Super7 will release a RoboCop “ReAction” figure line. It will include several RoboCop versions such as helmetless and battle damaged, Emil the melting man, ED-209 with Mr Kinney, as well as "i'd by that for a dollar" Bixby Snyder.
The release date is currently June 2019.
No info if there will be further figures in the line such as Clarence Boddicker and his gang, although it is very likely.

A while ago I posted a screenshot of an e-mail where Funko stated that they were working with the RoboCop licence in their 3.75" retro action-figure series "ReAction".

Prototypes of said figures have finally been officially revealed at Toy Fair 2019

The line appears to include RoboCop, Battle-Damaged RoboCop, Helmetless RoboCop, Emil the Melting Man, Bixby Snyder, ED-209...and what I think is supposed to be Mr. Kinney.
No Clarance, Lewis or the rest of the gang as of yet, but hopefully soon.

This is truly great news. The ReAction figures seem to sell for about $15 each which is affordable enough that I should be able to get the whole line. Not sure if I wanna display them carded or loose, though I always rip 'em out of the package eventually!
Based on this I do have two criticisms: First, there is no Lewis. I know these are just unpainted prototypes but Lewis has been criminally underrepresented in action figure form and it would a real shame if they left her out for this run. Second, I am not a fan of the Auto-9 being attached to the hand and prefer it be a separate accessory. I realize that these are retro style collector figures and not really meant to be played with so that is a small gripe.
Overall, this product line looks like it is really going above and beyond. 3 versions of Robocop is basically the standard at this point, but Bixby Snyder is a huge shock of the best kind. Melting Emil is a great choice too and Kinney's appearance is kinda mind blowing. These are characters that nobody ever thought would have a figure. I hope everything works out and that they find room for Lewis and Clarence and the Old Man too. In any case, I am looking forward to buying any and all of these figures asap.

I think this line is refreshing in that is does something else than just release yet another RoboCop figure and then nothing else. I have too many Robo figures already.
With Kinney and Bixby, it is certainly weird that they chose those characters, but it's a good weird and I'm assuming they will do more as leaving out Clarence Boddicker would be a strange decision.
I'm split on a Lewis toy. There's never been one so it would be cool, but i don't see myself being overly hyped to actually buy it.
Kind of boring cards for the figures. I would have liked some varied grafic for the different characters, such as was done with the series toys.

I don't think it's permanently attached, they just put it in the figures' hands.
With that being said, I agree with Archive - while the cardback certainly isn't ugly, a bit more personalization would've been nice. _________________ Anything you post can be used against you!

Kenny looks like he gave birth to an Alien rather than get shot to hell by ED-209! _________________

They should do some promo where if you get the whole set, you only pay a dollar for Bixby Snyder or something.
Like that time when you could pay for the new-at-the-time Donkey Kong game with "a bunch of bananas". _________________ Anything you post can be used against you!

I agree about no Lewis being kinda BS.. Although I figure they might do a follow up set which would have Lewis and perhaps also Boddicker,. It's possible. Though I'm not necessarily holding my breath - Like Archive I'm rather torn.. I would love to see them get some figure love but not like I'm gonna make a petition and social media campaign if they don't.
That said I agree the ones they chose are both awesome and a bit odd. I think the Kinney is supposed to be with ED as a set (or perhaps that is the intent anyway, whether or not they are actually sold as such) and that does make a bit more sense. Though I've no idea what Bixby would be partnered with, lolz. Still pretty friggen awesome to see more obscure parts of the franchise get a little love though!
RoboFan_93 : | They should do some promo where if you get the whole set, you only pay a dollar for Bixby Snyder or something. |
Lol I agree. With that if these figures are as cheap as the typical ReActions I'll almost certainly be getting one or two myself. _________________ I don't wanna pay that, PhotoBucket. Now maybe you haven't heard, but I'm the guy in old Archive. So hows about you just shit snow for a year and I'll figure out something else. Sayonara!

I hope they´ll be available in Europe, as I´d like to get these.
Not sure if they´ll do these characters as "wave 1" or they´ll include more at the release date, but I´d be worried if they plan more than one batch of Robo. I´ve seen how Funko release some less popular Batman 66 characters on their first line to drop "wave 2" due to popularity/sales.

That would be on my dream list of Robo swag, right next to a Boddicker figure with a 'Bitches Leave' button. _________________ I don't wanna pay that, PhotoBucket.

Agree with Archive it's weird but good weird. They're out of left field choices and something a bit different from the same old same old. As they'll be affordable more than happy to pick these up and support the line.
Incidentally, there was a Lewis figure in the Ultra Police line - not that it resembled Nancy or even the animated series Lewis.

That's true. Lewis is also included alongside Robo and ED-209 in the Mez-It three pack, but aside from those I can't think of any other Lewis figures.
Also, this makes me think, we need really need to all rally behind this line of figures. Buy them all, buy two of each and keep one in the package. Give them to your friends and/or get them to buy them too. With enough support, Robocop will be the next Star Wars and there will be a figure of every character. I don't just mean Bertha and the gang from Robocop 3, I mean the gang from the Officer Down episode of Robocop the Series. And the sick kid from the same episode, with toy clown accessory. I'd buy that for $14.99+S&H!

They missed their planned "June 2019" release date, but hopefully we'll get some news about these figures soon.

That's a shame, who knows when we will hear more but I'm ready to buy them whenever they should appear!
