Hot Toys 12" Apollo Creed & Ivan Drago

[Cocoboloboy]

Yeah, I'll get some pics up of Trautman and Rambo on the display stand when he gets here,Nash. I'm still looking for a First Blood II Rambo.Dang they're expensive.

I almost bought two CKs so that I can have one in a trenchcoat the other with him showing the S and then Supes, all in a row...I still might.

DL Dave, you don't like Clubber that much, huh? Well I've got faith HT can pull off a decent Apollo. They just hafto, I've already ordered one!

My Rocky arrived this morning.

WOW!

Pictures just do NOT do this thing justice. It is indeed a Movie Masterpiece.

I'm definitely getting Clubber in the next couple of weeks.

Are the other Hot Toys figures this good?

Amazed! Simply Amazed!

No Buffy? No X-Files? No Horror? No Bond? - NO PROBLEM!!!!

Congratulations, you have just graduated from Sideshow to Hot Toys and the difference is like going from the minor leagues to the majors. Just wait until you have a Predator in hand. Greatest 1:6 figures ever made.

Ivan and creed not too much longer what are they july now?

 

[galactiboy]

So any chance we'll ever see a Thunderlips figure? I think that would just kick so much ass

 

[Seth Gecko]

It's gonna happen!!!(but we need a street rocky first)

 

[galactiboy]

I hope so, I imagine thats the only way we'll ever see a kickass 1/6 version of Hogan!

Amen to that. Being able to have figures like these is what collecting is all about. The US Colonial Marines, Predators, and Terminator figures alone are like a dream come true for so many of us.

I think it's so cool that these are 85$ now(they're sooo worth it)Gonna grab more now ivan for sure and creed.

 

[Mudshark]

I wish Creed looked more like Carl Weathers, but maybe the final product will look better than the proto pics. I definitely want Drago, tho. I have plans to convert him into any number of other characters, but the sniper from Silent Trigger is one of my favorites. Now, if I could just find a female figure that looked like Gina Bellman I'd be all set...

That's one of the many cool things sbout HT is that their production product is usually better looking than the prototype. Rambo and Rocky are both good examples of this. Apollo should be the same.

Yeah, I hope that's true, 'cause I really want Apollo, too. The Rocky collection just wouldn't be complete without him.

 

[MaulFan]

Guys, I hate to cause you worry, but Apollo looking like Carl Weathers is not likely going to change in production. It was discussed somewhere a while back, that for the JAKKS figures, Weathers put up a stink about his likeness on the first round of Apollos, and I own the first and it looks just like him, so they changed the face sculpt a bit and it's close, but it looks like a generic face more now, so if he puts up a fuss with all companies, Hot Toys may not be able to even do an Aliens scenario where the underlying sculpt is right, but the marketed figure looks fargone from the actor. It'd be nice if he looks like weathers and just needs a touch up on paint, but just be prepared they may not be able to clear the hurdle.

 

[Seth Gecko]

Yeah weathers turned out to be kinda a dick didn't he?Hopefully they find a loophole or just don't care and do it justice anyway.

 

[PosterBoyKelly]

He just doesn't want Happy Gilmore customs getting out there.

Well, I'm sure they'd love to say "**** it" let's make him anyway, but I have a feeling his lawsuit would cost them more than they'd make on the figure.
