 NECA gave Figures.com the exclusive on the latest version of this upcoming Robocop nemesis.  On the left you’ll see the updated ED-209 and on the right you’ll see its reveal from Toy Fair 2013.  The main difference seems to be the paint job and new decals.  The figure should have working hydraulics on the legs (up and down motion) and articulation in the arms, legs and feet.  According to reports from Toy Fair, it’s close in scale to NECA’s 7-inch scale Robocop figures, with the company shooting for a $50 price tag. This urban police enforcement bot will be authorized to use force sometime this summer.

Mecha Disney

It’s like a mix between Voltron and the Magic Kingdom.  In a collaboration between Tamashii Nations and Disney, some classic characters will be turned into transforming and combining “Gattai” robots. The Mickey and Friends Cho Gattai King Chogokin Robo Action Figure features die-cast parts and articulation. 7 individual robots make up the mecha including Jet Mickey, Sky Minnie, Diver Donald, Aqua Daisy, Land Goofy, Ace Willie, Dash Pluto and Kennel. Once combined, the King Robot will stand just a little over 8-inches high.  Dream Stick and Magical Mirror accessories also come in the set, along with 6 original-illustration postcard presentations as a limited first-production issue bonus.  This will land in the state this May or you can pre-order it here.

Is he a city, a robot or a rolling powerhouse of Decepticon butt-kicking goodness?  Actually, he’s all three.  To commemorate his inclusion in the Fall of Cybertron videogame, Hasbro will release this behemoth next year.   In robot mode, Titan Metroplex stands a whopping two feet tall.  That’s a lot-a robot!

If you happen to be in violation of  Penal Code 1.13, Section 9, you may want to slowly back away from this 7-inch scale action figure.  Robocop’s mechanical archenemy from Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 film will get the toy treatment from the folks at NECA.  We don’t have much information about it yet other than these three pics from Toy Fair, but we’ll keep you posted.
