I found my Ninja Stretch Armstrong the other night. Time has not been good to him, his leg somehow has deformed into a giant ball, looks like he has SERIOUS man problems.

Holy crap, that is one of the best, most accurate wrestling figures I have ever seen.

I don't get all the complaints, they look a whole lot better than Jakks.

It's because they're all anal retentive kids, they can't help it, they feel they have a god given right to stop change because they spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars a year. And by "they spend" I obviously mean they use their parents credit card.

If I were still collecting wrestling figures, I'd welcome any sort of change Mattel brought to the table. Jakks is notorious for burning their customers over and over. I've since sold off all my wrestling figures, but once in awhile I'll look at my Rocky figures and think about what could've been.

Has anyone seen the stuff Jakks has been putting out during this home stretch? It's pathetic. Most of them don't even have logos on their tights. And that's including Kane, the one figure they've released in IDENTICAL fashion 800 times before.

Reminds me a lot of the end of the Rocky line... they went all out for a series or two, and then got lazy, and cheap from Rocky IV-V especially.
Don't get me wrong, there are some brilliant figures in Rocky IV and V... but there could have been a few more, and produced better.

The Rocky line makes me wanna cry. I was more into the collecting of that shit than I was for wrestling figures...I was at Toys R Us about 3 times a week at LEAST looking for Rocky figs...then Jakks just straight up fucked me and everyone else over with not only the quality of some of the figs, but the distribution too. I got a good chunk of figures out of the deal, enough to be representative, but I wish I could've gotten them all. That was basically what made me quit collecting figures altogether.

I never saw another single fucking Rocky figure in stores past Rocky II, it was by the grace of God and Dinan that I was able to get half of the stuff I wound up getting.

Yeah, the Rocky line disheartened me so much, that I passed on a ring gear Drago for 4 dollars at Ross last year.

If you need a ring gear drago, send me your address, I have about 12 of the buggers.

I think I may have an extra, let me check when I get home next week. I know I have at least 10 Dragos.

That's okay Brian, half of my Rocky stuff is in the closet as it is. Thanks for offering though.
