Kotobukiya Robocop MK 2 Model Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)i LOVED robocop 2 strictly because of this figure. i literally paused my vhs a million times just to draw it. i searched everywhere for the toy as a kid (i only found the ed-209 to my dismay...the small ed, not the beautiful massive one that hot toys make/made) and i had no such luck. now i run into this figure and i ordered it right away.
now the only flaw this has is its very small...yea, i read the specs but wow. i was a bit sad when i got the ultra light box in the mail. but hey, its robocop 2, man...i dont have to blow the dust off my tape to draw it now :) awsome figure, not the less!

Dark Horse continues its exciting import program of the award-winning Kotobukiya figures. Our ongoing Kotobukiya Star Wars line consists of large, 8-11 inch figures. With the Robocop series, Kotobukiya gives us the same great quality and precise details in a smaller, more accesible collectible. We offer six different figures, consisting of 2-7 easy to assemble parts, ranging in size from 2 1/2 to 5 inches. What was at first considered merely a futuristic action film, Robocop quickly gained a cult following due to it foreboding message about the not-so-distant future. A world where a hard-working, honest cop is turned into an emotionless weapon. When Officer Alex Murphy's memories seep into Robocop's consciousness, a battle ofmorals and revenge commence. The Robocop series is fondly regarded by many, and, we believe, it's time it was honored with some cool figures!

Kotobukiya Robocop Edition 209 Model Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this one as a gift and I must say that the first thing I thought when I saw it was "This is soo TINY!" and not in a bad way but out of amazement. You could never guess how small this model is by just looking at the photos because it has such a high level of detail that you could easily think it is a life-size ED 209 you're seeing. It has just the right amount of articulation points. the cannon 'arms' swivel up and down, the head-body twists and both legs swing back and forth to pose it as you like. the 'shoulder wings' are also articulated but they do not swing enough as to improve any pose, I would've rather have those articulation points on the knees or at least on the middle toes but it is nothing to cry about. The thing you MUST take into consideration is that if you plan to also buy KOTOBUKIYA ROBOCOP MODEL KIT,they will not look good together since they are not both made at the same scale. Robocop will tower over ED 209 so bad luck for those of us who wanted to re-enact the movie scene. That's the main reason why I haven't bought yet that KOTOBUKIYA ROBOCOP MK 2 MODEL KIT but I know I will nevertheless 'cause those three are officialy Clasic Hollywood Robots and no movie fan should miss the chance to own them.

Transformers Movie Deluxe Decepticon Brawl Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Brawls seems fairly durable and does look menacing. However, the recommended ages from Hasbro and Amazon should not be taken seriously. Any kid under 7 or 8 will have a very difficult ranging into impossible time transforming Brawls, and since his ability to transform is a big part of his value, keep that in consideration. A Transformer savvy adult, with the instructions, can transform Brawls for the first time in say 10-15 minutes, and get down to 3-6 minutes depending on one's dexterity.With tons of practice and Chopin-like fingers you could probably do it in two, and impress the ladies. For kids, the initial times are much longer and really depend on age and development, and parents should expect to help out, especially with those first couple transformations.
In robot mode, Brawls can stand up without tipping over, though consistently getting him to stand takes a little practice. Previous experience with Transformers and other action figures is a big plus. The fact that his tank treads can act as secondary leg supports in robot mode allows a couple more poses/balancing schemes than there otherwise would be. As a tank he cuts a mean profile and its easy for the imaginative to forget he's a relatively little toy. Be very careful with the clip-on turret missile launchers, the clip-on front bocage cutters, and the long, red projectile he fires. These parts are super easy for kids and adults alike to lose, and are such nice touches that you certainly won't want to. Hasbro was on the ball when they designed Brawls to transform without removing these parts. Also, his gun fires the projectile a few feet and you really can hit things, to the delight of children and yourself.
A note on pricing and value. I bought Brawls at my local Toys R Us for $9.99. That's right- $9.99. While he makes a cool collectible I doubt whether he'll hold his value over that in the near future, especially since I'd imagine Hasbro is quite likely to put out another production run given the success of the movie. How much you want to spend is up to one's your individual judgment but keep in mind that people are super-stoked about Transformers right now, and psychological considerations are probably driving up his and every other Trasformer's prices considerably.
