Technically a WIP because a few bricks are in the wrong colours.
The figure is fully posable. This is a display for a convention - Istrakon 2014.
More pictures to follow.

The figure is sturdy and can be handled and played with without fear of pieces falling off. It's 29 studs tall so that makes it approximately 1:8 scale. Easily stand on one leg too.
Made in 2020, his helmet was made from a normal biker helmet that was cut down and sculpted with green stuff.

('Trouble' in this case meaning a triple burst of 9mm to the chest, just FYI).
I found my old NECA Robocop after I thought I'd lost or misplaced him for a couple of years. Now he's sitting right next to my monitor where I can keep an optical sensor on him.
I loved Peter Weller and Arnold Schwarzenegger's robotic performances in Robocop and the first Terminator. Quite unnerving and fascinating the way they rotated their bodies and swivelled their limbs, their physical performances were fantastic. These days robots in film are mostly done with motion capture and it doesn't feel the same to me, it's too fluid. There is a reasonable assumption that robots in the future will naturally move in much more fluid and anthropomorphic ways, that makes sense but I dunno, it loses its fascination. If something does a perfect job of behaving like a human then you respond as if it's human. If Skynet for instance could create a 100% convincing terminator unit then it's game over, the fight for survival comes from the cyborgs being somewhat or almost human.
It's that 'uncanny valley' that makes robots cool for me. Maybe I'm just old and rambling on about my youth... What do you reckon?
From the comic series, Robocop vs. Terminator. Back view.
Robocop based on the Original Movie and Terminator is based on the T-800 Model.
I figure until the good people of Detroit can convince the Mayor to put up the Robocop statue they deserve I can at least put together a poster depicting the cyborg officer.
I had fuggscreens print out a run of 40; only available on the new 2046 Shop:

Robocop is Anniedollz custom work in 2010.
She is my first try to do yarn braids.
I love her so much.

I collect broken chunks of concrete. There, I said it. And this one with a yellow stripe down it? *chef's kiss*
The Tesla Cybertruck is a car from th e future - the kind of future we imagined from the 1980s.
I guess, along with Bladerunner, Elon Musk probably saw Robocop or Judge Dread or any other number of dystopian films featuring Arnie or Stallone.
Dressed up as a Black & White, the Cybertruck looks, so confronting at the launch last week, soften and normalise.
Of course, the dystopian future, filled with Cybertrucks, was the one we wished wouldn't happen.
This won't be the last themed take on the Cybertruck that I do, but I really like this one.
Stay out of trouble!
