Stallone line - First Blood Rambo released

[Van_Damme]

*sigh*

On repeat: "But it'll be the only COBRA figure, then, so I guess so; But it'll be the only COBRA figure, then, so I guess so; But it'll be the only COBRA figure, then, so I guess so; But it'll be the only COBRA fig-----"

Heres inigous previous kp rockys.
Never thought these were accurate either.
Infact looking at his ig there is something off with most if not all if them.
Maybe its because its done by digital sculpting, maybe its just the placement of the eyebrows is raised, but the rest of the expression is relaxed.
Makes him look stoned confused or just not natural
If you raise your eyebrows in the mirror but the rest of your face stays relaxed you'll get what I mean.
Not trolling just interested why every sculpt he does is characture or stylised as some would defend rainmans sculpts in the past being stylised
I just think its very hard getting everything to look natural whether 3d or hand sculpted.
The pics dean took are good and from some angles the likeness is there others it looks weird.
Most of the time in first blood even in the scenes wearing the jacket he does not have this expression at all.
I don't think its possible, might be talking bull
I think the upcoming rocky figures will just be carbon copies of the kp releases which I passed on, close but off.

I'm sooooooo disappointed by this release...
Huge fan of First Blood and Stallone i had high hopes for this line.
But the fact that it's only available on Stallone shop and not in europe makes it already hard to get with that ridiculous price tag. I'd have to pay at least 350 euros to get it which is absolutely enormous considering the small amount of accessories.
And i'm not even talking about the sample that looks terrible... Have you seen the paint apps on the knife ? RIDICULOUS !
I'm definetly getting Threezero's First Blood Rambo now.

Justin posted a review. He shilled for them too. It's almost like they were reading from a script

I just watched Justin’s figure review for this. I give him credit for admitting this was a freebie figure given to him by Stallone shop, but still expected a fair review as what is good and what is annoying about the figure. He has ALWAYS put this in the figure reviews I have seen of his and is part of his script. but this time……nada!
I guess, any observations of improvements risks biting the hand that feeds them in this case.

I am disappointed with Justin on this one.

Pretty sure they were, Embarrasing

 

[medicomsucks]

Yeah I agree this is Justin's Collection least credible review. I think this is on par with a sideshow figure with the exception of the hands, which look good.

Also, does justin have a cat? It looks like he petted an animal before opening this.

 

[BeefEaster]

Looks pretty good to me from the in hand reviews.

I'd be satisfied with my purchase if I decided to buy one.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I will say I am more impressed with the figure through Justin's review. His lighting kills the "bear spray" red eyes and makes the hair appear less plastic-y.

On the negative side: I do think he looks too barrel-chested for FB/early Stallone. That body seems more like Rambo 3. And he's too tall relative to Arnold (if that DX is proper Arnold height).

Although Stallone likely wants his FB Rambo idealized the way he sees himself, here's his actual body size in that jacket in the movie...

Man, is he always so hurt about people's reactions to his reviews.

Yeah thats another guy who has little credibility in the collecting hobby, imo.

Basically if you sell out like this guy and you are clearly not giving an honest review, then expect people to call you out. People are usually good at smelling bull$hit.

Dean is probably reading this thread lol.

He’s gotta realize all of this is the name of the game though. People are going to disagree with your opinions. Now a days if your opinion doesn’t match someone else’s they’ll call you names. Who cares..

Shill or not it’s still their opinion they’re putting out there. I think if you don’t value their opinion you shouldn’t watch it or buy what they’re recommending.

I personally watch Dean and Justin to have a closer look at something. If it’s something I personally like I’m getting it.

 

[Rotfish]

To be fair, the redness around the eyes is toned down here. Maybe it is just a trick of the light.

Well he didn't say anything about the Freaks, but yeah I would imagine he has checked in. We just get a rambling monologue on why Rambo looks so sad. I dont have a problem with the expression, it is the sculpt/paint app that is my problem.

The bit about the knife never being used by Rambo in the early part of the movie is true and valid, but it kind of misses the point, if you excuse the pun. If this is such a masterpiece 10/10 fig then the knife should be metal, regardless if you pose him with it or just leave it in the box. We have all received figs in the past and when they include metal pieces it always make you think, they went the extra mile with this one. Not sure about the excuse they could not include a metal knife for safety reasons, that means a lot of company's are breaking the law then, it sounds pretty dubious imo.

Im glad to hear there might be a revision to this, but I wont get my hopes up.
My best advice to Dean would be, when your in a hole, stop digging.

 

[dabas]

Shills are like buses you hang around forever waiting for one , then two (Dean and Justin) come along at once

 

[MGS_OldBoy57]

Where they went wrong with this figure is Nick overhyped it. It’s not a bad figure but it’s definitely not the best. Everyone is turned off by the “marketing” already, topped that off with an ok looking figure of course everyone is gonna be annoyed/mad.

 

[JacktheRipper]

The responses should have been expected. You can not toute a figure like they have and put out what they have. My standards must be too high, or theirs too low.

I think it’s between that and the price. If this was like $200-$230 and not as hyped people might view it differently. I still don’t think it’s as bad as many are saying but it probably isn’t worth the asking price.

I’ll probably get the Threezero Rambo from First Blood if I decide to get one. Even though I like this outfit.
