So far, it looks great! Pretty sure it's the same body as the Rambo 3 figure (as expected). Interestingly, they did not provide both short and long neck pegs when using the jacket.
Really too bad... I thought the casting choice was very good.
As much as I like the original Crow film, it was not a particularly good comic adaptation, as it was really very different from the book.
I feel like the issue with all of the Sideshow sculpts, is that they are kind of overselling the squint. I'm very happy with my SS Blondie, and I know that the Clint squint is almost a trademark for Eastwood, but some of these sculpts would have looked much better if they weren't squinting so hard.
It's an odd figure, but looks great in the collection.
The color is not ideal, but it's actually surprisingly accurate to many scenes in Robocop 3 (which it is supposedly from?).
Thanks for that comparison. I'll be happy enough. Would have preferred a battle-damaged helmet to go with the chest, but the biggest improvement (over paint) would have been matte finish on the hand/forearm. I never bought the first one, so I was always going to purchase this regardless.
I'm still holding out some hope... even Sideshow commented on their own video. The thumbnail image definitely looks darker than the unboxing. Here is the comment:

This Hot Toys Robocop figure does have visible blue and purple...
Me too... but the other 2 figures turned out great (even if the body wasn't accurate for First Blood). Both are miles better than the Stallone Shop figure. I pre-ordered immediately.
Because I'd been waiting for a couple of years for Action Toys to finally put them up for pre-order (think they first previewed them in 2020?), I actually had forgotten about them. So I missed the pre-order almost EVERYWHERE. Finally found them on one site that still had them... hopefully I'll...
I'm sure it's too simple, and a little silly, but I'd love to see figures from classic Shaw Bros, like:
or their street clothed versions like
Or the 4 chiefs from the Chi Sha gang:
Or the Master of the Flying Guillotine, or something like that...
