Request for a 1:1 Robocop statue

We are doing a lot of projects with our retail partners like GameStop. Those relationships will allow me to keep making high quality replicas. Jurassic Park and our Buck Rogers Starfighter are the next pieces to drop. JP will be the Hammonds Cane followed by some dinosaurs.

We are being far more careful with what we chose to produce. Just because the die hard fans say it will sell, it probably won't.

Robocop is an evergreen, but I want to go after new films and dabble with the older stuff. With Terminator Genisys we saw what we can do with several well placed and thought out products.

Robocop is heavily saturated, I doubt we'll revisit the property except to produce the 1-1 Cain head, but it will most likely be limited to 100 pieces.

So what if you get enough people together to put money down now for a 1:3 Robo or new Life-Size bust via a Go Fund Me or Kickstarter concept?

It would be cool to do that and watch it go through the Concept/Planning/Design stages

that's a good idea, no risk for Paul as he has the money up front and guaranteed orders, and if the project doesn't go ahead there's no money lost.

I can't tell you how dissapointed I am to hear that especially with the resources you have at your disposal. The prototype suits and robocop himself was something I really wanted to see happen.

We may revisit Robocop at some point in the future, right now I'm sitting on ED-209 and a handful of Cain statues from the second run.

One thing I will point out regarding PCS, they have been doing this a while longer and have a larger customer base. Most new companies let Sideshow distribute their products. We wanted to be more like Toynami, sell our own products in the USA and let Toynami wholesale overseas. So most companies have success dealing with Sideshow due to the fact that they have a mailing list that's unrivaled in this industry. Now I see Mondo selling through them as well, I guess their sales on their own weren't what they had expected.

We're trying to sell pieces ourselves and build our customer base.

I've seen our finished Conan and it's going to be spectacular, but once again we've made something big and heavy.....

We are going to be releasing the Starfighter and 1/2 Arnold Genisys Bust soon. Both will be limited edition and we'll continue to sell half here and half overseas.

I hope that you guys will like King Conan, it's going to be awesome and we will make him limited edition out of the gate.

Well, save an ED and Cain for me.

Two things not working in my favor right now: 1) Space 2) Money lol!

Is there some announcement?

[El Diablo]

Just watched the Facebook video, yep it's definitely coming and they're using a lifecast of peter weller they have for the likeness. So this should easily be the most accurate one available.
Now I just need to decide whether or not to get rid of my Barton bust, chronicles will no doubt be better but the way things are getting priced in the uk at the moment it'll be mad expensive

Oh and Paul if you see this, is there any chance of using translucent resin for the face? You may as well make this the ultimate robo 1:1 especially as toynami has experience in painting translucent resin with the stuff they have done for Ecc.
