I emailed Fred some questions, and here are his answers. It seems like his answer to my paint question is a bit different from what was posted earlier. Still, insanely excited about this! 28" tall baby!!
1. How many busts are you producing?
200-250 Selling out very quickly.
2. Regarding the paint, I hear that we can pick our paint preference?
Not exactly accurate. I am going to choose the paint scheme then they are all going to be painted to match the master. Of course, these are all hand painted here at my studio in Los Angeles, and after all, I am not a robot. I am a Robotman. There will be artistic variance from unit to unit. I will decide what looks best in person. I have seen the original paint job on the original Robocop and what is on screen and what it looks like in person are two different things. It must look good in person. Not just what will read on film or photographs. Believe me, it will be fantastic. It has to please me and MGM, so you know it will be right. Besides, the paint changes so much from movie to movie and practically scene to scene. I hope to please everybody, but one man’s greenish blue is another man’s bluish green. Upon request, you can receive an unpainted unit in the grey primered state. There is no discount for that, however.
3. When do you anticipate having pics of a prototype?
3/7/11
4. I would like his color scheme from the first movie, but don't know if he has different looks throughout the film.
I’ll do what I can.
5. Do you have final pics of the sculpt itself?
The proto shots are 99% there. It was only missing the shoulder rings.
6. What are the dimensions of the bust?
Approx: 28”H 17”W 12”D
