KYB #4: Rocky Balboa

Know Your Brick #4: Rocky Balboa

I am not even going to try to introduce Rocky to you all because he is already too famous. A great story about an underdog fighting his way to the world championship. You can read all about Rocky Balboa on the Wikipedia.

It is a shame that I do not know which sequel this Kubrick figure was released for, but it does say "© 1976-2003 MGM Studio" on the back. Rocky V was released in 1990 and Rocky Balboa (VI) is a 2006 film, so I am really scratching my head.

So, what makes this figure special?

The answer is in the picture below. If you remove the hair, you will see the hidden smashed face. I didn't know it until someone pointed it out to me on the Kubricknation Forum. The same heavily smashed face is also available for the other character in the same box set, Apollo Creed.


Hope this post makes someone goes "OH!".

Note: The Italian Restaurant you see in the last film, is also called "Adrian".

(not sure if this is the championship belt)

(look who's sponsoring the gear?)
