Compare your Rocky IV neck to this one, they're both identical, this figure looks phenominal. Yulli's just amazing!

Wait a minute. How come he's got black trunks on here? Extra pair? Custom? Inside out?
Ya, the head on Rocky IV makes it less pronounced, but it is a little off-looking. the Rambo/Aliens muscular body has been the best overall I think, good necks and all and so far the Dutch body looks solid too.

I assume its just a custom,the boots are Clubbers,the trunks im not sure,they are not Clubbers thats for sure.
I'm getting this but yeah, i'd bet $ Street or Rocky 1 is a given at some point.
(i hope)
Im pretty sure this is the last Rocky figure we`re getting,the first 4 wasnt a good seller,the Rocky Iv was good,but the rest was not so popular,Apollo and Drago is still available everywhere.They gave us another round of Rocky himself because they know thats the only thing that will sell good.
So its hard to say what happens next,i was hoping to see Rocky 1 post fight,Apollo 1 with George Washington entrance gear with Uncle Sam gear underneath,Rocky IV outdoor Training,Rocky Balboa(VI),Rocky Street gear,and an Adrian from Rocky 1 wouldnt be so bad either.
I dunno i think i disagree a bit. The first rocky figure they put out sold WELL for a long time. I remember it was even sold out at even the most thought out places to get it. Although some did resurface later on. I agree i think creed and drago were bombs as far as selling goes, while lang sold very steadily.
What i think they need to do is put out the remaining Rocky figures(Rocky 1/STREET and maybe a rocky 2 fig, but for sure a ROCKY BALBOA fig would be nice as well)
I think since they got most of his big name opponents out of the way they can totally focus on the remaining just Rocky figs.(and maybe a Mickey or something ETC.) Cause you know, A rocky 1 fig/street would be a high seller.( i know some that are personally waiting for that alone, HT is smart enough to know this)

You'd think with 6 "Rocky" released figures we'd have a Street Rocco by now, I REALLY hope so too! I have to have this version of Rocky, Rocky I was/is my favorite of the 6 films, no Rocky street? No point in calling it a day yet.
Thats why i believe HT is smart enough to know this. Rocky 1/street is THE figure of this series to have. (I bet we see it)
I'm with Rock, not sure how much momentum is left in this line. I'd love to see it continue, big Rocky/Stallone fan, but part of me had a feeling when this figure was announced, bascially Hot Toys was deciding to take another crack at Rocky since signing on Yulli's talent, but I can't get a vibe on whether they feel it's worth pouring money into more. My hope is a ROCKY BALBOA version will at least be possible if they make a body for RAMBO, they can recycle it and will likely do that, get at least 2 figures from the body. Time will tell, but with this line, I'm at a "enjoy the releases as they come" stage, no longer "what'll be next" mindset.
I take it as it comes as well. I'd love a few more characters, if it happens great if not, too bad.
(but i think we will)
But one thing is certain, i NEVER thought I'd own a great representation of an Eye of the tiger rocky 3 figure
. That just blows the mind all on it's own!

Technically you don't though, you're going to own I'm about to get my ass handed to me Rocky lol. I'd love to see them do American Flag shorts Rocky 3 with that I'm going to kill you look in his eyes, that was so cool when he came out with that intensity on his face, "c'mon champ, you ain't so bad!" I have to say, my favorite Rocky taunt is probably Rocky Balboa towards the end of the fight when he shoves Dixon accross the ring and waves him arms all "c'mon, c'mon" and then beats the snot out of him, best fight in the whole series, as far as the fighting part, as for drama and all, you'll never top Creed.
It's still a rocky the eye of the tiger fig IMO. You gotta through those things to get the hunger back. But it's also nice that he's also the rocky that gets cocky and complacent and drilled.
All in all a strange choice that i thought would never happen by HT, but a welcome out of left field one.

Could be a good charity Rocky too if anyone ever makes a good 12" Hulk Hogan. "How much do you think he eats?" "About 202 lbs." "Weighing in at 202 lbs, the slugger from Philadelphia..."

Yup! You'll never top the suspense in that last moment the two of them are trying to reach the top of the ropes. An excellent display of true drama, excellent fight all together! My favorite has to be his first fight in part I, the night before when he's laying next to Adrian talking about wanting to go the distance with the champ and not being remembered as just another bum from the neighborhood.
Part I is and will always be one of my favorite films ever, now, Hot Toys listen to me and make a whole whack of em including Paulie and Mick!
"Yo Mick"
I think 1 and 6 are the best, the stories of a guy just trying to prove to himself I am good enough and I am still good enough, not caring about winning or losing, just wanting to know inside himself that he's something, very relatable stories and all. 2 was also pretty good, then 3-5 were just about cool fighting really, 5 tried to do with story what 6 did, but it just wasn't there, it's a good stepping stone from the action back to story though.
