vice, i would love to love to love to slide these out man. but except for about 5 figs, all my shit is still fresh and unopened. reason being that i still don't have anywhere to display them and with the ways thing are around here at the moment i don't know when i'll need some quick cash. and my figs are the only real assets i have. so i need to keep these fresh for the time being. last time i sold something as mint box on ebay i got mega hassled by the buyer who claimed that the box looked like it had been opened. so really sorry dude. but hope you get a picture of what these look like. and hot damn i'm happy with them!! creed is just fantastic. from straight on there is definite weathers in there. from a slight angle it's a perfect sculpt. it really is pretty nice. the accessories for creed as well look fantastic. the only thing i thought was a bit funny was that he has white gloves and i thought he had red gloves in the "living in america" scene. correct me if i'm wrong. drago is immense. and damn heavy. the box is even bigger than the others. he is really massive (don't know if those muscles will reduce articulation even more) but he looks amazing. the sculpt is much much better too. the only thing i don't like is the overdone dark eyeshadow - he looks like a giant swedish jack sparrow that's been drinking a gallon of steroids everyday and has lost all interest in pirate culture. i know he had those slight dark rings under his eyes in the film, but they're a little too distinct here. still - looks A LOT like lundgren and i am damn happy. the four of them together make hot toys' most consistently excellent line. for $85 each i would get 2 of these each. sooooo happy. wish i could bust these out and play with them straight away. oh, and as always - sorry about the crud pics. took them in a real hurry. suppose you can tell that though (poor excuse for my talentlessness) NP man, thx for posting them they look incredible way better than i had hoped.Getting them both for sure eventually now!!!pics look good!!!!! ;D

hey man, glad you like the figs AND decided to get them. truth is these are figures that again come under that category of "must be in hand to appreciate them fully". my crappy pics don't help in this case but still, i reckon anyone who actually bought these would be much more pleased than with pics (kinda like HT supes). definitely great. i was looking forward to jack sparrow much more than these but that was a mistake.
i have been waiting for rocky figs for so long and here they are. and i am not disappointed. and the minor problems in paint (although creed is damn near perfect) could easily be cleared up with a few small brush strokes. i did initially think drago's body was too big, but it doesn't matter to me at all anymore.
i hope hot toys do a few more rounds of these with rocky 1 rocky and mickey in the next round (with street rocky as exclusive) and tommy gunn and paulie or duke (or even brigette nielsen!!!) in the round after that. i can't see them doing it but who knows.

thanks for posting the clip - my sister has run off with my rocky box set!! it's killing me! i need to watch IV again. one thing i noticed about carl weathers is that he has quite small squinty eyes and big cheeks. hot toys have sort of managed the cheeks, but slightly smaller eyes IMO and this would have been a perfect mini carl weathers. went and found the rocky fig in my dusty vault and the sculpt on that one is also incredible. i loved it but wasn't 100% convinced like i was with the rambo III figure. boy was i mistaken. that is easily one of HT's finest sculpts. god these Rocky figs RRRRUUUUUULLLLEEE!!!!
