Stallone line - First Blood Rambo released

[Mike86]

What's your 2nd fav Rambo and Rocky?

Probably Rocky II and Rambo (2008). I don’t mind Rocky III and Rocky Balboa is also pretty good.

I think as a franchise Rocky is more consistent than Rambo, but I really love First Blood.

 

[Wor-Gar]

First Blood to Rambo II is like Mad Max to Road Warrior. It's just a while other movie/world.

No one wants mousy Adrian Pennino...?

ADRIAN!!!

I'm probably in the minority, but I'd buy Adrian.

Female sidekick type characters are underrepresented in collectible form.

We get Jack from Titanic Jack figures (but no Rose)... Superman (no Lois). I was able to find a Gwen Stacey (Emma Stone) 3rd party figure to pair with Garfield Spiderman but that's a rare case.

Sly shop just posted. Time to go broke

How do you think Stallone Shop will handle the body for Rocky - seamless or exposed joints?

I believe this is their 1st attempt on an exposed figure body. StarAce was using some off the shelf seamless body (TB League?).

Rocky 4 is my favorite!

Count me in for both Drago and Mickey.

Rocky IV Drago with same outfit as Asmus (match gear)?

Do you mean StarAce?

Their sculpts are horrendous but I was tempted to get the DX version with all the multiple gear and accessory options. IIRC, there were 3 looks including a training gear.

I may pickup the StarAce figures and pose those in the training gears since the heads are mostly hidden underneath the boxing headgear.

I'm curious what Stallone Shop will include.

Rocky 1 and 2 is like one long movie.

Love we’re getting Mickey.

Drago looks promising.

The sculpt paint apps and eyes are usually my main criticisms of the Stallone shop figures. The eyes look lifeless at times.

But I guess Drago always has that dead eye look in Rocky 4 so this works out.

 

[Mr.E]

What's the point of blocking out the eyes?

 

[JacktheRipper]

What's the point of blocking out the eyes?

...and not blocking out Drago's
It's usually what's off with their sculpts.

 

[Mike86]

Definitely is odd to show most of the sculpt for Rocky but block out the eyes. Not sure I get the point of that.

 

[jsgord58]

What's the point of blocking out the eyes?

I was naked in front of my computer. Rocky does not like to look at male genitalia.

 

[Collector57]

What's the point of blocking out the eyes?

That part of the sculpt may not have gotten full approval yet. Perhaps there's an issue they're still working on.

Delay for John Rambo and Cobra re-release

Our factory has notified us that there is a slight delay in production which will update the ship date for this item to late February.

Delay for John Rambo and Cobra re-release

Thats fine. Another month doesn’t hurt anything. Pretty standard in this hobby.

Is the guy hyping the Stallone figures still posting?

Seems like I'm not seeing as many pictures (with the bars across the eyes).

Those of you in the states who purchased one of the 1/6 figures from slystalloneshop, how much is shipping?

Well, preordered the Cobra figure. This one is much more of a grail to me than Rocky. The Rambo one was not to my liking.
