SZoner, Hideo is back with some cool new photos of Sly in Japan. Take it away, Hideo:
- Hi, Craig! It’s HIDEO!
- I found an interesting interview of SLY.

Please enjoy!
- P.S. I translated those articles for English speaking persons. But, my English is very poor. Sorry. You can correct my wrong English, please. Take care!
-About Barney Ross
“The figure released before was well-done, and this Barney Ross is well-done, too!
It becomes better and better, unbelievable! By the way, how about the tattoo? “
（Costume unclothed and Sly saw tattoo.）
“Wow! It is the very movie image. “
-Watching Rocky3 figure
“This is a figure of Rocky 3, I have this one! “
（Comparing a figure of Rocky balboa with Barney Ross）
“Uuum, I get old, the figure gets old. “
（Toward the staff）
“Hey! Watch, guys! The position of Barney’s hairline is higher than Rocky!
Oh, my god! Thank you, HOT TOYS! For such a real reproduction!”
-About HOT TOYS
“Thank you for making wonderful figures of Rocky, Rambo, and this “The
Expendables”. I think HOT TOYS is a world’s best toymaker.”
-About The Expendables
“I wrote the script, supervised it, and played the leading part. And
this time, I was able to act with my wonderful friends.
I am sure it is the best movie of my works, and I want to say to Japanese fans, “please
enjoy”. And I thank for HOT TOYS having done splendid support that released
this figure.”
-The time limit for interview was planned until here, but Sly was satisfied with the figure of Barney, and continued talking more.
” I have one idea. I want to propose HOT TOYS, if you can make products with all these quality, to make costumes and replicas of the prop on 1/1 scales! One more. If a figure of Barney is completed, I will sign ten figures and will exhibit at charity auction for underprivileged children. I have exhibited a boxing glove of “Rocky” to charity before.”
-Dolph Lundgren appears.
（Sly invites Dolph, and showing the figure of Rocky.)
Sly: “Have you ever seen this?”
Dolph: “Yeah, my Drago is like that, too”.
Sly: “The muscles grow well! “
Dolph: “That’s true! “
（Toward the coverage staff ）
Sly: “Why don’t you make his latest figure?”
Dolph: “Make my thing again! Ha-ha! “
Thanks to Hideo, once again for the great find! – Craig
