He dropped his partnership with Toys Wonderland and I'm not sure he's said where he'll be getting his figures from now on, but he hasn't done a figure review since Boba Fett eleven days ago and he typically reviews every single Hot Toys release. Since Boba Fett, Hot Toys has released Kate Bishop, Doc Ock, C-3PO and Robocop.

In all fairness to Hot Toys, we're not looking at their 1/6 figure through a motion picture film camera in hand. So they can't very well get away with the same photo reactive paint trick as the screen used suit, or we'd all be looking at a green robot in hand. The whole point of the film's effects team using the photo reactive paints was so it would look like a neutral metallic with an iridescent sheen when filmed and graded.^ Yup. It's green with purple hues and some blue. It's not god damn silver stupid hot toys.

No it’s not. It tries to be and fails. But it’s a great film compared to 3
This thread may have been posted before, and covers a lot of specifics about the various colors of the suit.
That very well may be is, quite honestly though, not our problem.
HT advertised a R1 accurate paintjob and didn't deliver.
If they can't procure, what they announce, then a counter-announcement would've been in order.
They didn't + they let everybody believe this is what will be delivered = false advertisement.
And let us be clear: they COULD HAVE done it. Painting gunmetal with tints is not rocket science.

Just like the film
To be fair, I quite liked it. I wouldn’t have called it Robocop though - I get it, the association etc, it should have been more like “Injured-Man-Robot-Suit-Bloke” or something else catchy.
But considering their latest work, I think they can do much better now.
Am I the only one that sees this as way more blue and less gray than the first?
Also purple what? He’s not ******* purple in the first film. He’s not Barney… definitely had an iridescent bluish/magenta tint sure… but he’s not purple. Honestly I think the final product looks closer to the first film and better than the prototype

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 highlights over the chrome finish. It was difficult to capture these details with our studio lighting but rest assured the figure is not monotone chrome. You can reference the thumbnail of this video for a more accurate look at this figure's finish. Thanks for watching and letting us know your concerns!

Sigh. Yeah Sideshow, so did MMS202. People are obsessed with ''hues'' like as though that's all it needs. The base color is wrong. It's way too bright. Look at the Dark Spidey repaints

thats what it's supposed to look like. It should look like that in any lighting conditions, not just specific lighting that ''brings out the hues'' if you squint.
Here's another repaint side-by-side from Unreal Toys that I saw just today

Man I need to get mine repainted. Not sure who to get it done from.
I thought this was a movie shot at first. Is this the figure that just came out?

Another video
It is, but there's no way to know how much of a role lighting and post-processing play in the photo until people starting getting this thing in hand.
This is just the Sideshow video, re-edited and respoted by someone else.
