In my case, so long as they don't break, I'm fine with poseable statues. I don't 'play' with toys anymore, not that there's anything wrong with that...I guess?

I saw that they have a line of Robocops movie figures and they look cool. I probably start buying them and see what quality they are.
If new GI Joe figures coming this way, they the will have a great look too!��

I used to shit all over Hiya Toys for their poor quality control...their early Alien figures had soft sculpts, so-so paint, piss-poor articulation (knees and elbow that would bend, like, 10 degrees) and were fragile as hell, with limbs that could easily snap off at the joint.

However, they have seriously raised their game in recent years and pretty much addressed all of their past issues in terms of sculpt, paint, and overall QC. Modern Hiya figures are really good for the most part, especially their Robocop stuff.

That said...GI Joe is a weird fit for Hiya. I guess since Hasbro is moving back to o-rings for the 3.75" figures, they're letting other companies tackle the modern era stuff. But that said, I don't feel that the type of figures that Hiya makes would work well with GI Joe. I guess we'll see!

Dude, I can attest to how good their Robocop stuff is. Their Robocop figures are sturdy, very detailed, and well articulated. Hiya's ED-209 is fucking amazing and is exactly like the NECA version in every way, just shrunken down to 4" scale.

JoyToy is the obvious fit.

If they make figures like that I’m all in. I was able to get that figure when it came out and I’m glad I did.

Edit: of interest here I would think is that they have been hinting at Rambo for bit and have confirmed they have that license. I think everyone’s cons are valid here…but an in scale Joe and Rambo line by the same company…I have to get excited a little bit.

Yeah and early Joy Toy was very similar in my mind to Hiya when it comes to sturdiness for lack of a better term. Joy Toy has gotten much better and the RoboCop line seems to suggest Hiya is as well.

All of this. Anybody that doesn't have some version of the OG Murphy is missing out on a great figure. His friggin' calf pistons work! About the only way they could improve him is to work that opening-thigh holster in and I'm not sure it's really do-able at 18th scale.

That just convinced me to take a look at getting him.
