MMS138 – The Expendables: 1/6th scale Barney Ross Collectible Figure

quiggle · Mar 14, 2011

I want to know why in the film you see Stallone wearing a white t-shirt underneath the green shirt, but Hot Toys decided to exclude that and make the white underwear instead?

Underwear is more important than undershirts :dunno

I don't get the underwear at all, Wolverine came with it too, it adds nothing to the figure and you never see it.

Maybe it's to prevent leaking!

also with the cross expendables skull chain, how come the one I have is blue but the movie looks like it is silver?

just received mine from Q. Excellent service by the way.

I notice HT covered up up some text with a new sticker that says "1/6th Scale Collectible Figure" on the front and back. Just curious if anybody peeled it off to see what they covered up.

This movie sucked. They should make more Rocky figures.

I liked it. I hope they make more!

I hope they make more of these figures too, but I'm getting that feeling that this is it.

Same here.

So atomic and simple movie of 2010.

Although i've never been a Stallone fan until i saw these all Rocky movies in 2009 first time :horror

I noticed this as well.

They spelled "Collectibles" wrong under the sticker. It said "Collectbles."

The outer sleeve for this guy was dull, only emphasized by the typo.

I just spent an hour and a half of my life trying to put this piece of garbage together. I spent this hour and a half trying to do one strap, that's right, ONE strap through the vest and loosening the others to place it one him. Finally, just as I was getting it, the buckle broke. Hot Toys makes these things out of ____ people. I've had 3 things break in just the past few first months I've started to collect this stuff and it's made of ____. Thin little plastic garbagey pieces. Well no more. This is the last hot toy for me ever so help me God, I am done paying 200 bucks for breakable out of the box garbage.

kaidoy021 · Mar 16, 2011

Sorry to hear you troubles Gun-Haver. Most of us, including me, don't have fingers small enough to deal with these tiny straps. It took me a lot of patience and a pair of tweezers and a pointed object to achieve what I wanted. Maybe try it with some tools? Just a suggestion

i know how you feel
for $200 the product should be a little more durable
it is more noticeable with the iron man figures though i think.
they seem so delicate.
however, these are collectible items and not meant to be played with despite the "action figure" title...

I've mentioned it before... I had very good luck with my Hot Toys figures (over 35 of them). However a great deal of patience, lighting and tweezer help is needed a lot of the time. I just go someplace comfortable with a cold drink and turn on some tunes and put my figure together. Usually, the relaxed attitude cuts down on frustration and everything turns out well.

The problem with 'durable' is it wouldn't be in scale then. And then people would complain about that, too thick, too big, etc. I also use special tweezers (Hemostat Clamp). They work wonders.
