NO fucking way this was happening! NECA is notoriously cheap about making new sculpts,and will reuse a body over and over and over again as long as they can get away with it.

While I like the iridescent clearcoat on NECA's Robo, it is soooooooo nice to finally see some blue in there! Also, I'd like to point out that I mentioned the Weapon Arm mere hours before they showed off the new figure. So I feel good about that too.
Don't feel so good about the lack of helmetlessnessess. _________________

I'm totally psyched about a figure having the gunarm and Cobra Gun, but that's the gun nut part of me talking. That said, this is still pretty cool. _________________ I don't wanna pay that, PhotoBucket. Now maybe you haven't heard, but I'm the guy in old Archive.

Because that is pretty hard to achieve by just repainting the original sculpt.

NECA head honcho Randy Falk has been asked (via Twitter?) whether or not they would ever do a helmetless '87 Robocop and his answer was no. Apparently Weller charges a mint for his likeness rights. Of course the same was said about Arnie Schwarzenegger for years and eventually they made Predator and Terminator figures, so who knows.

I'd pick him up just for the new paint scheme, the other pieces are just bonuses! I really wish they'd include an open right hand, though. I'd prefer it to the terminal strip fist to be honest. _________________

You pretty much said it Trap - Though I don't mind the data spike, still would like an open hand as well. Bah. _________________ I don't wanna pay that, PhotoBucket.

I'll wait till we get production pics before trying to figure out whether it's permanently attached or not. There are plenty of messy bits on that prototype... the tip of the Weapon Arm's gun is snapped off, and it looks like painted over putty on the inside of the arm thrusters.
Too soon to tell, IMO. _________________

Do you think guys, the weapon arm can be removed and replaced by a normal hand ?

Randy Falk said in an interview at Toy Fair '14 that the flight pack IS removable. He didn't mention the gun arm but I'd imagine it's removable too.

Hopefully it won't be too difficult to mode the pack with a couple of LEDs!
No reason why the Weapon Arm shouldn't pop off. Interchangeable hands is already part of the figure's design, and I don't think they'd spend the cash for any tooling they didn't have to.
Speaking of, they'd have to retool the chest for a helmetless Robo, since the collar isn't a separate piece.... _________________
