He was in the gi files comic, and big boa was suppose to be rocky, but they changed it to who we have now

Coulda sworn that they changed it to big boa because of licensing issues (I actually think it was a battle because of the Rambo figure line actually) or something on the lines. Coulda sworn I saw a prototype sculpt (which they eventually covered with the helmet we all know)and everything. My memory is weird, but I do remember them (whoever I saw the story) specifically said that it was definitely rocky, hence the name big boa, as in balboa.
But who knows. I’m not really trying to argue any point.

One of the former Hasbro guys talked about it in a podcast. They wanted Rocky for GI Joe and he appeared in the Marvel Comic Order of Battle character profiles, but later retracted and no deal done after Rambo went to Galoob or Coleco something like that. Hasbro should have pursued Rocky & Rambo.

It would’ve been funny as shit to see an intro with everybody shooting (and missing everything) while rocky in his American flag shorts runs through a crowd of cobra soldiers, knocking them all out with punches (in gloves no less)!
I guess we just had to settle with ol’ slaughter taking up that mantle. I remember getting the fridge through mail order, so I can imagine getting rocky possibly the same way. Hahaha
