Stallone line - First Blood Rambo released

[shells075]

Am I the only one who likes this figure here? It looks amazing.

Gotta say the toxicity here is disappointing. It's a harmless toy. No need to be childish and attack people for it.

Your entitled to your opinion, just like we all are.

If only people had respected the opinion of others here.

I like the figure for the wrong reasons, its been entertaining watching the mess unfold. Some I know are bored, getting there myself.
As for childish yes it is, but it is a toy or collectable figure, if you want to get artsy fartsy.
I will say all the bad mouthing i've done part of me wants the figure
If this is/was the intention causing controversy it has worked and well done to Nick for provoking every collecter.
Not gunba buy it but if they want an honest review they can send me a sample

I dont think this figure looks bad, Im not a total fan of the sculpt. Considering the amazingness that Dino is capable of (if he even sculpted this), it just looks soft and a little odd. That being said, I dont think these two individuals deserve the hate they are getting.

That being said, Dean and Justin, who no doubt are reading this thread, grow some thick skin. The internet is not real life and you shouldnt be taking such imaginary harsh criticism to heart. Its the ******* Internet for god sakes.

Wait so him having an opinion is just an opinion but everyone else disagreeing with his opinion is trolling?

Makes perfect sense.

10/10 guys look at those amazingly details hair strands and paint work! Truly a masterpiece!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yes nick body scanned sly recently

I don't believe that for a second.


Unless Nick means it figuratively -- like, he was checking Sly's body out.

Arnie is supposedly 6'2'' or he was in his prime. Sly is 5' 9½" Although some doubt he is that tall.

I know he's not, I've stood next to him. Still, Rambo is not supposed to be a really tall figure like the Terminator.

If eventually this gets a price reduction I’ll probably get it. With all the criticism I don’t think it’s going to be fast to sell out so maybe it’ll at least be eligible for discounts eventually. I think I’d be good with it between $220-$230.

Watched deans vid and watched justins review.
Firstly dean what a crybaby jesus.
Its all good when people agree with him but have your own opinion and you are a troll.

If that is disrespectful than maybe nick shouldnt be breaking off disrespect to the people he wants to sell to either.
And if you give figures to 5year olds like nick does, then by all means they shouldn't have metal knives but this is an Adult collectable.
Plus lets ban all knives or small sharp objects that may cause damage then.
Hey lets give rambo flowers while were at it.
That is total bs they cheaped out on the knife and made a bad plastic one.
Neither showed it in his hand.
Look at what's shown proto and what they made
Plus dean didnt address the sculpt being wrong just the paint apps around the eyes. So the company vasucalky are trying to do damage limitation but wont or cant at this point retool and do another sculpt.
Wish they would so I can buy it.
It is what it is and can only see the mass produced ones being worse.
Also saying people wanted this to fail is not entirely true.
Yes some did, me not being one.
I didnt preorder this or the threezero as both have issues imo.
Held off on the rambo 3 from threezero until they did a second run and fixed the horrible proto sculpt.
If this company KP and Slyshop learn by others then they gotta take the critics opinions as they are the ones who will buy or not.
Trying to be manipulative or gain sympathy is just pathetic, you make or try to sell something people are gunna tell you if it aint right.
The customer is always right.
If you choose to ignore that or try and trick people you will be exposed.
Justin is a coward sat back let dean take the heat and then did his review as usual but adding its honest opinion blah blah.
It did look better in justins vid only because it is always spinning and lit better.
Compared to the arnie dx10 it looks massive.
Yes nick body scanned sly recently but hes not that big in 1981/82 when first blood was filmed in my eyes anyway.
This is all opinion if people want to get the figure then they will no matter what.

Deano Americano is a cry baby indeed, he is blocking anyone on OSR who gives him a crying emoji or comments in the negative on his posts regarding this figure

Let's tow the company line and if you don't agree and say the figure isn't good you are a troll, toxic or attention seeking! I've heard it all before

All famous people make out that they are taller than they are , Mike Tyson was listed as 5ft 11in on many websites. I've stood next to him ,I'm 5ft 11in and he is shorter than me . I think Nick is a pip squeak of a person so Stallone would probably be a giant in comparison or maybe sly is wearing cuban heels like Tom ( we are Aliens) Cruise

 

[Rotfish]

They probably weren't interested in maintaining scale with any other particular figures.

Or Sly just didn't want his figure to be shor-- er, accurately scaled.

That's what's so weird about this, the digital sculpts were anything but soft. Look at the hair on this render versus the final product. What happened? Did something change in development or were their factories not able to reproduce this level of detail?

 

[shells075]

I would like a new Trautman fig. That was one of the first HT MMS figs they made.

Still looks fairly decent, even by todays standards.
A Teasle fig would be good to, FB is basically Rambo vs Teasle for much of the film.

Dean and Justin bought it on themselves. it is a alright figure, the body, outfit and the walking pose is decent. It's just the head sculpt thats not very good. The way those two went on about how good it was and awarded it 10 out of 10 and both seemed to be reading from the same script was the issue.

I used to watch both these guys for reviews because they always got figures before anybody else, especially Justin. I like Deans horror collection and how he poses his figures. Probably the conditions of getting the figure was a glowing review and a pre prepared script to read from. Suppose its ok if you have a small youtube channel but Justin has 500-000 subscribers. He slaughtered the new Star Ace Homelander figure which I probably would have bought blind if it wasn't for his review, so if you're reading Justin we like your reviews but keep them honest mate. Dean, if you're reading stick to horror figures and the poses, it's quite unique and enjoyable.

Yes and he is also deleted many of the comments from the unboxing vid on you tube that even have a whiff of negativity.
Some are from people that have supported him a long time and would have thought he valued their opinions as "friends".
No friends when it comes to buisness it seems.

I'd have to agree that Nick wants all negativity supressed and it is a condition of getting more figures exclusively to review.
Justin we know is a fake and shill.
Guy popped up 5 years ago and now has over 500,000 subs I say thats alot of fake subs hes bought as the numbers just dont add up.
Hes been buying subs steadily but the views dont match those numbers, its common practice these days.
Hes always pushed toys wonderlands overpriced products that sometimes they dont even have in stock but still charge for and provide fake tracking numbers. Just ask tess jess 1 and others who've been fleeced.
So we know we can trust this guy to be honest. And to say people trolling is disheartening, well I doubt it.
More like frustrating that its ruining his image he wants to project and future deals. Guy is a fake and theres a few others on the horizon I have my eye on
As for dean removing comments that will only work for so long as I take screenshots and can upload some of the best ones for posterity.
This maybe the only place that is not being censored yet anyway

 

[BurningRage]

I would have never thought that someone who monetizes their opinion would have a huge ego

 

[Johnny Utah]

If I had a channel my reviews would point everything out positive and negative.

I would compare the figure to stills and screenshots, tag the creators and point it out when they clearly gave a **** and when they didn't bother.

 

[Wick]

I like it so far

 

[C-Brock]

"...But he's supposed to be sad!"
Rambo is haunted by his past but he is not some sad sack mope that spends his days crying. The swollen/puffy eyes on this sculpt would lead you to believe this, if you knew nothing about the character. The effect is made more glaring by eyes that already look slightly oversized to me. The eyebrows also look off. The figure's build is not quite Stallone in this period, when he had a leaner physique, but the clothes look tailored well enough to the body used. I do like the boots but pleather can be a nightmare, even when you never touch it. Perhaps the lighting in Dean's video made this jump out more than it would in hand, but it was a goofy decision to give Rambo manicured fingernails. He's been wearing the same clothes for God knows how long and doesn't have regular opportunities to address other aspects of his personal hygiene but he still manages to keep his nails immaculate? C'mon.

So where's DFC? I thought he'd be having a field day with this release...

I've been following the thread (it was funnier before the figure was actually released...) and watched the reviews, and while not a bad figure, it's certainly not a 10/10. It looks about on par with most of KP's releases, which are not bad, except for not-up-to-latest-standards paint apps and likeness.
I think the whole outfit and accessories look pretty cool (except for the knife, that is). As some have already stated, there was just too much hyperbole and over-the-top claims leading up to the release, and that just guarantees an equally vocal response once reality fails to meet expectations.

I think if I were a Rambo fan I would get this figure after the reviews. It may not be perfect, but it's a fine rendition of the character.

If you are referring to Chung, he passed away recently. I don't know the details.
