[rockybalboa101]

@AntiGmovies Thanks Bishop!

[Boston0908]

Omg amazing

[rockybalboa101]

@Boston0908 Thanks for commenting! :)

[jasongreen71]

i don't think its worth the 300 buck's

[rockybalboa101]

@jasongreen71 I kind of agree, but these Hot Toys figures are even more expensive now. The average price is around 400 bucks presently.

[thehotspot3537]

$300 thats outrageous

[rockybalboa101]

@thehotspot3537 I know, I'm crazy. :)

[womblewandering]

Are you getting the NECA rocky toys?

What do you think of them? They look good but i do love jakks toys too. I have jakks.

[rockybalboa101]

@womblewandering I plan on it when they come out. I love the Hot Toys and Jakks toys.

[womblewandering]

@rockybalboa101

Which do you prefer? Neca, hot toys or jakks? I seen the pics for the necas and rockys arm looks too skinny. Overall thye are good but the arms and body just needs to be bulkier thats all.

Oh, that hot toys drago has a feminine face lol. face is awful but the rest is very good.

[rockybalboa101]

@womblewandering Hmm, well I guess the Jakks figures hold a special place for me. They were the first Rocky toy line in the new millenium.

[MrPrestoTV]

I have to say, Dan. I think this is the least accurate figure I've seen from Hot Toys.

[MrPrestoTV]

I just can't get over that long neck and how the heck did they get the hair color wrong?!?!?!?!? That's crazy!!!!!!

[rockybalboa101]

@MrPrestoTV I totally agree. Most people think this is the worst figure. But for me, there is something about it that I really enjoy.

[Ichthus05]

I tried that and it does work a little bit, but the heads on these guys aren't too well articulated and can't look up or down very far. Drago can look down just *slightly*, but that's enough to make it look better. I have him in a fantastic pose, with his left hand just kinda floating out there while that right hand is cocked and ready to strike. He's definitely awesome.

Do you know if these guys have chest joints? Neither seems to want to bend at the chest (I won't force it, of course..)

[rockybalboa101]

@Ichthus05 Nope, no chest joints. The only figures I tilted the heads down on were Clubber and Rocky for me, and they did it pretty well, but I didn't try with Drago and the others.

[Ichthus05]

well, mine finally came in the mail. it's definitely pretty cool. it does have a couple of issues, though, of course there's the giraffe neck as you pointed out, but also, his eyes are looking up. why would a guy this tall, that ppl will be displaying with shorter figures, be looking up?? makes no sense. but oh well, he's awesome anyway. :)

still trying for yellow rocky and apollo...once I have those two I'll have the whole set.

[rockybalboa101]

@Ichthus05 Congrats on finally holding the figure! Try this for the eye problem: After you have him posed like you want him, tilt his head down. He will be looking straight then, but have a menacing profile because thats what evil movie characters do. :)

[cfmotoracer]

Great on getting he keeps escaping me by for 200 more on eBay. Which I refuse to grab it at. Congratulating you on your score. Clik Clik!

[rockybalboa101]

@cfmotoracer Thanks! These figures get more and more crazy expensive every day.

[kaptinkarr]

man i got to tell you the pic of the figures on the boxes are better than the actual figure its self

[rockybalboa101]

@kaptinkarr I agree with you mostly. The Rocky Balboa box version is terrible though. :)

[kaptinkarr]

@rockybalboa101 oh well i guss the didnt detail him enough stupid toy company

[rockybalboa101]

@kaptinkarr The Drago on the box version is DEFINITELY better for sure.  Clubber is about the same. :)

[SLSwriter]

E-Bay *lol …..FUN Collectables! Yeah… his neck is weird looking, Details people come on!

[rockybalboa101]

@SLSwriter I'm so glad I got all of these. Mainly cause I was sick of spending WAY too much money! :)

[hockscape]

sick



[rockybalboa101]

@hockscape I know! :)

[jim70041]

Hi dan great review on all your hot toys figures they are a cool line of figures hopefully should start to collect them soon were is the best place to buy them from

will put up some reviews myself soon hope you will like them many thanks jim

[rockybalboa101]

@jim70041 Yo Jim, thanks for the comment! Your best bet to buy the Rocky Hot Toys is e-bay. I searched everywhere for them for months and that was the best place. But you need to be careful to try and get a good deal. I saw used figures go for 400 bucks! All of my figures were brand new, and the most I paid was $319.

[AlcazarDisco]

A video with all your Ivan Drago stuff would be great!!:D

[rockybalboa101]

@AlcazarDisco I have some other videos lined up first, but I will try to make one when I am finished with those. :)

[AlcazarDisco]

Love your vids!!:)

Can you show more stfuf with Ivan Drago?

Would be awesome:D

/Axel

[rockybalboa101]

@AlcazarDisco Thanks for the kind words! I know I've covered all of my Drago stuff, but is there something specifically you had in mind? :)

[vince18ny]

Nice not great I prefer the other ones but still nice

[rockybalboa101]

@vince18ny Thanks for commenting Vince! :)

[MattsMovieReview]

Sweet I want one !!!!

[rockybalboa101]

@MattsMovieReview Good to hear from you Matt!

[SLSwriter]

cool stuff dude!

[rockybalboa101]

@SLSwriter Why thank you Steph! ;)

[adnuk68]

Dragos head looks like a dude in Drag. Wow. The jacket is cool, like a waiters dinner jacket. Dan, great hearing from you as always. I hope you will continue doing reviews on new items you purchase along your "Rocky" road. Possibly, oh, I don't know, say, you came across a "book' you like that has alot to do with Rocky, well, I for one, might be interested in what you had to say as a fan. LOL! Thanks big guy! Keep Punchin'!

[rockybalboa101]

@adnuk68 lol Mike, well if I happen to come across said book, I may have to make a video about it. ;)

[ItchyGoomie]

Nice review once again. I dont understand why they would go that far with the details of the body and wardsrobe and get the hair color wrong. I also have to say his head looks very feminine. Looks like a lot of make up. I have to also agree with eccentricness. Who you kiddin Dan? You know you gonna get Clubber!

[rockybalboa101]

@ItchyGoomie Thanks Erik. I didn't mention it in the video, but the Drago images on the box which you can see have him with blonde hair! I have no clue why it was altered. As far as Clubber goes....we shall see. :)

[MrPunisher2012]

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like it bro.

[rockybalboa101]

@MrPunisher2012 Thanks Louis!

[eccentricness81]

I just purchaced the Rocky with american trunks on ebay! got it for like $330 or something. I would never get the drago one, it looks nothing like him. I do want the Italian stallion one but they going for around $600 to $800!!!

[rockybalboa101]

@eccentricness81 Awesome! Even though Drago's hair is totally wrong, I feel they got the "likeness" of Dolph decently enough. I also love the fact that Drago is the only figure that is completely different from the others. You got a good deal on your figure Gino. I have pain-stakenly watched e-bay for 6 months to get good prices on my figures. My prices were..

Creed: $159.99 (toysquare)

Stallion: $240 (ebay)

Lang: $199.99 (toysquare)

Rocky: $300 (ebay)

Drago: $319 (ebay)

[eccentricness81]

you're so gonna get that other clubber lang figure Dan! LOL

[rockybalboa101]

@eccentricness81 Lol Gino, I hope you are wrong in this situation but typically you are right. My whole life collecting things I have always needed a complete set. From McDonalds Batman and Jurassic Park cups, to all of the Halloween movies (even Halloween III which has nothing to do with the series). When I first bought the Rocky Jakks Pacific line, I only bought 5 figures. Then I said, I'll get only the main figures. Then I said, I gotta have them all! I'm gonna try to be strong about Clubber.

[eccentricness81]

@rockybalboa101 hehe well you hang in there buddy!

[MovieReviewTime]

i like this fig great detail....that clubber figure he is dressed like an indian!

[rockybalboa101]

@MovieReviewTime Thanks Bob! Clubber Lang must have come from a plantation or a casino, lol.

[arniesly80s]

nice figure, it looks better than the rocky's figure & abt your review, theres no doubt its great :-)

[rockybalboa101]

@arniesly80s Thanks for the great comment! :)

[CerebralAssassin1977]

Figures are nice...too bad they couldnt be more accurate...this Drago actually looks like his wife in the movie...lol

[rockybalboa101]

@CerebralAssassin1977 lol, it's Ludmilla Drago's head on Ivan's body! :)

[PrincessRaizo]

I wonder if dolph lundgren has this figure,lol, i liked the clothes better on him, his neck seemed shorter that way,haha. great review!!!

[rockybalboa101]

@PrincessRaizo Thanks! The figure brings a whole new meaning to the words "stiff neck", lol!

[TylerCharlesFisher]

"I must break dance."

Another great review!

[rockybalboa101]

@TylerCharlesFisher Thanks Tyler. :)

[briang9581]

Great video, as always - ThunderCats - Ho!

[rockybalboa101]

@briang9581 Thanks Brian.  "Sword of Omens, give me sight beyond sight!" Ho!

[derby1980wwe]

The neck is long on my one aswell. I put the towel around the neck then sort of put the silk jacket over the towel looks much better :) I'm going to get the hair repainted on mine make it more blonde :) Nice review :)

[rockybalboa101]

@derby1980wwe Thanks! I would definitely like to see the results of your re-paint when you do it. I don't have the guts to try it out myself, lol.

[369XRyan]
