So this must be the first piece in their 'Superb Scale' line I wondered about not long ago on the Bruce Lee thread. Nice.

It's only natural they would have chosen the street clothes*, since that's the only way they could hide the seam between the body and the PVC head sculpt. That gives me hope about a First Blood statue.

There's something that's bugging me, though - that Itakon article mentions the statue will have "a certain degree of articulation" (una statua dotata di una certa articolabilitÃ-).


* That's the look they are reportedly going for.




And it seems it will be some kind of a dio. Oh, and apparently his dog Butkus will be included, too.

Not sure of the reason for Street Clothes vs the more iconic Boxer, but will get this nonetheless provided it's 1:4 and not 1:3 like the Bruce Lee.

This is great news, street clothes Rocky is the one that I have been waiting for years, never understood why this iconic look was never made before. I hope they give you both street looks, the long leather jacket and the tiger jacket with the sleeves rolled up and the studded bracelets. I heard Butkus the dog comes with it, the best thing about the whole thing is it's 1/4, perfect size for this, the base looks awesome.

Anybody have any idea what Blitzway will price this at?

Any updates on this? If this comes out as good as Bruce Lee I'll be all over this.

I been trying to find out any updates and nobody knows anything, I cant wait to get this, since Blitzway doesn't even have it on their site yet I would assume the earliest this well be released is July of 2014 or even a year from now.

Awesome news from Blitzway! Can't wait.

Too bad the Bruce Lee isn't 1/4 scale - it would be perfect with my other 1/4 scale PF's.

I have the opposite thinking. While I don't mind 1:4, I would have prefered 1:3
