ROCKY BALBOA VS APOLLO CREED<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While surfing the net I discovered the above statue up for auction at e-Bay.com. Because of the rarity of the piece, I thought it would be of interest to SYLVESTER STALLONE fans. Although no images appear with the auction listing, the owner of the statute quickly responded to my e-mail request for pictures and gave his permission for me to publish them on the SZ. Listed below is the description of the piece as it appears on e-Bay as well as detailed photos of the state. If you are interested in bidding on the piece, please click |HERE<\/del>|.<\/p>\n

This is a fantastic collectible and a must for the ROCKY and Sylvester Stallone fan.<\/p>\n

This statue was commissioned and issued in a very limited number by United Artists Corporation in 1979 for the film ROCKY II starring Sylvester Stallone and Carl Weathers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It was created by renowned sculptor Giovanni Schoeman.<\/p>\n

It depicts Rocky Balboa “The Italian Stallion” and Apollo Creed fighting it out in the ring with incredible detail, power and grace.<\/p>\n

Stallone’s and Weather’s signature appear on the bottom.<\/p>\n

The artist’s signature appears on the left side; the United Artists Corporation logo appears on the right side.<\/p>\n

It is plaster cast with bronze enamel paint.<\/p>\n

The appearance is gorgeous.<\/p>\n

I have owned and treasured this item for 21 years!<\/p>\n

It is in excellent condition with only a small number of extremely tiny paint chips on the bottom and in no way detracts from the beauty of this piece.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Measures 10.5″ long x 6.25″ wide x 12″ tall.<\/p>\n

This is an extremely rare item and I know you will love it as much as I have.<\/p>\n

I will pack it with special care and ship anywhere worldwide; buyer pays actual shipping cost depending upon your location.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

PLEASE forgive me but I cannot figure out how to add pictures to my eBay ad.<\/p>\n

So PLEASE email me at LMSPR@aol.com.<\/p>\n

I will email you several pictures immediately.<\/p>\n

Thank you for bidding and good luck!<\/p>\n
