Ever since Star Wars changed the face of Movie Merchandizing we have seen a plethora of collectible toys, posters and memorabilia to fatten the pockets of the movie studios. And we eat it all up. One of the things I am looking forward to most about the Transformers Movie is the collectibles. My wife is already eying me suspiciously whenever I surf the toy sites.
But sometimes you can go too far. Jakks Toys has released a line of Rocky related collectable figures from the entire series. The lastest of these collectables is this memorable character from the first movie. The Meat.
Jakks produced this line of 6 inch action figures based on the characters in the classic Rocky films. (Some a bit more “classic” than others.) The line consists of 6 inch fully poseable and articulated action figures. This particular “figure” is the side of beef that Rocky punched bloody in the first film. Mmmm…tenderized. Also includes a bloody smock. How many figures can you say that about?
The scary part is, that it is Sold Out.
Thanks to Murnkay for the heads up.
