I thing the celebrity thing is pretty much them saying "Yes, we'd like to make a Classified Fridge Perry and there's a shot at making Rocky to go with a Big Boa".
I wouldn't look much further into it than that. |

I kinda hope you're right and I tend to agree that they were likely trying to appease the person who asked the question by saying nothing is off the table. I'm from the Philly area, so naturally I'm on board for a Rocky figure. But I would understand if most people weren't.

I have zero interest in wrestling. And I'm skipping Slaughter, who I hate because of his awful cartoon portrayal.
Any celebrity figure they make would be a skip for me too. But I have lots of skips already and it grows every time they do new reveals. I bet I only order preorder Cover Girl in this next wave of five figures.

I dunno. I would honestly prefer they stay away from wrestlers. I would actually be pretty disappointed if they wasted a figure slot on a John Cena or CM Punk figure. It'd probably be the first figure I'd skip. I couldn't care less about wrestling. Judging from a lot of people's avatar pictures here, I'm probably in the minority of Joe / Wrestling fandom crossover.
That said, adding Rocky is an entirely different story...

I wouldn't mind other celebrities being adapted into Joe characters as a way of drawing attention to the brand, but as was pointed out earlier, living people could be problematic. If Hasbro did sign some names I'd want them to be separate crossover releases like the Fortnite Snake Eyes. If you don't want it, it's not a big deal to skip it. |

I'm just not interested in a lot of the weirder or weather-based Cobra troop builders, Dreadnoks, or later Joes. My recent skips so far are the Blue Ninjas, the v2 Timber two pack, Kamakura, and Slaughter. And I will be skipping Serpentor, the repainted BBQ, the red BAT, and probably the repainted Outback too.

The Rocky thing is weird, but I understand the connection to Big Boa. I still think Rambo makes more sense as a G.I. Joe figure.

You should be encouraging me to skip Serpentor. If I got him, it would just be for later resale purposes.
I just don't like the character. Cobra is all about Cobra Commander. I don't want anyone else put forward as a leader or a competitor in terms of attention.
