Your Move Creep!

Oh, and uh by the way, Robocop is wider than Angel, and is just a mm or two thinner than the SS Hulk. He is wider than Jason and when his gun is over his head with his arm ****ed, he is just as tall as Lord of Darkness!

YOU STILL THINK ROBOCOP IS TOO THIN???????

Glad i cancelled this one

Thanks for the pics L. Sorry man, I just couldn't help myself saying these, I have ta say that the pics are only futher evidence of major disappointment. The vinyl kit which came out 20 years ago has a better accuracy.

Yup, it's too thin.

Yup, it's inaccurate.

Yup, it's out of proportion.

Yup, the visor is over sized.

Yup, it's in the wrong color.

Yup, the face sculpt is off.
Peace.

My god that piece looks horrible. Those little stumps for arms are laughable and don't even get my started on the face. I never noticed that his head is almost the size of the entire torso.

Check these out. This time, pay attention to the size of the chest and arm armour.

Now, compare the size of the head to the rest of the body.

Nice comparisons Thx217, makes me wonder what Sideshow usually use for reference at the time of creating iconic characters like this, if not frames from the actual movie. It's always difficult to work with hard surface designs, without proper schematics and information. Movie merchandize is the easiest to criticize, since it can be examined directly from the source. If it's to be completely precise only direct molds or involvement with the original team of designers seem to replicate the original representation everyone can be happy about. Would be great if Sideshow and Phil Tippett started collaborating, like they do with SWS. They would produce some memorable work together.

I am looking at it, and I just don't see the problems. Here are some pics for everyone to see, and a comparison with the HH Angel statue since that is the biggest HH statue out at almost 18" tall. Check it out, yo, I am a happy, happy man!

Thank you for the great pics Loricstone, I think as long as the people who purchased the product are pleased is what really matters. Despite how others may feel it's still a great work of art based on a character a lot of people are fond of, which always has a double-edged sword, since the character will be prone to tons of critique warranted or not, as everything is absolutely subjective in art.
