DID SS PANZER-DIVISION TOTENKOPF

I got this DID figure mainly because he resembles the German officer in the film Schindler's List. The film won several awards and was directed by Steven Spielberg. The film featured the true to life story of Oskar Schindler and how he saved the lives of so many Jews that were under the Nazi's concentration camps. This figure represents one of the Nazi Commandant that abused and killed Jews under his supervision.

Box of the figure with actual photo.

Figure out of the box.
Nice detail on the uniform especially the boots.

Closer look of the head sculpt resembling actor Ralf Fiennes.
Ralf Fiennes played the role of Amon Goeth in the movie Schindler's List.

A better look at his decorations and side arm.

Among his accessories was a whip.

He also came with a leather trench coat.
I tried to fit the coat to the figure but had some difficulties, so I'll just show it to you for now.

For his weapon he had this sniper rifle.

He also came with a pair of hands with black gloves.
A nice addition to the figure is his cigarette.


After the war Amon Goeth was caught and was tried as a war criminal.
He was sentenced to death by hanging.

OCP's goal is to come up with a robotic police to stop the ever growing crime rate. Murphy was chosen and fitted with a robotic body became known as Robocop.


Figma Robocop out of the box.

Figma Robocop has excellent articulation and is a well balanced figure.
The figure came with four pairs of extra hands, a figma bag for its accessories, a basic figure stand, his trusty hand gun, a firing effect for his gun, an extra battle damaged helmet and an alternate right thigh as his holster.

In the movie Robocop keeps his gun in his right thigh.
For this, the figure came with changeable parts to represent his holster.

While memory sticks are the current way to upload and download information.
Robocop uses a spike from his arm as a similar tool.

The M93R-AG with long compensator or Auto 9 is Robocop's weapon of choice.
A nice weapon with a futuristic look. It fires 9mm rounds carried in a 21-round box mag.
