I had two of these figures growing up and both said different phrases, one had"Freeze! *leg holster sound*""*gunfire*""Uphold the law!"and the other said"You called for back-up?""Don't move!""*gunfire sounds*"Were there any other variants?
>>11754954Is that the Toy Island 8 inch line?There were 3.>Weapon arm>Flight pack>BazookaMy younger brother had the weapon arm one. https://www.figurerealm.com/actionfigure?action=seriesitemlist&id=4406&ssid=3
>>11755006>Is that the Toy Island 8 inch line?Yeah, did all three have individual audio chips?
I still have mine from my childhood. Mine says:>DROP IT!>DRUGS ARE TROUBLE>Ricocheting gun soundLooks just like the one in the OP picture, too. I don't remember any accessories besides his pistol, which granted I lost thirty years ago.
>>11755012Yep.The two you had were Weapon Arm and Flight Pack respectively, and >>11755037 had Bazooka. >>11755037That photo archive I linked to shows them on card with their weapons. Yours also came with a bazooka and a couple of missiles.
>>11755037>his pistol, which granted I lost thirty years ago.Same, why the hell were guns so hard to keep a hold of as a kid?
>>11755042>Yours also came with a bazooka and a couple of missiles.I believe you, though seeing that got me thinking. I would have gotten mine around 1998, which is a few years after that initial release you linked to. I really don't remember a bazooka (again, long time ago), so I also wonder if my potentially-later figure just got rid of that accessory to save money or whatever. More to OP's point, are the different sound variants all from different years/releases of the figure? Or were there multiple phrase variations released at the same time?
>>11755052>More to OP's point, are the different sound variants all from different years/releases of the figure?They all came out in 93, but they hung around for years. I think my bro got his 95 on clearance at TRU, but I remember seeing them for a few more years after that. I don't think there was ever a rerelease. I remember finding a whole rack of them on the side of the end cap while hunting for Star Wars stuff, probably around the same time you got yours. I was definitely working at that point, so 97-98 seems about right.
>>11755160I've seen robocop figures as late as 99 and into the early 2000s. Toysrus had a huge problem with backstock on older items that around 2003 I was able to find an original mighty morphin power rangers (1993 release) and robocop figures.Im not sure if it was just a local thing but I heard that a few stores around my area pulled it all out and put it on the floor as a massive green tag clearance thing.
>>11755525It pisses me off no-end that there aren't more modern figures, I know we got the Re-Action figures and they're "okay" but Robocop is such a toyetic property, the could easily have done another cartoon or something (just started watch Alpha Commando and that shit's awesome, reminds me of Spider-Man Unlimited). I have this Nightfighter Robocop (image taken from a Pixel Dan review) and I love this little bastard, I even have the Re-Action version, which is the only tribute version that keeps the metallic blue parts, I love glow in the dark figures and God dammit I'd love to see a modern update. Fuck this boring ass future with its lame mass-retail "action" figures.
>>11755807All that said, there is a rumoured Amazon Prime series coming, if that comes to fruition and isn't totally shit, maybe something will happen on the toy front. Unlikely, but hope springs eternal.
>>11755817Wouldn't it be monkey pawed to be based on the remake?
>>11755807Yeah, I'd be happy for some RoboCop TOYS. The neca stuff and imports look great but they aren't for actual play. I've got one old RoboCop, it's missing pieces but I still like him. Imagine a real kenner homage styled line of RoboCop and terminators and aliens and predators. Lanard toys could handle the job
>>11755967I honestly think fusing the original Neumeier & Miner Robocop 2 (that they used as the pilot movie for Robocop The Series) with the Alpha Commando premise would be the best choice. But most likely it's gonna be focused around some female rookie cop who doesn't get any respect because she's a woman, completely disregarding Anne Lewis and the other strong female characters that exist throughout the whole franchise.
>>11756300>Lanard toys could handle the jobEither Lanard or Playmates, both companies do solid toy work. I think Playmates are better in the sculpt/paint department, but I fucking hate their hip joint design, honestly a simple T-hip would be better than the current setup.
>>11755807>>11756300During the pandemic I became obsessed with the idea of a Lanard Robocop line. Over the years I'd mention it on and off again here and there but I dont think I ever got around to sharing the concepts I came up with. Alot of these were spurred on by Robocop's MK11 cosmetics, and others were just asspulls I thought would prove to be fun toys. For a time I even humored the thought of a Robocop constraction line.
Every character in the line would have come with a robot animal buddy themed to their respective mission. It'd be 90% Robocop repaints, most with new heads or modular arm segments, in addition to different paint jobs.
I'm still surprised NECA didnt make Cable.
Almost done, sorry for taking up the thread. Might aswell catbox the remaining two pics. https://files.catbox.moe/2hp29u.jpghttps://files.catbox.moe/ffnt59.jpg
>>11756426I forgot to note, Neural Net Robo was supposed to be an update of Nightfighter Robo. He'd still glow in the dark but he'd also have a light up visor and siren ontop of his head in addition to coming with a little robot dino buddy. I got the idea for the robo buddies from the then concurrent Corps releases. I just loved the robot animals and ideally I wanted these guys to stand at around thst 5.5 or 6 inch mark so they could scale with modern lines.
>>11756399Y'know I've had Terminator on the brain alot lately and after the last few /toy/ threads dedicated to the subject I really wouldnt mind if Playmates nabbed the license again. Remastered versions of the Kenner T2 figures could be fun, especially if they scaled with TMNT and MOTU. God knows Paramount isnt paying any mind to the movie's 35th anniversary, so maybe Playmates can jump on that saddle in time for the 40th anniversary.
