Rambo III up for pre-order

[Eli26]

Oh geez. I want this figure! I GOTTA STOP WANTING!

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

Very impressive. I'm glad I'm not a bigger Rambo fan or I'd be out another $100.

I hope Rocky looks that good in hand.

Preordered mine. The in hand pics from the Chinese site really pushed me over the edge. Even though the III film was the weakest, Johnny still looks bada$$, and at the end of the day, that's all that matters

That headsculpt is awesome and the paint is rockin' for production paint! If I had the extra $$$ I'd [put myself down for one in a heartbeat!

Wasn't there some talk about the muscle suit being prone to damage or tearing or something? Anyone have info on this?

The rubber body will prolly degrade in the future, but that will happen to every plastic action figure as well.

So will our flesh after we die. As long it lasts for at least 50 years then that's all I care about.

Yes, my Rambos have had cracking under the arms. So far my Rocky has been holding up, even with my dynamic arm poses, but I've only had him about 3 or 4 months. I had Rambo over a year. Could also be the fact that Hot Toys developed, supposedly, an improved muscle body so that could be why as well.

How's the articulation on that Rocky? I've heard it can be kinda fragile in those rubber bodies. Does it feel sturdy?

 

[MaulFan]

I would imagine the muscular bodies are subject to posing and environmental conditions. I've had my Rambo 2 figure for about a year and a half now and no problems with it, and no problems with my First Blood Rambo or Rocky.

As for the Rocky articulation, on mine at least, the boxing gloves are very tight around the muscular arm, and I accidentally broke off the wrist pin rotating the glove a bit, I glued the pin on and the glove is back on fine, but it is a point of caution, other than that, I think it's a fantastic figure, as are all the Stallones, we just need more. John Rambo version next

So the elbow and shoulder joints feel pretty solid, no fear of breakage there?
