RoboCop 2 Cain Moderoid plastic model coming from Good Smile

Here's some pics from an amazon japan review. Look at how poseable this thing is! Goes from the neutral powered-down pose to fully splayed out!! Damn!! Even the toes move!

Yeah, I'm definitely hoping to pick this up seeing as the previous offers have been rather small in scale. This will still be on the small scale, but has the potential to look great with custom enhancements. I have a version of the old Argonauts resin kit that was released by Monsters in Motion but resin casts unfortunately lack the sharpness in detail that an injection moulded kit has.

Actually looking at it closer, is it my imagination or are the metal toes/claws too over scaled?

 

[Otomofan]

I don't know. They seemed awfully careful about getting all the parts right, so I don't know why they'd mess up the toes. I just remember them from the movie cause he used them to lock himself in place. Such a cool stop motion effect by Phil Tippett.

It's not a well balanced design so maybe they bumped up the size to help keep the figure more balanced?

Do you guys think the main body/torso should be bigger too? I think he should be bulkier. I still really like him though!

Finally someone posted pics of Cain next to MAFEX Robo....looks amazing together!

This is a really nicely painted and finished example. I sure don't have that kind of skill. The scale looks great though. Would look even better with the "blue" Robo from RoboCop 2 of course....especially the battle damaged version pulling out the brain!

Yeah, I'm excited about this kit, simply because I loved the Phil Tippett design and this is the most affordable option for purchasing a Cain. I just feel the main torso needs to the more substantial and bulky. I'm looking forward to picking him up.
