Now this is something I can get behind. Seems like a great compromise between quality and price. Not obscenely expensive, but still looks highly detailed. It will likely be very delicate, especially since it is articulated. I've got plenty of Robo figures and a couple ED-209s, but no Cain. I will definitely consider ordering this and might be a good idea to get that preorder in sooner than later.

The Hiya Toys Robocop line is pretty cool. The ED-209 even has the raising legs and the feet are articulated. But the figures don't move as well as you'd imagine.
The best part imo is the scale as you can get a sweet display going without wasting too much space.

I´ll try to get this one if distribution helps. Some of their RoboCops will be available here in 2022!
I hope they´ll end putting some other characters from the trilogy, but I´m afraid they stick with robots/cyborgs. So maybe we´d end getting an Otomo as well?

I've seen some comments that say they are disappointed with the figure, this or that detail is wrong and so on.
Personally I don't really see it. I think it looks pretty good for a figure that size and price range.

Some people have eyes "as good as money can buy". I read some comments in the past about a Hot Toys Batman figure when people nitpicked about the seams of the suit or anything small like that. I couldn´t spot these "big" errors.
It´s a small figure, and it´s detailed enough for it´s size. And, most important, it´s something else apart for the thousands of Robo-Figures companies made in the past. It´s refreshing to see something different for a while, even with flaws.

The 3d model of cain I have looks way more accurate, but that's not the point. The robo hiya stuff has its own style. I think it fits in and gets away from it being so expensive, its $50, for a cain figure? you cant beat that price, and its painted. Its a for sure thing for me. Preordered

I think you will raise his head (there are some pics with the head in a different position) and the arms, but little else. Can´t complain, it´s a tricky design. I can´t see how much you can move the legs without getting the figure in an akward position where it falls immediately.

I guess it depends on how massive the torso is. If it's hollow, and the legs have these ratchet joints, it could definitely have articulated legs.
The mid section is what I'm mostly interested in.
The shoulder discs are most likely articulated, plus the 4 arms.
Either way, I'm glad they are making it.
Cain is such a cool character but ridiculously underrepresented next to the 1000's of standard Robocop figures out there.
Plus, those dudes are the most likely to finally put out some goons a Robocop figure gets to shoot in the dick.

I got the figure early from China.
The leg articulation is kinda weak and that limits the possibility.
The mid section is not articulated.
Of course, it looks nothing like the chronicle statue and you can't recreate it's awesome pose.
But still, this is a very neat looking figure and poses well enough.
And the fact that they released Robo, Ed and Cain is worth applause in my eyes.

Very nice looking even with the limitations!
It might be an idea to edit your post and copy paste the BBCode's from the image host, the 'Thumbnail' version would be best considering size of images, eg:
