I got into the Rocky line late last year. It wasn’t something I thought I’d have any interest in since the initial pictures I saw made them look like statues from the waist down, which can happen with NECA products. After doing some info-digging, though, I found that they were fully poseable underneath the shorts, which immediately perked up my interest. I’ve only seen a couple of the movies, but after impulse-buying the Blu-Ray set and knowing myself pretty well, I decided to save myself the hassle and pick up as many of the figures as I could. I’m still missing some, but the purchase was well worth it. Now to make time to watch the movies…
While they’re not as poseable as your average Marvel Legends, what is there is fully functional. The “elbro” styled arms can get into any boxing pose you’d need, and the shorts are flexible enough with ball jointed hips that they can get into any boxing stance you’d want. In short, they do what you’d need them to do, no more, no less. And they look great.
Most of these can still be found at Amazon.
