Yo dead ass I LOVE YOU for collecting these. The history and stories behind these touches close to home on so many ways. This video is everything. Much appreciated sincerely
I remember the day my dad got me the robocop figure. I was maybe 3 or 4. It was the first time I heard my parents argue, because my mum realised my dad had let me watch the movie. Irony was, she had let me watch American werewolf in london around the same time. Question, why was robo always so skinny and small compared to the other figures?
Yeah Kenner had kind of a half Silverhawks, half C.O.P.S. thing going on with the secondary officer characters, sort of massive overcompensation to make them as powerful as Robocop lol. The ED-209 turned out pretty good, regret missing it before and now it commands some extra money.🙁 In hindsight I think the line needed more world-building elements than characters, more playsets were needed to sell the roster better. They had the cartoon but you have to build up a character to make them attractive next to Robocop, even Robo's car was cooler heh. Toy Island wasn't as big or well known as Kenner but I think they did a better job with the license, who could predict cap rolls would get thinner but electronic sound still works.
I’ve watched this video twice now because I like seeing all the ones I don’t have and you did a great review on them. My question is, why did they give Lewis such an awful helmet? Why didn’t she get a helmet with an orange visor if they were going for the cartoon? And her cross bow accessory is just laughable. Why did they make these weird decisions when they could have given her accessories from other lines that would have at least looked more similar to what she used in the show. So many strange Kenner decisions. I’ve tracked a few various Kenner accessories from other lines down from YOJoe to make it look more like what we saw in the show.
One of my all time favorite movies but even 25 years later I still can't watch Murphy's murder scene. It is so brutal and it freaked me out as a kid. Great video as usual, it would be cool to see more comparissons to modern versions of the figures however. Do you have a modern ED 209?
Haha 🤣‼️ The Robocop movie was Rated R 🎥 🎞 🍿 Yet they try to find a way to introduce it to children… More recently, other Rated R franchises like Predator & Alien toys are showing up in Walmart… directed @ children. I was one of the youths that viewed the original theatrical releases, back in the 80’s 😱🤣‼️
The robocop ultra force figure line was revolutionary and cool for the time but since toys have evolved so much since then they look outdated and lame by today's standards
Thank you. This is informative.
I wish the 1980s cartoon was also available on home media. The classics should be honored and remembered.

I got all the series 1 figures in the 80s. I still have them. Awesome video.
I almost forgot about Kenner’s Robocop. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
I absolutely love this video !! Thank you for all the information and showing the action features of this toy line.
Had that robocop figure with the caps back in the 90's.
You got me laughing on how you introduce each figure,😂
Ace Jackson looks like a member of the Village People.😆
From what I've seen the figures are easy to obtain, but those awesome vehicles seem more challenging. I hope to get some soon!
Both of the motorcycles are reused in the Dark Knight Collection for the 1st and 2nd Batman movies.
Oh neat
Such an awesome fun amazing bunch of action figures...🤘🏼💯✔️
The series 2 figures moved the cap firing mechanism from their backs to their big weapons.

I really like this toy line, great review.
Nitro/Chainsaw (the Vandals)are my Tag Team Champions in my Wrestling Organization (AWL)👍🏾
EDD-209: You have 60 seconds to comply
ROBOCOP: Your move, creep!
LOL that is what happened in the falling down the stairs scene
These are so cool. Looks like something my uncle would have in his collection.
Robocp quei
Night fighter robocop started out as a mailaway and eventually retail.
My brother and I had most of the figures and the Robocopter as kids. I'd like to reacquire them and collect the whole line but it's a low priority.
Toxic waster looks like a ghost buster

Nice video!!!! God bless
I appreciate it! Thanks
Ed 260 is an army builder

Yes this movie was very violent. The tv realtors left a bigger impact on me and I found them to be the creepiest thing in the movie when I was a kid.
@@tydiriumhanger1320 " tv realtors" The "Why not make me an offer" video agent? Interesting.
i felt murphys pain when i watched that
@@tydiriumhanger1320 Holy shit, I just realized it is nearly 35 years later not 25... WTF?
Caps go in the weapons in series 2
This goes well with the police academy toy line and c.o.p.s. toy line.
I had the motorcycle 17:43 ❤
Wasn't Sergeant Reed African American in the movie?
Haha 🤣‼️
The Robocop movie was Rated R 🎥 🎞 🍿
Yet they try to find a way to introduce it to children…

Scorcher 's face reminds me of a Scooby doo villain before the rubber mask removal..lol.
Considering Dr. McNamara designed the ED-209, I think the "communication device" accessory is a remote control for ED-209.

Ugly line!
