What you laughing at? No way HT can top that.

Just posted on FB. Real nice custom by VIVA

Looks like every previously released figure will be re-released by HT soon. They are definitely learning from Hasbro.

Nah, if they were following Hasbro's business model they'd release new figures the first half of the year and atrocious repaints of the exact same figures for the second half of the year

With poorer quality plastics that are already discoloured and warped in the shop.

lol, yes. And "repaints" is actually a misnomer on my part, as Hasbro doesn't paint anything anymore; they just pour a different color of poor quality plastic into the mould.

Oh wow what an amazing sculpt.

The reason it looked like hell was because, at the time, Peter Weller was focusing on his career as an art historian and had basically disowned Rocobop. He would not license his likeness. After the online community rallied to have a bronze statue put up in Detroit of Robo, he's come back around and has embraced the character. My guess is that we will see a very nice Weller head sculpt, though I can't imagine it will have a removable helmet. Probably two different heads.

Cain will probably stretch to touch the $500 mark.

 

[MarrowMan]

will Cain come with his "Nuke" compartment, and a huge red vial for him to lust after?

[KingGrayskull]

Anyone in for PERS?

 

[Biojex]

What about the brain with eyeballs?!

 

[RIDDICK]

CAIN'T WAIT!

 

[Gary23]

Robo and Cain! Stolen or credit card, your coming with me!

 

[Sined]

CAIN'T WAIT!

That's a good one!

I wonder how HT will manage the legs articulation on Cain. This is a tough call actually. We've got robot with one heavy upper body here.

hmm maybe the stand will have to take the extra weight

 

[Sined]

Yeah, the stand will save the day of course.
But it would be nice to have some stand-by-his-own option too.

 

[a-dev]

A third leg perhaps?

 

[Monger]

If I recall Cain's feet are pretty big. They should be able to keep him steady in figure form, but then you have to worry about the knee joints not getting weak after a few years. This stuff isn't diecast though so it really shouldn't be a problem.

 

[CriterionCollector]

FAP!FAP!FAP!FAP!!!!!!

lol You never know what is going to happen when it comes to RoboCain
So many gadgets there
