Posted on the WWE figures forum, not here though... As I mentioned in the thread there... they are good, but need work. Here are my edits(with paint, hence the crappiness): Basically showing that the shorts, and boots need work. Not to mention Apollo and Rocky's torsos are too big.

I am intrigued as to how roided up theyre gonna make ole micky. I've been wondering that myself. I hope they don't have him all big like the rest. I love Micky, and want the figure badly. But I REFUSE to buy a burgess merideth that is as bid as Hulk Hogan.

Mickey, Adrian, and Paulie will certainly be interested to see... they are going to have to make new parts for at least some of those figures... why not a new shorts mold.

I hope those aren't the finished products. Rocky looks like Alfred Molina, and Apollo looks like Little Richard.

Another thing that has been bothering me... why is apollo's afro glossy and smooth?

I hate to say it, but these are unacceptable. The attire isn't right, Rocky and Apollo's head scans don't look accurate, and I hate that Clubber's gold chains are a single molded piece.

The potential is there... the execution needs to be better. They look like Rocky wrestling figures.

Give me some parts, some sculpting compound, and some paint, and I'll whip up what these should look like... You can see the potential, they just look rushed.

I'm not going to buy a rushed product. Maybe Jakks thinks they can half ass this line like they do with the WWE figures, but I refuse to buy sub par figures.

I'm weak... I'd probably buy them if they gave Ivan Drago jet black hair(heck, they did it with flair...).... But I am attempting to get them made correctly.

Oh, I'd probably pick it up if they showed improvement later on. But in all honesty, I don't see a lot of promise based on what we've seen. I can't understand why they'd spend all that money on the license, and the likeness rights, makes plans for several waves, and then not want to do it the right way. If it's a money thing, I know I'd personally pay another two dollars per figure, if they were done right.

Whoever was in charge of handling and transporting those figures there should be fired. Another thing that has been bothering me... why is apollo's afro glossy and smooth? It isn't, the white spots are where the paint chipped off of it.

They really need to fix the shorts. The heads look good though.
Did Mr T ever actually wear his gold in ther movie?

I really really wish another company had picked up this license because there is no way I am going to bother picking up this line inless these are overhauled completely. I may only be new to the Rocky scene, but I loved it enough to definitely pick up a figure line, but these are terrible.
I really wish NECA had secured the rights.

I'll probably just get Rocky, I don't like how they're RA. Another company should be doing these.

Jeremy said that those aren't the final sculpts for Rocky and Apollo. I do think that Brian's edits would look much better on the actual figures. I think Apollo's hair is only shiny because of whatever sealer they used on the proto. None of Jakks' past figures have ever been that shiny.

I'm even fine with the heads... I'm just not big on the torso selection, and they need a new boxing shorts sculpt for this line... even just one new sculpt... I'm not being greedy, I'm not asking for a new sculpt for each figure

I better short mold could possibly RA15 Coach if they are going with this style of figures. I love Roky, but probably won't buy many of these due to space constrctions
