hot toy's 1/6 apollo creed versus ivan drago
now seriously, i'd never have expected Hot Toys to expand beyond their initial 2 ROCKY figures [blogged] but mayhap "nostalgia" is indeed a lucrative notion and im sure for retro-Rocky-fans, a welcomed addition to their collection, 1/6th or otherwise :p
*more images and details after the jump*
the bout between Apollo Creed and Ivan Drago (Carl Weathers and Dolph Lundgren respectively, in Rocky 4) is figurerized in the 2nd series in Hot Toy's 1/6th Rocky Movie Masterpiece series [via] - with both slated for a 2nd quarter-release:
Apollo Creed is a 12"-er with clothes realistic to the movie (altho i can't really remember the hat :p LOL) and might make decent-ish kitbash-fodder for a Predator/Major George Dillon -figure base (not a convincing likeness tho) - but im thoroughly glad that there ARE muscled-AA bodies being produced, yeh? *heh*
whereas the surprising Ivan Dragostands towers at approximately 14" tall (*cool*), hereby providing some faith (in me) for the manufacturers, IMHO. well, either you could paint his hair black and do a Punisher, or take away his clothes and add a crossed-chest harness, a pair of fur-shorts, long hair and a sword, he might even swing it as He-Man, innit? LOL ... and yes, of coz a Red Scorpion works just as well too :p
but seriously, the reason i'd be getting thee guys (if i ever do) is when [1] i have spare money to spend [2] they're sold loose and with tremendous discount or [3] i need variety in my 1/6th bodies = and all are validexcuses reasons, mind ... *yep*
