In 1989 when these figures were released, I was in 1st grade. I loved the built-in cap firing backpack. RoboCop comes with two important accessories. His helmet which features nice sculpting and a little paint work looks great. His helmet fits tightly and doesn't fall off while playing with him. RoboCop also comes with an insanely cool gun. His action figure weapon is not movie accurate.
Like all the figures in the line, RoboCop has a hole in his leg where his gun can be "holstered" via a peg on the side of the weapon. His backpack can flip down to allow you to feed a roll of caps though his back. RoboCop came with two rolls of blue caps what could be fired in rapid succession through his backpack. This makes a lot of noise and smoke.
The head sculpt on this figure without his helmet does a nice job of capturing Peter Weller's likeness. You can see my figure has a little battle damage that he picked up over the years beating up on my other action figures. His armor is slightly scuffed.
Just a solid and well done figure for it's time.
ReplyDeleteThe cap gun gimmick was prevalent in those times.Loved this line now as much as i did then.The blue chrome plastic used on the vehicles reminded me alot of the Silverhawks line.Weren't they made by the same toy company?
ReplyDelete1st grade?!?!?! How old are you? It was 1989 right? I was 17.
ReplyDeleteI'm 31. That's why so many of the things I post like TMNT and Power Rangers are from after your time. Remember I never got a single vintage Star Wars figure in the package. I bought all mine 2nd hand at yard sales and comic stores..
ReplyDeleteI loved these action figures when I was younger. I just recently bought a Robocop to put in my collection. I can not wait to pop caps in his back just like old times!
