I believe the most valuable is a Pauly variant where he is dressed in a Santa Claus outfit. I could be mistaken but I think there was only a couple of those released and they were released to Jakks employees only. There is also a Rocky bronze statue variant figure that is numbered to 20 or something. Again, I could be wrong but I remember those being pretty rare.

i think the statue one was 1/100
there was also the exclusive caveman outfit rocky. think that was limited to 3000. don't think it's too pricey to find though.
other exclusives i remember was the exclusive rocky/apollo 2-pack with the wheelchair. the 2-pack of drago and rocky.
and i'm pretty sure george washington duke from series 6 is kinda hard to find

I just received george washington duke and rocky in the wheelchair from Rocky II on Monday. The rocky in the wheelchair was hard to find. the paulie as santa that was the jakks christmas party gift recently sold on ebay in bid for $1100. too rich for my blood. a friend of mine has a thunderlips on an apollo creed backing, but he said he researched it and found there are many thunderlips with the apollo backing so it isnt rare.

The Rocky Statue is extremely rare. I believe there is a chase Adrian figure where she doesn't have her skirt suit I saw it on a site that shall not be named. The Santa suit Pauly and, Clubber Lang in both Street and boxing gear, Frank Stallone is pretty rare since I never saw him on the shelves. Also The Rocky V figures are hard to find. Jakks screwed up this line by making too many commentators and Announcers.

I had no idea George Washington Duke was rare.
When KB Toys was going out of business they had a bunch of Rocky figures clearanced out. I wish I had bought the Rocky Balboa figure they had....still kicking myself for that one.

I recently had a bit of luck. I found out a guy I played hockey with has a brother that moved out a few years back and they had some old rocky figures of his in a box upstairs. His brother said I could have what I wanted for $10 per figure I took. Which was fine as he was going to put them on ebay eventually anyways.
I found the Rocky as Gazzo's bill collector MIB which is one I was looking for as well as Clubber Lang in his street clothes MIB. The rest were all very dusty and in terrible shape.
I came across an interesting find. It was a Rocky Statue figure, but in a bag not the box. I took it as the bag was closed and did some research. Basically what I found is this is a Jakks Licensing Show Early Production figure. I saw above that it is listed as a 1/50 giveaway.
I have never seen the statue figure in the bag and was wondering if any one could give me some more info as to how rare this is or valuable it is and also what the difference between this "early" production figure and the 1/1000 released figure is and where it was given away in a bag.

It was mass released with a rocky figure and the kid's size title belt.

I have no idea. thats the story I found on it when looking it up a while back. One of the forums I went on was archived but the guy had a pic of his lang/rocky 2 pack with the belt and the lang was in deed a blue trunks lang. maybe it was an error? I will try looking for the forum again. Its such a pain. Most of the forums are archived or just hard as heck to actually bring up.

The rarest figure is the apollo creed 1 of 100. Only 100 available and super hard to get hold of still in the box. Next is the santa paulie 1 of 700. Issued to the staff of jakks, 200 in the US and 500 in china. Then it's the bronze statue figure 1 of 1000 which were handed out as part of "celebrate rocky week". There is also a 1 of 50 statue figure however this comes in a clear plastic bag and is not on card so personally not one that I would like to add to my collection.
