Stallone line - First Blood Rambo released

The First Blood with the army jacket and the duffel bag is sick as ****, I'm waiting for the shipment email, I'd love to see the rest of Rambo figures as well.

Dean and Justin should have just given an honest review. Maybe it was part of the condition of them getitng the figure they give it ten out of ten. If Dean had just said it was a ok figure no problem, but giving it 10 out of ten. I don't think so. Just saw Justins review, clearly saying the headscuplt. and Likeness are on point then going on this guy is troubled. It is like he's reading the same script Dean was. What a pair of bozos.


Lets hope the Three Zero one is as good as the pics cause I will buy that even though I have their Rambo 3. I liked Deans Horror reviews, they were different. Quite liked Justins as well, but last time i watch them for a review. Unboxing thats fine but thats all. Any idea who to watch that gives honest reviews?

' Looking the way you do, you're asking for trouble round here, friend '

Its not terrible by any means but the oversized chest reminds me of the 1995 luke skywalker figure.

Yeah, I really like the drifter look too. That’s where I’m torn. I like the look of this figure, but the Threezero release will probably be better overall.

Although funny, someone should change the title of this thread as its sarcasm might be misinterpreted and used by Nick to promote his 10/10 figure.

Should we start the intervention now or later? We all have to heal. How do we move on from this trauma?

Banging my head against a brick wall couple times a day seems to help. …a bit.

These Happy Cookies are my favorite cookie recipe of all time. Seriously. Everyone I’ve made them for have absolutely fallen in love with them. What did I name these named Happy Cookies? Because everyone who eats these cookies just gets happy. Really, really happy. Plus, Happy Cookies sounds a lot better than rolled oat cookie bars topped with chocolate and nuts.

If you’re going to someone’s house, it’s a lot easier to say, “I’m bringing Happy Cookies” instead of “I’m bringing rolled oat cookie bars topped with chocolate and nuts.”

And, if you know me, they’re easy too. I can’t do anything that’s super difficult or time consuming. These are neither of those. Plus, there’s a very good chance you have all the ingredients at home. So if you want to make these on a whim, there’s a great chance that you can.

Happy Cookies (aka rolled oat cookie bars topped with chocolate and nuts)​

What You’ll Need:

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 stick unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 to 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 to 3/4 cups walnuts

What You’ll Do:

Pre-heat your oven to 400.

Mix the rolled oats and brown sugar together in a large bowl, making sure to break up clumps of the brown sugar.

Melt the butter, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt together in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Stir constantly as it’s melting.

Pour the butter mixture over the oat mixture.

Stir until combined.

Pour the mixture into a 9×9 non-stick pan.

It’s a lot easier to use your hands to make sure that the oat mixture is spread evenly into the pan that way.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.

Take the pan out of the oven when the edges are a caramel color.

The batter will still be bubbly. That’s okay.

Top the oats with the chocolate chips. You should be okay with 1.5 cups of chocolate chips, but more chocolate chips works too.

Put the pan back in the oven for about a minute until the chocolate chips start to melt.

Use an icing spreader to spread the chocolate evenly on top of the oats.

Chop the walnuts and spread them on top of the melted chocolate.

Use the pack of a spoon, or your fingers, to push the chopped walnuts into the melted chocolate. If you don’t do this, the walnuts won’t stick and will fall off when you serve them.

Let the cookie bars cool completely before cutting and serving.

Have we seen any updates on the ThreeZero FB figure? They knocked Rambo III out of the park, but I don't see the appeal of their FB prototype at all. The hair looks totally wrong and the physique is far too bulky.

Nick is a clown and his figure is overpriced at $260, but I get way more "hey, that's First Blood!" neuron activation when looking at what he's done versus ThreeZero's prototype.

I’ve been following this one. No updates but Sideshow has this one listed as shipping in Aug - Oct.

So where's DFC? I thought he'd be having a field day with this release...

I've been following the thread (it was funnier before the figure was actually released...) and watched the reviews, and while not a bad figure, it's certainly not a 10/10. It looks about on par with most of KP's releases, which are not bad, except for not-up-to-latest-standards paint apps and likeness.
I think the whole outfit and accessories look pretty cool (except for the knife, that is). As some have already stated, there was just too much hyperbole and over-the-top claims leading up to the release, and that just guarantees an equally vocal response once reality fails to meet expectations.

I think if I were a Rambo fan I would get this figure after the reviews. It may not be perfect, but it's a fine rendition of the character.

I might be in the minority, but I might order this figure after watching Justin's review.

It does look a decent figure, just not a 10/10. If Justin and Dean had not gone so overboard with their praise for this fig it would be fine, if they had mentioned the shortcomings fine but there are clearly issues with the figure that prevent it from reaching the heights of a 10/10.

I am really just questioning the objectivity involved when you get a freebie, especially knowing that Slyshop intend to release more figs.
It must of crossed both their minds, if I give a really positive review then they will send me another freebie.

So are they shipping the figure already? Or these guys got it earlier cause they do review Toys?!

I've seen threezero and I'm not pleased with First Blood, Rambo III looks OK.

Basically if you sell out like this guy and you are clearly not giving an honest review, then expect people to call you out. People are usually good at smelling bull$hit.

Watched deans vid and watched justins review.
Firstly dean what a crybaby jesus.
Its all good when people agree with him but have your own opinion and you are a troll.

If that is disrespectful than maybe nick shouldnt be breaking off disrespect to the people he wants to sell to either.
And if you give figures to 5year olds like nick does, then by all means they shouldn't have metal knives but this is an Adult collectable.
Plus lets ban all knives or small sharp objects that may cause damage then.
Hey lets give rambo flowers while were at it.
That is total bs they cheaped out on the knife and made a bad plastic one.
Neither showed it in his hand.
Look at what's shown proto and what they made
Plus dean didnt address the sculpt being wrong just the paint apps around the eyes. So the company vasucalky are trying to do damage limitation but wont or cant at this point retool and do another sculpt.
Wish they would so I can buy it.
It is what it is and can only see the mass produced ones being worse.
Also saying people wanted this to fail is not entirely true.
Yes some did, me not being one.
I didnt preorder this or the threezero as both have issues imo.
Held off on the rambo 3 from threezero until they did a second run and fixed the horrible proto sculpt.
If this company KP and Slyshop learn by others then they gotta take the critics opinions as they are the ones who will buy or not.
Trying to be manipulative or gain sympathy is just pathetic, you make or try to sell something people are gunna tell you if it aint right.
The customer is always right.
If you choose to ignore that or try and trick people you will be exposed.
Justin is a coward sat back let dean take the heat and then did his review as usual but adding its honest opinion blah blah.
It did look better in justins vid only because it is always spinning and lit better.
Compared to the arnie dx10 it looks massive.
Yes nick body scanned sly recently but hes not that big in 1981/82 when first blood was filmed in my eyes anyway.
This is all opinion if people want to get the figure then they will no matter what.

Yeah the height / size issue is bothersome to. The figure being bigger then the DX10 is pretty silly. Arnie is supposedly 6'2'' or he was in his prime. Sly is 5' 9½" Although some doubt he is that tall. Plus Stallone was fairly lean in FB, not really a big guy like Arnie was.


Im guessing the Sly body does not have the scars like he does in the movie, from his time in Nam.
Now that would make it a 10/10 fig

Am I the only one who likes this figure here? It looks amazing.

Gotta say the toxicity here is disappointing. It's a harmless toy. No need to be childish and attack people for it.

They probably weren't interested in maintaining scale with any other particular figures. Then again, we know that Hot Toys has been making figures bigger in recent times and figures like MMS117, 136 DX10 etc are now a bit on the small side compared to the latest output. So this Rambo might scale OK were Hot Toys to make an Arnie figure today....which they won't.
