Best ing news I have heard in a long time. Being a HUGE Rocky fan, this is amazing. I can not wait to pick these up. Than you JAKKS. Finally, worrying about something else besides those god awful WWE Figures.

Its great to hear that Rocky will finally have some figures. I would have hoped McFarlene would have made some, but props to Jakks & Jeremy for getting the job. No doubt I'll be picking some of these up. I wonder if they will come out around the time of the movie? I havent heard a date for the movie though

I'll get most of the main characters, I'm sure. I'm a huge fan of the movies, especially the first. It is among my very favorites.
If i get any figures from the new movie though, it'll just be Tarver. I'll most likely pick up all the classic Rocky figures. except maybe some from V, I'll wait and see how they all look to decide 100%. Let's just hope they don't screw these up like they did the Van Helsing figures. Sure, the movie sucked, but it could have made for figures.

WOJC you must have Tommy Gunns and Rocky swerve everyone and team up to take on the newly face Drago and Apollo for the Boxing Tag Titles...
Yes, all 4 men in the ring boxing at the same time...

I still hope they do playsets. I want that snorting bull platform from Rocky 4.

What'd they say the release date was, December? If they do a good job, I'll buy most of them. I don't think anything will take away from my Marvel Legends collecting though.

Feb 2007 for rocky 6, then they will start with rocky 2-5 every few months... by the end of 07 we should have em all.

They have to be REALLY bad in order for me not to get them... if they are basically modded RA wrestling figures with boxing attire, I can live with that if the likenesses are good. They do need to make new parts though, as the shorts back then were pretty small in length... and they need to get the boots/socks right.

I may have to hurt somebody if the tag line features the phrase "Eye of the Tiger", or the boxes use it more than once, simply because everyone is dragging that whole song/Rocky connection through the dirt.

You'd hope they would get rights to scan the actors. Burgess Meredith hasn't been dead that long, dig his ass up, and real scan it.

I saw some different WWE figures this weekend. They looked liked the were fairly articulated too. Deluxe something. Anyway, they could use those bodies.
