One review is up on Youtube for the regular version of Rocky, i think i'll be getting battle-worn Apollo and Rocky.

Uggh...criminy. I seriously think a ton of videos on YouTube have to be some sort of weird performance art, daring you to keep watching them. Combine a subject that's titillating with total awkwardness and ineptness behind the camera and see what wins out!

Why do I want to watch the ENTIRE trailer before the review? You know video editors can...edit video? Truly amazing what computers can do these days. You don't have to leave a dull, empty minute with you fumbling on the shelf in the middle of the video. You're allowed to ya know, plan videos before hand. This isn't live theater where you have to go on stage as soon as the UPS guy dropped off the package.

Apollo Creed and Rocky damaged are very faithful to the similarity, but

Rocky not damaged I do not really like how it was developed.

Look at this picture, the similarity with Stallone is very far, looks like my cousin Andrea





The NECA sometimes loses a few blows of quality (when my cousin will look at this photo will be happy )

Gotta say after watching that YouTube review I like the pre fight Rocky alot more.

Apollo Creed and Rocky version damaged of neca are very faithful to the their similarity to film Rocky 1, but...

Rocky not damaged version clean I do not really like how it was developed.

Look at this picture, the similarity with face sylvester stallone is very far, looks like my cousin Andrea





The NECA sometimes loses a few blows of quality (when my cousin will look at this photo will be happy because the face looks exactly like his)

Doing a search through Toys2 and they still have some HT Rocky figs from back in the day.

Still have them yes, but even though it's a retailer, they're selling them like an eBayer who knows they're old and rare, 3-4 times original price. I'd be more amazed if someone had them in stock and still selling them for original retail price.

V27! classic response buddy

I think Rambo needs to do a recomp mission for JRSly, and other forum members who have lost there minds

 

[JRSly]

I apologize if hearing someone smack their lips after every sentence and ramble while not keeping the subject of their video in focus is considered high art. I know it's hard to find gems on the internet in general and certainly YouTube, but I still resist just resigning myself to be of the mindset of 'you put forth the bare minimum of effort and delivered a lackluster product, but you..did something..so yaaaay!' I take pride in my work and respect when people actually try. Know what I mean?

But I can't really be shocked. This is a generation where a large group of the population gets a thrill from typing "FIRST!" in the comments section, and this guy was clearly more interested in being the first guy to have a Rocky video review than putting together anything good. I mean, to repeat the first sentence...it wasn't even in focus half the time. Everyone else is fine just giving that a pass and no one should criticize him?

But sorry to derail things, I guess I've 'lost my mind' and won't belabor the point anymore.

Any sightings in TRU among members here? Randy mentioned on Twitter that they were seen in New Jersey.

Got pre fight Rocky today, think his a great figure. Tried to post some pics up but can't work out how to from my phone.

Couple of things about the figure, out of the box he doesn't look overweight like he does in packaging, facially I think he looks alot more like Rocky from the side.
Leg articulation isn't great but quite good considering the shorts.
Torso can only really move back and forth and would be nice if they had swivel waists.

Similar in size to Mattels WWE figures, a Rocky lll figure would go great with a custom Thunderlips

I knew they were marked up but wasn't sure if they were a better or worse price than you'd find on ebay. As to his being a retailer but marking them up as though he were selling on ebay - I dunno, what difference does it really make. At least with him you can be more sure hes trustworthy.

 

[snoop101]

They're not worth those prices anyway, they're outdated imo. I hope Enterbay Is planning to make not just one, but a few Rocky figures.

 

[a-dev]

Well I personally would agree with that^

 

[Rtec1]

Know it's abit early but have we heard when Wave 2 will be out?
I see toywiz have them down as August but that seems a long wait

 

[Johnny Utah]

Randy said April or May.

 

[ditch]

I had these figures in on Monday selling very well but sucks that you only get 1 fight damaged Apollo in a case but 2 Rocky fight damaged.
But i have to agree the Apollo is superb but not impressed at all by the Rocky figure.

Where are you guys finding the first wave at retail? Who's carrying these and what's the retail price? Thanks for any help!

Well, I just meant that I look at Toys2 as more a retail shop than like little comic book shop that prices like eBay sellers, they deal in larger numbers and offer the same price to everyone, until they have a small stock and it's long sold out in most places. I would feel very safe ordering from them over an eBayer. I was just really getting at how it would shock me if you saw them still around at retail price somewhere.

Yeah I looked at retail: LCS, TRU, FYE and found nothing. I'm not sure where everybody on here is getting them so I went to ebay and bought a couple.
