I think straight on, i prefer the Barton Bust as it's just looks more like Weller than this bust. But all the other angles show how much more Armor comes with this CoolProps bust. It's a pretty sick piece.

I agree the mouth area is what's really throwing this off for me. Not sure I'd buy this for 3K plus shipping even if the bust was perfect, but it would be a hard decision. Right now it's pretty easy to pass on.

another thing is the shading on the CP Bust looks good, but the base coat it a little light and bright, it would be a shame it if turned out with a straight silver paint job like the Enterbay & Hot Toys figures, even the PCS isn't a perfect paint job.

Thanks for the heads up SHOGUN on the discount. Makes me wonder why it was so high in the 1st place.

Ahh yes that Weller pout. Weller has plump lips but maybe not as quite as plump as Barton's bust.

Love the more armor but somehow from an artistic POV less is almost more on Barton's. This one has so much it makes me really look for his hands.


For the money if I had the Barton bust I wouldn't be considering this. For my 3K the biggest hangups are the silicone's degradation and the paint would have to match exactly what is shown here.

Robo's paint is so iridescent and the reactive to the various lighting, it makes replicating it extremely difficult. Even in the convention pics, which is presumably the exact same bust, a lot of the color shading is gone.

it's a pick your poison situation for manufacturers. there is so much room for error. The first run Barton busts i think are as close as we're gonna get in terms of happy medium color tone without erring one way or there other. The Barton bust paint up still isn't 100% perfect as you said....The Chronicle busts were pretty good but the paint up wasn't perfect.



and the second run Sideshow busts has the ridiculous dark stripe on the top of the chest





this CoolProps piece is pretty sick tho, i really like it. It looks outrageous here:

[qz33]

If the CoolProps was $1800-$2200 it would be a no-brainer for me.

Wonder if the silicone adds much to the cost. I just do not see the benefit on this bust.

CoolProps mentions they used silicone so collectors can feel it- yeah no thank you.

I'm in for a battle-damaged one if they make it.

[qz33]

That'd easily be 4.5K and Full $750 Shipping by that point.

Probably, but if I'm going to spend thousands then I'd rather get what I want. Someone somewhere will eventually make one.

I kinda doubt it. Robocop is waning and Battle Damage is hard to do well in mass production and risking sales at a high MSRP. Even Queen could not do their Iron Man MK 50 justice.
Chronicle had a good chance but they squandered all their opportunities.
I'd love to be wrong though!
