Sly the Perfectionist

In Star magazine’s “StarPeople” section Janet Carlton says that “SYLVESTER STALLONE is such a perfectionist that while remodeling his BevHills home, he bulldozed the pool and moved it to a sunnier location.”

First Look: Rocky Matchbox

Way back on January 15, 2000, we announced that Rocky would be given the star treatment with a special edition Matchbox car accompanied by a “big head” figurine. StalloneZone is happy to provide a preview of some of the figures that will appear in the Matchbox Star Cars series. Along with Rocky Balboa and Camero, collectors will also find The Mask and Squad Car, Gilligan and the S.S. Minnow, Fonzie and his Motorcycle, and more. A firm release date has not been set, so keep your eyes peeled!
