The #1 Sylvester Stallone Fan Site in the World!
On January 30, 2013, AZCentral.com posted 5 Essential Sylvester Stallone Films. Their choices [with embeded trailers]:
When Steven Sanchez announced that he was doing the Sketchshots, the timing was perfect. I jumped on board and asked for three of my favorite Stallone characters [Rocky, Rambo and Jack Carter].
Steven not only agreed, we exchanged a couple of e-mails and he finished the piece within 24 hours. [Probably much less]. How often does that happen… and with fantastic results.
I hope to get more from him in the future and highly recommend him to others looking for a commission. You can see more of Steven’s art here. – Craig
Today I received my limited edition, Rambo statue from the good folks at Hollywood Collectibles. The statue was placed inside a molded styrofoam shell which was then put in a well designed packaging box which was then placed in a larger shipping box filled with packing nuts. If you think I’m making too big a deal about how pleased I was with the secure packaging, then you don’t know my delivery guy.
The statue, about 12 inches tall, is itself is a thing of beauty. Sculpter, Edinho Maga shows Rambo standing triumphant. Each statue was hand painted by Dan Cope who did a wonderful job of making the statue even more lifelike. Hollywood Collectibles always turns out quality items and this Rambo statue is no exception. Although this piece is sold out, there are other Rambo collectibles, Rocky items, and many other movie collectibles as well.
Before I bring this post to a close I want to especially thank Mark from Hollywood Collectibles. Mark contacted me once I had posted photos of Edinho’s work on the StalloneZone. Mark was impressed. I put the two into contact with each other and the rest, as they say, is history. Throughout the whole process Mark kept me informed on the statue’s progress. It was also Mark who made it possible for SZoners to get a discount if they ordered a statue. Mark and Hollywood Collectibles have been great to deal with. I hope that future Stallone projects are given the same treatment. I could say more, but it’s time to go clear off a place on the mantle for my Rambo statue.
SZoner, Robert Rack is a super fan… as you can tell by these photos of just part of his collection!
JoBlo.com recently posted a piece about Sly in Brazil scouting locations and talking with Juliana Paes for a potential role in “The Expendables.” Did you happen to check out JoBlo’s source for the item? – Craig
SZoner, Chris from France sent in these photos. Thanks to Chris for sharing! – Craig
