NECA ROCKY & Apollo Figures

[Rocky1976]

Approval of what? Most of the wave are reissues.

Except for the new Apollo what approval issues? I had know idea a licencor would have concerned for packaging on a line that they already approved to Neca years ago? I can't believe the hold up is for packaging issues.

Rocky 40th anniversary.....yo , Sly , you did it !

Anyone hear any new updates on when the new series is going to be released?

Twitter chat seems like there's issues with packaging approval, who knows.

Apparently that was resolved in the past week. The Rocky 4 figures should be getting a move on now.

Series 2 shipping soon holy moly I'm ready!

Not seeing much of a Carl Weathers likeness there. Will probably skip him and just get Rocky and non battle damaged Drago.

They really should've included both non and BD headsculpts per figure with these. I can't justify paying an extra $25 just for different colored shorts and a bloody head.

That looks awesome, I would love for Neca to release an all new Apollo with top hat from the original 1976 Rocky.

Anyone know what figures Neca is going to release for series III? I hope they do Rocky II and don't give us a bunch of re-releases from 1976 Rocky.

Rocky in his training gear and black jacket and hat are just as iconic as any in ring version of Rocky.

Hnnnnng Apollo looks good.

Anyone check their local Go! Games & Toys locations? I was able to get gold trunks Rocky for $11 since the whole store was 50% off.

So no figure news, just these random things I don't know who'd really want.

It seems a lot of people wanted this, because it sold out within a couple of hours of going on sale at BBTS. It's priced at $180.00 and it's made from the original puppets from the claymation Lipton ice tea commercial from 1998. Neca bought the originals from Stallone which were in very poor condition and decided to restore them and turn them into a collectible for the fans.

You can already buy? Where? Neca on the site do not see them.

I'm sure BBTS will have more in stock. I see Clarktoys.com has them for preorder at $199.99 I never bought anything from them, anybody ever buy from them? You get definitely pick these up on ebay or directly from Neca, it's still very early, so if you want it you still have time.

On the BBTS description these puppets are huge Rocky is 12 inch and Mickey is 10 inch. It didn't say what it's made of, anyone have any idea?

Maulfan how come with all the 1/4 figures that Neca does for Batman and Superman that they haven't done anything 1/4 for Rocky or Rambo?
