drgnrbrn316 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyc Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 And what greater accessory than a slab of beef?! When you release the slab of beef as a completely seperate stand alone "figure", such as in the large scale Jakk Pacific line... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Workout Rocky's got a beany hat! Luke Cage must have a beany hat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous Rex Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reideen1313 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I actually like this. I'll need a couple of sets - one to keep, one mostly for parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappy Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jad Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newaddict Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 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.

Fujis Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Any one have a link to a bigger picture? I'll second that. Thanks for the info Ady. Love the idea of a box set. I really hope this continues to at least Rocky IV - Ivan Drago was my favorite Rocky villian. And I wonder if we'll see a Boxing Ring playset?

AdyCarter Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 Any one have a link to a bigger picture? I'll second that. Cant help Im afraid... next week when Previews hits there will be better kicking around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jad Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubya Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazing.JL Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samwise Gamgee Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I too may have to pick these up so my two Adamas can do some sparring if they'd like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O.B Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Excellent box set, do you think its inspired by Rocky 1 or Rocky as a whole. Could other box sets represent each film. I'll definetly pick two of these up, so that luke cage can have a proper hat, and I can make a Balrog minimate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
