ROCKY BALBOA VS APOLLO CREED
While surfing the net I discovered the above statue up for auction at e-Bay.com. Because of the rarity of the piece, I thought it would be of interest to SYLVESTER STALLONE fans. Although no images appear with the auction listing, the owner of the statute quickly responded to my e-mail request for pictures and gave his permission for me to publish them on the SZ. Listed below is the description of the piece as it appears on e-Bay as well as detailed photos of the state. If you are interested in bidding on the piece, please click |HERE|.
This is a fantastic collectible and a must for the ROCKY and Sylvester Stallone fan.
This statue was commissioned and issued in a very limited number by United Artists Corporation in 1979 for the film ROCKY II starring Sylvester Stallone and Carl Weathers.
It was created by renowned sculptor Giovanni Schoeman.
It depicts Rocky Balboa “The Italian Stallion” and Apollo Creed fighting it out in the ring with incredible detail, power and grace.
Stallone’s and Weather’s signature appear on the bottom.
The artist’s signature appears on the left side; the United Artists Corporation logo appears on the right side.
It is plaster cast with bronze enamel paint.
The appearance is gorgeous.
I have owned and treasured this item for 21 years!
It is in excellent condition with only a small number of extremely tiny paint chips on the bottom and in no way detracts from the beauty of this piece.
Measures 10.5″ long x 6.25″ wide x 12″ tall.
This is an extremely rare item and I know you will love it as much as I have.
I will pack it with special care and ship anywhere worldwide; buyer pays actual shipping cost depending upon your location.
