I’m a huge Rocky fan and l have 8 Rocky statues in my collection and l was going to pre order this figure but before l did l did some research on Star Ace on some collectors groups and they all said the same thing, stay as far away from anything Star Ace does, the released version will be terrible, unfortunately they were right. You should return it. It is interesting that the base and dog are very good. You have to wonder how MGM studios could approved that for release. It’s beyond terrible and like you said it makes Rocky V look great lol.

So far, everything ( Stallone related movie figures) that has been released by The Stallone Shop so far, has been nothing short of amazing! From accessories to his head sculpt portrait, everything is just above and beyond.

Star Ace's figures are a mixed bag. Excellent tailoring, sometimes good accessories, and quality packaging. Their portraits for figures are just terrible in my experience. Their Scars of Dracula looks little to nothing like Christopher Lee. Their Bela Lugosi White Zombie has horrible paints, including the wrong eye color. Lugosi had blue eyes, yet they painted them brown. Despite the prototype being the correct color of blue. Sly suffered the same fate it seems with their Rocky release. Your honesty will save people from making a mistake in purchasing one. A lot of fans would make the apology tour with "It's not too bad".....but it really is. Sad.
