Huge FAIL by NECA? Robocop 2022 - Unbox & Review 

Yeah, seems to be the case. Just a likeness to Peter. Lame

Oh wow, thats even worse!

Right!? That stupid left hand 🫲

I really wanted to see an open right hand for when you want him to NOT hold a gun. Seriously, their 12 inch version of their Robocop came with that option, why have they never released a 7 inch figure with a neutral open right hand? XD

Yeah, most of the movement I’m ok with, but the wrist not working on a hinge like most of the other figures out there and the shoulders need like 10% more

Yeah, I had to watch other reviews and still struggled. Haha!

That's the issiue I had I looked at instructions and it still wouldn't go in when I finally got it to fit It wouldn't close and the leg bit flew apart ..I got it back together but it closed ok when the gun wasn't in ..now it's in the box on display as the figure is VERY FRAGILE I'm scared of something breaking and best bit is I'm not even heavy handed ...the looks and detail are great everything else is poor

Haha, yeah I suppose fingers crossed for sponsors, but I really hate videos that have ads built in like that.

Oh, and yes, you can get the gun in the leg holster, it's just a pain in the ass to get in and back out again.

Even after watching another video I couldn’t get that in the holster. Haha! Good points about articulation. I would have been happy with just a bit more arm range though.

@@NostalgiaUnboxed Once you know the trick...it still sucks. Better to have a spare gun and leave it in there, lol. More arm range for sure but ankle rockers as well, just so he can stay flat footed with a wider leg stance.

@@straker454 totally agreed!

​@@straker454 But this one isn't the battle damaged version. It's like a _'Murphy sitting in their docking port battery charging chair talking'_ version. But they did make a full-on battle damaged version, I'm pretty sure. I'd just avoid all of these and go with the Mafex ones. Yeah, definitely more money, but _so_ worth it if you're a RoboCop fan.

I agree!

Awesome! I love the chair setup

So yours is more accurate even though it’s older. Haha. Ridiculous!

Yeah, I don’t have experience with the older ones, but it does look to just be an update using the likeness of Peter. It’s a bummer, but it looks great!

It may seem like a nice sculpt, but when you compare it to the Mafex ones, it's night and day. Mafex looks like a legit shrunken down Peter Weller in the suit, the NECA one looks like someone sculpted it (albeit well) with Silly Putty. And yeah, disappointing they didn't do a complete overhaul. They should've at least sculpted a new helmeted head.

​@@Chalor.Mafex Robocop is the far better superior figure to the Neca version

He’s still pretty great. It’s funny in the movie they had to remove the lower half of the suit so he could fit in the car

Wow! It sounds substantially better!! How was the very first review video I ever did on the channel?? Haha. Such an old one!

@@NostalgiaUnboxed _Ohhhh,_ I totally didn't even notice that was your first video lol. Hm, so as far as critiquing it, I'd say I would've (as I pretty much already mentioned) never knew you were brand new to figure review makin' videos. With the social awkwardness and having to tweek around with that unless you want literally everyone thinking you're a super weirdo (in a bad way), the acting experience, and so forth made you a natural at video making. The old ones are kinda like you're a little stoned, and the newer ones are like you're on a little coke...with post-production special effects that take forever to do. Both styles have that "you-ness" about them [Like why wouldn't they cause they're both me 🤨]. I do like that black pliable material stuff you have in the background when you start gettin' handsy with the figures.

@@Chalor. hahaha 🤣

The battle damaged one looks so good!!

Well thank you very much!

@@melody8826-p2c sorry you don’t like honest reviews

Yeah, the looks are sweet!

I think that leg piece will break for some people. It was awkward and delicate. I think the movie gun reflected light due to the metal, but we just don’t get anything here. It’s a bit sad

Maybe wait for the battle damaged one. The price isn’t bad at all and a lot of people really love it, but it might as well be a statue in my opinion.

I watched another review and that one had a piece of paper with instructions. I don’t have that, but I may revisit to see if I can copy what is done in that review. Doesn’t make sense! Haha

Agreed! Nothing “ultimate” about it. A couple extra hands or wrist articulation

Just between us, I prefer the Hiya Toys line. They're much smaller, but they're way better articulated, and the accessories are great.

@@hunterlangley8287 I will check it out! Thank you

I think so!

I don’t know what happened to my reply. Weird. Yeah, the holster is really sensitive and I’m sure it will break for some. NECA has really amped up their quality from what I have seen as a new collector. Anything that isn’t a rerelease is kind of wild with accuracy to the film versions. I’m hoping a new Aliens set comes because I would love a Ripley and Newt set.

I would pay good money for a custom suit like that

@@NostalgiaUnboxed when I was little I used too have a very old Robocop action figure

@@calebvaldez676 me too!

Yeah, I think the mafex option is ideal at this point. The villain from the sequel would be crazy, too

And those were such fun games. Robocop vs terminator is the movie we all want!

That’s a great solution, because he looks best in the helmet anyway!

Good idea!

I couldn’t find a terminator, but you have the right idea!! That’s a move I would love

Oh thank you so much! I hope you love it!!

lol

I don’t think this figure is worth it based on your scenario.

He really does look wonderful!

If the figure is the same it will be a little disappointing. I’m sorry :(

@@NostalgiaUnboxed if anything, I should be thanking you for the honest review. As a matter of fact: Thank you for the honest review. If I don't cancel, at least now I know exactly what I'm getting.

@@timothylewis2527 well, that’s very much appreciated! Time to keep an eye on Mafex I guess

Just with the updated likeness, right? I still have loads to learn in this world of collecting! Haha

Exactly! Nothing Ultimate about this ten year old mold. Theirs no reason, for me at least, to get this figure if I already have the Original Part 1 Robocop and the one with the Jet Pack.

@@NostalgiaUnboxed the only thing new that NECA brings to the table in this release is the Peter Weller head and the muzzle effect.

@@cejaprime and those aren’t enough!!

Oh nooooo. I’m so sorry. Such a long wait to just deal with that.

@@NostalgiaUnboxed Your review was so spot on. For an ultimate figure it is just not that great. But the look is awesome. He is just standing there on my shelf and I love it. But I really don't like the paint work of Neca especially when it come's to the skin tone. It peels off. The murphy/peter weller head arrived with a bit of faded skin color. And defenders of the earth phantom going through the same issues.

@@JoeJoe-xn3zv woah, that’s crazy. I haven’t had issues like this yet. I wonder how common it is then. That sucks

@@NostalgiaUnboxed I remember this one review I watched for Phantom. That guy had similar issues. Don't remember the reviewer. But yeah it's been a frequent issue with Neca which rarely gets mentioned. Skin color peels off. My Phantom's already losing it at the nose region and the knuckles. So I display him in the box and never take him out. Freaks me out but it is what it is...

@@JoeJoe-xn3zv that’s some real crap paint then. I wonder why humans only and what changed over things like TMNT and Aliens

The chair set is nice

Yeah, they do great work!

I only go digital streaming and use my Friend’s Plex. I don’t collect physical media anymore

In all fairness, my first ever review wouldn’t be worthy of having one lol

Yeah, I think that’s a huge part of it!

All the scenes with the doctor, too. But yeah, I would never display it with the unmasked helmet, but a good battle damaged one with half his face showing would be epic. These rereleases just don’t generally seem to be worth it. Even the Alien Ripley (jumpsuit) has issues. They literally forgot to color in her chest patch on the new one but got it on the old one. I would prefer a full redesign for figures to get the updated quality of joints and such.

@@NostalgiaUnboxed oh yea, totally. NECA’s TMNT toon line is fantastic. Their Usagi Yojimbo easily made my top ten of the year. But yea, if you want a definitive RC figure I’d check out those I mentioned.

@@TheToyOdyssey thanks for sharing that! I still love the TMNT movie line as well. Can’t wait for Secret of the ooze

Haha. Worth waiting for a better one. ED-209 may need to make friends with Terminator in the meantime lol

@@NostalgiaUnboxed ED-209 has it's flaws too. Little pissed about those flaps on the sides of his legs that pop out in the movie before he stands and walks, I tried gently to see if it hinged out and almost broke it off the little tab it's attached with. Also, the sound effects left out my favorite line. lol

@@lonedragon3261 I don’t have any experience with that figure, but I have admired it from afar. Haha. Sorry it’s not great

I saw another review achieve this, but I couldn’t get it to happen. Haha

@@NostalgiaUnboxed granted, it did take me a few attempts to successfully holster it

definitely!

I’m glad you love it!

this is the first figure review I ever did haha!

@@NostalgiaUnboxed You did a good job. Iwould have bought it based off your review anyway. Got mine yesterday, but I have to send it back. frigging forearms were so tight that when i tried turning them, I ended up breaking one of the pistons on his feet. Also got Predator on the same day. one of his big toes popped off so I'm sending that back for exchange too. these models are highly detailed, but seem a bit fragile.

@@amitypredator9385 gotta heat these bad boys up with some water or hairdryer, unfortunately

I saw some people manage to get it in (apparently there are instructions but I didn’t have them). It’s best in his hand anyway considering he has, essentially, one pose. Lol

The instructions are useless it shows you how to get the gun in then you copy it and it still doesn't go in or if you get it in the leg is VERY FRAGILE to close

not a lot but the arms are not going as far as they should. As for rating, I used to do this to scale figures, not to dunk on them

@@NostalgiaUnboxed cool 👍🏽 understood

Happy birthday!

Thank you!

true, but you pay for it with Mafex haha

There’s not much going for him, unfortunately. Great for photos

Oh man! Clarence would be awesome

@@NostalgiaUnboxed yeah...press his belly and says movie quotes... just gimme my f. Phone call....can you fly Bobby? I don't like cops and cops don't like me.

@@robertonline6543 and, of course, “dumbass!” (That 70s show)

@@NostalgiaUnboxed lol

Agreed. No idea what makes this “ultimate” worthy when you compare it to everything else with the title

Certainly not cheap. I don’t think it’s so bad, but not at all an “ultimate” level figure. Pretty disappointing regardless though

@@NostalgiaUnboxed thanks for your reply and great review... yeah it's abit bad considering its ultimate..I was going too get this but I think il spend my money on one of the knew neca preds the detail on those have improved and they were pretty good before

@@Andrew-el8xi always a solid choice! I’m still waiting for Back to the Future 3 or a series 3 run of Bladerunner

@@NostalgiaUnboxed I'm looking forward too those coming !! Thanks

@@Andrew-el8xi no idea if they are, but I want them to. Haha. Back the future makes financial sense for NECA, but Blade Runner probably doesn’t. I just want an Ana de Armas. Lol

I hear good things! Thanks for watching this ancient video of mine though! My very first review!

well your first review was on point although you were a bit forgiving on the details rating@@NostalgiaUnboxed

@@ConradProteus I had nothing to compare it to 😂 aside from some TMNT figures

Mafex does some great work

I hear good things!

@@NostalgiaUnboxed good video man

@@manoloramirez6456 thank you. This is the first review I ever did haha

I won’t

@@NostalgiaUnboxed Good luck with your channel man.. You'll need it. oO

@@GrayDark617 hahaha. Read the room, dude.

Awesome!

I thought the same until I actually got one there's a few issiues with it
