I remember all of these figures being cheap and plentiful at a stand at the Collingswood flea market about 10 years ago. I only have Drago in training gear and Lang and check eBay every once in a while for others but, the prices are usually too much for me. That takes me back, I havent been to that flea market in maybe close to 20 years, I need to take a trip back to Jersey one of these days

Finally getting a chance to start collecting the Jakks Rocky line, this is not a cheap line, to say the least lol really wish I picked these up back in the day from Kay Bee feels like this line didn't get the attention it maybe should have. but it's not without its faults. The card backs didn't show all the figs in a particular line, like Rocky 4, and the Joe Frazier figure has a Rocky card with a Rocky III back. also, some figs in the lines seem to have taken away from more deserving characters. Rocky had he aforementioned Joe Frazier as well as Frank Stallone as the street singer , which I find odd as they each have mere seconds long appearances in the first movie, whereas Rocky V had only TWO figures and could have easily added characters like Union Cane and George Washington Duke instead of Frank and Frazer. They could have also done a street gear Tommy to go with both Duke and Rocky in his street gear. Things like the meat and re-releasing a few figures in the Best Of waves and/or multipacks seemed unnecessary, but that's a standard in most figure lines. I was orignally planning to make these into DA/UFC customs to fit with the rest of my collection, but Ive been getting lazy with my customs list, not to mention considering what Ive paid for some of these I may want to actually keep them as is if the pricing keeps going the way it has been lol thoughts? Anyone else a fan of the line?

i made a stage and ramp out of foamboad and painted acrylic sheeting for accent pieces. its pretty sturdy and doesnt damage too easily, considering making one out of wood that i can possibly break down for easier storage

sanitizer. figure scalpers are trash, but theyre praying on hobbyists and collectors, in the end the victim of the scalper is just as cupable as the scalper themself since theyre still willing to overpay on something that isnt a necessity of any kind. the sanitizer is a little more important, especially with whats going on these days. theyre praying on fear and that is just terrible.

So Im looking to upgrade my 6-sided ring and give the frame a better look that is more like an actual ring. Mainly because I want to be able to use actual wood boards for the floor so i can create a trapdoor for putting wrestlers through the ring lol
I have some ideas on creating the frame itself, but my main issue is how the ringposts could be connected and what could be used for it, so if anyone has some suggestions Id appreciate it.

the first one is such an iconic attire and it indeed helped the CS line come to life, it was the first CS fig i bought and became one of my first custom DA figs

I love that Adam bomb and the Demolition. Where did you get the shirt accessory for Gangrel. I’m looking to make a Mattel Retro custom for Gangrel and just need to figure out where to score a decent shirt for him. I got it from Ralphs

cool, thanks man. its for a 20" six sided ring, the ropes i originally used were from a jakks RSR and they were actually a little to long so i had to actually trim them down, would that 25ft still be plenty?

Aiyt. =) I hate you right now lmao that is sick, I wanted to do that myself ever since i got my hands on one EC. Its nearly impossible to find a second chamber these days, when i do its an arm and a leg. Im planning to custom make the new chamber for my collection tho if i can get the measurements right, and can afford it lol
