Debating Paul about the Robocop saturation is a losing battle, for the record. Maybe the ED209 deal made him sour with hot toys offering for a far cheaper price. I don't know. But I gauge saturation based on the secondary market because there's certainly nothing you can buy of Robocop right now from any high end collectibles company anywhere in the 1/4 scale or higher. I think CC's upcoming 1/2 bust is it. There's plenty of a lolrobocop 3 piece from Enterbay on eBay, and that's it. But that's our side. It's his money on the line. I might be wanting to make damn sure what I produced sold enough units to make it worth the effort, too.

What we need is someone who will take that chance with a "premium" format of Robo. PCS sort of did that and what they produced is really nice with the ideal pose imo but it's over and done with now. It's an excellent placeholder piece but that's all it is, a placeholder for the 1/4 grail when/if someone produces it. Also the professionals who worked on the Robocop movies who could team up with collectible producers aren't getting any younger so it's not like we have a 50 year window of opportunity here starting in 2016 for any scaled Robo statues...

But for right now what we have on the table this second Robocop wise is a 1/2 bust by CC. One piece at a time and back to the waiting game afterwards...

I would really like to see a 1:1 King Conan bust

1:1 scale is where it's at! "Anything Else, Is Just a Toy"

No one has done a 1:1 battle damaged Robocop bust in translucent resin with a removable helmet.

I was about say, where is the saturation? I sure as hell don't see it.

This reminds me of when CC felt the Stargate Anubis piece wasn't selling well, so they thought about not producing Horus or Ra. Collectors spoke with their wallets and now both Anubis/Horus are now sold out.

This is subjective, I like 1:1 for sure, but I simply don't have the space for them all, never mind the money. Go and look at Sideshows new 1:2 Wolf Predator bust, it is superior to the 1:1 version they did. I'm sure Chronicle will do great things with the scale also (and already have with the Arnie bust) I prefer 1:2 when done right as I can actually buy and appreciate them.

Excellent post, really agree with you there
As long as they keep the robocop licence
Makes sense ,eventually we will get a robocop statue ,
We've had lots of toys but statues only 2 in last ten
Years...and nothing from part 2 or
Any sort of battle damaged version..
Paul if your reading this , produce one
And you will see if it sells out or not!!
And yes the pcs piece is great,but I want one from
Cc!!

With the 10-month payment plan. Surely it will sell out.

That's one of the things I love about Chronicle that ECC/Cinemaquette have yet to adopt.
