Anyone looking for a HT Clubber Street Version (MIB)? I'm just looking to get back what it cost from Toys2.

How much was that?

Looks like Hot Toys is releasing the M60E1 which is the longer version of the shorty M60 with folding bipod as part of their modern firearms collection. This would be the perfect replacement for the shorty that came with First Blood Rambo. I tried to pre-order this from Toy2 but when I went to checkout they added a ridiculous $20 shipping charge to the US so I canceled the transaction.

You can get them for much less on ebay now. Saw one the other day for $99 and no one bid on it.

Thanks bro. It only took me like.... 4 weeks or so...

Hardest thing I think I have ever painted. Damn skin tone was a ***** to match.

DA, how'd you create the sweat stains on the shirt? Did you paint blood from his right arm wound?

For the stain.... I watered down black paint until it was like coffee and soaked that shirt with it. I then added more paint to the mix and kept doing it until I thought I had the desired effect.

And the blood on the arm is there as well, though I do not know if it will stay with tons of touching or anything. Paint doesn't stick to the rubber all that well.

I don't care if Stallone's older and in lesser shape, I can't wait for Rambo 4, I love John Rambo, kickass movies, great figures, some nice quotables.

"In town your the law, out here it's me. Don't push it. Don't push it or I'll give you a war you won't believe. Let it go...let it go."

This just made my day!

I totally agree.... That character was one of the best. I don't care how old he is, he's still got it in my book. I don't mind a character to age, it's life. Some guys just get more badass with age.

Very nice work DA! I'm glad you guys do these things with your figures, it's fun to see, but it's such a permanent choice, if I could afford multiples of these guys I'd deffinately want some battle wear and tear on em, but with the one shot, I'll live vicariously through my fellow freaks. Now, one of the coolest custom jobs if it can be done right, is if someone gives Rambo 3 Rambo his side wound through his abdomen with blood and charring around it, that'd be badass.

I agree 100%. The first Rambo is one of my favorite movies of all time. Thats why I am so excited to finally be getting this figure. Its the best Rambo in the series and I will finally have a Rambo from HT in my collection

The beauty of Rambo is a common trait of Rocky, which is heart. Granted, First Blood was more about putting his foot down and saying enough of the harassment the vets were getting, but Rambo 2 and 3 were very heart motivated; he saught to free the P.O.W.s, he took vengeance for his lost love, he risked all to save his friend and mentor, and fought for the freedom of a nation in which he found kinship and brotherhood. Rambo is a selfless character, that's what makes it great to watch him, he does the right thing and kicks ass all over the place doing it.
