<br/><font color="#0000ff">While back I reviewed an older Hot Toys figure, their John Rambo from First Blood. He wasn't perfect, but I was relatively happy. Lots of folks wanted to know why I hadn't bought either of the other Rambos released by HT, based on films 2 and 3. The answer to that was quite simple - those movies blew chunks like Britney on New Year's Eve. </font></p><p><font color="#0000ff">But the original film was more than just a classic. It was a great action movie. No wonder Stallone, who has had some issues with getting a decent movie out in the last decade, is returning to his roots to find success. From the trailer, I have high hopes for next year's Rambo 4...but only time will tell.</font></p><p><font color="#0000ff">Until then, we still have the original to enjoy. Hot Toys has just released a second Rambo based on First Blood, and this time he comes in truly his canon look, wearing the M65 jacket and carrying the bedroll.</font></p><p><font color="#0000ff">This figure has been shipping for a month or so internationally, but just started coming out of Sideshow in the last week (where I had ordered mine). Jeff Parker did a recent </font><a href="http://www.mwctoys.com/REVIEW_121007b.htm"><font color="#0000ff">guest</font></a>
<font color="#0000ff">review</font><font color="#0000ff">, but I wanted to throw my two cents in as well. Expect to pay around $75 for him, depending on the retailer.</font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><b>Sculpting - ****</b><br/>I had an issue or two with the original FB Rambo sculpt, but this one is a huge improvement. I think it's the best Rambo Hot Toys has done so far, with the classic Stallone eyes captured extremely well.</font></p><p><font color="#0000ff">He even looks good in profile, which is often a problem for sixth scale likenesses. The long hair is nicely detailed, and the expression is world weary without being extreme.</font></p><p><font color="#0000ff">The hand sculpts are a smidge dull, coming across more generic and G.I. Joe-like than I'd like. They also don't do a terrific job holding the accessoris (aka the knife), but they're adequate.</font></p><p><font color="#0000ff">The size of the head, hands and boots are all proportionally accurate, and this adds to the realistic appearance in photos.</font></p><p><font color="#0000ff">In fact, this Rambo is SO good, that I'll be selling off the original version on Ebay. I really only need one John Rambo, and this one is the definitive version.</font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><b>aint - ***1/2<br/></b>Some aspects of this paint job are outstanding, and he was *this* close to getting four stars here as well.</font></p><p><font color="#0000ff">The beard stubble is particularly well done. This is worth noting because it's an aspect that is so difficult to capture, and other companies have failed on numerous occasions. Here, it actually looks like he hasn't shaved in a few days, rather than looking like he has dirt smudged across his face.</font></p><p><font color="#0000ff">The head and face also have a matte finish, a big improvement over the glossy look we saw with early Hot Toys figures.</font></p><p><font color="#0000ff">My biggest issue here is the hair line. The skin tone rides up on the hair, especially along the sides, making it clear that it's paint. This was enough for me to pull him down that half star from perfection.</font></p><p><font color="#0000ff">Some folks may also have an issue with the skin tone itself, which is quite dark. Both the face and hands are much darker than the base body too, which makes the dark color all that more obvious. It wasn't a huge issue to me - he's going to sport a pretty serious tan, living outside and all - but it's worth noting.</font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><b>Articulation - ***1/2</b><br/>Most folks would give this body the full four stars, and I almost did as well. But the legs just didn't give me as much of a natural look as some past Hot Toys figures. Interestingly enough, I felt the same way about the first First Blood Rambo.</font></p><p><font color="#0000ff">The ball jointed neck works great though (Sideshow take note that he can look down), as do the majority of the rest of the joints. Hot Toys has very little to correct with this latest body, and Sideshow could do a lot worse than to go with their model.</font></p>
