Re: Official Hot Toys Rambo Line Thread

Some quick pics, I got in my gear to Rambo 2 my Trautman figure, much happier with him in this uniform.

Also, I'll get better pictures, but you can see the M60 I found for Rambo 2 like the one he took off the helicopter, it doesn't have the attachment to mount it to anything, but it's the right gun and I like that figure having it. Might go back to the bow once I've got the PF with the same weapon.

Awesome pics Sean. You know, after seeing them all lined up, I have no doubt that there is huge room for improvements bodywise. I again have high hopes for Rambo/Rocky DX treatment.

Re: Official Hot Toys Rambo Line Thread

That'll be the only downside of a new Rambo, Rambo 3 and M65 make the earlier figures look so so already, a Rambo today would even put those 2 to shame, but at least I'd have a whole lineup of figures. It'll look nice once I get my statue back all repainted and up there.

Re: Official Hot Toys Rambo Line Thread

Love the lineup Maulfan. I have sold all my 1/6 figures except my Rocky and Rambo's they are just too awesome!

Re: Official Hot Toys Rambo Line Thread

Great set of Rambo figures, Sean! I love the M60 on the Rambo 2.. Which boxed set did you get that from?

I'm also trying to find the M16A1 rifle w/ M203 Grenade Launcher that Rambo used in Rambo 3.. It's got some parts with brown/wooden color (i.e. handles, etc.):

This is what I have until I find the right rifle:

Re: Official Hot Toys Rambo Line Thread

I just did an eBay search for "1/6 M60" and searched around until I found the right one because the longer weapon used at the end of First Blood is also an M60. I also hunted down the grenade launcher back when I got my Rambo 3, sometimes it takes lots of eBay searching to find these things though, they're not in abundance but eventually you can strike gold. All the extra weapons I've gotten for my Rambos have been loose ones except the RPG, so I don't know where they come from to help you track them down.

It's not 100% like the one in the movie, but very close.

For info on Rambo weapons, I suggest using this site https://www.imfdb.org/index.php?title=Main_Page

Re: Official Hot Toys Rambo Line Thread

This is a great link!!!! Thanks a lot, Sean!

That AKM you have with an underslung M203 40mm Grenade Launcher is as close as the movie piece can get! Thanks for these valuable tips bro!!! :chew

Re: Official Hot Toys Rambo Line Thread

No problem, needless to say, I like to add gear and find more accurrate stuff for my Rambo figures.

Speaking of that, the kit that suppled my new Trautman gear came with a claymore, so my first thought was, accessory for Rambo 4, if they ever make him, always on the hunt

I wish now I had 2 Rambo 3 figures, I think I'd want one with the tank top and have him with his bag of goodies and all from when he first breaks into the Russian fort.

Live you learn, which is why if they ever do a Rambo 4, or any Rambo, I'm going to ponder the versions I might want and get enough figures while it's at retail.

Re: Official Hot Toys Rambo Line Thread

Did a little more with my Trautman, the uniform was just too tight on the Hot Toys body and he looked to big for Richard Crenna anyway. He's a little smaller in height now but I like his overall look. I had my old Pro body from Raiders INdy just sitting around, and luckily the old Hot Toys foot pegs work with the Pro, so I could use the same boots. So now he's a mix of old TT, new TT and Sideshow Pro body parts to make it happen.

Re: Official Hot Toys Rambo Line Thread

That is a nice Trautman Variant Sean,i do not mind another Trautman in my collection actually,dress him up the way you do,i actually have that very same green jacket i got earlier for a figure i have.


I doubt there will be any Rambo or Rocky this year as HT will stay busy with T1 and T2,Superman,Tron,Michael jackson`s,Clash of the Titans,Avatar and many more that were announced.
I have a feeling we will see a Rambo 4 figure around Rambo 5`s release,not sooner.

 

[MaulFan]

Re: Official Hot Toys Rambo Line Thread

Maybe we'll see it with the Expendables release. Figures too, I'd probably like a figure or two from that movie and HT'll probably never pick it up.

 

[Rock83]

Re: Official Hot Toys Rambo Line Thread

would be really cool if HT made some Expendables figures,me for once would take any Sly figure,but there are alot of Wrestling fans out there that would love a Stone Cold Steve Austin 1/6 figure,heck...with all the huge stars in that movie Expendables would be a really solid figure line.Martial Arts fans would finally get a Jet Li too.

Re: Official Hot Toys Rambo Line Thread

Great dios man.. The last photo looked like it was ripped right out of the movie film cells!

That's a great rendition of Trautman.. His Rambo 3 battle-ready uniform (at the beginning of the film) is also something I have in mind when I finally get a Trautman on hand.

Re: Official Hot Toys Rambo Line Thread

My first haul for 2010.. Hope I can complete this line before the year ends, so I can focus on customizing other Rambo film characters!

Hot Toys First Blood - Colonel Samuel Trautman

Thanks for that ass shot.

Re: Official Hot Toys Rambo Line Thread

Congratulations on the M65 Jacket version, bro Kapital.

Re: Official Hot Toys Rambo Line Thread

I really wish someone out there made M65 jackets, I'd love to get a better one for Rambo, but anytime I search for it, the Rambo figure's the only hit I get.

Yeah it looks kinda baggy but overall it is still a great figure.My very favourite 1/6 figure in my collection based on what it represent.

Re: Official Hot Toys Rambo Line Thread

It's a fine figure for sure, but if someone ever made an M65 jacket with a darker, more green tone, tigheter fitt and an almost button down shirt thickness like the actual coat in the film had, I'd still jump on getting it to update the figure. I enjoy getting extra items or more accurrate ones for these figures, like the update M60 for my First Blood figure.
