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.

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. _________________ I don't wanna pay that, PhotoBucket. Now maybe you haven't heard, but I'm the guy in old Archive.

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. _________________ I don't wanna pay that, PhotoBucket.

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.
