  • Glowing in the dark is not very good night-camo, lol.

    Seriously though, I love me some Robocop 😀

    • BTW: You should track down the battle damaged Robocop from the TV series toyline. It's the only old Robo figure I have, and it has some nice interchangeable parts (two helmets and two chest pieces).

      It's pretty neat.

    awesome review! … i had the regular kenner robocop when i was growing up, but not this glow-in-the-dark one …

    i agree – it's still amazing how toys were produced from films like robocop and terminator which were essentially violent rated-r movies – if i remember, i was allowed to watch those movies when i was young (under the supervision of my folks) so maybe other guys had the same experience? …
