Rocky 1 Figures Review

[AntiGmovies]

awsome review lol the training meat rocky looks like horrible but i realy like the rocky beaten ring gear

[rockybalboa101]

@AntiGmovies I know, I can't believe they messed up one of the greatest moments in the series with a terrible head sculpt.

[greg9322]

i love rocky stallone is my favourite

[rockybalboa101]

@greg9322 Me too.

[lakebay972]

That'd be cool if they had a Dipper action figure. He was the one to whom Mick gave Rocky's locker. There was a deleted scene where Apollo (with a news crew) comes into Mick's Gym to meet Rocky and promote their fight; but Dipper gets jealous of the attention Rocky receives, so he challenges Rocky to a fight. Rocky won't fight him, so Dipper has Rocky kiss his feet. As Rocky kneels down, he gives Dipper a stiff uppercut that knocks him to the floor. Apollo leaves impressed with Rocky.

[rockybalboa101]

@lakebay972 Thanks for the comment! Yeah, I have a copy of the original script, and it has that Dipper scene in it. :)

[lakebay972]

@rockybalboa101 Can't find it on YouTube. Wonder if it was ever shot? I've seen pictures implying that it was and remember seeing it on cable years ago. It was that and the ones from Rocky IV where God (voiceover) tells Apollo to sacrifice himself while at the same time, Drago's managers tell him to kill him (scene before their fight). And the other where Rocky has to surrender his belt to The Boxing Commission in order to be allowed to fight Drago. In fact, part of that scene is in the trailer.

[rockybalboa101]

@lakebay972 I've seen stills of the Dipper scene, but that's it. Yeah, I know of the boxing commission scene from the trailer. :)

[mcdom89]

Btw rip joe

[rockybalboa101]

@mcdom89 RIP Smok'n Joe.

[mcdom89]

They shouldve made a special edition apollo creed in hid george washington wig and outfit

[rockybalboa101]

@mcdom89 That is the Apollo 1 of 100 I was telling you about. I don't have it.....yet. They only made 100, so it's hard to come by.

[mcdom89]

@rockybalboa101 no it wasnt wasnt it the 1 from rocky 4 with the hat?

[rockybalboa101]

@mcdom89 No, Apollo wore his George Washington outfit in Rocky 1. He had a white wig and blue jacket, with red and white. In Rocky IV, Apollo had an American flag top hat and coat. If you watch my review of the Hot Toys Apollo Creed, you will see what he looked like in Rocky IV. :)

[GothChristianPatriot]

The jaw on mic is a lil bit off.

[rockybalboa101]

@GothChristianPatriot Yeah, I noticed that too. I think they were going for the slight snarl Mick has. You can really see it in Rocky III.

[dacommentr]

Lol I don't know what happend to Rocky's Italian Trunks after Rocky II

[rockybalboa101]

@dacommentr :D

[jrdnr87]

how much do you think youve spent on all your rocky figures? i want them all but there are some expesnive figures,

[rockybalboa101]

@jrdnr87 On just the Jakks Pacific Rocky figures (not the Hot Toys), I'd say roughly around 900 dollars. I can guarantee you though, that they are worth more than that now. Some of my figures go for 100 bucks. I know at least 2 of my figures are worth around 200 dollars.

[badtwoface]

@rockybalboa101 Which two Jakks Pacific Rocky figures are 200 dollars?

[rockybalboa101]

@badtwoface The Santa Paulie and Bronze Statue are worth a lot, though I can't say for certain you would have to spend 200 for each. I have seen both go for around 200 a few times.

[bfcleo7]

I love the apollo's in this series and that is probly the best paulie (apart from santa paulie) that rocky training figure should of been the best one but they made his face look like an indian

[rockybalboa101]

@bfcleo7 LOL...indian. The really messed up that figure didn't they. :D

[INTIMEFILMPRODUCTION]

the other ones look great!!!

[rockybalboa101]

@INTIMEFILMPRODUCTION Agreed. I really like the Apollo head sculpt.

[INTIMEFILMPRODUCTION]

sorry bud---what I meant was the 'training Rocky'---too bad they made it to look more like Colin Farell

[rockybalboa101]

@INTIMEFILMPRODUCTION I knew which one Chris. If you look close at it, it has facial hair shadow! And you're right. It does look like Colin Farell, lol!

[rockybalboa101]

@INTIMEFILMPRODUCTION And I agree. It is a terrible sculpt of Stallone/Rocky.

[INTIMEFILMPRODUCTION]

cool---too bad the training Rocky's head was messed up-otherwise, very nice!!!

[rockybalboa101]

@INTIMEFILMPRODUCTION Thanks for the comment. I was just looking at the training figure the other day and thought, "why the hell does Rocky have 5 o'clock shadow?" I don't remember Rocky unshaven, lol. What were they thinking! Thanks again. :)

[vince18ny]

What figure would u keep if u had get rid of them like one from each series

[rockybalboa101]

@vince18ny If I could only keep 1 from each series? hmmm...it depends on if I get to keep my 25th anniversary 6 figure set. Lets say I can't keep the set. I would keep:

Series 1- Rocky pre-fight

Series 2- not real sure....Rocky pre-fight?

Series 3- Rocky pre-fight

Series 4- Rocky training figure

Series 5/6- tough...it'd be Rocky street fight or Rocky Balboa pre-fight

Best of Series 1- Apollo pre-fight probably

Best of Series 2- Tommy Gunn street fight

[vince18ny]

I got so lucky today I was the only bidder for rocky in coat and hat paulie and Micky Adrian went for to much but cool video your videos convince me to not the get training rocky with bad face lol

[rockybalboa101]

@vince18ny Congrats on getting the figures my friend! Rocky, Paulie and Mick are must owns. :)

[Rockyfan10060]

It took me FOREVER to finally track down and purchase the series one pre fight Rocky and Apollo. They were real expensive, too.

[rockybalboa101]

@Rockyfan10060 Glad you got them my friend.  I was lucky enough to get them before they became so rare. Love the robe for Rocky pre-fight.

[Rockyfan10060]

The robe is the best part! It's oversized and bagy, and it's got the em,at company on the back! Just a shamme that Jakks never made Robes for later figures Like Lang and Drago.

[rockybalboa101]

@Rockyfan10060 Totally agree with ya.

[TheDieHardkid]

why isn't Apollo's trainer Duke in it i mean he wasn't that big in Rocky 1, but bigger than Frank Stallone! Nothing you can do though..... great video:D

[rockybalboa101]

@TheDieHardkid Duke should have been in the Rocky IV figure line for sure, and also the Balboa line. Duke rules! Thanks for commenting also!

[schoolofrock8]

awesome.

[schoolofrock8]

does it come off?

[rockybalboa101]

@schoolofrock8 The robe? Yes. And its the same exact figure from the Best of Series with or without the robe.

[schoolofrock8]

do they have rocky when he is not beat up?when he is wearing theshorts when he versed apollo creed.

[rockybalboa101]

@schoolofrock8 Yes, there are 2 versions of that. The one I have is the red-robed Rocky. In the best of series 1 set, they re-released the red-robed figure without the robe. I didn't get that one because its the exact same figure minus the robe. Hope this helped!

[DA282]

i loled at Adrian with her mega-oversize coat

[rockybalboa101]

lol, you could fit 2 people in that thing!

[solidvercetti]

love your collection keep it up and great figures

[rockybalboa101]

Should have some more vids up soon.

[italia649]

i love these figs especially bruised rocky the training fig was terrible why u even bother byin

[rockybalboa101]

lol, I like to complete the entire collection.

[LTFilmMaker]

great poster

[rockybalboa101]

My dad made the frame for me. It is very heavy! The wall studs are holding it up.

[1980sToonGuy]

definatly the best series of all i see is £££££££££

they just seem to go up in price even the meat??. im so glad i stayed with em.

i did have to get them all as open figures as well as you can see in my videos.

look forward to seeing the more videos

[rockybalboa101]

Thanks for the comment. My "the Meat" is the only figure I have not "mint". It arrived to me with damaged carding. I carefully glued it together because like you have said, the prices for even the Meat are crazy!

[whitechocandy]

Easily the best series in the line. I'm glad I bought these figures when I did. They're really difficult to come by now.

Great review!

[rockybalboa101]

Thanks again! I just got the Rocky Statue 1/1000 Philly give away, so I will post up a review of that soon.

[rockybalboa1fan]

im trying to collect rocky figures but i can't find rocky in his robe for series 1 i want it and the training cause now they don't have series 1 anymore now it's series 2 and others

[rockybalboa101]

Yeah, those 2 figures are hard to come by anymore.

[flagmaster676767]

I can't find barely any of these figures online. Try and find Apollo Creed from Rocky 1 online! It's impossible! It always ends up as him in his beach training gear or him from Rocky IV in the white gloves. No good XD. I'm getting the Rocky 1 & 2 minimates collection. Not all bad :P Then i'll get Rocky IV+ Figures hopefully. You're awsome!

[rockybalboa101]

Thanks again flagmaster676767. If you look in ebay stores underneath the regular auctions, I recently saw some Creeds from Series 1 available. But they usually run $100.00! Glad I bought mine when it first came out for $8.88 at Wal-Mart!!

[rockybalboa101]

Thanks ItalianStallion99. I'm trying to get the Rocky HotToys collection, but they are SO expensive. Thanks for watching!

[TheItalianStallion99]

I want so many of those figures but cant get hold of them in the UK :@. Great vids loving them keep em coming. =]

[rockybalboa101]

thanks friend!

[MovieReviewTime]

haha nice review keep them coming man!
