Hollywood Collectibles: Rambo Statue Pre-Order

Craig / / 2010, Fan Art, Rambo, Sly Fan

Hey SZoners!  Mark from Hollywood Collectibles wanted us to get a heads-up…

The Rambo statue is now up for pre-order;
http://hollywood-collectibles.com/rambo_18.html
If your guys use the code “Rambo” at checkout, they will get a 10% discount!

How cool is it that the Rambo statue is once again created by Edinho Maga who was discovered here at the StalloneZone?

Thanks to Mark and the good folks at Hollywood Collectibles for giving us another discount.  Remember that the last Rambo statue sold out quickly.  So put in your order, or drop some hints for a birthday, Father’s Day or even Christmas gift!

As always, any SZoner who orders one and sends me a photo with it, will have it posted on the StalloneZone!

From the Hollywood Collectibles website:

Rambo IV Statue

RAMBO IV 1:4 SCALE STATUE

“Heroes never die……..they just reload”

Standing an impressive 20” tall including base (to top of head – not including bow), this Quarter Scale statue captures Rambo’s raw intensity, as the “boatman” reveals his true colors to the mercenaries he is accompanying.


Featuring an accurate likeness of Sylvester Stallone as John Rambo from the latest Rambo movie, this amazingly detailed statue portrays Rambo with his now iconic bow in hand, poised to dispense instant justice with another arrow!
This incredible piece of art is constructed from heavyweight polystone and then hand painted to the finest detail.

Limited to just 500 pieces worldwide

There is no HCG Exclusive version of this piece. However if you like low serial #’s, we are reserving # 1 to # 100 for retail customers only. So the first 100 retail orders will receive the desirable low edition numbers!

Sculpted by Edinho Maga.
Painted by Dan “Danno” Cope.

I received an e-mail from SZoner, Herve Attia, who has impressed fans with his talent and dedication to re-visiting all of the locations used in filming “First Blood”.  Here’s what Herve had to say:

Dear Craig,

“On The Set of First Blood Part 4 – VC Commander” has been released today.  It can be watched at this link.  This is probably the final installment. I guess we have covered all the relevant First Blood filming locations. It has been fun to make.

Thanks again Herve for sharing your talent with us.  Also a special thanks for making the StalloneZone a small part of the video!  Thanks also to Raven! – Craig

Michael Joseph – RIP

Craig / / 2009, Fan Art

I received an e-mail from Bill Pruitt saying that fellow artist and friend, Michael Joseph, passed away on December 8th at the age of 43.  Michael’s art had appeared on the StalloneZone before and received a lot of praise.  Bill thought that SZoners would want to know.  Here’s a link to Michael Joseph’s site.  He was a talented man and will be missed.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends and fans. – Craig

Sly Stallone Strikes Over Stolen ‘Cobra’ Car

Craig / / 2009, Cobra, Fan Art

On December 1, 2009, TMZ broke the news that Sly is suing to get back the famous 1950 Mercury used in the filming of “Cobra”.  Sly first reported the car as stolen in 1994 and recently came across it in an internet ad offering it for sale.  When the current “owner” refused to return it, Sly went after it through legal means.

According to TMZ, “a suit filed in in L.A. County Superior Court begins with a quote from the movie — “Crime is a disease. Meet the cure.'” You gotta love that.  Sly is suing for an immediate return of the car as well as three million dollars in damages since his name and image were used without the proper permission to promote the auction.

You can read the full piece at TMZ, as well as see more photos of the Cobra car by clicking here.
