NECA’s Tribute to an Icon: The RoboCop Poster Series 7” Scale Action Figure

Right, folks, NECA has done it again—this time with a RoboCop figure that looks like it just stepped off the 1987 movie poster and onto your shelf. The NECA RoboCop Poster Series 7” Scale Action Figure isn’t just your standard action figure; it’s a love letter to one of the most iconic pieces of film art ever. And if you’re like me—obsessed with both toys and obscure movie trivia—this one’s got a bit of everything.

Bringing the Poster to Life

When I first saw the photos of this RoboCop Poster Series 7 inch Figure, I had to do a double take. NECA has absolutely nailed the aesthetic of the original movie poster, with that dramatic lighting and colour grading applied directly to the figure. It’s like RoboCop walked through a neon-lit crime scene and decided to just stay that way.

The detailing is superb, with a unique metallic blue and pinkish-purple paint application that makes the figure pop in a way I’ve never quite seen before. And articulation-wise? From what I can tell, they’ve kept the joints subtle enough that the sculpt isn’t disrupted. That’s a win.

The Man Behind the Poster

Now, here’s a bit of movie trivia for you: that legendary RoboCop poster? It wasn’t a photo—it was a painting. The artist responsible was Mike Bryan, who meticulously airbrushed every detail to create what many assumed was a retouched photograph. Back in the ’80s, before digital manipulation became standard, illustrators like Bryan were creating hyper-realistic artwork by hand, and his RoboCop piece is one of the best examples of the craft.

Knowing that makes this figure even cooler. Not only is NECA giving us an action figure, but they’re also paying homage to a masterpiece of movie marketing. And let’s be honest—who doesn’t love a good bit of behind-the-scenes art history?

Packaging That Deserves Shelf Space

If you’re a sucker for good packaging (guilty as charged), then you’ll love the box this NECA RoboCop Figure comes in. It mimics the original movie poster, making it one of those rare figures that looks just as good unopened as it does out of the box. I’ll still be opening mine, of course—for science.

How This Stacks Up Against NECA’s Other Releases

This isn’t the first time NECA has wowed me with their dedication to cinematic history. Their Evolution of a Gremlin Box Set also did a fantastic job of capturing that vintage movie magic, and I’d say this RoboCop figure is on the same level of must-have nostalgia.

On the other hand, if you’re more into the classic so-bad-they’re-good retro vibes, you might enjoy diving into my piece on Series 6 Ben Cooper Costume Kids Collection—a wild ride through the weird and wonderful world of old-school Halloween costumes.
