Jakks Pacific - Rocky Balboa figures

[Alas1]

Please tell me there's someone else going crazy for these new figures like I am!

Tell me I'm not the only one!

I have most of these now, just need half of series 1 (going for crazy money at the moment).

I have 2 of the Exclusive figures -

1 of 1800 Caveman Rocky II
1 of 1800 Wheelchair Rocky II (which is possibly the best figure ever made for less than $20 - my opinion of course).

I can't see much hope of me getting the 1 of 100 Apollo Creed though! Changing hands for a whopping £200/$500!!

There was also an exclusive figure given out at a Jakks press conference in Philadelphia to celebrate the reissue of the Schomberg Rocky statue at the steps of the Art museum out there. It's a 1 of 1000 Statue Rocky. It's basically a Rocky figure painted silver.
It was given away free to the lucky devils out there.
That's changing hands for £120/$230 on eBay (if you can find one).

I'm loving these new Rocky figures. It's about time!
I'd also love to get the scaled Rocky ring but the only seller in the US is ringside collectibles which charges $45 for airmail shipping to the UK...

Oh well, I'll probably get it sooner or later.

I've been hitting all the Wal-Warts and other stores in the San Antonio Area, and none of them have any Rocky figures, not even a place on the shlef for them.

I'll keep an eye out.

Oh, and send me a list of the figures you need, so I'm not hunting anything you already have.

Cheers,

Just Pmed ya John

Also looking for the Rocky Balboa 2006 "early release" figure too.

I recently found out that the series 1 figures have only just started showing up in stores in Australia. I asked a fellow RS buddy to look out over there for me too.

I just hope I can complete the set

I'm a huge Rocky fan too, and met Sly a couple of weeks back in London. He signed a Rocky photo for me, but would have loved to have got a figure signed - except I couldn't find any until it was too late.

The store near me is way too expensive considering Asda had them for £7.48 (or something) but now both Asda and Argos tell me they are not getting any more. I would love to get some more but am thoroughly skint at the moment. I'd love to get the Rocky from the Rocky Balboa series though, plus one of the robed Rockys. Is the James Brown figure gonna be limited?

I love these figures too.
I got most of Series 1 (still need Black Leather and Sweatsuit Rockys) & all of Series 2 from TRU and Suncoast. None of the Walmarts within 50 miles North or South of me carry these!
So instead of driving all over trying to piece together sets I resorted to ordering cases of 3 & 4 from cornerstorecomics.
Entertainment Earth is the only one saying that James Brown is being made. No signs of him at Toyfair either.

[Alas1]

Yeah, the Rocky IV figure series is pretty staggered at the moment.

No one seems to know 100% what it actually coming out.

There is talk of a Frank Stallone (street corner singer) is being released (like the Joe Frazier figure) in series 1 packaging...
Also Apollo Vs Drago figure.

Until there's pictures, I guess we'll find out sooner or later.

Actually they've been out for well over a month now but not in huge numbers so if you missed a figure your probably not going to see it again. Rocky was of course the most popular figure and the meat just warmed the shelves....what were they thinking?

Carl you just have to be kidding me ;^)! It's funny someone mentiond "the meat" as a few of us mentioned it as the worst figure of all time the other day ! Seriously though, let me know what you're looking for and I'll keep my eyes open for you.

Our Asda had a restock of Rocky II figures last night. Still no grey T Shirt Rocky though But finally managed to get Apollo and Battle Damaged Rocky.

[Alas1]

Hey Tim

I can see why some may think it's the worse figure ever
The meat ain't so bad !
Think of it more like an accessory to the grey tracksuit Rocky figure... {shudder}

I'm defending the worst figure ever made here that MUST show how crazy I am over these figures!
