I know that the Rambo line wasn't a big seller, but I'm kinda curious as to why we still never got the Rambo released with the bow and arrow outside of the videogame figure, and yet, Rocky is somehow getting a re-release.

Rocky is celebrating an Anniversary, so it seems a decent time to redo the line, especially since aftermarket prices on some of them have gotten way out of hand. According to Randy, they currently have 16 waves planned out for Rocky if it sells well enough. and with this, they at least have supporting characters that are as recognizable as the main figure.

The last two to three Rambo releases tanked. The Rambo NES figure is one of their worst sellers in the line and I still run into that and the SDCC one here and there at Toys "R"Us stores. To the general, non-hardcore fan, they really don't need more than one Rambo and there were no other characters coming out to support the need for multiple takes on that Stallone.

Also anybody know of a place to get clubber Lang and rocky with belt seperate? Bbts has the 4 pack and I pre ordered that but in all honesty I'd rather just have the 2 best figures. Like above stated about the Rambo fans only need one, I only need one rocky. |

Wait don't you mean 16 figures? Not 16 waves of figures? Or is that correct?

If each wave consists, mainly, of two figures available in 2 styles, it's easy to extend the line out.

I'm only interested in Clubber Lang for this wave and just counting on NECA to do a Rocky 3 figure with the American flag shorts in a later wave. I guess technically thats what the video game version was but, would really like one with a realistic paint job.

I love the two heads:
1. "I'm fighting Ivan Drago!" 2. "I'm dead!" |

If Neca has Carl Weathers likeness rights. Why haven't we got a Predator Dillion yet?

Separate license. They have had rights to Apollo Creed likeness for years. Haven't been able to get him to agree to terms for Dillon.

I see zero resemblance to Carl Weathers in the smiling Apollo head sculpt, hate to say.

*EDIT* And while we're on the subject of Predator, have you hear any talk about Jesse the Body's likeness rights being talked about at any point? Last edited by Dolemite; 06-09-2016 at 11:43 AM.. |

Last time Randy was asked about Ventura, he simply said likeness rights weren't available.

I can see some custom possibilities here.
Get an extra Dutch and use his legs and vest.. use the chest and arms and stern looking head for Apollo ... find a way to get a green hat and some gloved hands and you can make... "We've both got scores to settle" Dillon. |

Are these going to be available through Toys R Us? I don't see them on their website (not even a pre-order).

They most likely will be, I've seen plenty (actually most) of NECA's stuff not be on Toys R Us for pre-orders but they still get them in stock and sell them when they are actually released. Give it some time.

Yes. They shipped out to retailers last week, which means they should start showing up in stores within 2-3 weeks after that.

The Fool....I pity him...
I love any and all Mr. T figures...BUT...as i'm looking at my ..i wanna say Jakks Pacific ..Clubber lang...it still really holds up. Not really a reason to buy this one. I'm going to get it and bring it home and do a side by side comparison to see if I really feel the need to own this. Not feeling that Apollo Creed figure.
