Got mine and set him up tonight!
Mines in great condition with no faults.
Looks like the others so I haven't taken my usual awful photos.
Some general thoughts:
The brown shipper is oversized and the inner coloured picture box is good quality.
But the foam pieces to secure it in place are so thin that mine were broken and the inner box was rattling around.
That was cringe inducing but thankfully Blitzay use extremely high quality inner foam that holds everything place perfectly.
The figure has been changed to use a thin steel rod rather than the square block/peg pictured in the prototype. He stands correctly and easily so that's good.
The dog is free standing which I don't like at all. Would have preferred any sort of connection to secure him in place. He's amazingly detailed though. Blitzway hasn't skimped on him at all.
The base is much bigger than expected and actually has artificial weeds spouting up through the cracks. Nice touch!
Rocky himself? Just perfect. I honestly can't think of a better statue sculpt right now. The glass eyes (or whatever they are) add so much more life than Sideshows painted on versions.
Blitzways increase in quality paint apps from the Bruce Lee statues to this is crazy.
The steel spikes on the wrist band (and dog collar) really pop.
I still would have preferred the leather jacket version but I never thought I'd get a street version so this'll do
I'm really excited to get mine now, and can't wait to are what Blitzway do next. My dream statue from these guys would be Don Corleone from The Godfather on his chair, with K.A. Kim doing the sculpt.
I want a Muhammad Ali Statue!! Wanted it forever... Nobody else?
Ali would be fantastic. Not that they're necessarily taking suggestions, but I would snap up Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry in a heartbeat.
Yeah Clint would be epic!
I would be interested in an Ali statue, but not sure these guys would attempt another shirtless statue given the Bruce Lee fiasco. Just seems too difficult to blend a polystone body with a PVC head and make it look seamless.
