Stallone line - First Blood Rambo released

[karamazov80]

Demolition Man always felt like Wesley auditioning for a 90's Batman villain role.

Best thing about that movie is the theme song. . .that was written probably 10 years before the movie came out.

The Police.

The Police.

I think Grace Jones recorded it first, but it was a Sting song. Police are probably my favorite band, and that's my least favorite album of theirs, but still better than 95% of '80s pop/rock albums.

Ghost in the Machine is your least favorite?

I like Reggatta de Blanc myself.

Yeah, I love all the others, particularly Outlandos and Synchronicity. Ghost in the Machine I enjoy a lot, but. . .don't love as a whole. Not counting the Strontium 90 album, which would be the worst if it were included, or their live double album, which is probably my favorite of the whole bunch.

Now that's a figure i would actually get, especially since it comes with Butkus. Hopefully the Rocky sculpt doesn't look like a cartoon that's been pepper sprayed.

Looks good...

 

[Wor-Gar]

Sly is a licensing monster...

 

[Collector57]

That Rocky II figure has a number of issues, most notably with his hair. Sly did not pick up that kind of style until Rocky III.

 

[Johnny Utah]

They keep making these Rocky figures but good companies aren't making the right one, in the right scale. My ideal Rocko would be Rocky 3 in the yellow trunks.

Hopefully Nicky ironed out kinks from FB Rambo to make Rocky a bit presentable.

 

[Raymond F.]

In my opinion the only rocky that’s is not even arguable; that if you were to make one rocky and one rocky alone it had to be rocky from the first film in his boxing gear. That’s it,

Secondly it would probably be his training gear gray jump suit from the first film as it’s the most iconic scene in the film with the steps.

Then and only then can you muck around with rocky 2,3 and so on and so forth

I think the reason why we’ve not seen any official or third party companies make this is because no one can figure out how to make an articulated bare body that doesn’t look like ****

Hope we're getting close to the actual release of this Rambo figure. I'm ready!

I may not be proud of this, but I will be honest with y'all: I caved. Ultimately, my love of the character/films overrode my immense dislike of Agent Nicky.

I'll likely grab COBRA as well, as I absolutely adore the vibe of the film and the bygone era of movies it represents.

I feel shame.
I'll go sit in the corner.

I might try and pick up the sculpt loose if it's any good and plonk it on the old HT Rambo.

Get what you love bro. It's what the hobby is all about.

No way! Just enjoy YOUR figures, forget the agent and share pics when you got them!

Consider it done!!!

(Especially the "...forget the agent"-part )

As much as all the hoopla with Dick and the underwhelming paint and sculpt have bothered me I've been tempted to purchase. I've held strong so far. I have the original HT version and I'm pleased with the overall look of that figure. I think I just need the sculpt. Just not sure this is the one I need.
