Hi Craig,
My name is Bess Braswell, and I work in marketing at DK Publishing. I recently noticed that you have Rocky: The Ultimate Guide up on Stallonezone.com, which is fantastic! Thank you very much! We’ve changed the cover from the version on your site, so I’ve attached the final cover.
Thanks again for showing the book – you have a fantastic site!
Best wishes,

Steve Comenzo the Editor-in-Chief of ActionFigs.com. wrote in to say: I thought this may be of interest to your readers.
You’re probably as impressed as me. It is so cool that they are creating figures for so many of the characters from each of the Rocky movies and multiple figures for the main characters! – Craig
Jeremy Padawer, head of Entertainment Marketing for Jakks Pacific checked in to remind SZoners about the cool line of “Rocky” figures that are they’re producing.
Here’s what Jeremy had to say:
We’re producing the Rocky action figure line – literally manufacturing and marketing practically every important character from the Rocky movies.
Including: Rocky, Adriane, Mick, Paulie, Thunderlips, Roberto Duran, Joe Frasier, Mike Tyson (cameo Rocky Balboa), and 30+ others.
I’m running a promotion on my personal website – http://www.jeremy.com.
Basically, we did a 1:50 Pre-Production Rocky Balboa bronzed figure in a polybag packaging for 2006 NYC Licensing Show. We’re going to follow up with a 1:1000 bronze figure in regular Rocky packaging that we give away on the streets of Philadelphia in late August!
I’m really looking forward to the release of these figures! Check out Jeremy’s Blog for full details and news about other cool products!
