Sly Stallone Shop 1/6 Rocky IV - Rocky Balboa

[Bluemonday]

I saw these pics were shared on a Collecting Weekly stream. I think the figures they’ve released so far have looked great, so I’m excited to see how this turns out. If they make an Ivan Drago figure as well, that would be an awesome display with those two together. It appears they’re going for 2 separate head sculpts and a seamless body.

Looking good in those pics

The 2nd head looks good. I just hope the boots are fabric. The moulded HT ones force the figure into a standing pose, as there was no poseability in the ankles.

They look laced up, so fingers crossed

That looks dope. Hope the belts included.

Did Rocky have belts in 4?

I remember there was a belt at Apollo’s funeral but I don’t recall Rocky wearing a belt in Russia vs Drago - wasn’t it a non-title match?

That ring corner is the base?

I believe so It’s in addition pics on the Stallone Line thread:

The silicone body looks great, similar to how ‘roided up Stallone was for Rocky 4.

too bad I’d afraid to pose it in some of those action poses they pictured.

Almost wish there was also a second jointed body (at least the elbows) - if angled at just the right way, you can probably hide the joints from plain view relatively well.

Yeah, museum pose only for this guy on the shelf. You could do some quick pics for fun, but you can’t leave these things unattended for too long with the stress it puts on the material. I would prefer a well sculpted/painted jointed body with sculpted swap out arms and the only joints seen are the shoulders and knees, but I think most will probably want what’s in the pictures. It does look fantastic, but you know those arms look weird when bent and the angle is hiding it.

On top of that this company is relatively new. They do not strike me as a company that is investing in advancing the technology in this hobby. Just in it for a piece of the pie. Nothing wrong with that. As a buyer you just need to know that going in and what you expect out of this figure: static pose with a longer shelf life (potentially)? Action poses which increases the chances of deterioration? Or a devil may care attitude?
