Rocky for the Holidays

Hey SZoners!

The holidays are quickly approaching and I wanted to remind everyone that Rocky sculptures are still available through A. Thomas Schomberg studios. These statues were created by A. Thomas Schomberg [who created the original Rocky sculpture seen in the Rocky movies] in collaboration with Sylvester Stallone and MGM studios. The sculptures make great gifts and there’s a sculpture for every price range! I’ve had mine for nearly a year now and I smile with pride every time I pass it [several times a day]!

I’ve stayed in contact with Mr. Schomberg and his wife since my interview with him [part two of the interview is here] for the SZ. I recently checked to make sure that statues are still available and they are! In fact, with the holidays coming up, they are expecting a surge in sales — so I thought it would be a good time to get your order in SZoners!

Remember, if you’ve purchases a statue, I’d love to post a picture of you with it! – Craig

SZoner Paul Wintner is not only the owner of Wintner Talent Agency [check out his site], but also a fan of Sylvester Stallone movies.
