[boondocksaint]

looks cool!

[vp1940]

I think its a little too obvious that the helmet comes off, and if it doesn't they definately made his face too thin, and it looks roughly sculpted. Still, if its made of metal count me in.

[DetroitSportsFan]

I bet his armor made mostly of plastic, like PF Boba Fett.

Oh well, I always wanted a PF Robocop.

Count me in! :buttrock:

[cap70]

Metal would be GREAT and make it more PF(mixed media).
Getting it anyway!

[High Lord Apocalypse]

cap70 where do you put all your stuff? i think you're getting everything. i got to see pic when you get it all.

[Karma]

There will be an exclusive...maybe interchangeable heads?

[batman1180]

I will be getting this one.

[SquiderM3]

This one is the biggest surprise for me from Sideshow and definitely a must have. Can't wait.:buttrock:

[cap70]

cap70 where do you put all your stuff? i think you're getting everything. i got to see pic when you get it all.

Nah, I don't buy everything. Far from that. :)
P1X's the one that buy's EVERYTHING that's made of resin and have a number on the bottom!
Doesn't matter what is! lol

[Hellboy]

If its metal I'll consider it but otherwise its a pass for me.

[P1X4R]

heck no Cap! i'm very selective of what i buy. :)

[Red X]

The organic face (well what's visible anyway) looks questionable.

[KAOSINLA]

Metal would be GREAT and make it more PF(mixed media).
Getting it anyway!

Hoping for metal, but probably am in the same boat of buying it either way!

[Ink]

oh s**t:buttrock: :buttrock:

[PitViper]

Need to see better pics but so far I like it. :buttrock:

[kaza5555]

Tempting.

[Ink]

There will be an exclusive...maybe interchangeable heads?

perhaps a battle damaged version? change o hands?

[thx217]

Well, base on the pic. It's robo all right, but it's off. I'll pray for the CM version.

[Gianco]

Looking forward to see more pics, looks interesting!

[BigLeagueChu]

no way this is made of metal. i'd be very surprised.

[MACATTACK]

Nice piece, but knowing SS it will probably arrive with some damage, so it's giving me second thoughts - unless it is predominantly metal, in which case it should be more hardwearing - but will also cost more as well!

[thx217]

OMG...WTF!? SS call this a PF? Besides the base, the thing is CRAP...

Yup. $50 shipped.

May pick this up.
Will wait untill theres better pics to decide.

Can`t say I`m convinced, I may pass.

[cap70]

Hmmmmm, not too found of it either after seeing the 360 mov. Hope we will get some better pics later

[Trilogy]

Hopefully we`ll get some good shots from the con.

[geto10]

Very interested in this :)

[El Diablo]

Well, base one the pic. It's robo all right, but it's off. I'll pray for the CM version.

Agreed 100% it`s a pass for me :(

I love robo but this just doesn`t look right, in fact i`d say my hot toys version looks more accurate.

Sideshow, my credit card thanks you :)

[thx217]

Just like their 1/4 Terminator. This "PF" Robo. suffers from major likeness/accuracy and proportion problem. We might get some pics with the repositioned helmet(who put the thing like that in the 360 view anyway?), but for now, I doubt there will be much "feeling" change on the show piece or final version. However, they still got time to fix if they really want to DO IT RIGHT. SS is hauling a lot of stuff out, that might be the explanation to the this odd looking prototype.

[Poisonous]

Just saw it and yup, major disappointment. Maybe they'll adjust it, who knows but as it is now...

[cap70]

SS is hauling a lot of stuff out, that might be the explanation to the this odd looking prototype.

Yup, that's a big possibility.

[IronFingaz]

Looks good, but the mouth area looks a bit off.

[thx217]

The whole thing is off. It should look like this, but pristine,clean and shinny.

Love it, but the lips look a little off.

Small problem that doesn't detract much from the statue though :)

[Juggernaut]

Battle damaged Robocop.

I would have liked Robocop better.

Agreed, a battle damaged Robocop would have been pretty cool.

But that's what it is.

That big shred on his chest and the bullet holes, that's not exactly new from the factory Robocop. :)

Why does it look like he's smiling again?

Thats what I was thinking.

[cap70]

Robo looks much better, but still not sure about it.

[El Diablo]

Robo looks much better, but still not sure about it.

Yeah that pics does make it look better even the facial area looks more accurate, but there`s still something not quite right. Legs to short maybe?

[Alaneye]

It's off as many of the Robocops I've seen are - the main thing is that the waist and especially the hips are too narrow. Robocop should be quite chunky. The most accurate one I've seen (and got) is the Hot Toys 12" version. Also, though the likeness is accurate, it isn't how he appears in the movie - his lips should be more pursed as the chin strap pushes up and the helmet should be angled down from the back of the head to the nose.

Don't think I'll be getting this one unless the production version improves.

Alan

[El Diablo]

I still hold out hope that they will improve it as it does say 'prototype' on the base.

[geto10]

He does look pretty good from those pics. Well, it's a prototype so they might change his face a little.

[Trilogy]

I don`t think it will change much.

[bruceb]

...big pass....

[Poisonous]

Would have preferred a pose with Robo reaching for his holster instead. Almost every other statue/figure out there has him aiming his gun.

[Rudy]

MAAAN I have been waiting for a decent robrcop statue for years. Even when I first started collecting statues robocop was the statue I visiualized in my collection until I saw that there wasnt even one decent robo statue in the market. I hope this one is good enough to justify and satisfy the long wait. Cant wait to see full pictures.

Same here. But this one is not it. Pic. won't help on this piece, it's just not good enough as a PF. Sad, but true.

[Godapenz]

The body is pretty accurate. The head however is horrible. How can they screw this up so bad? He looks like a wrinkly old man with a helmet thats way to big for his face. Looks like Ash ahsn't improved either. In the words of the old man ' I'm very dissapointed'

[cougartrace]

I want to get it, but I won't. I'll wait for Conan which they better not mess up.:banghead:

[Karma]

exclusive is spiked fist to access computer & clarence's neck

[patrickwm68]

The body looks great but the face is way off.

[Karma]

this PF has waist, arm & head articulation

[Who's who]

Love Robocop but I would rather have a statue version.

Missed out on ED-209

Hope they make a Kain Robot as big as their Hulk statue now that would be awsome.

[Poisonous]

Now, a ED-209 PF...:happybirt

The HT one is very nice but a PF, damn :buttrock:

[Ink]

sweet

[KAOSINLA]

He's still out there...

[vetteman]

Love Robocop but I would rather have a statue version.
You do know that PFs ARE statues, right? Did you think this thing was a stuffed animal or something?:sly2:

[Red X]

He is a robot and all but pose is a little stiff for my taste, I mean what is he doing? Rather blah!

Body is alright I guess...that face well what I can see of it, is terrible...I'm a big Robo fan and this kind dissapoints.



The only thing I like is the base...I'd rather have Hot Toys, McFarlene, or NECA's Robo....which are better and cheaper.

I actually don't think this pose is half bad, but I'm probably still not buying it anyway..

[candyrocket786]

Considering that the release date is about 8-10 months away, I'm hoping that Sideshow will revisit the prototype for improvements. :buttrock:

No kidding. Hopefully they will improve it.

They sorta have to. Even the SS employee think it sucks.

Yeah, with more pics this looks pretty bad...mainly the helmet/face.

Not GTW bad but bad.

[Rudy]

Same here. But this one is not it. Pic. won't help on this piece, it's just not good enough as a PF. Sad, but true.

I know we all have doubts about his one but we cant judge it without seeing full pictures or better yet till someone sees it up close. I still have faith in this one. I really hope sideshow did not screw this one up. There is a big hunger for a dec
ent robo statue at least for me and I am sure there are a lot more like me. Lets just be more optimistic and hope for the best. If this one doesnt turn out to be great it will be a great waste of such an iconic charachter.

[Predator]

Why do you people keep compaining about the pose. Its articulated. You can pose his upper body however you like. :stick:

I feel you, who doesn't want this to be AWESOME? But, the info. we've got for now...is disappointing.

And yes, it will be a HUGE waste if they can't nail this one down. Robo. line has A LOT of potential, PF ED-209, Cain, life size bust, prop replica and dioramas.........

Yeah I know what you mean but still we need to wait a little longer. And woow just thinking about a life size robocop is enough to get me excited. I doubt that I would be able to afford it or find the space for it, but I have a feeling it will happen. Oh also a legendary scale bust would be perfect for me.

[DetroitSportsFan]

this PF has waist, arm & head articulation

If that's the case, doesn't that confirm that it will be made of plastic like PF Fett?

[Juggernaut]

SS is drooping the ball on there PF's
three in a row now.

Godfarther

[Darth Pain]

I might get one, depends on the price.

I really like how thwy made him poseable. The exclusive should be could with the new head.

[Red X]

Well it's prototype..so maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel and they will fix the face, then I will buy it.

[Predator]

If that's the case, doesn't that confirm that it will be made of plastic like PF Fett?

No. The Endo has articulation and isnt made of plastic.

[Predator]

Humm...the pose is the last thing people care about.

Several people commented on the pose. I was merely pointing out the fact that it was posable. You were just to busy to notice the posts on account of your vendetta against Sideshow for apparently botching the likeness on this piece. If you dont like it, dont buy it. No need to run on telling Sideshow to redo it. Theyre not really listenig. Theyre in business to make money. This thing is already in production and there is no turning back.

"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one."

[Vracula]

this thing will sell out regardless

The face is too wan and sits incorrectly in the helmet/jawpiece. Look at some of the stills posted earlier in this thread. If they can fix the head, I'll definitely get one of these.

Despite the discrepancies, I've ordered this. Let's hope there is enough of a change to make this closer to perfection.

Afterall, it is an exclusive. It's almost a given that this will sell out fairly quick. It's been up for order since early yesterday. How long before a sell-out? Any takers?

I say 5 days, so by Aug.3rd.

I dont think the likeness on the statue is bad
they look similar to me
which is were the mcfarlane argument comes into place

like what we pay hardly anything for that peice
and 250plus shipping for the statue that looks similar

for a character like this
I would prefer plastic because its cheaper and nearly as good IMO

[loricstone]

Ok, lets put this puppy to rest! I have pics from the movie, the SS PF, and the McFarlane Toy! So somebody, please tell me where the problem with Sideshow's Robocop is!? No, the SS Robo is not 100% perfect, and no statue is, but it is definitely in the high 90% accuracy range. This PF is smokin!

I still don't see what's so bad about the head. MAYBE it could use some little tweaks here or there, but some of you guys make the head sculpt sound like it's amateur-hour.

[vetteman]

His left arm is way to stubby, and he is smirking/smiling. Also there is a huge gap where his arms connect to his body and his armor is flat as opposed to "glittery" and shiny (like car paint). I could go on and on. He just looks like a giant, expensive action figure and sort of is with all his movable parts. :thumbs2:

[The Batman Professor]

Ordered - I hope the head is better when it arrives, but I have to have this one. So much for calling me a "Sideshow hater." Yeah, vetteman, he's an expensive action figure, but isn't ALL of this stuff at heart? It's not like we're buying an Auguste Rodin here.

[Red X]

The helmet is too wide in the ears, and the mouth looks funny. His head looks like it gets narrow, wide, then narrow again.

The McFarlene looks more movie accurate to me.

[vetteman]

OYeah, vetteman, he's an expensive action figure, but isn't ALL of this stuff at heart?Umm, no. All the pieces I own are 100% statue and polystone at heart. :sly2:

Ok, Vetteman, not only are you far from the truth.......but you couldn't be further from the truth! Arms are not too stubby! In person, that armor is glistening dude, but not overly shiny! The gap on the arm.....I just don't see what you are referring to! People can try to nitpick all they want, the only thing I can see someone saying is that it is semi poseable, and they don't like that! But everything else is nitpicking and hard nitpicking at that! If you nitpick on statues, then I just don't see how you buy statues? Of course people strive for perfection, but there is always something we can find problems with!

[vetteman]

I never said his armS where stubby, just his left. Also look at his shoulder joints. In the movie they sort of round off INTO his body. The SS piece's arms look like they are pegged in with a large gap.

Like a normal human head????:confused: What kind of shaped head do you have?? One like The Leader?? What are you looking at?

No offense to you personally dude, but I just don't see what they hell you are seeing!

[The Batman Professor]

Umm, no. All the pieces I own are 100% statue and polystone at heart. :sly2:

You're missing my point. These are mass produced items, resin (polystone) poured into molds and painted in a factory. This entire hobby was born out of the love for Aurora models of the 60's and later the garage kit boom of the 80's and 90's. I love this stuff as much as anyone on this forum, but I have no allusions. These are big boys' toys.

I hardly consider these toys not are the mass produced. 500-1000 pieces (20 or less pieces per state) is HARDLY mass produced. They are limited edition collectibles, just like any statue you get. Almost all statue one buys or collects are not one of a kind or nobody could afford them. Don't mistake the statues content as being toy-like. Also, them being made out of resin doesn't change anything. Pouring resin into a mold is no different than pouring bronze into a mold.

[The Batman Professor]

Here's a pretty accurate Robo head sculpt. I just wish NECA had painted these up better.

[The Batman Professor]

PPouring resin into a mold is no different than pouring bronze into a mold.

I think people who work in a foundry might disagree, but I understand the point you're making.

Ok, lets put this puppy to rest! I have pics from the movie, the SS PF, and the McFarlane Toy! So somebody, please tell me where the problem with Sideshow's Robocop is!? No, the SS Robo is not 100% perfect, and no statue is, but it is definitely in the high 90% accuracy range. This PF is smokin!

The McFarlane base had that tub of cocaine with it. Wonder why Sideshow didn't do the same :laugh:

I guess they couldn't throw in some Nuke either since it hadn't been invented yet.

I just hope that an ED-209 and Robocop 2(Caine) comes after this. :buttrock:

[The Batman Professor]

A scaled ED-209 would be impressive indeed.

[Who's who]

I pass.....I'll wait for the Cain robot.

Somebody else will make a Robocop.....the way it should be..............motionless.

[Red X]

He's not human anymore...it's the front on pic from SS site. The dome of his helmet, looks to bulged out on the sides and the dome looks too tall. He has no ears, so there's no need for this bulge. Which seems to give him an abnormal shaped head.

[riderV3]

A well-made Robocop statue is loooong overdue and this will do just fine for me!:buttrock:

Ah, so this is where we separate the "men" from the boys - your toys have to be motionless? I go back to what I say before: I have no allusions and make no distinctions, these are all toys, albeit very well crafted ones. The day a Sideshow piece or any other "high-end collectible" shows up on the floor of the Metropolitan Museum of Art or the Guggenheim, I'll believe differently.

If you think they are toys, then by all all mean play with them in your sandbox. I prefer to think of a $300 statue as a collectible piece of art. They are hand sculpted, hand painted, and hand numbered. There is nothing "toy" about them. :thumbs2:

Listen, the minute the companies started sticking pieces of cloth to sculpted works, the line between statues and dolls was wiped out. The argument could also be made regarding painting these pieces - very little true sculpture since the days of antiquity have had paint applied. And PLEASE, don't think I'm just talking Sideshow, I mean everything from Cinemaquette to Barbie.

You can say what you want about what crosses what line, but you saying that they are TOYS crosses the line of absurdity.

[Red X]

This debate is easily settled.


Toys are meant to be played with and statues are meant to be displayed.

Now you CAN display a toy, but playing with a statue might be kinda tough.


If you consider posing this guy "playing" then that's your thing.

[The Batman Professor]

What gets under your skin so badly when these things are called toys? Are we that insecure?

An example:
If you live in Alaska and own a convertible Corvette, is that not the essence of a toy?

[The Batman Professor]

Sorry gang, gotta go.

My mommy just said it was time for bed.

Next week we'll debate how many Terminators can dance on the head of a pin.

What a strange way of seeing it. I guess to each their own. For me a statue is a statue and a toy is a toy. (that also means that a toy is not a statue and a statue is not a toy - for me)

[vetteman]

I don't think he was joking. I guess we are insecure about our action figures. :laugh:

[Sgt Taz]

Dunno, I'd say he's just messing with us. Blurting out unlogical statements and having a chuckle at how we fall for them :)

[Sgt Taz]

An example:
If you live in Alaska and own a convertible Corvette, is that not the essence of a toy?Hmm...well, that depends... Was it displayed at the floor of the Metropolitan Museum of Art or the Guggenheim? :laugh:

[Trilogy]

That Batman Professor sure likes to stir the mix. :laugh:

[Kujo]

I kiiiiinda agree with TBP, these are big boys toys. I don't buy action figures anymore, but they led me on to the bigger, better stuff.


With the movement thing, it doesn't bother me.... quite a few people were initially complaining about not liking the pose... now you can pose how you like.

Also, doesn't the 1/4 endo have articulation? is that a "toy"?

It doesn't make it a toy as it was made for display, not play. That doesn't make pieces with articulation statues though either.

[Sniper]

Tempting.

indeed, kaza did you get the gun replica released a while ago?

[Sgt Taz]

I kiiiiinda agree with TBP, these are big boys toys.Ok ok...BUT, what if they were displayed at the floor of the Metropolitan Museum of Art or the Guggenheim? :laugh:

[Kujo]

lol

[Trilogy]

These aren`t toys period.

Are they Statues, that seems to be in debate. (I think they are)

So why not just class them as collectables and leave it at that.

[Nightcrawler777]

So has Anyone Confermed that Robo isnt plastic like Boba Was???

[Kujo]

sounds good to me :)

[Sinema]

I don't care if the likeness is a bit off...and I don't care that it's articulated.....and I don't care if it ends up being plastic or metal....and I certainly don't care if you call it a toy or a statue........I ordered this ***** and am happy I did.

[Who's who]

It looks ok but It's not what I envisioned.

Like the movie his helmet is tilted downward as through his looking down at you.

Bring on Cain

I forgot to mention.......it's a big boys toy.

No articulation for me.

Sorry but it's what like not what I want.

[Nightcrawler777]

So has Anyone Confermed that Robo isnt plastic like Boba Was???

Anybody????

Someone that went to the Con???

I ordered it but if he is Plastic that will kill it for me...

[Vracula]

im usually blown away with sideshow stuff but this robocop pf meh!

[DetroitSportsFan]

So has Anyone Confermed that Robo isnt plastic like Boba Was???

It doesn't looks like anybody can confirm that it's not plastic.

I'm assuming it will be plastic like Fett because of the armor and the articulation.

As a Fett owner, it doesn't take away from the appearance of the piece. It's just that some people feel it is overpriced for a large action figure.

[Red X]

Now I know why he has the slight look of I'm sucking on a lemon right now...

The Sideshow artist I talked to said it is polystone. No plastic.

Thanks For the Info...

I'm Keeping my Order..:thumbs2:

[siren3-4]

The Sideshow artist I talked to said it is polystone. No plastic.

On the video it showed the side of his leg opens and holds a spare gun . . . it would seem that they could not do that with polystone . .

[ta2215]

According to SS website, it is Polystone and PU.

[Nightcrawler777]

What is PU???

[Kujo]

it is a mixed media statue, so the gun section might be plastic... looks like it works the same way as the Hot Toys version from the video.....

[Reinhardt]

PU = polyurethane?

in other words, plastic.

[DetroitSportsFan]

Exclusive is SOLD OUT.

ES is 300.

[Hellboy]

300 is pretty low.

[PitViper]

300 is pretty low.

Yeah, 300 ES isn't bad!

[Bokasmo66]

Very nice low #. Kinda reminds me of the Roger Moore PF, w/out all hoopla.

[BigLeagueChu]

yeah, not bad es!

[premium_substit]

Very nice ES.. Glad I got it :) .. Still would have preferred removeable helmet, but opening thigh holster, data spike/hands, and the size/detail make this a great statue, plus the fact that you can pose his down/up etc. Check out the video on the product page, looks good ("there's a few extra things we need to do to this guy"... hmm..)

[Red X]

I'm still having trouble deciding if I want one, that head is horrid. But they still have time to fix, maybe I will preorder and if it sucks when the final product pics are released....cancel the damn thing, and then buy the hot toys one.
