Robocop 3.0 2014 Action Figure

Presenting a Robocop 3.0 Action Figure figure based upon the 2014 movie from Jada Toys.

A lot of people did not like the reboot. That's sad. We at the Dungeon loved the movie.

Yes it wasn't as violent - making it a more watered down version of the original, but we felt that it had a better, more realistic story: We enjoyed the preview of the future of medical technology and the realization that such developments are not that far away from becoming a reality; we enjoyed the twist where it was Murphy's humanity that ovethrew his programming - unlike what happened in the original movie, and; We liked how he was able to move faster (i.e. he can actually run) than his former counterpart.

True though, we have to admit that it looks like Robocop's director Jose Padilha has a severe case of Bat-envy. Making him all black does not make him any less or more "tactical" and we sincerely doubt that hardened criminals would be intimidated by his color.



Robocop 3.0's blister pack reads: "The year is 2028 and the city of Detroit is fighting a massive crime wave. Alex Murphy is a good cop trying to stop it. When he is critically injured, OmniCorp uses their amazing robot technology to save his life and to transform Alex into ROBOCOP, part-man, part-robot, all cop. 


OmniCorp thinks they own Alex and his amazing new robotic abilities. But they forgot one thing: there is still a man inside the machine."



The figure stands 3.75" making him compatible with your standard GI Joe and Marvel Universe figures. Robocop 3.0 comes armed with his signature NI-408 (Neuromuscular Incapacitator - which, according to Robocop thanks to a discharge of 50,000 volts to its victims "can cause respiratory failure, organ malfunction, internal burns, and loss of bowel and bladder control") and a modified M2 Battle Rifle. We say modified because Robocop 3.0's M2 Battle Rifle - a 30 round clip, 50 caliber Beowulf ammunition fed heavy duty submachine gun capable of 3 shot bursts or full automatic fire - in the movie did not include an arm-brace (Strange that Robocop never runs out of ammunition if he only has a 30 round clip).

What's to like about the Robocop 3.0 2014 Action Figure?

We think that the best thing about the Jada Toys Robocop 3.0 is his size. He's compatible with most GI Joe toys and Marvel Universe figures allowing you to create all sorts of "Cross-overs" so to speak.

We love the armor detailing. It's quite movie accurate. Personally we're still hunting for the traditional silver and black figure as the all black look tends to be... one dimensional, boring. But that's a personal point of view and some people actually might like the Batman look.

Articulation sadly could have been improved - though we're quite happy that this figure is not limited to simply being able to raise and lower his arms and legs.

Sadly that's about it.

What's NOT to like about the Robocop 3.0 2014 Action Figure?

While we love the detailing that went into the creation of his body, his fine detailing leaves much to be desired.

On top of our problems with the Robocop 3.0 2014 Action Figure is the closed left hand that proved to make the interchanging of weapons a bit difficult for Robocop. We had to stretch the hand a bit open to insert it.

Another problem would be the red-eye slit. When you look up close you can see how whoever painted the red-slit had some difficulty staying within the line.

Would have been really cool if he came with an interchangeable head.

And finally, the teasing promise of articulation. We love his elbows, we love his legs, but glaringly he lacks the ability to move at the waist, upper torso, ankles, wrist. Robocop does not have double jointed knees so he can't kneel.

He still looks great though

The Jada Toys Robocop 3.0 2014 Action figure was purchased from Jae's Collectibles in Megamall for PhP 795 (Roughly US$ 17.66). Sadly he can be purchased on Amazon for US$ 4.95 (Roughly PhP 222 plus shipping). Ripped off again.
