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.
