The 1990 film RoboCop 2 introduced the world to one of science-fiction film’s menacing characters, the Cain cyborg. With a power-hungry psychopathic drug-lord as its human base, and an unscrupulous business as its creator, Cain wreaks havoc on the innocent civilians of Detroit until taken down by RoboCop in a climatic final scene.
Co-created by legendary special-effects animator Phil Tippett, the charismatic Cain was brought to life in the film with a full-size robot prop and several intricately machined stop-motion puppets, all which have survived and live at Tippett Studio. This exquisite resin, plastic and die-cast metal replica absolutely spares no details, from the robotic structure, the individual rivets of its constriction, chains, gears, to the hydraulic pumps. It’s from these screen-used stop-motion puppets that produced its licensed RoboCop 2 Cain model.
Molded from original masters and one of the original filming puppets, Cain is assembled with a whopping 275 individual parts, with each part individually cast and cleaned for new masters by Tippett Studio. This may be one of the most complex figures ever reproduced for private collectors. Cain measures 16-inches all x 10 ½-inches wide x 6-inches long and stands atop a logo base with display plaque signed by Phil Tippett. Limited edition of only 500 pieces worldwide.
This thing of beauty is fashioned in die cast metal and plastics his price is a bit hefty but if it fits your 'grail' budget, go for it here!
