RoboCop in 2017 - What's next for Robo?

-----------------------------------

So where do RoboCop go from here? While a direct sequel to the 2014 reboot is very unlikely at this point, and no new comics or games being in production, 2017 will still present some interesting events for us Robo fans to enjoy. 

Let's have a look at what we know so far.


http://robocoparchive.com/forum/roboin2017-1.jpg

30th Anniversary
July 17 2017 marks the 30th Anniversary of the theatrical release of RoboCop. If MGM will acknowledge this at all is anyones guess. 
My bet is that they at the very least will release the same Robo1 disc once again with a new cover. Don't expect anything new from MGM here. 
Old stuff will be repackaged and re-released for a quick buck.



http://robocoparchive.com/forum/roboin2017-2.jpg

RoboDoc
Mostly likely the best thing in 2017 is the extremely extensive "RoboDoc" which will feature interviews with basically everyone involved with the 
RoboCop movies and the tv series. The only ones missing are of course the people that are sadly no longer with us and Weller who has declined 
to participate. All these missing people should appear in some capacity via old footage though.



http://robocoparchive.com/forum/roboin2017-3.jpg

RoboCopS
A lot of fans are wondering what happened with the "RoboCops" web series that was to be produced by Machinema. Unfortunately we have 
heard nothing new since it was announced back in May 2015. No word if it is still in development or if it has, for whatever reason, been scrapped. 

All attempts at getting a reply or any kind of info from Machinema has been answered with silence. 
With the "RoboCops" imdb page recently removed we can probably forget about this webseries happening.



http://robocoparchive.com/forum/roboin2017-4.jpg

RoboCop Statue
A kickstarter campaign that started way back in 2011 (!!!) has still not been completed. At one time it was supposed to be done in time for the RoboCop 
remake premiere but that didn't happen. Supposedly and logically the statue could be finished in time for the 30th anniversary but if that actually happens 
remains to be seen. If it DOES happen in 2017 it should be quite the spectacle with press and Robo cast and crew participating. 
(Weller not likely to appear.)


http://robocoparchive.com/forum/roboin2017-6.jpg

RoboCop 2 from threezero
A full unpainted figure was displayed at the Toy Soul exhibition in Hong Kong as long ago as December 2015 .  
So far we have heard no announcement of any set release date, but sometime in 2017 seems obvious.

Mystery Announcement
To be released in March 2017, this official product is a secret for now. Stay tuned!



Any 2017 Robo events I forgot? Anything else robo related you look forward to?

RoboDoc is the big deal next year for sure. Really looking forward to it.

Would be nice if they get that damn statue done, was really looking forward to that ages ago. Still am but, seriously man!

As for anything else, well, this is more community-centered rather than an overall thing but would the little get-together RoboHell was talking about before still be on? Been a minute and so guess I wanted to know if there was any update on it - I know it's somewhat dependent on (among other things) whether Alamo or anybody is doing a scheduled screening but I would expect something again being the 30th and all. Definitely looking forward to that if it can still be wrangled.

-----------------------------------

Seems 2017 will be a pretty big year for Robo and, being the 30th anniversary, that's to be expected.   I'd say RoboDoc is number one on my anticipation list.   I haven't been this excited for a RoboCop product since around 1996 when I got the Criterion version in the mail and was about the watch the movie uncut for the first time ever.  
The Detroit statue is long overdue and should be a pretty neat unveiling, granted it actually happens next year. 
I'm also very much looking forward to whatever form the 30th anniversary screening takes.  Seems like there's a chance for the RoboDoc crew to be in attendance and filming for the doc also!   So that should be quite an experience.  Pretty stoked to see what else Chronicle Collectibles churns out that I can't afford. And now I'm pretty curious about the "mystery product"!  
Looking forward to 2017!

DEAD OR ALIVE VOLUME 3
https://dyn0.media.forbiddenplanet.com/products/diamond/STL025/STL025455.jpg.size-600_maxheight-600_square-true.jpg
WHEN?: Early March
The third and final volume of BOOM! Studios' acclaimed Robocop series written by Joshua Williamson.  This will collect the final issues 9-12 where Dennis Culver joins as co-writer with art by Alejandro Aragon and Amancay Nahuelpan.  Marissa Louise is present throughout as our loyal colorist.  Although we lost Carlos Magno as the artist for these issues (he still did the covers for 9-11), it's interesting to see the different styles of art, and overall, this finale - whilst sooner than hoped for - brought an end to one of the best series of Robo comics since the Dark Horse days.

Pre-order the paperback from Amazon here (Kindle edition also available):
https://www.amazon.com/Robocop-Dead-Alive-Vol-3/dp/1608868621


CHRONICLE COLLECTIBLES BUST
http://www.simplytoys.com.sg/28265-thickbox_default/chronicle-collectibles-robocop-half-scale-bust.jpg
WHEN?: 2nd quarter
Phil Tippet's Chronicle Collectibles' third Robo product following perfect ED-209 and RoboCain statues is slightly more affordable, although still expensive but that does seem to reflect the quality from Chronicle.  On their Facebook account, Chronicle have confirmed they have discussed maybe doing statues or replicas of the RoboCop 2 Prototypes (the 'Rejects' as they referred to them.)  Also, when asked about a helmetless Robo bust, they confirmed there were likeness issues, but later said that they might do a 'Stripped Robo' bust from RoboCop 2.  There's lots of Jurassic Park and Terminator stuff on their website, so I hope they'll do more RoboCop.  My bank account hopes they don't...
Official video here:  https://youtu.be/m6oE3lbLYSc
Pre-orders open now:

NECA ENDOCOP  (Photograph work in progress, not final)
http://news.toyark.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2015/08/NECA-Robocop-vs-Terminator-Endocop.jpg
http://comicsalliance.com/files/2015/08/robocop-terminator-endocop.jpg
WHEN?: July
This long-rumored action figure has been confirmed by Neca on Twitter to be being released to coincide with RoboCop's 30th anniversary, so expect it to materialize by July.  A lot more affordable than Chronicle and takes up less space in your living quarters!  On a related note, Neca have an incredibly successful Predator line and are starting to release Aliens figures based on the old Kenner toys, but with all of today's detail and articulation.  Feel free to tweet them at @NECA_TOYS on Mondays (make sure you hashtag your tweet #MurphyMonday ) if you want them to do Ultra Police figures.  I know there's likeness issues (again!) with doing film characters, but what that PROBABLY means is that they have to pay to do a Melting Emil or an accurate Anne Lewis or Boddicker, and they don't think there's a market for it.  If they think fans are interested in seeing that, they may look further into the possibility.

AH! New comics! Cool!

Knew the bust was coming also - really like it a lot! I do agree with some it seems a bit lacking but it's still awesome. I'm also liking the EndoCop figure, pretty neat. :)

Hm? "Mystery"? "Official"?  :huhwhat: 

To me, the most exciting "RoboEvent" will be RoboDoc. Yes, the expensive figures, the statue or movie screenings could be cool, but I donīt have the money or Iīm not in the USA  :b I put my small contribution on the RoboDoc Kickstarter, so I canīt wait to get comfortable on the couch and watch that Blu-Ray.


Iīm working on a small tribute to Robo for 2017 as well, but isnīt important. Anyway, as a RoboGeek, itīs a dream come true. Youīll see  :b

NECA ENDOCOP

Holy crap. How did I miss the announcement of this last year? This is so simple, yet so beautiful. NECA already made Robocop vs. Terminator figures, so why not combine then into one figure? Not to mention that it is based on what is probably the pinnacle of Robocop comics. And a great moment from the comic at that. Now this is some exciting Robo news. Forget the mystery announcement, I'm already set for 2017. I wonder if they will do a whole line or just the single figures? If it was a whole line I'd be in heaven. I know NECA loves releasing new versions of the same basic Robo figure, so how about one loaded up with the rocket arm and jet pack and all that gear Robo wore in the last issue of RvT? That and a couple Endocops and I need new pants.

-----------------------------------

I think the chances are reasonably high that we will see that version of Robo in figure form. Like I said, NECA loves retooling the same basic figures and all they would need for the 'final form' Robocop is redo the right arm and add the gattling gun, maybe a new jetpack too. I was a bit upset when they went with the game before the comic with RvT but now I'm quite pleased.

Ok, time to have some fun guessing what the mystery product is...

I think we can discount re-releases of past films with extra features from Archive's comments about MGM (unless it was a deliberate double bluff.) However, not sure where The Series rights lay. Could there be a remaster with audio commentaries on the way?

Would love the Marvel or Dark Horse stuff to get a nice new shiny re-issue. But would they plan that for the same month BOOM's collected Dead Or Alive 3 comes out.

How about a new game? GTA: Delta City. Not sure what the deal is these days with games, but wouldn't they announce the game was in development before announcing the release? Could be awesome, but seems unlikely - unfortunately.

Theatrical re-release? I wouldn't mind betting on this for one night only in July but not really a 'product', more an event.

Hardback book like The Definitive Guide? Maybe a script book bringing together all the shooting scripts with some glossy photos.

Chronicle - Either a double pack of RoboRejects from the 2nd film, or a ridiculously expensive 1:2 or 1:1 RoboCop. The latter I will make room to house and afford, the latter not so much.

Colour me very intrigued with the mystery announcement... What could it be. Is March 2017 an anniversary date for anything Robo related? I can't think of any off-hand. The date may not matter, but for maximum impact, you would have thought they would have released any new items around the time of the 30th anniversary and rode the coat-tails of that publicity (whatever it gets that is!)

It if was a special edition/remaster of RoboCop 2/3/Series with lots of special features, I would lose my shit but I highly doubt that's what it will be.

It's gonna annoy me having to wait to find out what it is...!

If there was ever a thing I did NOT expect to see, it would be a special edition of R2 and R3. This is great! Here's hoping it won't just be a new transfer or something - we need actual extras and documentaries on those flicks, I'll take deleted scenes... anything!! Just make that "Special Edition" on the cover actually stand for something!

With that being said, I like the covers, the one on R3 actually makes the flightpack look good.

Eh, actually I think the covers are rather weak. But not much worse than some of the shit MGM's pawed on us on R1 releases over the years.

That said, I understand Scream Factory are known for content-filled releases so I expect they'll certainly have some extra stuff to make it worth the while. :)

They're certainly not spectacular, but I like seeing some hand-drawn artwork on there, even if it is based off photos (or toys). I certainly think it's better than that grotesque cover with the "removable helmet" from a few years back or even the giant-looking Robo on the steelbook. Nothing too fancy, but looks relatively good and gets the job done.

That was of course the mystery product. :)

First off though, not to raise any false hope. There will be NO deleted scenes in video form. I've had some lengthy discussions with the guy producing the content and it's too complicated to hunt them down. It would need some extra people power to be able to find them in the MGM vault and go through it. 

What they WILL include (so far) is vintage Robo2-3 documentaries. Anything they can find in the MGM vault of released making ofs and featurettes. They've also been digging into the image banks and will include many rare images, with focus on deleted stuff. 

They have the goal to produce new special features along with the vintage stuff, but I'm uncertain at what level their ambition is, if it's just short snippets or more indepth. I suggested they they do something about the prototypes and the gunarm/fightpack but we'll see what they choose, and are able, to do.

I hope not! Itīd nice to have different extras for these two different projects.

I cannot wait for these. It is annoying they are Region A only (for now). I'm hoping a European compatible release is coming soon after or at the same time.

Well, I wanted to have that sweet edition of "Darkman" from them. It came years ago, and there arenīt any similar releases in Europe with a single extra on it. So, I think we wonīt see these beauties here. I donīt know what to do, if I could get these two anyway and try to watch them on my computer. Who knows.

 What they WILL include (so far) is vintage Robo2-3 documentaries. Anything they can find in the MGM vault of released making ofs and featurettes. They've also been digging into the image banks and will include many rare images, with focus on deleted stuff. 

Doesnīt sound bad to me. Itīs hard to believe they had stuff on the MGM vaults and yet no effort from them to release these films with extras. I canīt figure why they still do these things. Copyright issues? Having bare-bones VHS were ok by the time (yet some titles had behind the scenes featurettes before or after the film), but right now itīs weird to have formats like DVDs or Blu-Ray and release the films without any single extra.

My laptop has a blu-ray player built in so I guess I could get the US blu-rays and watch them, but my intention is to get an actual blu-ray player for the house and watch on my main TV. So I'd need to get one that is multi-region but don't the US copies play at a different frame rate then European versions, so it will be slightly slower than a proper PAL version? Or has that all been done away with now we have moved on to blu-ray/HD sources?

Tue Dec 06, 2016 7:26 pm



-----------------------------------

Bah, I was already a bit skeptical on the deleted scenes and that sucks there won't be any but I figured some period BTS clips and interviews would be likely, along with a bit of current/other stuff. I'm quite intrigued by the rare images they say they're uncovering.

I too wonder if they might actually outsource from the Doc for stuff, I might not mind it so much for a couple things perhaps but would want most of it to be specific to the release, to add to the proper 'collector's edition' of it. As Chanood said, to have that access now and NOT do some kind of special release when we've proved we're a fanbase that will lap the shit right up doesn't make sense to me, absent some kind of legal issue or what-have-you.

Looking back on the artwork, actually it's okay. I do admire to 'art' of it, even though I think it seems half-assed, especially what with use of the figure and all that. It's not horrible for sure, but I think it could have been done better still.

Anyway, this all still sounds pretty fuckin' bitchin nonetheless. As said, 2017 is already looking way better of a year! :)

I remember around the time R3 was making its way onto pay-per-view and movie channels a friend of mine told me he saw a behind the scenes featurette on either HBO or Showtime.   He mentioned they talked about the flight pack and all sorts of things.  I was so jealous and tried to find something for years.

Wait, aside from the extremely short TV featurette on R2 Im not aware of any making of for 2&3, do you know which documentaries theyre talking about?

Documentary is probably the wrong word. It will be more like promos. Stuff they put together to air on tv at the time to promote. 

It's also complicated just what content MGM will clear and approved for them to use.

Likewise someone told me they saw Burke with his arm tucked in behind the chest plate and a robotic arm in its place.  I've never been able to find this.

Nevertheless its still very interesting, since Im only familiar with the short making of promo thats on youtube

That's in the movie anyway! You can clearly see Burke's real arm behind his back when his Robo arm has been cut off by Otomo. It's rather obvious!

WHOAAAA! Oh no they didn't!!!

Scream Factory have announced Collector's Edition releases of RoboCop 2 and 3 for March 21!!!!

https://shoutfactory-productionsite.s3.amazonaws.com/system/asset/file/0191fe95627149748f5696e831d86c0a/product_images_modal_Robocop2.BR.Cover.72dpi__7B63bba063-e1e4-4c70-947e-dae8e8446885_7D.pnghttps://shoutfactory-productionsite.s3.amazonaws.com/system/asset/file/63500b4136842eafc01c66873dc8b22b/product_images_modal_Robocop3.BR.Cover.72dpi__7B015733fa-3e89-4f7a-a15f-81933b633796_7D.png

Extras to be confirmed in February.  Fingers crossed for some HD-quality deleted scenes.

Early pre-orders come with 18" x 24" posters and get shipped two weeks early too!
https://www.shoutfactory.com/film/sci-fi/robocop-2-collector-s-edition
https://www.shoutfactory.com/film/sci-fi/robocop-3-collector-s-edition

Unfortunately, it looks like they are region-locked and ship only to the US and Canada, but it's a step further!



probably going to be chock full of extras knowing scream factory. they always do the absolute best they can with these. so that makes the price worth it.

Oh Im sure itll be worth it. These guys  always managed to get chock full of amazing extras even for insanely obscure movies, so with these, theyll do wonders Im sure. Again, for me an audio commentary with Davison for R2 and Dekker for R3 would be worth $100 alone

I want a reprint of Robocop Vs. The Terminator.

If you mean the original Dark Horse comic book series, it was reprinted last year. There were two versions. The regular edition features newly recolored art. I was personally not a fan of the new colors as I have always classic, Dark Horse style coloring. There is also a Gallery Edition, which features full scale reproductions of Walt Simonson's original art. This is the version I opted for. As far as Robocop products go, there is nothing like it. Simonson wrote and inked the original series and this behidn the scenes look is fascinating. I enjoyed reading the series side by side with the original comics, which I have had for a while. Both versions of the reprint include some additional content, alternate covers and sketches and such.

If you mean the Dynamite comic book series Robocop Terminator: Kill Human, you're shit out of luck. They will never reprint that series, with good reason.

Hi,  anyone receive the posters and t-shirts from Robodoc production ?

Posters were greatly designed,  but a bit disappointed that they are folded. 

Also,  T-shirts are not great,  the black one is slightly better than the white one,  which the color looks faded.

While I think they should be shipped on a roll (whatever you call it in English) I admit the original cover doesnīt look bad that way, as it looks kind of vintage/used.

Canīt help you on this issue; I pledged for the Blu Ray only.

Bah, I haven't gotten my poster yet (was all I could afford at the time), then again I'm in the states so if they're shipping from the UK I figure it'll be a bit longer for me. That said, I too wish they were shipped rolled rather than folded, but I think Chanood's got something of a point. Eh, the R2 theater poster I got is folded too so I guess it'll have a nice companion there at least.

It would have been perfect if they are shipped in a roll. Now I am thinking whether it is worth buying frames of them.

There should be a third poster coming,  I have suggested them to ship by roll, don't think they have time to do that anyway,  just want them to focus on the editing of the Doc. 

Sorry to hear about the folded R2 poster Stan.

Hey, don't be - That piece I'm not unhappy about having in that or indeed any condition, I assure you. :) But thanks for the sentiment anyway.

Now if this one would get here!

.   But a thing that I liked in this poster is to show what are waiting for him when he get out of the car of the poster of the first movie. A answer for years of a mistery that no one thinked about.

I agree, I very much like the other side perspective, it's well done and just plain awesome - a great compliment to the original's iconic image. :)

.   Yeah! A funny great idea to a style of diorama: to think what are waiting RoboCop in the other side of each poster/movie.

T-Shirts baby, I want me some epic Robocop T-shirts with that cool art on them :D that way whenever I manage to go to a comic con I can wow some folks, I would put on my Robocop suit, except I need to drop some weight and my suit needs repairs (and a new original helmet not the one missing the vent)...

Anywho, T-Shirts is what I want most :D
