HA! I sold my version of that bust years ago on eBay (when I was unloading busts / statues I never displayed). I'm only a fan of the original costume. Then I happened across one of these nuPanthers on eBay recently and noticed it is one of the few Bowens that's a collectible --- very high priced.
(I also sold my Punisher bust --- the recalled and very rare release -- had no idea it was recalled and very collectible/valuable)

Trevor, over the shoulder you can see the leg of the big Black Panther statue in the original costume. One of my favorite Bowen statue. Sadly, Bowen has seemed to be getting away from these types of statues.
I think the Punisher bust was recalled because of the strange looking "five o' clock" shadow. I have this bust and it is strange looking.

Speaking of RoboCop…
About 15 inches tall. As a frame of reference, the adjacent Frankenstein Monster head is life-sized.

Ever since I was a kid I've loved the ED-209 design. It's just so COOL!

Same here ED-209 is one of the coolest-looking, menacing-looking robots, ever - which is why I'd like to see it get the CGI treatment. But I won't see the remake just to see that (besides, looks like they tried to "improve" on ED anyway).

I like how ED-209 looks like a big bulldog without looking anything like a bulldog.

Speaking of toy cars, does anyone else collect models of cars they actually own? I didn't even know that was a thing until recently. I looked up my Benz out of curiosity, and sure enough, they're out there (usually on Ebay)....but they're not cheap!
My actual car has a black interior, but after months of searching I could not find a black convertible with black interior, and I decided this 1:18 model would have to do.

JB I do not see you as a big South Park fan. Is it a show you like? What is the back story of the cool space gun, it looks old?

Thanks! I thought about painting the interior, but I guess I've been afraid of messing it up.
