    Rocky and friends

    Not sure if the juice will be worth the squeeze on these, but here's the gang ready for some clothes and touch-up. Drago is a robot fighter head with a mix of wrestler/Doc etc. Mrs. Drago is half Breyer and half FC. Please don't read anything into me using a dude head for Brigitte. Rocky, Clubber, and Apollo use the original Phoenix torsos and heads, wrassler arms dyed to match, and FTC legs. I also modified an LJN pelvis to make the Rock a little shorter. I have one more body done that's waiting on a Thunderlips head.

    I'm pretty anal about color matching on body parts and probably spent more time on these than I should have. I also wanted the bodies to do justice to how hard these guys worked to achieve those ripped abs with out the use of performance enhancing drugs:-)

    Drooling at this!!!! So far you're putting my Rocky and Clubber to shame! Love the modified bodies and wish I shared that talent for playing Doctor Frankenstein.

    Cool Drago head, please provide more info so I can include him in my hunt for an Apollo.

    I really like where these are going, especially the use of the original torso's. Cool idea. I'll be watching closely as you (hopefully) post more updates as you go.

                    I am really struggling on heads for Adrian and Paulie.

                        I wish that I had input on the heads. Maybe a Counselor Troi from Star Trek First Contact for Adrian? I think that these look great!

                          Thankfully Mego is bailing me out to a large degree here. I'll probably keep my bodies for Rocky, Apollo, and Drago - but I'm chucking my heads back in the parts box. I'll figure something out for Paulie and Adrian.

                            Don't feel too bad I finished making Rocky, Apollo Creed, & Clubber while trying to finish Thunderlips. Know I am going to wait and compare them when they come out.
