Cool, how many points of articulation?

About 25 each.

Does the ring come with the figures?

It does not.

Awesome set! I do wish the Superman figure's eyes were open. Even slightly open would be better. Otherwise, such a perfect comic version of him. The Ali figure is undeniably Ali, looks exactly like him. I really hope NECA makes an Ultimate Ali figure, as he looks too cool for just one release.
Great pics!

Thanks!

I agree, an Ultimate or standard release Ali would be a great figure to have.

I'm really anxious to see someone attempt a custom repaint of the Ali figure. I wonder even if, since it appears to be the same cast translucent skin as the Rocky figures, the comic paint could be removed?

I just found one at TRU today. I was honestly shocked they got any, since they didn't get the HQ and Bale. I bought 2, since the box is so awesome.

My TRU got a ton of these in. They look awesome, but the eyes, man. Not only are Superman's eyes closed, but Ali's are practically closed as well also! There's a tiny little sliver of white at the bottom of his closed eyelids, which I guess is supposed to make him look like he's ultra-squinting, but for all intents and purposes, both figures are fighting blind, which just looks stupid. It's a shame, as the figures are otherwise great.

BTW, in this shot is Ali attempting to remove the top turnbuckle while the ref is distracted? I didn't know he was playing the heel in this match.

Joe, Fantastic work again on the pics. Just brilliant!

I was going for more of a "looking back at his opponent while using the turnbuckle for support" type thing.

Thank you for the kind words.

I like this set but they didn't get Ali's skin tone right, even for the comic. He's too dark.
