TOY NEWS FOR 6/9/2014 - NECA - ROCKY - 8-BIT ROCKY BALBOA

NECA has, so far, done a brilliant and well-received job of taking a lot of their existing figures and creating a highly stylized "8-Bit" video game version of them; that is, until now.

This Rocky looks pretty terrible. It doesn't have the cool and crazy paint job of their Jason Voorhees or Predator figures at all. This just looks like some kid got a hold of NECA's regular Rocky figure and just sloppily painted some crap on it.

I know that NECA is always looking for new ways to re-use old molds in order to keep costs of their product low, but in this case, they might want to think of something better to do with their Rocky figure mold.

He should be released in September for around $25.00
