I'm not really sure what kind of response I will get here. I'm just really excited about a new figure I'm getting soon. It's a RoboCop figure from Hot Toys. It was released in late 2006, I believe. It's pretty accurate. My favorite feature is an opening right leg for the concealed holster. It originally retailed for $130. www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=4489&sku=6309Here's a review: www.mwctoys.com/REVIEW_082106a.htmThere have been three versions. Version 2 is from RoboCop 3, which is basically the same figure with the addition of the gun arm. Version 3 is also from the third film. Essentially version 2 with the jet pack. The helmet was removable on version 3, while the other versions have the helmet glued on. The first version is long sold out and most sought after of the three. One recently went for $365 on eBay. It was not MIB, but had been displayed and replaced into the box. I was lucky to find the first version on sale in a rather obscure place: Amazon.com. There was one left from the seller. It was $225 + $4.95 shipping. I debated for a good while before I bit the bullet. I decided this is the least I will probably EVER find this figure and I had to have it. -Josh

This is my custom RoboCop figure, using a vintage Horizon soft vinyl kit. It was cut into pieces and placed over a figure body. The face was painted by my brother. I'm not entirely satisfied with the end result. The color of the armor is too light and doesn't have a metallic enough sheen to it. There are also blue and purple highlights on the armor. I've started another one using another Horizon kit. I intend on addressing these issues this time around. Tell me what you think. -Josh
