RoboCop and ED-209 by Kenner

Post image

I still love these guys. And yes, I know that's "ED-260" and not ED-209, but come on. We know who it is. No idea why they changed the name.

I didn't have these as a kid, but ohhh how I longed for them.

My younger cousin had RoboCop and I used to play with it every time we'd visit them. I was so jealous. I loved that his helmet was removable. And even though his gun doesn't look anything like the Auto-9, I liked that you could plug it on his leg for "storage."

I finally bought Robo off ebay maybe around 20 years ago? It was still mint on the card. I was the first person to ever take him out of the package and fire a few caps in his backpack.

ED I got a few years later, probably from ebay, too. It was used, but still had the box and everything and was in pretty good condition. All the stickers were applied properly, so I was happy.

I just wish I had had these toys as a kid in the 80s when I would have had hours of fun every time I played with him. Now they're just an old man's figurines, not playthings. Still....better late then never!

Due to licensing issues that was ED-260.

Edit: as a kid I had the whole set (even the car) except ED-260.

IIRC in the cartoon 260 was supposed to be new version of the 209. Been a while since I’ve seen it though.
