close, which I liked.

I just got my shipping confirmation. Should be here by Friday!

Not sure what kind of comfort this will give you, but there has been a huge shipping dispute in California, and a lot of Sideshow's stock is just sitting on the dock, waiting to be delivered. THat is more than likely the reason why you haven't received it yet. Also, they keep a certain amount of figures designated for giveaways and contests that they can't use for other purposes.
