Wow that’s fantastic! Really fantastic!

My wife was with watching a show about some Swamy cult in Seattle or Washington in the late 70s/early 80s. How they bussed in transients to register to vote so the towns folks could not vote them out, then dumped the transients all over the state to get ride of them. The first thing I thought of was,” Huh, I wonder if that’s why the sheriff was being such a dick towards Rambo.”

My wife responded, “wow yeah, now knowing the politicss of the area ot the time really changes the film.”

I was just curious if anyone who lived in the pacific north west was old enough to understand what was goining when First Blood came out if the local area felt that way?

WOW! You did a great job of capturing the essence of Johnny Rambo! "They drew first blood."

I love that movie and I recently read the book. In the book, the story takes place in Eastern Kentucky.
In any event, I love the OP's figure! Looks great. Although I would preferred one from Frist Blood
