NECA ROCKY & Apollo Figures

[Snake Plissken]

They never made Rocky 2 figures, just Rocky 1,3, and 4 and then the line ended. However, this year they started a new 40th anniversary line, which includes some new figures and the previously released figures from the original line.

The current series 1 of the 40th anniversary line includes the two Clubber Lang and yellow trunks Rocky from the original line, and a new Rocky with the championship belt from the Rocky 3 movie poster.

Series 2 will be a brand new Apollo Creed from Rocky 4 with removable USA outfit, two Ivan Drago figures, and Rocky in his USA trunks from the previous line. The Rocky figure will come with a USA flag and a battle damaged head sculpt, which the original release didn't include.

Series 1 (Rocky 3) just came out and it's currently available in stores, online, and on the Neca ebay store, and series 2 (Rocky 4) will be out on the Fall...I think.

Oh alright, my mistake. I remember seeing them in FYI and they would just rot on the shelves.

Or someone just took the Rocky belt and placed it on Clubber and closed him back in his box.

Unless Neca say something else, i think that's the case. Easy to swap parts and call it an error to make a huge profit of it.
I swapped parts all the time with the Jakks figures and not hard to glue the box back together and make it look unopened.

Neca said on twitter that it's probably a factory error or a repackaged figure.

Sureeeee it is.

Paint comparison.

 

[jye4ever]

Left Rocky looks like Sadffleck.

Not a fair comparison though. Photo taken with flash on the right, natural lighting on the left. After watching the video review, i think the skin looks to be the same after all. Same translucent skin as before.

They sure picked the right head sculpt for Rocky holding the flag

I was referring to the trunks

Rocky with the flag looks like the Joker.

Oh, yeah those have changed from yellow which is the accurate colour, to gold. Noticed that in the video review too.

Since Rocky IV has the flag, then it is a weird choice of post fight look. I would be fine with just the clean head with some light bruises and swollen eyes. Easy work i can do on my own though.

Well, the trunks are still yellow, but they added a gold metallic paint to make it look more like satin. The original was plain yellow.

The original paint was/is not yellow. They're definitely more of a gold/yellow satin color. The new ones tend to look more pure gold.

The new one photographs really well, so I definitely like the new paint they're using.

So glad I passed on the old ones look how godly that looks.

I just opened up an email from BBTS that's only two hours old telling me that the Rocky IV Series II preorders are up, I go to order the Apollo with the jacket and hat and they're already sold out, I hope this is a one day thing and they except more preorders soon, this is the only figure I want since I have the original releases.

They should be back up for order don't worry but next time they are up definitely order. I ordered all 4 since I knew this one would be popular and definitely a must have for me.
