Circa 1990, for me, the most memorable piece of animated stop motion robot monster villainy to ever grace the silver screen and the last before CGI took over. Ed209 was great. Robocop2 trumps it. So much character in its movements, unfathomable detail in the miniature... I love me some metal pistons in a robot. Just jaw droppingly awesome in its design and execution in bringing it to life. The 2nd movie as a whole did not work as well as the 1st, but when I think of Robocop2, its just loads and loads of lovely meticulous labour intensive stop motion. The likes of which we will likely never see again.
Hot Toys has a figure in the pipes... Ready 2012/13??? Expect it to be massive and expensive.
I want one with an open head option and a working mini LCD screen that plays video
(Orion, 1990) The Cain puppet was designed and built by Craig Hayes (who designed ED-209) and a team of model makers and armaturists whose credits include Star Wars and The Nightmare before Christmas. It is without a doubt the most complex stop-motion armature ever built for a film. Every single part is functional, highly detailed, and shows an attention to detail bordering on obsession. Cain is
built out of machined steel, aluminum, resin and cast plastic, meticulously hand-painted and detailed.
Measures 15 in. tall x 10 wide x 9 in. deep.
Estimated value at: 30,000.00 - 50,000.00 USD
Sold at 37,500.00 USD on 2010 Dec 18 @ 18:42UTC-8 : PST
