So...enter Rocky! I know he’s still sporting the Rambo head, but I think this head is a little more iconic. And it has the built in headband.

ROCKY BALBOA

Hey now Rambo is freaking awesome! Leader of the Force of Freedom...Liberty's champion is unstoppable. I've been watching that recently so....

Great Rocky custom. Reminds me a lot of the cancelled Joe trainer figure we never got.

I love that Cobra Trooper! How did you get the head to look straight? Every time I've used a Marauder body the head gets stuck in that downward position like POC Recondo had.

Rocky looks great. Also, that Listen n' Fun Roadblock is wild, I love it!

I actually had to dremel the back of the neck a bit to allow the head to look up. Doesn’t look pretty back there, but it worked.

Listen & Fun Roadblock is EPIC! You always pull out a fun idea like this and then execute it to perfection. Love everything about him, paint job is super clean and the coloring is awesome.

Haha, if Rambo is the second coolest guy ever, Rocky is first! So funny seeing them combined and it totally works! Great accessorizing and paint job on him!

Then a bad ass new style of Cobra trooper! Loving the camo on the face and again, great build! Perfect companion for your boat.
