So, from the pictures I've seen, he looks like an Indian guy with a bow to me.

I wouldn't go that far, but in general I agree with what you are saying

PCS has always sucked with environmental bases. The Ryu, Akuma, 1/3 Dredd, are all standing on a pile of rocks that looked deliberately made to be posed on.

I have Blitzway Rocky 2 as well, and I’m completely up in the air about which Stallone piece I prefer the most. And I consider that statue a masterpiece.
I forgot to mention the rotating base in my write up, it’s such a cool feature!
Have to love the 1/1 Buddha necklace also!
I’d definitely recommend the statue.

I just got mine and unboxed it today. Was pleasantly surprised! Its definitely a nice statue and looks great on display. I do think he is a little too brown though...makes him look native American.

Thank god, 10/10, I’m so much happier now lol!

LOL someone just mentioned that to me on Facebook. I was also happy with that...looks much better with the knife properly installed lol.

Not trying to be snarky at all, but if you were not aware of the characters bio, John Rambo is Navajo American Indian, Italian and German descent.
So the Navajo and Italian alone would definitely have the character looking dark, but then it’s the 80s, and Stallone was sweaty and 100% beach tan all the time lol.
TBH, I don’t find the skin to be too dark. But appropriately dark.
But I certainly respect your opinion

Thanks Joppula, I'm aware of the original character's roots from the book, however Stallone is not native American and doesn't look like it in real life or in the movie, so that's what I meant by the statue being a little too brown He's just a bit more brown than he appears in the film that's all. He was certainly on the tan side for sure, I just think the statue would've benefited from being a shade or 2 lighter. It's still an awesome piece though.
