Prototype images of ThreeZero 1/6 scale 2014 (Reboot) RoboCop V1 and V3 figures revealed

RoboCop is a 2014 American science fiction action film directed by José Padilha. It is a remake of the 1987 film of the same name and a reboot of the RoboCop film series, making it the fourth installment of the franchise. The film stars Joel Kinnaman in the title role.

When Alex Murphy - a loving husband, father and good cop gets 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 big profits for their shareholders, but there is still a noble man inside the machine pursuing justice.

From threezero:
Here is the promised photos of Robocop V1 model, which we will release this year. We are keen on making the figure with utmost care and attention to details and all the tiny nuances. Not every company shows early and WIP photos, but we are excited to show you guys, what we are working on.

The movie was okay for me. I liked the original better but it's always nice to see a fresh take on the subject. The more the merrier, right? Personally, I prefer version 1 as it looks closer to the original except that this time around, the suit's sleeker. Scroll down to see all the pictures including the all black Version 3 RoboCop.

These were the initial prototype pictures / images

Prepare to meet proud creation of OmniCorp: RoboCop V3! On active duty in every town, protecting citizens from crime and making each street and dark alley safe. Criminals run away or turn themselves in, when they hear the sirens!

Preview Very Cool x Coo Model 1/6 The Monkey King (Donnie Yen as Sun Wukong) 12-inch figure

Happy Chinese New Year!

It's supposed to be the Year of the Horse and not the Monkey but I guess the guys at Very Cool and Coo Model didn't get the memo ;p They have decided to collaborate and release a 1/6 scale Monkey King figure in the second quarter of 2014 and chose to preview the figure now to get pre-orders. Used to be figures were released when the movie was released to generate sales but nowadays figures are PREVIEWED instead when the film is released and pre-orders are then taken. You don't get the figure until maybe when the DVD is released some six months or so down the road. That's what happened with the Hot Toys Movie Masterpiece Series 1/6 scale Iron Man 3: Tony Stark the Mechanic 12-inch limited edition collectible action figure (reviewed HERE). The figure only came out after the Iron Man 3 DVD was released.

The Monkey King is a Hong Kong-Chinese film directed by Cheang Pou-soi and starring Donnie Yen as the titular protagonist, Sun Wukong, the Monkey King. Yen also serves as the film's action director. The film is based on selected chapters of Wu Cheng'en's classical novel Journey to the West and will tell the story of how the Monkey King rebels against the Jade Emperor of Heaven.

Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, created by writer Gerry Conway and artists John Romita, Sr. and Ross Andru, with publisher Stan Lee providing the name, made his first appearance in Marvel Comics' The Amazing Spider-Man #129. The Punisher is a vigilante who employs murder, kidnapping, extortion, coercion, threats of violence, and torture in his war on crime. Driven by the deaths of his wife and two children, who were killed by the mob during a shootout in New York City's Central Park, the Punisher wages a one-man war on the mob and all criminals in general, by using all manner of conventional war weaponry. His family's killers were the first to be slain. A war veteran of the U.S. military, he is a master of martial arts, stealth tactics, guerrilla warfare, and a wide variety of weapons.

Comparison pictures of VTS The Revenger 12-inch figure with Art Figures: SAVES "Punisher"

continued from earlier post...

When the Art-Figures: SAVES "Punisher: War Zone" 1/6 scale Figure was first released, the quality caught a lot of people by surprise and many were left scrambling to get their hands on the 12-inch Ray Stevenson as Frank Castle the Punisher figure. Unfortunately, because the figure was produced based on pre-order numbers and not many people gave a thought of pre-ordering it, the production number was small and supply was limited when it came out. Thus the secondary market price of the Art-Figures: SAVES "Punisher: War Zone" figure began to rise very quickly and it became a holy grail for many collectors.

Fast forward to the present and DAM Toys (under their other brand name VTS for Virtual ToyS) just released their version of the 1/6 scale Ray Stevenson as Frank Castle the Punisher figure from the 2008 "Punisher: War Zone" movie and BAM! they certainly knocked this one out of the ballpark. This recently released VTS The Revenger figure is way better than the previously released and highly sought after Art Figures SAVES Punisher figure but hey, that's just my humble opinion.

What better way to bring a point across than to show pictures of both VTS The Revenger 12-inch figure with Art Figures: SAVES "Punisher" figure standing side-by-side and let you see and decide for yourself how different each figure is and which one is better. By the way, from what I hear, VTS The Revenger figure is already selling fast and some shops are already sold out of this figure so don't wait too long to get yours. Scroll down to see all the pictures. Click on them for bigger and better views (especially the landscape oriented ones). Enjoy!

In the pictures below, Art Figures: SAVES "Punisher War Zone" 12-inch figure is on the left and VTS 1/6 scale The REvenger figure is on the right.

As I've mentioned before, VTS The Revenger 12-inch figure has all the movie accurate 1/6 scale weapons which is a big plus and the quality is really good too.

Click on the pictures for bigger and better views. You can see how the same set-up can be done so differently and I'm certainly liking the newer version by VTS a lot. The sentimental me still will not let go of the Art Figures SAVES figure either haha they look great together
