Is this a preview of a Hot Toys Rocky 1976?

Saw this on Facebook on the Hot Toys community page. It comes with a bunch of other pics of Hot Toys unpacking their stuff.

At first i just thought this was a Jakks Action figure ring which they made years ago because i never thought in my wildest dreams that HT would actually make the Ring.
I Pray that they will make Apollo Creed to go with Rocky for the ultimate setup.

Could just be for the display at the exhibition and won't actually make it available for collectors,either way...We're getting a Rocky finally!!!

That is what I was thinking. Maybe the figure is not ready to show, so they will put a ring display up with a coming soon card inside the ring?

Ropes are the wrong colour

I would be impatient as hell if that happens,this is a figure ive been waiting for since i started collecting so it would be hard for me to wait
But yeah that's probably what it is.

Stars aren't to scale. Pass.

Maybe just another custom contest like the Iron Man/Batman/Michael Jackson stuff they showed on earlier exhibitions. But if it is a Rocky announcement than count me in!

 

[quiggle]

well if they release 1976 Rocky with rubber body destined to crack would you still get it?

I think it will be like a Barney Ross type body if we get one

 

[quiggle]

yah but eventually that one is going to crack too.

Those newer bodies are not rubber. They are a PVC material that is presumably more durable.

Street clothes Rocky and I can die happy!

If they do a 1/6 Trans Am like he buys when he starts making money, I will $#¥+ myself!

 

[Animal Mother.]

I want a 1/6 Garbage Can for it to run into if it does happen.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

1/6th scale slab of meat por favor.

 

[Johnny Utah]

What is this for? Is there a new show on?

I hope they scrap this in favor of a Sly and Estelle Getty two-pack exclusive scalper's delight edition:

Right now I have a red corduroy jacket on a Barney Ross and it just doesn't quite work . . .
