NECA Toys Rambo and the Force of Freedom SDCC 2015 Exclusive Action Figure Video Review

[@Retro_AO_1982]

Awesome!! I remember having the Coleco figure as a kid! Love this version by Neca!

[@edstar83]

Great review as always. Nice figure, but I think I prefer the head sculpt of the normal Rambo II figure though.

[@HOrseshoeM]

I live in Europe and I can remember the exact moment when my cousin brought me this vintage Rambo as a gift when I was a kid... for lots and lots of years he was kicking some Rattlor/Leech/Tung Lashor/Bebop/Rocksteady arses.. he was a true boss of my childhood! I would love to have him updated by some even-more-so awesome figure but this NECA one is just plane funny and has nothing to do with the throwback one as far as I can judge...

[@usamazahid3882]

I remember the Rambo cartoon. I watched it so much.

[@idstealer000]

I remember seeing this figure in Toys "R" Us, the packaging was well beat up and since I had the regular retail release I thought nah. I saw it I think a couple of times more after that but still didn't bite. So I was in the store one day and had a little extra funds so decided I was going to pick it up and have between the regular retail release and this one an Ultimate John J Rambo from First Blood Part II, but fate kicked me in the balls that day and it was gone. That's what I get for dallying around instead of just picking it up.

[@erikasoto385]

The gun that he has is a AK-47

[@somasaysmeep8281]

Fun fact :) A rambo is a type of apple.

[@proguninc4080]

The longer silver-tip arrows are just "regular" bladed arrows and the shorter bronze-tip ones are the explosive arrows. Have you never watched the movie?? Oh, and by the way.... that's not a "machine gun".... that's an AK47 rifle.

[@Cobralalalala]

I love the packaging, but I thing they dropped the ball on the figure. It's just the Part II figure with a new face. I also think the straight face would have worked better under the circumstances, even though it is a really good sculpt. If we got the red headband and rocket launcher I'd be trying my best to get it after SDCC. But as is, he'll likely be a pass.

[@marcustmachado]

Thanks for the review. Great job!

[@jasonmercado]

The figure is an exact replica of Rambo movie part 2. The packaging is based on that calico whatever it is.

[@rdominiack]

Good review Dan....But IMO i dont like it one bit. They did much better 1986. The colors are all wrong, the gun is wrong and face is weird looking. LOVE the vintage Rambo!

[@DragonPop64]

Great stuff. I want the video game version. Love that nes game lol

[@thelonebricker662]

So... the colors and accessories are wrong for this to be a true throwback. The only thing that makes this a Force of Freedom figure is the packaging. NECA should do better.

[@MegaSheen15]

Any figure with a bow and arrow needs to have butterfly joints for the shoulders and double jointed elbows

[@cheeno84]

+PixelDan Eardley I love neca soooooo much!!! Thanks to them, I can make super Mash Up!! Just imagine, Rambo and Arnold vs. Predator vs. Alien!! Just imagine that display!!! And all thanks to Neca and their love for action figures!!

[@raytheshredgod6987]

The machine gun is called an ak47 but cool vid

[@cheeno84]

Sweet Figure and an Awesome review!! Btw. That's the arrow he uses to blow up the helicopter, after they kill the gorgeous Vietnamese chick he fell for!!!

[@TheToyOdyssey]

RICARDO .A CABRERA He used that arrows to blow up I believe the military vehicles by the bridge and that one annoying soldier by the rocks with the terrible aim.

[@TOYMASTERFUL]

Did anyone realize that on the photo of the back package Rambo has a black 'Shirt' on....but this version doesnt.

[@Gothiczartan]

They gotta do the same thing for rest of the characters based on the Rambo cartoon from the mid 80s.

[@sebastiangarrido6573]

This toy ridiculously says for ages 17 and up if it's an Action figure I don't see why you'd have to be so old to buy it, Atleast my 17th Birthday is in 2 months

[@AB3L30NE]

I’m 12 and it doesn’t matter what age you are, it’s just that you have to be careful with figures.

[@jazzyjeff7431]

It said special thanks to Randy Ralk at the end.oh well mistakes happen.Still a great figure.

[@CubanPete1990]

Cool toy

[@peckerdecker]

necca rambo is more streamlined and narrow the original 1986 rambo is more wider i PREFER the 1986 wider and bigger rambo

[@bryanlee9960]

Great Job on everything but the face...

[@redlol123]

'MERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@theblocksays]

redlol123 LOL all that NECA needs to do is an homage to Chuck Norris and the Karate Komandos figure!

[@jordanharris903]

Omg yessssssssss!!!

[@MarkDemeo]

the packaging is great but,basically the only throwback to the vintage figure,fail.

[@TheToyOdyssey]

Mark Demeo It might not be an exact throwback to the vintage figure but it is an amazing figure. I just picked him up at ToysRus and have him posed with his bow and explosive arrow. He looks amazing. Finally a definitive NECA version of Rambo.

[@hectorsalinasisback]

This version of Rambo has a facial expression suggesting he just soiled his trunks.

[@MrCarpen7er]

They seem to have reused Tony Montana´s face.

[@BayushiGemma]

Love the fact they did a Force of Freedom packing but this figure from face, torso, to crotch just looks horrible. Neca needs to do a better job and stop recycling this ugly mold.

[@Vraptor140]

So it's just a movie figure in vintage packaging, since it looks near identical to the other Neca ones. Too bad.
