See, now I like the idea of a box set (or two) far greater than a whole line of Rocky minimates. Trying to put out seven or eight figures at a time over a series of waves would end up suffering from the "How many Sylverster Stalone minimates do I need?" syndrome. This way, you get Rocky and a few of his friends, then later perhaps Rocky and a few of his greatest battles.
And what greater accessory than a slab of beef?! Any chance there's a bigger picture somewhere? -------------------- |

Man, I love this set! I see a nice Luke Cage fix mixed in as well
 , And all the other new parts, and accessories(now I'll have to make a tiny freezer to keep the beef in, so it doen't rot) I like the box set idea as well, would like to see a 2nd one with Apollo and Paulie in there. Looking forward to the rest of the gang, like Drago, Thunderlips, And clubber Lang too!

I actually like this. I'll need a couple of sets - one to keep, one mostly for parts.

Cool Cool looking boxset!
Like Reideen I'd be picking up a couple one to keep and one for parts. I need someone for Rocky to fight though, hopefully as said there'll be a second set with at least apollo creed  T. -------------------- "Look at you, hacker.

All righty, the got the side of beef into the set! A box set is a great idea, the perfect way to sell these guys. Oddly enough, this is definitely on my "must buy" list. huh.
Any one have a link to a bigger picture? -------------------- You were too busy buying stuff to get anything for free. -- bhm

Very nice. I can't wait for my Mickey to encourage Spider-Man to get the frak up and start wailing on those Centurions!
I'd like to see the next box have one beat-up Rocky and three opponents. -------------------- - Jad

I guess I'm hopping on the bandwagon with these - I'll be buying two as well. Funny how these were not even really on my "must have list" before and now have moved up considerably. I'm such a pushover for mini's.

I've got a FEVAH!
And the only perscription is Rocky Minimates. I liked the 'waves' more, if only to get some opponents. After seeing Rocky Balboa, the old addage of "only being as good as your enemies" applies. Now, Rocky is meat, but Rocky could've been (a contendah) Apollo-Clubber-Drago. Think about it

Like Fujis, I'd love to see a boxing ring playset, perhaps with an exclusive minimate. I'd also use it whenever my Galactica minimates need to settle some personal grievances!

Now this makes alot more sense than selling these individually or in 2-packs. I originally had little interest in this line, but look forward to picking them up now. For such a small photo, they look really nice. Great accessories, and the price is reasonable. If no ring is solicited, it would be cool if the box could be converted into a ring.

Great nice little set. I'll be happy to pick these up, at least a case.
I'll be sure to be putting in my order either Friday or this weekend. The same goes for Marvel 15/16 and DC wave 5. -------------------- ==================================================================

I too may have to pick these up so my two Adamas can do some sparring if they'd like.
