* The Future Cop's helmet is pretty cool. It definitely looks to be inspired by Judge Dredd and Robo-Cop with a long, thin visor and a design that leaves only the mouth exposed.
* Another aspect of this figure that reminds me quite a bit of Judge Dredd is the armored chest piece. The extended shoulder pad on the right arm and the large badge on the left definitely seem reminiscent of that character's design and gives off a cool vibe. I'm not wild about the bright yellow (maybe a more bronze/ gold color would have been better)?
* I'm always happy with the quality and the articulation on these little guys. While they're only about 2 7/8ths inches, they remind me a lot of some of the various toylines of the 1980s and 1990s due to the random character selection, the durability, and the accessories.
* The robotic K-9 unit is really cool. He's not articulated but he has a great sculpt and a nice paint job that seems to look like a cross between Bumblebee and a German Shepard.
* The Future Cop's helmet is removable. Unfortunately, it doesn't really reveal anything cool underneath. It just looks kind of weird when it could have been a very cool feature.
The Future Cop is a Good figure, but he comes off as a bit duller. I love the K-9 companion (I'm all about dogs and robotic dogs) and the concept but the colors really don't do this guy any favors. Maybe if he'd had something cool under the helmet or a weapon of some sort, but this guy is just rather plain. I'm sure folks will dig the dog but that's about it.

When will toy companies figure out that action figures with dog companions are an action figure collectors best friend!I'm still trying to score an Officer Bowser and Blitz figure.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even think of Bowser and Blitz until y'all mentioned it in the comments! That's a great set. C.O.P.S. and C.R.O.O.K.S. is such an incredible toyline!
DeleteI absolutely agree with what you're saying, too! As a kid I always wanted the G.I. Joe figures that came with dogs.
Yeah, the combination of police officer and robotic dog actually reminds me more of Bowser & Blitz from Hasbro's late 80's C.O.P.S. toy line and cartoon than Judge Dredd or Robocop too.
ReplyDeleteThe dog definitely seems to show Bowser & Blitz as inspiration. The helmet and chest piece still look like RoboCop and Judge Dredd to my eyes, though. It seems we've got three sources of inspiration now!
DeleteI think this guy was my favorite of this series! The dog helps a lot. Had no idea that the helmet came off! I thought I had tried and it didn't budge, but maybe I should try again.
ReplyDeleteSine there isn't anything underneath (and it is smaller than any other Imaginext part) maybe mine is just a fluke?
DeleteI'm trying to avoid getting pulled into this line, but figures like this are making that very hard.
ReplyDeleteDon't even look at the Ghost, the Invisible Man, the Headless Horseman, or the Space Gorilla, then. You'll be helpless...
DeleteI wasn't even gonna look, but now I'm curious...GAH!
