I wonder why Max Factory/Figma is doing their version of Robocop? Apart from the Kamen Riders figures which are based on the US version and Michael Jackson, all other Figma are based on Japanese anime characters.Quote:

Probably not for lack of trying.
My thoughts were that after seeing the revoltech sci fi being fairly successfule, they wanted to givethe idea a go themselves.
I have never watched the Robocop cartoon, but I personally found it odd that Robocop is being marketed to kids, especially considering how Robocop 1 & 2 were classified as R rated movies and the third was rated M (and somewhat forgettable).Quote:

I was trying to forget that......still traumatized. I thought it was 1orion2many when I first seen them :D:D:DQuote:

I dont get the pumpkin head variant of it though.....:confused: but then the first version is quite "insert your word here" as it is... so he can really appropriately sing "Big in Japan" I guess. You never know what makes it big in Japan isnt it... hmmm

Oh, and to the list of Figma non-cartoon oddities you can add the two + variant baseball mascotts, Doala (Home and Away versions) and Tolucky. There are also the Adam and Eve Archetype clear Figmas.
