Don’t blink or you’ll miss out on NECA’s exclusive drop of the incredible RoboCop Alex Murphy figure on Cyber Monday. This highly anticipated figure, featuring the likeness of the iconic actor Peter Weller, sold out quickly due to its limited quantity and included autograph. But fear not, for there’s great news for those who missed out on the autograph and just want the figure at regular prices. NECA is now offering a version without the autograph card for pre-order through fan-channel retailers like Entertainment Earth.
Think It Over…
This deal makes it even more tempting to buy two figures. You can have one displayed in pristine police body armor, while the other showcases the intense action with multiple chest wounds and a blown-off arm or hand. The figure comes with multiple heads, including a helmeted version, an unhelmeted version, and a bloody screaming version. It even includes a special hand for the iconic T.J. Lazer gun twirl. The price for this ultimate RoboCop figure is $36.99, and it is expected to be delivered in January.
While NECA has released several RoboCop figures over the years, this is the first time they have been able to showcase the character’s full face thanks to Peter Weller’s recent likeness deal. This 7-inch figure of Murphy in his pre-RoboCop body armor is a must-have for collectors and fans. In fact, creative customizers might even find a way to create a Buckaroo Banzai figure using one of the extra heads on a different body. The figure comes in a window box with an opening front flap, adding to its collectible appeal.
While there have been sequels, a reboot, and TV shows based on RoboCop, nothing compares to the original Paul Verhoeven film, which remains a timeless classic. Merchandisers understand this and rarely venture beyond the first film when creating merchandise. However, with Peter Weller’s likeness now available, there’s potential for more exciting figures in the future. Who knows, maybe other actors will be inspired to sign on, and NECA will see the opportunity to create even more incredible collectibles.
