RoboCain, ED-209 and more statues coming from Chronicle

-----------------------------------

A brand new company, called Chronicle, is bringing us the ultimate Robocop collectibles.
Coming straight out of the master molds from Tippett studio, expertly molded by Anticlaus, these statues will come with a metal plaque hand-signed by Phil Tippett himself.
Package will be jam packed with cool features too.
Cain perfect replica from the 1/6 stop-motion puppet:

"Manufactured and distributed by Toynami."

Atleast now I don't think we'll have to worry about the prototypes being tremendously better than the final product. Toynami usually deliver pretty much what they show.

Still, those prices... but they are probably somewhat justified, considering these were molded from the original puppets.

This is amazeballs! Yeah that shit costs some good moolah, but well worth it - It'll probably be some of the best (and only) RoboCAIN figures we'll ever see. Glad that Tippett's on-board on this, being from the original miniatures and designs should make for excellent pieces, especially if the manufacturing part does well.

Shit, RoboCAIN is awesome enough, but nice to see a good Robo figure or two and ED, and some other stuff as well (failed prototypes would be neat). 

Anyway, awesome news, thanks MkII! Also thanks to all involved, especially anitclaus - Really glad to hear he's still working on getting us awesome Robo stuff.

I, too, have been jokingly toying with the notion of crowd funding my RoboCop habit.  The last handful of years and the few ahead seems like a tremendous kick in the balls to die hard fans who simply can't afford this shit.  Or if you're like me, 'this shit' being ALL OF IT:  All the kits and statues and high end collectibles.  I want the whole lot.  NECA, Hot Toys, Enterbay, PCS, Play Arts Kai, and of course the new Tippet stuff.  Sadly I might have to settle for NECA for now and maaaybe sell off enough of my old Hot Toys to be able to afford their new Robo fig.   But Vegas is right, the tricycle motors come first.

same here. when the new ed arrived, I told my wife, it was half as much as I paid for it, just so she won`t  tell me I´m an idiot. There is no way on earth, she will find out, I paid 1.200€(this is what I´ll have to pay to get it to germany) for a statue.
A statue I´m not really into, since poseability is my main concern in robo stuff.
I´ll come up with something outside the regular cash flow, to pay for this.
I just hope, hot toys doesn´t release a cain figure half a year after that.
And even then, 1/6 scale is just my second choice, because I´d like everything in scale with the figma robo.
Ahhhhh this has been going on all my life. I just want robo, ed, cain and maybe clarence with awesome poseability in a small scale, but these toy companys keep teasing me and as I get older, the shit keeps blowing out of proportion, cash wise.
I even set up a small machine shop, to articulate and improve an argonauts cain, but don´t really have the time to proceed getting it done.

Sorry about the rant, but I thought I´ll share my feelings.

So the RRP is on average $1,000? Well I guess seeing as it's modelled from the stop motion puppet, it would be that big of a deal. It kind of makes me think that the models from Hot Toys and Enterbay can't match their RRPs with that. (What the hell am I saying, of course they can't, Chronical are using the original models from the films, they can't get any more movie accurate than that.)

I can honestly say that I never thought anything like this would ever happen. Amazing!

And while Cain is a pricey mofo, with that many small, detailed, and intricate parts, and not mass-produced to the scale of something like Hot Toys also pricey items, I think it's a fair price.

I just hope that ED's smaller size and more limited parts count means it'll be cheaper! He's the one I'm most excited for.

I'm just confused about the prospect of Robo himself; the stop-motion Robos were modified Max Factory model kits, IIRC.

There was a reference to Robo being a modified off-the-shelf model kit and, after looking through screencaps, I matched it to the Max Factory kit. The elbow and chest bolts match up, and the MF model is still the only kit that has some particular details.

-----------------------------------

Here's more info on the true-to-life CAIN models available for purchase.

CAIN of Robocop 2 is one of the most complex stop-motion models ever created. (Craig Hayes designed him this way, after being dismayed to find an unauthorized Japanese model of ED209 shortly after Robo1 release.) CAIN is *the* most complex model ever produced as a collectible. He's got more than 300 parts! The collectible model does not articulate. CAIN is available on a limited run, and we do expect to sell out prior to the holidays.

The 10-month payment plan breaks down to $122.50 per month after the $130 initial payment (shipping included). 

Yes, Phil Tippett oversaw every aspect of the replica, and the Chronicle model is the only CAIN model on the market with Phil's official stamp of approval for accuracy. This is as close to the screen-used CAIN as a collector can own. Whew! Did that clear up all the inquiries?

ED-209

We have spoken with Mark at Tippett Studio and we have an announcement to make regarding ED-209. Hrodgar pointed out a few details on our ED-209 that aren't 100% correct to the first film. After speaking with Phil and Mark this particular puppet was modified for Robocop 3. We are going to make the changes to the hoses on the elbows and decal changes as needed. 

We want to make the best product available and we are willing to listen to the fans for without you, we are nothing.

Thanks to all that gave us feedback regarding ED-209 and we hope to have updated photos this week. This will not slow production and ED-209 will go up for pre-orders soon.....

Chronicle update regarding international order for Cain.
"Our international distributors will be taking orders soon. We will be sure there is plenty of Cain to go around to our international customers. If you've already placed an order on the website, don't worry. It will be shipped as planned! Thanks for your interest and for loving this crazy robot as much as we do!
A special gift is in the works for all Cain buyers before Comic Con, stay tuned...."

-----------------------------------

Wait wait wait... Cain is confirmed as being non-articulated? Seriously? Then why even bother casting all of those small parts? Might as well reproduce the rubber stunt versions if you're not going to make it poseable.

Besides, original RoboCain puppets have been auctioned off before, so there is something more "close to the screen-used CAIN as a collector can own": a screen-used Cain.

I really don't want to rain on parades, but come on. Unless the parts are cold-cast metal, there's no reason it shouldn't be able to move! Wait... I hope they're not doing cold-cast metal. For for $1300!


-----------------------------------

CAIN MKII

Wed Jun 04, 2014 9:31 am



-----------------------------------

Casting each parts was necessary to build a new master with crisp details whatever the angle of view and avoid the loss of a mass molded replica.
I own the rubber stunt version and trust me, it's an amazing piece but a lot of details were lost.
It was also necessary to allow Phil Tippett giving the pose he wanted to the master before casting the prototype.

Screen used Cain was auctioned for $30.000-$50.000 in the past : I will never be close to that one, and it was a badly shape Cain puppet with broken and missing parts.
A one of a kind piece but nowhere as perfect as this replica, built with every pieces molded as new.

You want a reason why it couldn't be articulated?
The Cost to make it sturdy enough (metal parts of this precision are prohibitives) and the price an average customer can pay for it.
$1300 is already a load of money for most of us, how much are you ready to pay for an articulated replica?
Trust me I would die for one but there is a limit to my incomes. Harsh reality :(


-----------------------------------

RoboTrap

Wed Jun 04, 2014 10:07 am



-----------------------------------

I never meant to imply that a screen-used Cain was cheap or easy to get, but the simple fact that they're out there kind of invalidates the "closest to the real deal you could ever get!" thing, even if that's true for most of us plebeians.

And while I was never expecting every individual piston and finger joint to work, having zero articulation is ridiculous. This design is undercut city, and you'd need to cast it in an extreme number of parts from the get-go to keep it from looking like a toy, so basic articulation at points like the shoulders shouldn't be out of the question.

Hot Toys' quarter-scale Endoskeleton is 1/3rd the price and you can move the individual pistons and finger joints. Yeah, yeah, it's manufactured in higher numbers and doesn't have production-pedigree like RoboCain here. I'm not denying the awesomeness of what they're doing, but not having basic articulation is just... dumb. It's so counter-intuitive when the design in question is one of the most complex stop-motion models ever made, practically defined by its insane flexibility and constantly shifting silhouette.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BpOn68HCIAAymMP.png


I too WISH they could have allowed for at least SOME minor articulation of his limbs so you could pose him a little different now and then. Would make it even harder to pass up this holy grail of a figure....

@fummelcop.
What you see on this photo is the disassembled stop-motion puppet.
Each parts was casted and then used to build the master.
Tippett gave it the right pose he wanted for Cain.
Then the prototype was molded from this master.
No way Anticlaus will do that. He's under contract with Tippett studio who was hired to make a perfect Cain replica.
He doesn't hold the right to sell anything or it would mean a shit load of troubles for him.

But it would most certainly rock like hell if we could get a kit :)

A little trivia from Phil Tippett, thanks to Paul E. francis from Chronicle collectibles:
"ED-209 has a single tooth, a razor sharp tooth in his lower jaw.
I have illustrated this tooth in pics and it was only present on the puppets.
Some things were not copied 100% to the full size Ed-209.
We have replicated this tooth on our replica and the first time you may have noticed this little detail.....
So the question is, why is that tooth in ED-209's mouth?

Phil Tippett: "It was put in there so I could easily find the center of the head for each shot."

That is very very cool.

It would be amazing to see what ED may have looked like if they carried on with this design. I'm not going to lie though the final design trumps this one.

I'm glad they didn't go with ED having arms, it makes him more unique when compared to Robo.

CRAIG DAVIES: "I wanted to do something that was more animal than human -like a Brahma bull combined with a locomotive. We went through a lot of animal shapes. But Tim Hunter -who was still on the film as director at that point -thought it should have more of a human appearance, because human beings are the biggest monsters of them all. That was his thinking and I think he was right."

I want a poseable cain, but can´t have it. I also want an unmasked robocop, but can´t have it.
enterbay doesn´t count, because robocop 3 doesn´t exist in my world.

Poseable Cain? Well you can always buy one of the stop-mo puppets for $50.000.
For me a Cain statue is as close as I can get of the real thing.
To compare a picture to a statue is kind of weird.
At least with the statue you have a real object you can look under every angles to catch all the details you will never see on pictures.

Now what about this missing stunt Cain you were talking?
I never heard of it. Can you please be more specific, i'm interested.

Here is another gem:

That pic is awesome. 
I wrote sunt puppet, but actually meant stop motion puppet.
They actually still sell these for 50.000?
I thought it was just that one piece.
If I had 50.000 to spare, I wouldn´t buy the puppet. I´d pay some security guy to let me in and take it all.

I`d like to have the statue too, but in germany I´d have to pay $2.190,05 to get it.
Cronicle doesn´t sell outside the us and the only suppliers in europe sell to retailers only.
An articulated version would be a whole different story, but a statue just isn´t worth that much to me. Even if it´s cain.
Also accuracy isn´t the most important factor for me. I prefer the hot toys ed209 over the cronicle ed209 just because it is articulated.
You are the guy who bought the stunt cain aren´t you?

Oh yes, Cain missing Stop-motion puppet, I remember that one. Such a shame...and damn the lucky bastard who bought it lol
$50.000 is the amount Phil Tippett would agree to sell it. Totally worth it but far above my capabilities.
An articulated replica would have been  so fraking awesome, the ultimate Cain.
But sadly, cost production are so insane. Even if it was built, it would stay far from our hungry paw.
For now the statue is already a nice catch....and who knows what tomorrow will bring ;)

Yep, I'm the proud owner of th Cain stunt dummy.

I second that. Most of the time, I give the pose I want to my figures and expose them, rarely to be touch again.
A statue with the right pose is all that I need. But it is not always the case so I feel happy to have an articulated figure I could pose as I want.
ED-209 was approved by MGM studio. He's coming ;)

I'm with you guys, outside of getting it into a particular pose, major/full articulation is a bit asking for trouble to me. Again, I'm wowed by the immense detail of this piece, there's really nothing like it.

Seems to be the case with the ED as well, all those pieces and bits, this too will likely be an amazingly detailed and featured figure as well. Awesome stuff, what more is there to say really?

Articulation has a point with a RoboCop figure, but little when it comes to ED and Cain. My NECA Ed-209 stands in the same pose I gave it when I put it on the shelf, which is just the standard pose. Articulation is a neat extra but ultimately it is pointless with these two.

Sun Jul 06, 2014 11:20 pm



-----------------------------------

Well, there isn´t much you can do with the neca ed 209.
It is missing important points of articulation, like the ankles, so there really isn´t much you can do with it.
Hot toys ed 209 is very different. It can be put in a lot of cool poses from the movie.
I don´t sit down and play with the figures, but from time to time, I get bored with the poses certain figures have and change it up a little. And that is just not possible with statues.

Yeah, I've seen another bad plate - unless these are your pics? https://www.flickr.com/photos/soulburn3d/sets/72157651506251745/

Have to say though, that niggle aside, the quality of the actual piece itself seems to be extremely high. I know this costs considerably more than Hot Toys or Enterbay, but it does look from those high res pictures particularly, that Toynami are delivering A1 quality on the pieces.

I imagine with the plates it's just probably something silly like how they're handling them to get them signed... might be genuine Phil Tippett damage ;)

I can't afford any of this high end stuff, but I can give credit where it's due; these seem to be the best RoboCollectables money can buy. 

Just a shame that the animation maquette of Robo himself was never intended to be seen for long, or else I bet they could produce the best figure of Murphy too, as well as these robots. Would love them to just extend their brief a bit and just design one and produce it to the same high standard... though I'd not have any money for that either, I'd at least know what I wanted to do with any lottery winnings/bank robbery loot :D

Regarding your last paragraph.   From Chronicle via Facebook:
"Tippett Studios will be making the masters using their R2 figure or we may scan their hero costume and make an entirely new figure under Phil's supervision. 
 
We will be making a limited amount in R1 and R2 colors so people can display him with their Cain or Ed."
