MAFEX Robocop 2 Figure – Toyark Photo Shoot

Posted on May 6, 2019 at 2:45 pm by Joe Moore under Random Photo Shoot, Robocop Toy News

After the police force goes on strike, Alex Murphy and his partner Anne Lewis are the lone officers remaining on duty to protect Old Detroit. A new drug known as Nuke begins circulating the city, with a psychopath known as Cain acting as the mastermind behind the drug’s production. With the perceived success of the Robocop program, OCP begins development on a new, more powerful Robocop. However, each test malfunctions with some of the subjects choosing suicide over being a cyborg. A rogue OCP scientist enacts her own Robocop development, using the brain of the drug kingpin Cain as the basis for the monstrous new cyborg.

Within a year of announcing their MAFEX Robocop figure, Medicom had revealed plans to release version based on Robocop 2 and Robocop 3. All three has been announced just in time for the initial release of their first Robocop figure. This gave fans of the character the chance to pick and chose which figure or figures they’d want as part of their collection. Each release has a some significant differences to make them unique. The MAFEX Robocop 2 Figure is now available, with the part 3 version set to hit this Summer.

For the Robocop 2 release, Medicom switched out a few of the hands, removing the needle spike fist, and adding two new gripping hands.The color of the armor was adjusted to have a bluer tint, and a few new accessories were added. We grabbed the figure from sponsor Entertainment Earth. After the jump, check out my photos and thoughts on the figure.

MAFEX Robocop 2 Figure by Medicom

Pros

  • Outstanding sculpt
  • Excellent paint work
  • Great articulation
  • Plenty of interchangeable parts
  • Easy to swap out parts
  • Solid new accessories

Cons

  • Lower jaw pieces the same as the 1st Robocop
  • Armor could use just a bit more blue

Overall
The Robocop 2 figure is packaged in a collector friendly window box. The packaging design is very reminiscent of the Robocop 1 figure (see review and gallery HERE) they released, with updated photos and artwork to reflect the second film. The figure and accessories sit in a plastic clamshell tray. The figure includes three interchangeable lower jaws, a standard and a battle damaged visor, a standard and a battle damaged chest plate, eight interchangeable hands, an Auto-9 pistol with a flash effect piece, swap out open holster leg pieces, a pack of Nuke, a ratchet, Can’s brain, and a figure stand.

For the most part, the main Robocop figure here is the same as the previous MAFEX release. Nothing major has changed in the sculpt, outside of the new battle damaged pieces. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, as the original figure had a stunning sculpt. As with the previous release, the detail work is fairly accurate to the film, with great texture work, nice use of different materials, and excellent articulation. The metallic armor pieces have a nice gloss to them, while the black armor pieces have a more rubberized look. The biggest difference here is the recolored armor, which has a much bluer tint to it. While the tint is more “sky” blue, there is additional blue and magenta colored airbrushing on the armor as well. It doesn’t look quite as blue as the film version, but it is noticeably different than the nearly all silver part 1 figure. Either way, it still looks excellent in person.

Not surprisingly, the Robocop 2 figure includes more accessories than the first figure. From Cain’s removed Brain, to the Nuke pack, to the ratchet, there’s some great additions. The new hands are welcome, as they can also be used on the original figure if desired. The new battle damaged pieces line up to how he looked in the second film. The visor has the new burn mark on the left side, and the chest plate has a rather large dent. The lower jaw pieces, however, are the same as the first release. It would have been nice to have at least one alternate expression here.

If you’re only picking up one of the MAFEX Robocop figures, then it’s a fairly even toss up between the Robocop 1 and Robocop 2 figures. I think for many it will come down to personal preference for the armor color (I personally prefer the silver of the first figure). If you are buying all three, then there’s at least enough variation here to not feel like a straight repeat of the first figure. Check out some select photos below, and the full gallery after that.

    Can we actually get a God Dang Robocain figure this century?

    The problem is he would be crazy expensive to produce. The number of parts on a 7” scale version would just drive that cost up too high. And there’s no potential for parts to be reused, so you can’t spread that cost out over multiple releases. I’d say the ReAction Robocop line is the best bet, since they can better get away with simplifying details. That or a company who can better get away with a high price.

    This looks nice, but after multiple Robocop purchases from NECA, the only way I'll ever buy another Robocop figure is if it comes with a fully unmasked helmet with Peter Weller's likeness. But that unfortunately may never happen since nobody can get his likeness rights.

    I seem to remember watching a video that compared articulation between the original silver NECA version and MAFEX, where MAFEX came out on top. Can anyone corroborate that?

    I'm not sure if there is a video, and I'm a bit too lazy to try and find one if there is...but being that I own both figures, I can tell you without a doubt that the Mafex one blows the Neca one clean out of the water where articulation is concerned. Only the Hot Toys version has better articulation, and that's debatable, as much of it is in the hands with the individually segmented fingers, where with the Mafex one, he could strike poses that Bruce Lee would approve of...

    Thank you for saying this. A lot of collectors (not necessarily Black Arbor) think companies just fart out prototypes. Three Robocops makes some sense considering the character is somewhat of a Sci-Fi icon (for lack of a better term). I can’t imagine any money being made on a premium RoboCain figure.
