Another year and New York Comic Con has come and gone. This year I had planned to actually attend NYCC, but after my poor planning and limited finances I decided that there were a lot more things I could spend my money on.

This for me is all to do with me personal love of the original Robocop. I am a huge fan and ordered this on days one. After the second delay of this I questioned why as I bothering to wait and was very close to cancelling due to the wait. I then saw these photographs and I see that Jerry love for Rocobop has shone through and I am very happy I did not cancel in haste. Come on January 2016…

Now this piece blew me away. I love the details all over this statue, from Medusa herself, to the soldier turned to stone and the second soldier trying to escape. I had my finger over the ordered button and with the money already in my PayPal from sales around that time I am really surprised I did not place the order. This will upset some collectors, but to me I think this is better than the original.

Now I feel that PCS Cammy just missed the mark. The pose looks really awkward and was not well received with collectors. Almost looking like she is struggling to stand or had slipped on something, but PCS have done the right thing and sent out an email a few days ago to say that they are going to go back and revise the base and pose.

Now remember I was not at the show and I am only going by the photos I have seen. This is all just my opinion and how I feel, but it does not mean you will feel the same way.
