MMS138 – The Expendables: 1/6th scale Barney Ross Collectible Figure

[Voorhees27]

Stallone told HT to make him look younger.


Probably.

Do you really think he gives a damn what some (what he would think) toy looks like?

Ya can't really rule out the possibility. A lot of actors are prima donnas when it comes to their toy likenesses. Either it's the actors themselves or their handlers.

Yeah handlers, for sure but there are definitely some that couldn't be bothered and i'd assume Stallone would be one of them. I just can't see the more mainstream ones caring.

Well, word had it that Bale had to approve of the John Connor sculpt, so some of these guys do care it would seem. I still wonder if Bale had them idealize his nose or if Kojun just didn't get it right.

As far as this sculpt looking young, maybe a tad, but it still looks more like old Sly than young.

We'll go back to 90's era, a bit older, but still a pretty toned face, the figure looks plenty saggy and misshapen for old age to me, even has the wider nostrils.

I'm sure he does. If you read his interview in the last issue of GQ, the author mentions Stallone's office has a large shelf filled with action figures of... himself!

Which means, I'm sure he has a Hot Toys or two.

 

[MaulFan]

If that's so, then he needs to get his ass to Hong Kong, walk into the HT office and deliver his Rambo, I want want speech about a Rambo 4 figure, his shelf is lacking it too

So why wouldn't he want them to make a Rambo IV?

Exactly, surely he would want something more than this on his shelf to represent that movie.

It's pretty good, but HT, especially after seeing Barney, would blow it out of the water.

Well there you go, I did not know that (I also said I "assumed")

 

[Thunderlips]

getting this for sure

Looks like Sly really did have a facelift. You can tell by the arch in his eyebrows.

If you guys remember there was a cola(I think it was cola) commercial back in the '90s featuring Rocky fighting and Mickey in his corner. I went to the Jay Leno show during that time and Sly was the guest. Jay had the figure of Rocky from the commercial and Sly asked if he can have it but Jay refused. I guess he really likes collecting.

Man HT would knock this out of the park....

Botox would do that too.

Dear Hot Toys, Please redefine the Barney Ross's (Stallone) upper body (torso). The protoype's torso looks too fat. The torso should be leaner and more muscular. Just review the movie and stills again.

 

[The Mike]

Dear Hot Toys, don't listen to anything about your masterpiece and hurry the ____ up and release it. Review this message again and again until you get the idea that I want this released yesterday.

I don't see the draw of having him shirtless. He's never shirtless in the movie. He looks way better with a shirt on.
