RoboCop Vs. Terminator (Neca)

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

Hereīs the first look at the new RoboCop/Terminator hybrid from Frank Millerīs story: https://www.facebook.com/necaofficial/photos/a.122768954452165.19119.122743857788008/1541534429242270/?type=3&permPage=1

Awesome! Not 100% comic accurate but certainly captures the main details. This also seems to confirm my belief that the first prototype we saw for the Endocop was unrelated to this figure, and hopefully that one is still on its way. Robocop vs. Terminator is usually considered Robocop's (and the Terminator's) greatest comic book outing, but it has been criminally under-appreciated in recent history. NECA is honoring a great moment from Robocop's past with a nice new figure(s) so I don't see how you can be mad about that.

Its a shit book..But what Im mad about is Neca coming back for another double dip with again essentially the same fucking figure..Thats lazy.

While I don't so much agree with vegas-man about the comic, I agree considerably about this figure. I don't absolutely hate it but really just such blatant reuse-reduce-recycle goin' on here. Bah, they could have done even a bit better and the result would have been more than worth the effort. More than that is they had 2 odd years with this.. All-told, I just gotta concur this is rather weak.

Could you be more wrong? I am seriously interested to hear what you think is wrong with this comic, in more eloquent terms than 'it's shit'... to me Robocop vs. Terminator represents the peak of Robocop. I'm not saying everyone has to agree, but when you say one of the best parts of the Robocop franchise is 'shit' I gotta wonder how you earned that level 2 fan award. If someone came in here saying they loved the remake and the original movie was 'shit' we'd all be having a go at them, so I feel obligated to now tell you it sounds like you are talking out of your ass.

Hey kettle, the pot's calling. Seriously, come the fuck on Pimp, you've shit on a fair bit of arguably decent and better than decent Robo stuff yourself - that you did it with a bunch more words doesn't change the fact you were still saying essentially the same thing. That said can't believe you're bringing up that fan level shit again - who the fuck are you to talk about fan levels? Hell, you got your own 'award' by bitching more than anything else, much less than can be said in regards to Adam as far as I'm concerned. Then again only one even bringing up that shitty question is you as you bleat about an icon on a messageboard. Anyway, I'll grant yes Adam was definitely a bit harsh for my liking but he don't like RvsT, you do, leave it at that, at least as far as this thread's concerned. Make no mistake there's legitimate complaints about RvsT and while I personally like it a lot they're there. 

With that, I personally believe there's only one peak for Robo and that is the original film - anything else is a shadow, some closer shadows than others but still. It's the reason we have any of this and why any of us are here. That's why anyone calling it shit - be it in so many or more words - is automatically wrong, anything else is technically debatable to varying degrees. And that's all I care to say on this here since the actual RvsT comic, one's particular Robo tastes, and/or especially any shitty debate about one's supposed level of Robo fandom aren't really relevant points of discussion for this topic.

Hwho the fuck are you to talk about fan levels? Hell, you got your own 'award' by bitching.

This is 100% true and it did cross my mind when writing it but I still stand by what I say because there is no better topic to go to (flame) war with someone over than Robocop vs. Terminator! I mean, what is this site here for if not to debate Robocop? Even if that 'debate' results in calling each other wankers and bell ends... 

If I see someone say RvT is shit, I must say they are shit too. And maybe even that they even shit and rub it on their genitals. Because let's face it, Robocop vs. Terminator is god tier Robocop. We know this much, and when someone disagrees I will tell them how I feel. If someone came in here saying Peter Weller is shit we'd be responding in kind. So let the hatred for Robocop vs. Terminator, completely uncalled for mind you, pour in and I will respond in kind.


Back on topic. Haters gonna hate. Lovers gonna love. I don't even want none of the above. I just want this figure!

I'm not a fan of the hybrid design in the comic in the first place, so it's not surprising I don't like the figure. The rockets in the back look atrocious imho, and the rest is actually not that faithful, as Robo's torso and legs are mostly standard Robo stuff recycled, which shows how little confident they were about the whole concept.

An interesting touch though, is the silver chinguard, doesn't look bad at all.

I, for one, love RvsT. It has got to be one of my favorite comics, next to the original Marvel series. As for the figure, I understand that NECA did their usual "lets reuse what we've got to save money" but that's a standard in all of my favorite 80's toy lines (I'm looking at YOU Kenner...). At least they made sure to include the small details like the quad boosters on the legs and the rockets on his back. I do agree that they could have done with a new mold for the legs and torso to more accurately depict his rebuilt future war look.

I hate to say I told you so, but I did! Remember when they showed us the issue 4 Robocop prototype and everyone was like 'why did they give up on the previous one it looked so much better blah blah blah" and I was like "that is gonna be a different figure entirely"... well I am happy to say I am right if only because I want the whole line. The terminator dog is just an added bonus. The only problem with this figure is that I'm not gonna be content with just one!

Eh, looks like a pretty minimum effort on NECA's part once again. Should have done the damn figure right with new legs/torso, or not bothered doing it at all. They have become the masters of the rehash.

I'll definitely be adding EndoCop and Ultimate Future Robo to my collection. 
There was part of my wondering if they'd ever clear the dual license.  I hear what people are saying about the old moulds, but the line has to start somewhere. Even Neca's early Predators were pretty unextraordinary before they switched it up. If these sell well (and they're pretty affordable) maybe they'll invest in paying Peter for his likeness and then follow with Nancy.

I've been saying this for years... They need a Lewis figure in this line. Preferably swap-able heads to reflect her three different hair styles between the movies... NECA has done so many worthless characters in their other lines it would be better to invest in one that would actually be worth it.

I asked them a while ago on Twitter and they said the "studio doesn't hold likeness rights."  Now, that may be true as back in 1987, they wouldn't have had that in actor's contracts like they automatically would with a sci-fi/franchise film nowadays, but the same would have gone for Terminator 1, and they have produced figures from that.

Also, their Alien/Aliens line has started to include not only the Nostromo crew and marines but a Burke figure (not Robert, sorry!)  I am sure they could negotiate with Nancy and Kurtwood to use their likeness (Nancy would be a good shout as they could get some good variant use to make it worth their while.  3 different haircuts from the classic trilogy, R1 battle-damaged, police helmet look, 'bubble-gum' look, Kenner Ultra Police figure look.

If Peter isn't keen to license his likeness, I'd like to see them approach Robert and do a helmetless Robo 3 figure.

Thatīs sad, and that explains how bad the likeness on their past Sin City line looked. But I agree with you on that, we need more RoboFigures, as there are plenty of RoboCops there. Lewis should be a must have, and itīd be cool to have Reed, Emil or Clarence in the mix.

I would love a Lewis, Boddicker, and mutated Emil [s]toys[/s] action figures. Cain too?

Failing that maybe they could get away with a less direct face from the movies and go with a more stylised look? Not necessarily "What if Robocop was a DC animated cartoon?" but totally "What if Robocop was a DC animated cartoon?" 

I'll be honest the Termi-Robo fusion doesn't interest me.

Lewis, Boddicker and Cain would look pretty stupid when they try to build them by putting together a bunch of RoboCop parts.
Before any of those are released, Neca will make their own comic about robocop-alien-predator symbionts so they can reuse some more of their precious molds.
