Indeed. Threezero are capable of brilliance. I hope they can knock this one out the park.

 

[ebor]

If they did ... then I will get this to go with the RAMBO III --that is a GREAT figure!

I read August somewhere recently too.

I’m not sure what to expect without seeing updates on the design, but I am glad that he appears to be going ahead - there was a time there where he wasn’t looking likely after his initial announcement…

Production versions of Stallone Shop's own First Blood 1/6 Rambo have just been reviewed by Dean Knight and Justin's Collection. Both full of praise, but I want to see someone compare the Threezero version next to it so we know which is better. Both look good.

Quick kitbash I did today, got a better jacket coming think it might be worth me recasting this head with some work to the hair.
Maybe threezero will release this version at some point depending how their first blood figure does.
Likeness to me is better perfect for first blood not sure

A friend just received an email from Threezero that they shipped his Rambo

I always wondered, probably money, why companies don't do more headsculpts. I don't think it would have to do with likeness rights...the heads would probably cost an extra 100k more to cast I am guessing.

I love having a stoic face, because it seems to be most accurate. But I would LOVE a screaming rambo head bc it's iconic.

I'm sure it's a number of factors. Getting one sculpt done to everyone's satisfaction is probably time consuming, and if you have a limited number of sculptors, pouring those resources into more items for a single figure vs generating multiple unique figures probably isn't worth the trouble.

Often when Hot Toys does it, it's to ensure sales, like their original Bank Robber Joker came with a head that had nothing to do with the look of the figure, but it offered an upgrade to their prior release for customers who owned that figure, so it was seen as a new figure plus something to add value to something you already own.

Hot toys seems to rarely do this. The only company that does it is neca but that's a much smaller scale.

Always wanted that screaming Rambo head.

Cost for heads is the highest expense for a figure. The paint. If you look at the difference between the cost of a cheap toy and an expensive one, it's the finish level of the paint.

Just got my invoice. No photos yet?

Just saw this.

It sucks they didn’t change the body. The head sculpt looks great though.

 

[Wor-Gar]

The face looked good when he first took him out until he put that harsh light on it.

Body is from Rambo 2, maybe 3.

 

[Rotfish]

Body is from Rambo 2, maybe 3.

They likely just reused the 3 body, which is the biggest he ever got in the original films. I suppose it would be passable for 2, but far too big for FB.

Face looks better, still not sure about the style and length of the hair.

All in all, they didn't knock this one out of the park. I don't think it's the clear winner we hoped it would be after Nick-O-Rama's M65 release.
