Cool Horror Gear: New Robocop figures from Sideshow Collectibles

Last Updated on July 22, 2021

On the heels of the latest ROBOCOP trailer comes news of fresh action figures based on the remake’s designs. These come from Square Enix and will be distributed by Sideshow Collectibles. They’ll drop in February 2014 in conjunction with the movie.

The first design is Robocop 1.0, the second is Robocop 3.0. They’re 9.45″ tall.

In RoboCop, the year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Overseas, their drones have been used by the military for years – and it’s meant billions for OmniCorp’s bottom line. Now OmniCorp wants to bring their controversial technology to the home front, and they see a golden opportunity to do it. When Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) – a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit – is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer. OmniCorp envisions a RoboCop in every city and even more billions for their shareholders, but they never counted on one thing: there is still a man inside the machine pursuing justice.
