Hey guys. So I was reading this thread awhile back about the unproduced Rocky Balboa figure....
http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...oa-review.html And I got an idea. What if Hasbro actually was able to get the rights to this figure and produce a finished product. It seemed lame that they had the sculpt done and cardart ready to go, and couldnt make it. I thought I would give it a try. So Im NO sculptur. Ive never really did any sculpting before so making a head from scratch like the one in the article wasnt gonna be easy for me. Believe me I tried. So instead I tried to find an ARAH head that looked the most like Sylvester Stallone. Somebody on another Rocky thread suggested that Tollbooth looked a lot like Rocky, so I went that route. I dremeled off his hardhat and sculpted hair and a headband like the cardart, not the original sculpture. I also modified his swivel neck to a ball joint style. For his body, I used a Guile chest, Big Boa arms and thighs, a Zandar waist, and Leatherneck feet. For the weapon, I decided to make it so it was both a staff with gloves (like the card art) and I made a baton with gloves with a toothpick and some plastic thumbtacks that I dremeled down to fit the toothpick. The result is that the gloves can be removed and put on the hands or stuck on the end of the staff for a weapon. After the figure was made, I turned my attention to the package. I wanted to make it look legit as possible, so I cut an eyelet out for the peg, something I usually dont do when I make cards. I want to thank GUNSLINGERCBR for his helping me out with getting the original art. The back is like the original 1987 packaging with a filecard. Anyway, here are some pictures. Thanks for looking!!
