Stallone line - First Blood Rambo released

[crankitup86]

Remember this ? Back in February Nicky on his Instagram said " it's selling out fast act quickly " and " only a 45 day pre order window then the price will rise from $260 to $290 " . Well here we are over six months later and it's still up for pre order on Stallone Shop ! Fact is , it's not selling well at all. Stallone Shop's foray into 1/6th scale figure business has been a disaster, from the comical promotion by Nick cordasco to the finished product. Hot Toys prices for a sub par headsculpt, bad paint , lack of accessories , pay in full upfront and overpriced. This figure hasn't sold many pre orders and because of that Stallone Shop won't risk wasting money making more figures and will abandon this venture. I can't see Cobra being released.

Shame. I hope they do, was really looking forward to the Rocky figures.

Thanks for the head's up! (So I don't have to follow that clown)

Behold, the second greatest 1/6 scale figure ever made.

It's also an additional $30 USD over the First Blood fig... for 2nd place?

Jeezus that face.... not the doll's.

Can't really see the figure. Looks to be on par with the first attempt.

I guess you were right all along. Sly might be in need of money.

The figure photos on the box actually look pretty good but I couldn't tell from the video.

The prototype looks fantastic, great sculpt. Eyes painted like this on the First Blood sculpt would be a winner.

Even the prototype went a hair big with the iris, but the production samples sent out for review were much worse.

That's the thing, Stallone Shop's prototypes were never bad. Production figures from these guys are another story: softened hair sculpts, pale skin, and eyes like Sly's a ghost.

I shudder to think of how melted the the badge and watch will look on the final. If they had a hard time reproducing Rambo's blade, the intricate Cobra accessories have no chance. And those will actually be visible.

That necklace though.

He better stay away from Crime Alley.

I can see Stallone. But I also see Eric Balfour and even some Miles Teller for some reason.

Looks like a necklace a grandma would wear

They are using retouch/manipulated photos for the promo shoots. of the Cobra figure..look at the arm holding the gun, the clearly "natural hair type" in one of the photos and would hate to think they are using real photos of Stallone using filters to mate it to the figure head, I mean...look how bad is the Rambo head from "first batch/review examples",...do not even match the promo pictures. Pretty sure we will have the same result here with Cobretti.

At this point I don't want an unboxing video. I want to see the figure. This did a terrible job of doing that. I hate the hype, but get why they go this route. Both of these figures aren't terrible, but not worth the price for me. If it was priced closer to Threezeros I would have jumped on both. I don't want to support this due to Nick. It makes me feel dirty. Sylvester doesn't seem too interested in any of this as long as he gets paid. Could be wrong, but that's the feeling I get.

 

[Wor-Gar]

That shot is weird. What's with the separate piece of hair in front like a bizarre toupee?

 

[snoop101]

I don’t think the cobra headsculpt looks good at all. Even the paint on the proto looks off.

 

[crankitup86]

Doesn’t look to bad with his shades on. What a shame. ..I hope they get it right with the Rocky line. three’s a charm and all that.. (yes I’m a glass is half full kinda guy)

I think the jaw line and chin are throwing it off. Stallone had a much more rugged jaw line and square chin in Cobra. The face on the sculpt is heart shaped.
