That is why these are called "Model Kits" and should be considered as such. The pieces are fragile and delicate like model parts. Do yourself a favor and buy some Loctite. It is a collectors' best friend and everyone should get to know this. You can buy it almost anywhere. Will fix almost anything. These aren't toys, they are model kits and should be assembled with care. Inevitably something WILL break but it doesn't mean you are out a total loss. 98% of the time it is repairable and no one will ever notice that it had been damaged except you and you just have to get that out of your head if expect pristine top-notch quality. You will drive yourself mad if you believe you can have absolute perfection. You can try but to obsess over it is a sickness.

GEAUX SAINTS!
Here's a few pictures of my Rambo II "red headband" (what I like to call him!) Rambo figure with a new RPG7 rocket launcher! I wished Hot Toys had included it with him. They should have. But I was able to find a new loose one on eBay from the 21st Century Toys Russian RPG set. Check out my pictures:
Here's two more pictures of Rambo holding his knife I just wanted to throw in...

My Hot Toys Rocky figures so far,the Drago figure will arrive me within a week from now.
Is it just me or do you have 2 Rockys there? Nice setup!
No its just you
Remember my problem i had with 1 Rambo and 1 Rocky fig earlier?Cracks in the rubber body,the one on front there is new,came along with the Clubber today,the one in the back is the first one i got,i display it robed with taped hands,it has a huge crack on his forearm,thats why i came up with the idea of displaying it with the flag so it covers the arm,it doesnt look good,looks like someone cut him open,hehe.
But now it has the robe on so its not a big problem,since i got a new and can display it proudly.

Ah I see! Man, i'd be PISSED if my figures ever rip open, that sucks! The Clubber looks really cool the way you have him displayed! Lets get a pic of the Rambo's now!

Pics coming in a sec...
Thanks for the feedback,i like how Rocky looks with the robe and taped hands,a "Preparing" Rocky IV fig,we see that in Rocky IV when Duke tapes his hands while the 2 Russian Soldiers looks through the door window.
The 2 versions of Rambo First Blood Part 1 is expected in october,and i will have a complete Rambo collection.
I only need Drago now,and this collection looks complete for my interest,dont need Street Clubber.

Awesome pics 83' I vowed before that I want an army of Rambo HT figures. I should have 6 by the time the new First Blood comes out in October. I can't wait for that one, talk about an amazing head sculpt!
Easy to get them if you have the money
Im hunting for Vietnam Soldier accessories,will make a Rambo Vietnam custom,its hard to find a complete set of the accessories needed.

Ya but the Bazooka is kick ass! I really can't complain about the accessories that come with the Rambo's. I think it was kinda dumb releasing the same bow twice, even though its not exactly the same we should have had some other weapons instead.
I was dissapointed that we got the Dragunov with Rambo 3,i wanted the Gunner with the Grenade launcher used in the end of the movie(with the whole USSR army in front of him and Trautman).Other than that the Accessories is good,wasnt expensive to get the RPG set either,cheap off ebay.
I have 1 problem though,not sure which head i should use for the Vietnam custom,the extra one added to the Halo Jumper(That you used on your custom),or the Head on the upcoming Rambo First blood 1.

Yes the newer First Blood figure forsure, just look out to see if someone puts one loose on Ebay. All you need to do for a Earlier Vietnam custom is paint a handle bar mustash on the sculpt.
Did you ever see the the "Flashback" scene they cut out in First Blood?
Yes in First blood there is 2 Flashbacks where you see his pants,typical wood camo pants,but those are not the ones i will choose,most vietnam Soldiers wore regular green clothes,and the tiger stripes.
Im not an expert on clothing during Historical Wars,but i thought the Wood camo was made years after the Vietnam war,i may be wrong though.

I think I may redo my custom to the begginning of part II when he is either a.) Working in prison or b.) when he shows up prior to the Halo scene wearing a red shirt and blue jeans.
Easy custom,just remove the Jacket on the upcoming Figure,i mean in Part 2 when he arrive Vietnam.Doesnt he have the same Shirt,jeans and shoes as in Part 1?except the Jacket though.

Jeans yes but in part one (First Blood) he is wearing a Red Sweater and in part II he is wearing a long sleeve Red T-Shirt.
oh,ok,i dont notice such things,all i know is that it is red.You do this custom and i will make a Vietnam Rambo when i get the New Rambo with jacket,need to check the Head before i decide which head to use,a deal?
