ED-209 stop-mo puppet replica from Chronicle collectibles

[Enforcer]

Cain and ED look in scale to me. It's just the Robocop that looks large. Yet, the Robo I can only assume is supposed to be in scale with Cain so, what the eff?

Perhaps ED in that vintage picture is at it's lowest height point? Legs extended none whatsoever, rested position? So that Robo appears taller next to him. Yet Cain appears as a shrimp in comparison if we're to assume he's supposed to be 9' tall in movie form?

Maybe the whole 9' thing we shouldn't dwell on too much. It is a movie after all, and a "omg he's 9' tall!" is a lot more menacing than "omg he's 8 foot tall!" kind of like how in wrestling they exaggerate wrestlers height and weight to make them appear larger to the audience.

He doesn't scream "omg everybody's screwed!" height wise to me in this shot

It's all about perspective....

The topic has many factors to consider which makes for a fun, layered conversation.

Haha.

Yeah, for me the scale is not that important. The only thing that matters to me is what Phil Tippet studios used for the original production of these movies, and we already know these are cast part for part from his models.

Regardless of what the actual, technically exact scale is.. these are replicas of what was used to make the movies.
A true piece of movie making history..
Not some idealized toy trying to look like what was seen on screen... essentially, Chronicle's replicas ARE what was seen on screen.

Not really.

in this conversation we've been comparing and contrasting:
-the scale of the collectibles we will display on our shelves
-the scale of the characters as they appear on screen
-the actual size of the characters as they appear in real-life in behind the scenes and on set.
-the intended scale as the writers, producers and creators intended.


All of these bullet points relate directly to the Chronicle ED-209.

again, the Chronicle pieces aren't flawed, they're perfect and that what makes this scale discussion so intriguing.

Do not forget how it was mentioned a while ago about how the life sized props would compress and settle due to weight and construction materials, as compared to 1/6 scale models.

What SHOGUN said, but I guess we should stop discussing this since not everyone approves. I am being sarcastic, of course, in a very lighthearted manner. But perhaps I'll stop anyway. The frowning for obvious reasons is leaving a bad taste in my mouth, but I do understand it.

This discussion was quite intriguing. Perhaps if someone takes the time to create a new thread so we don't have to worry about disapproval, I will participate in it. I've seen and heard several fascinating things that I otherwise would still be oblivious to.
