I thought the same thing. Where is his back ?

Oh you know it always depends on sales. If this goes nowhere, gets too expensive, takes too long, etc. then probably not.
If it does gangbusters then yea.

Well, that is the smarter business decision which is why they are going that route, but unfortunate for fans.

If this sells well, they will make the BD version, that’s how it works

Everyone start ordering then because I want the battle-damaged version.

I doubt anyone's buying a $1200 (2K for me) bust of RoboArnie until it looks like Weller and doesn't have a squashed head!

Ya, it being so flat in the back really kills it a bit. But damn, I don't see another Robo bust coming along anytime soon by anyone else. So, its better than nothing. But that fact alone won't excuse poor QC on the delivered product. If this comes looking like anything close to the Barton bust I got, it's going back in an instant.

it has been confirmed that the logo is permanent, no option to display without (I personally don't care for logos/nameplates on things I display in my home, personal preference I suppose)

That said, if I am stuck with it, I prefer it to be the logo I have seen since 1987 and not the current version without the tapered sides.

anyone else have opinions on the accuracy of this logo and what are your personal preferences on logos. Seems like the option to display with or without would please all IMO.

Remember they might not have any choice about putting on a logo sometimes the licensor insists on it.
I personally have always liked the robocop logo but agree I’d like to see it accurate to the original font.
The most concerning thing is the mouth, how can a company with probably the best reference material available for all things robocop get it so wrong and not notice it?
A quote from the email
Quote:
we carefully poured over every available asset and reference material to give fans a museum-quality release
And yet they still got the single most important aspect of it wrong? It’s like chronicle are turning into Sideshow. Tbh all I expect is a sideshow quality bust and certainly not museum quality (if you’re aiming for that why not use translucent resin?)
I look forward to seeing the resculpt but I don’t hold out much hope, especially with it already up for preorder. I’ll be happy if I’m proven wrong though.
