I like the torso with battle damaged portrait. Any chance? I agree. No need to redo the Barton bust.

Sideshow never made a Robocop bust, that was Fred Barton who I mentioned in my first post. Sideshow just distributed for him. And the bust was a disaster, so much so that Fred dropped off the face of the earth afterward and shut down his website.

I would prefer a torso. I have the Barton bust and quite like it.

I'd like to do something larger scale Robocop, but if it's been done we aren't going to try to re-invent the wheel. The Barton bust looks pretty good. We thought that people would want a screen accurate ED-209 as well......
I think I'll stay away from pieces that have been done before, I want to do something unique that hasn't been done.
I'd totally do a 1-1, but only if Rob Bottin would be involved.

Agreed.
I had to make some repairs to mine and Barton blamed it all on fedex (which wasn't true. The bust was put together half-assed )
Chronicle could do so much better.
A 1:1 bust with removable head/neck pieces along with a battle-damaged variant.

I have been waiting since Chronicle made their presence known on here for a statue or bust of Robo himself. I wouldn't have the money nor the space for a 1-1 statue, though.
Personally (and I'm probably alone on this) I would love a 1/2 scale bust and battle damaged from the '87 film. Would be easier for me to display and easier on my wallet. A life size bust though as some on here are asking for, would be mighty tempting. Would just come down to price and overall size for me.
I get why the 1/6 Robocop statue was basically nixed, but it just seems odd to have made Cain and ED-209, yet no Robocop.

That one is made by fred, which only licensed to sell un US market. I think there are alot international robocop collector waiting for one.
I am looking for 1/2 robocop full statue as well.
Hope it won be too high, as US rate has raised so much recently

I'm going to call our licensor today and see if anyone has the rights currently. 1/2 scale would be a possibility since we are currently doing a few 1/2 busts...
