Hiya's Rambo figures can be amazing! It's been a while since I expanded the 1:18 collection, so this would be a good time to do so. I've passed up his Predators, Aliens and Robocops, because I already have a lot of NECA ones and sometimes you have to select priorities, but I won't pass up the...

Yeah, actually I was thinking the exact same thing. In this figure the suit is fundamental. In the prototype photos the fit of the pants looks great, but in the figure pictured with all the accessories it looks slightly different (especially at the bottom near the shoes). Anyway I doubt that...

Right, I think I'll do the same, thanks!

Have you already preordered it or are you waiting for in hand pics? I've searched for more info but I only find the same prototype photos, not one more update...

Interesting approach. Sociological changes that have possibly come from the hand of an increasingly overprotective education. I think a few days ago they have banned the reading of the comic Maus in a school because it includes a couple of swear words and a nude. General trend seems to be...

It would be a similar amount, right?

It is clear that today it would be impossible to propose a children's/youth animation series like this. I've seen documentaries in which even then it was surprising that a character like Rambo ended up being a sales phenomenon in products aimed at the little ones (lunch boxes, toys, etc.).

Agree! And Las Vegas option would allow us to share photos on Instagram that would rival those of the agent in sophistication and bottles of alcohol...

In the absence of great news about these figures, I've developed a formula to calculate the approximate final amount of the purchase in a country that I know from the EU (taking into account that the SSS has not implemented the IOSS system): [{(Price of the figure: €227.20 + Standard...

I just discovered this figure, and it looks pretty good! I'm going to join in waiting for news on this, although it seems that there has been no news in quite some time...

I remember that at a time when I was really into GI Joe, there was a certain consensus that Spirit Iron-Knife was the basic figure to make a Rambo custom on the scale, although its most obvious resemblance is with Billy from Predator...

Yeah, that was very disappointing. It's a detail that they were able to take care of easily, even more so considering that when they want they pay a lot of attention to the details in their figures. I think they didn't take care of this Rambo line enough.

I do more or less the same thing, rotating my fields of interest over time (for some time now I've paid special attention to the military again, with several brands launching good pieces), and also adding other scales with regard to collecting figures (I think almost all scales up to 1/6, in...

Those Rambo figures from NECA were the first ones that seriously introduced me to figure collecting. I have all the ones that were released in the series, but the last movements with the character were erratic. The first version of Rambo-FB2 came without the bow, which they later decided to add...

THIS has its value. I know that there are collectors with a lot of knowledge of the hobby, but I know what I am referring to with the term sensei. It has a lot to do with learning not to take "the path of least resistance". I've seen reflections of yours in a store group that could go directly...

Please don't worry, sarcasm radar working fine here! :LOL: I hope you don't mind, but I see you more as a kind of sensei with enough wisdom to transmit to whoever wants to apprehend it. Lately I'm living collecting 1/6 with some disappointment. Release after release the prototypes decline more...

I'm aware that they are receiving many requests to make the figures available both in Europe and in the Asian market. Now everything depends on them seeing business in opening these markets and satisfying collectors from all over the world, but my faith in this has been weakening as this thread...

All my respect for your work (you definitely deserve more admiration than the "organ-grinder monkeys"), and all my respect and understanding for this rule. It is clear that there are years of experience (and bad experiences) behind this philosophy.

Wow, you seem to know some interesting stories! Did he treat you badly when you worked for him? It's amazing how some people can behave when they are deified...

Right, I had forgotten that. The summary you've posted is great to remember the details, because this has been (and it seems that it will be) a long road.
