Stallone line - First Blood Rambo released

[ebor]

Hot Toys M65 Rambo was my 1st figure in my 1:6 collection. I will NEVER sell it. Will I seek to upgrade?...sure...3zero's offering looks very good. I have their Rambo III figure and it's amazing!

Will I buy sly-shop version?

Not on your life.

The accessories are meager. The sculpt is off. Dean Knight, I don't want to put the figure on a couch and psychoanalyze the expression. I wish it had more life to it. Does Sly have the most up-to-date eyeglass prescription? I am disappointed he approved this.

Sadly, looks a little like my friend's Aunt Sally....#cannotunsee

You know, when someone promotes and promotes that "next level" of 1/6th collecting, you start to expect what InArt is doing... not the above.

I come away looking at the latest InArt offering -- Pennywise -- and then come in here to see... the above. I feel like a time machine just took me back to 2013 3rd party efforts, hardly an advancement worth crowing about for over a year.

Nick should have simply stuck with the only true selling point: Stallone officially authorized figures from his films.

I see the likeness to Stallone. Definitely not to HT standards but not bad either.

To be fair, InArt is making even the best HT figures look like toys.

I wish InArt would be making Rocky and Rambo figures instead. Imagine Indy and Die Hard too...or the Clint Eastwood figures instead of Sideshow.

You see what you get when you mess with the Ophans?....Nick. I know not that extreme, but it's what I got with that close-up.

To be fair, HT isn't claiming to be redefining the hobby like Nick has been.

To be fair, all the ground has been broken by Nicky C.
It's all just rubble!

He keeps trying... and people keep laughing...

He looks like he's been waiting all day for a bus, not realising that the bus service on this road was cancelled twenty years ago.

 

[Chambea1114]

Yeah, this figure is pretty bad for what they are asking/claiming the only good thing on this is the clothes. Also, you guys realize that Dean Knight is best friends with Justins collection? Justin has gone to Dean's house and has sent him figures that he doesn't keep + and we all know how much of a fake and a shill Justin is.

Dean's just getting a taste for it with companies sending him stuff for free and this is the outcome.

He's been collecting for a VERY long time and knows what a good figure is and what a bad figure is and he's usually very critical about these things so he must know this figure isn't very good he's just shilling like his good pal because they sent the figure to him.

 

[JacktheRipper]

Again, it's a decent figure. It's on the lower tier of what is being produced today. It was never going to be what was promoted. We knew that, hell they knew that. As has been stated it should have just been promoted as a figure from Stallone. Priced at Threezero's figures. Taken the criticism. Hopefully used that to improve the next figure. That was never going to happen based on how everything has been handled with this figure. I don't hate the figure. I would have purchased it with its glaring flaws and Nick's buffoonery. It's not priced right for what it is.

 

[Van_Damme]

I agree with the above; however, also not purchasing. Awaiting final prod. shots of ThreeZero's FB, which I do have on order.

What it does give me is a little more confidence in the impending COBRA figure, as well as tempering expectation for it.

 

[JacktheRipper]

I too have Threezero's preordered. Excited for that release.
This release gives me pause for future figures from Stallone. I like Kaustic Plastik, but they need to up their game. They seem to be stuck in a time in this hobby.

 

[Chambea1114]

I remember when Kaustic Plastik was making 1/6 HIstorical Roman figures, those were cool.

It gives me pause as well - but with something as niche as COBRA, I feel like if it's a figure you want it's going to be about acceptance. Maybe with no competing releases from other companies to weigh against it'll be a slightly less-bitter pill to swallow...

. . . ...with the hopes that they improve sculpt/paint application based on feedback from this release (and lower the price? Who am I kidding... but a guy can dream, amirite?!?!!).

 

[JacktheRipper]

...and they had no interest in licensed figures. I think how they operate works for those kind of figures. Their head sculpts were not good, however.

Yeah...no...they ain't lowering anything. That's fine just improve your product...yeah..no...that ain't happening either.
