Those Rambo figures from NECA were the first ones that seriously introduced me to figure collecting. I have all the ones that were released in the series, but the last movements with the character were erratic. The first version of Rambo-FB2 came without the bow, which they later decided to add (in red) in a version with video game colors and later, already in black, in the exclusive edition of 2015 tribute to Force of Freedom (which by the way did not correctly represent the appearance of the character in the series: for example, the headband should have been red). They had considered the tanktop version ("Bow Attack"), but ultimately didn't release it recognizing that Rambo didn't sell as well as other characters. I remember that there was a little debate about whether the character's time had passed, but there were also doubts about the policy that NECA had followed with the form and order of its releases.
I do more or less the same thing, rotating my fields of interest over time (for some time now I've paid special attention to the military again, with several brands launching good pieces), and also adding other scales with regard to collecting figures (I think almost all scales up to 1/6, in fact). Regarding Ash, I'm really sorry about what happened with Asmus..........

But you know what bothered me about the part 2 version, the knife, the blade was entirely silver, instead of black. I couldn't believe they didn't care enough to give his signature weapon the right color.
Yeah, that was very disappointing. It's a detail that they were able to take care of easily, even more so considering that when they want they pay a lot of attention to the details in their figures. I think they didn't take care of this Rambo line enough.I like the Neca Rambo figures. They nailed the hair.
Did you know that back in the 80's they were going to put Rocky in the GI Joe line, not the Green Beret who was a pop culture action icon of the 80's, but instead, a mentally challenged boxer.

I like how they still gave the figure and the artwork the Rambo headband.

Agree! And Las Vegas option would allow us to share photos on Instagram that would rival those of the agent in sophistication and bottles of alcohol...
Yeah not cheap to get it to Ireland.
It would be a similar amount, right?
That’s because Boomers and Gen Xers were a lot more chill than the overly sensitive and uptight Millennials and Gen Zs, who seem more prone to Cancel Culture and unjustified outrage due to how something makes them FEEL.
Interesting approach. Sociological changes that have possibly come from the hand of an increasingly overprotective education. I think a few days ago they have banned the reading of the comic Maus in a school because it includes a couple of swear words and a nude. General trend seems to be pushing us to be like the humans on the ship in the movie Wall•E.
