Definitely looks like a first attempt at figures, but I can't blame them for trying to jump into the market. Jada made it look easy!!

Looks very 80s, I guess that's what they were aiming for?

It's Schwarzenegger and Stallone fighting Aliens with snowballs, what else do you expect?

They don't look quite that bad, but the asking price is steep for what they are.

EDIT: Never mind what I just typed. I see now that these figs come with a deluxe release of the new game along with other items. The price and their look/quality make more sense having that knowledge.

Not going to buy in since I don't think I'd buy the game anyway. Not paying that much to get a couple of crappy figures.

Close...but it's actually supposed to be Michael Biehn and Arnold. The headband always tricks people into thinking it's Rambo, but it's more Kyle Reese (and later Corporal Hicks...) than John Rambo.

Biehn gets around, as he was also the inspiration for Solid Snake on the box art for the Ultra Games port of Metal Gear for the original NES.

They're both Arnold.


Never heard of any Biehn connection with Contra. To me, the chatacter sprites in the game implied a Rambo-type more than a future Reese type.
