Video Review of the NECA Robocop: ED-209

[@JD-sw2qk]

The only thing that can defeat ED209.... stairs. Lol

[@Emperor_mtn_Dew]

He's a dalek

[@Wintis_Swizzle]

I’ve been waiting 30 years for this. It arrived today and I’m in geek heaven. It is just sooooo good. Thanks for the review or else I wouldn’t have known this was a thing. It is glorious ⭐️

[@fc231]

This figure is beautiful! Can't wait to get mine. Did you know that in Robocop 2, in one of the scripts, there were supposed to be two Ed-209's battling Robo-Cain towards the end of the film. Too bad they scrapped that idea. Awesome review!

[@rojman123]

Does it squeal like a pig when you knock it down some stairs? :-)

[@ljk20001]

i thought it sounded more like a baby

[@jettank1236]

Ssouned more like a clanging rotor in space engineers.

[@Kev-A]

Just found out about this guy, and was still able to snag one! Always wanted an ED-209 but they were bad quality or overpriced. This one seems to be perfect.

[@lHurtYourFeeIings]

Everyone should get at least one of these. NECA really listened to the fans. The profit margin is so low on this they pretty much did it for the fans demand. Buy enough of this maybe they will make Cain.

[@bdougwrx]

Had my 209 on pre-order for months. Cain would be awesome!

[@TOYMASTERFUL]

I CANT BELIVE ROBOCOP CAME OUT OVER 25YRS AGO...MAN THOSE WERE THE DAYS GROWING UP IN GRADE SCHOOL!

[@IamMegatron]

I hope NECA makes cyborg Cain from Robocop 2

[@dracula1980]

IamMegatron too top heavy and complicated. We can only wish.

[@RoarinRando]

Awesome review, Optibotimus!!! I've been waiting for an ED-209 figure like this for years and I am thrilled that we are finally getting one! Just one question: Is ED fully assembled in the box, or does he need to be put together? Thanks, man!

[@KaptinFathead]

I'D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR!!! But seriously, the ED-209 here looks amazing.

[@gruntpocalypsenow]

I'd buy that for a dollar! But not for 75...

[@sk-st7zl]

You don’t have money in pocket🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

[@TheStriderSyd]

I wish they had added an additional 6th voice clip...... of the ED209 screaming in the stairwell.

[@Infinite85563]

I with they included a stair well

[@TheEpeEntertainment]

I just got mine today. Ordered it from United States, with Robocop, all the way to Scandinavia. The shipping and extra tull charges made it a bit more costly, that I would have wanted it to be. But it was worth every cent, none the less. Can't stop looking at it. Now I have to wait my Robocop figure to arrive. ;)

[@bunnyfreakz]

One of the best of NECA, they should keep this quality and monetize 7 inch like Hot Toys monetize 12 inch

[@devastated_studios]

Got this figure as soon as I saw it. It's one of my absolute favorites, WAAAAY better than spending over $400 for the Hot Toys disappointment.

[@THEGREYGH0ST]

i pre-ordered this thru bbts when it was announced months ago & when i saw this vid i was like wtf did you get your hands on one!? keeps getting pushed back. glad to see that it's going 2 B worth the wait. Also i should mention that i read thru neca site that there only going to be 1 production run so if you can't afford the hot toys version then this is your best bet.

[@Kytori95]

Because of my crappy internet connection i was watching it n 144P for a few seconds and I thought the figure looked crap lol, then it bumped up to 440 and I was blown away too lol, incredible detail!

[@nathanbaertsch131]

I think it's a great review Optibotimus! I don't know if you've found it yet, maybe you have… The legs do have more articulation! They turn/swivel at the "back knee" joint. This helps him get a more natural looking "walking" gesture by swinging the leg out to the side a little bit. They're tight joints, at least on mine, so take care working them to move, but you'll see that it is indeed another joint on the leg! Go NECA! :)

[@carnut015]

Thanks for the look. I have been waiting for this guy to come out!!!!! Also, I want to go re-watch Robocop RIGHT NOW!!!

[@MJG821]

Its funny I seen this toy in FYE video store yesterday and I bought him...I didn't even know they were selling this toy, but when I seen him I was so damn happy because I've been wanting this toy ever since I was a kid...The original Robocop will Always be the Best!!

[@slowgynn]

Got mine preordered,glad I did too cuz it's limited to ONLY one production run-that means that once it's gone they won't make anymore!!

[@lHurtYourFeeIings]

I say the hand gestures stays. I can't see him in the video, so if we only see the stationary figure in the video might as well just talk over a picture? Other reviewers picks up the camera and shakes it around till you puke. He doesn't do that. The hands speaks for him. Do it.

[@RoboBeastWarrior]

"I think you'd better do what he says, Mr. Botimus." I wish it had the squealing noise he makes when he falls down the stairs and the lion-growl he sometimes made, but damn it looks fantastic.

[@ArcanePath360]

I love ED. He's awesome. He's full of weak points but just has that special fearsome attitude.

[@MrMomobot]

I have now lost track of how many times I've watched this. lets see.. I've watched this ever since it came out. almost every day! several times a day.. so I have NO idea how many times.. all I can say is that.. most likely HALF your views are probably from ME. XD anyone else watching it over and over? comment so that I know I'm not the only crazy person here.

[@trenchdigger59xzy]

Gotta admit Neca makes some good figures and tend to hold and go up in value.

[@azathoz]

I have it too and I love it. It's a terrific model, and a must have for any Robocop fan.

[@zombiestomp1bc]

Awesome review sir. The enthusiasm in your voice made me smile! Will this be available in stores?

[@DarthZiddy]

Looks awesome. I just got my first Robocop Neca (spring-loaded holster) and love it. You are so right though; he's not complete till I get my Ed-209. Great video as usual.

[@SAGAtoday]

so lucky you get these from NECA

[@impossiblepie]

I got mine, I really like it, it looks nice, but two of the wire were broken because of those twist ties, but one can be glued back on, the other not sure yet, (it's the black wire going to the guy on the right arm,) I got mine through diamond direct at my LCS and paid $79.99, which is over priced for what it does, I do recommend getting it if you can find it for alot cheaper. it's great for displaying but the playability is very limited, but more articulation means more cost.

[@omotodraco]

you know what would be really cool? an ED-209 room alarm, if somebody enters your room, it would power up, and point it's guns at the intruder and make sounds from the original movie

[@DaminousPurityofficial]

gotta love Neca

[@BSGNUT]

Your reviews are FANTASTIC! You are a real help in decision making! Thank you!

[@Happy_SithLord]

Woooo microphone with guns are awesome!!!

[@JD-Media]

here's a question for you? If the toy company who have the rights to the Remake film make a toy of the Remake Ed 209, Will you pick it up and do you think it will hold anything to Neca's original 209

[@codylindquist4306]

Well time to watch robot cop and I really hope that the new 2014 remake does both ED-209 justice.

[@buriedegg8636]

Thanks Paul! This is great review! I have one that covers some of the insane "HIDDEN" articulation of the rockets and legs! Hope this is helpful: HD Review of "ED-209" from "Robocop" Movie by NECA Toys (Extra Hidden Rocket Launcher Articulation!)

[@xbaxdark]

The only thing I don't like about this model compared to either the movie or the hot toys version is the metal color is metallic blue and has no 'dirt' or 'oil marks' around the rivets. Star Wars films all had the same kind of metal look with dirt collection around rivets and blast marks etc. This is what makes the metal look authentic and I feel Neca has missed the mark on this, however the wiring detail around the feet is missing in the hot toys version so the neca wins in that regard.

[@brukaoru]

So cool, I want one! Someone should make a remote/app controlled ED-209 toy that can move and makes sounds as he moves... That'd be awesome.

[@SpecOpsDad]

Awesome review. Just ordered mine from big bad toy store. Can't wait!!! :)

[@nyfunny07]

OPTBOTIMUS!! Great review! Don't know if this was mentioned but the missile attachment that flips out, you can slide it up!!

[@ivazquez71]

We need a Kane RoboCop version now!!

[@uploadfreedom]

I'm a bit upset that you can see the mold lines of the two half parts all over the place. I have the hottoys one and the only thing NECA has over it is the sliding rails on the legs. The locking flaps don't move but should, I wish they would do a little better job on it. To date I have never seen one with toes move. I'm going to mod mine when my order comes won't be easy but I want that feature finally! Again I want to say the hot toys is miles better than anything else, but the price does show that. Oh and the ankle joint does move on the hot toys one which was a really nice touch. That for the review.

[@CattyMintgum]

man, if this looks so nice, I cant wait to see your review on the hot toys version!

[@torquetheprisoner]

thated 209 looks awesome and im looking foreword to the Robocop remake the first seen the original Robocop I was 5 years old and I don't think there hasn't been a year I haven't watched it.

[@meridiantelekoms]

Hope NECA make Robocain figure...

[@optibotimus]

+Erwin Villanueva I highly doubt it...they've said time and time again they aren't interested in doing it.

[@meridiantelekoms]

+optibotimus That's too bad. Well at least we has an ED-209. Thanks NECA! 😀

[@FerrariDMC]

+Erwin Villanueva That would be a difficult figure to make but I am with ya.. I wish it could be made as well.

[@TaliaIGhul]

That fig's a work of art. :)

[@digitalproselyte]

I ordered this from Monsters In Motion in CA. I'm dying waiting for this thing!

[@jrimme]

That looks so badass. Luv Robocop.

[@camraid9]

Just ordered mine =) I missed out on the big hot toys that came out years ago, not a chance I was missing this one! My profile pic is always ED btw ;)

[@HowIsYourKungFu]

Solid review bro! NECA has nailed it once again!!

[@TheAxeGrinder]

Another nitpick: The left arm isn't swappable with a blown-up version!

[@MrMomobot]

And now I'm watching this for the 20th time. AWESOME REVIEW! :D CANT WAIT TO GET HIM!

[@RayneGallows]

I've preordered two of these, I can't wait.

[@DLamp]

I got this fellow one month ago and it is frickin' awesome, man! And indeed: the Neca Robocop figure, got him as well, is perfectly accurate in size with the ED 209! I am doubting to get the Hot Toys ED 209, because it is expensive and not that accurate as you pointed out in your review, but hey the Hot Toys looks better despite his inaccuracy! Should I get it?

[@marcarsenal1]

Looks very nice but I've got the hot toys 1/6 per ordered so I'm waiting for that one. But this one looks great for the price

[@OptimusBarrettPrime]

love the new intros

[@rondarwooton9701]

Yeah your opinion is yours but still no one can even consider, that this figure is bad. Any way an amazing review can't wait to get him in person. Thanks!

[@alfiethompson91]

You can pull the missile pod further. Look at Seanlongs review

[@optibotimus]

I don't need to look at his video...i already knew that. I discovered it after doing the video but i clearly can't go in and change it here.

[@quigon87yt]

Okay!!! You talk me into it. LOL I just pre-ordered it from Hot Toys. Thanks for a great review as always!

[@optibotimus]

...This isn't Hot Toys

[@quigon87yt]

***** Sorry I was thinking BBTS but I typed in HT. You know you're thinking of one thing and typing in something totally different... Or is it just me? Just chalk it up to getting old I guess. LOL Yes I did pre-order it from BBTS though.

[@trumpisacrybabydictatornar914]

It’s cool but if your a real big fan of ED209 then get the hot toys ed209 for $300 it’s just crazy 😜 cool & super worth it

[@xinnocentmiscreantx]

Awesome figure! Nice and honest review. I already have got this ED209 badass!

[@danielsingleton3576]

BEWARE THE BODY SNAPS OFF FROM THE WAIST. Mine came shipped in two pieces. I took a good look at where it broke and there is nothing holding the body on the waist. It's just glued on a round piece of plastic so you can turn the body left and right. It looks HORRIBLY FRAGILE. Do not pick it up by the top half like the dude in the video does and do not try and turn the body for posing. I hope I just got a dud but looking at how it's put together I'm thinking in a few months there will be about 70% of these awesome looking ED209's in two pieces or glued in a fixed pose. I got mine from ToyWiz and I'm am seeing what they are going to do about mine. I didn't pay 70 bucks for something I have to glue together no matter how badass it looks.

[@soundwave8466]

Saniel Dingleton neca toys are cool looking but become a letdown due to their horrifying QC

[@aicdragon29]

I dont suppose you know if NECA is going to produce a Robocop 2 figure?... while the movie isnt as nearly good as the original(though I do still enjoy it), that robot design was fantastic imo and Im sure Im not alone when I say I would love to add that to my collection. The only one I know of is the tiny Japanese 3" figure that costs way too much.

[@BSGNUT]

Optibotimus, how were you able to get one of these early? On the BBTS website it says the pre-order is for a release in January. Do you have any inside scoop on the exact date in January from Neca? Thanks!

[@628fusebox]

this is out in HK today:) def picking up two of these

[@TheCastellan]

The figma Robocop is another good robocop figure. I'd love to see Figma make ED.

[@311mikey]

They have this online!! I’m gonna get one while it’s still available

[@jasonj87]

I want to do figurine photography of him and RoboCop someday!

[@RiFFxxx]

That looks sooo awesome, nice one Paul.

[@cabaigne6154]

Je l'avais en jouet quand j'étais petit. J'adore ce robot.

[@rondarwooton9701]

looks super nice! Might sound weird but I can't wait to get the 2014 play arts Kai robocop figure and put him next to him. Awesome review!

[@optibotimus]

The NECA Robo is far better looking if you ask me and a fraction of the cost. But that's just my humble opinion.

[@Harri927]

***** Can you review the Neca 1/4 1989 Batman figure?

[@xXTheGoldenBoy17Xx]

awesome figure neca really did a good job am deff going to pick this bad boy up

[@xXSnowXx730]

I can't wait to see someone do the stair scene with ED-209

[@InsidetheBoothTV]

I found a ED 209 at the thrift store, but it is only the top of him, it didn't come with the legs. do you know anyone who might have the legs on a 3d print file? I would like to fix the toy.

[@mexikollektor]

We´ll sure miss Mr. Kenney!, great video, would you say this is a decent substitute for the hot toys version?, I´m running on a tight budget here!

[@optibotimus]

This is an outstanding figure and well worth picking up. For the price, you can't do much better. The Hot Toys one, while superior, SHOULD BE considering how much it is lol

[@filmgaz1983]

I pre ordered it on forbidden planet ages ago. It was about if they did a battle damage one.

[@mikelnator]

Great review! A shame that it ain't gonna be at retail!

[@backerman10]

nice but I can't wait to get the hot toys version of robocop and ed-209.

[@optibotimus]

I'll be getting those too...but for the money, these are terrific figures

[@aetchjae-el9505]

This DOES sound better than the Hot Toys voice recording!! Hot Toys' version sounded does sound like somebody redoing it & doesn't sound robotic enough...

[@Magikknight76]

Great review Paul also one of my favorite properties. On a side note do you still have a p.o. Box I'd like to send you something. I found a Black Widow from TF Prime and seeing as I already have one and you never reviewed her I'd love to give her to you for review and then you can add her to your collection.

[@Cazull1984]

Are you getting the HotToys version? I'd love to see a review by you. I have mine pre-ordered through Sideshow. Also, if you have any influence in the industry, could you put a word in for Cain from RoboCop 2? I've been emailing NECA and HotToys about him for the longest. Both him and ED are my quintessential must haves.

[@optibotimus]

Very probable

[@EUSL84]

Fuck i waas blown away by the robocop with the holster now this... NERDGASM! jaja

[@BenaresMusic]

Preordered, thanks for this review! And.. I'm not looking for the remake too!

[@MegaFreedom911]

Love your reviews keep them coming

[@NeoMoonSevin]

Awesome toy it's a perfect model

[@kdash20002]

Great review! also is there a much larger sized figure of the ED-209 or is that as big as he gets? just curious

[@seanc303]

There will be a bigger one coming soon from a different company. They both look very cool for their price points.

[@Pharaoh025]

4:01 - Dat close-up! Never scare me like that again for F***'s sake! And I'm not even holding a gun!

[@BenTanner92]

Hey optimbotimus are you in the future thinking about purchasing the sideshow collectible sixth scale figure of robocop and review it?

[@Infinite85563]

so does ED-209 still have problems with stairs?

[@THEWATCHERISLOOKING]

They should have made it with motion sensors to make the sounds come out as you pass by.

[@dougformers]

Make a video of your collection !

[@ldl0021]

They need to do robocop from robocop 2 & robocain

[@bb072010]

Even though your not looking forward to the remake just watch it because you don't know what you might miss

[@jacktorrance9891]

Is the dome made of plastic or rubber that could brake like in the hot toys one???

[@TheUntoldSmile]

BOUGHT!....eventually.

[@MrJakesterfication]

I can't wait to see your reviews of the new transformers 4 movie toys! lol

[@unicron24]

do u know when the new ED comes out????

[@Rewtoys]

It really looks fabulous =)
