Man I love rocky but HCG has horrible likeness. They totally butchered rocky with that bust, looks nothing like him.

What a huge disappointment, Bruce Lee was bad but this is just plain awful. I had just such high hopes for this piece and the likeness is just off and thats such a pity.

HCG PLEASE DO NOT RUIN THE CHRISTOPHER REEVE BUST!

I'm a huge Rocky fan and collector of Rocky and this bust doesn't even look like Stallone I think Edinho Maga was the sculptor because he does all the Rocky statues for HCG, you have to wonder why HCG didn't tell him to re do it when they saw how bad the likeness was

Anybody have any idea how much this is going to cost? I really don't think anyones buying this bust, really sad because if you collect Rocky you don't have many collectibles if any being made, the entire SDCC only had this Rocky bust, so that's it for this year.

I just can't believe they sat there and looked at it and thought "that just looks like Sylvester Stallone to me, paint it up!"

Surely someone said "that looks ----ing nothing like him!".

I'll admit I'm not the biggest Rocky fan (probably no where near as much as some of you other guys), but the bust in the video (albeit a bit choppy) looks like Rocky to me
