Here are a select few of the reference shot's I sent across to Johnny this morning for the sculpt

Ok so been going through the film and we actually have 2 choices for foot wear. For just over the first of the movie he wears what appear to be black cuban heeled boots





The best example I could find in 1/6th come from the Blitzway Carlito's Way fig and can be found on eBay reasonably easily

After that (when his training begins) he switches to the Con's and he's seen wearing them in both his grey track suit attire and street get up.





Honestly I think the cuban heels are probably a better way to go so apologies for the confusion earlier. Personally I'll be picking up a pair of both so I have the choice.

I like the Converse so that way there is a choice of two different outfits that can be worn.

 

[karamazov80]

Converse are definitely more distinctive.

That's a good shout

Cool well the options are there guys just wanted to point out the boots as don't want to miss anything. The Con's are not going anywhere the seller has nearly 50 pairs of them left in stock. For those that prefer the cuban heels get in quick as they may disappear

Wonderful news!

RM's tailor is confirmed, and can start work on this in May :rock

Very nice news about RM's tailor!!!

I was comparing bodies last night as I have a pretty good variety on hand. I gotta say that the TTM21 is too small for Rocco. Even the TTM19 is too small for him. I really think he's more fitted for a TTM20 or a Captain America Avengers body. Maybe he wasn't Arnie big in Rocky (Arnie wasn't even Arnie big in T2) but he definitely wasn't thinner and leaner like a 19 or a 21 suggests. You can even see in Bullet's spread on this page... the guy is f__kin' large!

As for the shoes I'm a bigger fan of the boots than the Chucks; that's just my vote. It's not a big deal to me if the boots don't happen though because I don't think something suitable will be too hard to find. The BW Carlito ones have the right idea but are too small for Rocky. They're a good scale for Scareface and Carlito (they're the same exact sculpt just different colors) but not for a taller, brawnier figure.

Gotta agree about the body I have a Cap Avengers body to hand and it might just do the job. Stallone was as you say much larger in Rocky compared with the later Rocky movies where he slimmed down. I don't think he's TTM-20 big not Arnie HT body big but Cap Avengers is a very very good shout. At this stage we are getting the outfit (Jacket, long sleeved shirt and jeans) from RM's tailor and sculpt from Johnny and with any luck some sculpted black leather gloved hands as well. Not sure if Johnny would be interested in sculpting the boots as there should be options out there already for them depending on your preference but could always ask.

Sculpted/painted boots would be killer! Again IDK if I'm the minority on that one yet.

I have RM's Anton on a Cap body and the only reason why it isn't perfect is because the clothes weren’t made to accommodate it. They're not as baggy as I'd like them to be but as far as physique guess, it's way closer to how Anton should look than a TTM21 IMO. Just using that as an example. Also, the Cap body has the brolic upper body (arms, shoulders, chest, back) but doesn't have that big Arnie bootie; also better for Rocco I feel. It has built on thigh extenders and a bigger butt than the 21 which is pretty perfect.

 

[chubbyman]

Maybe an ACI Christian then?

can i go on the waitlist please....thanks

Yea man I'd be happy with the cap body will speak to Teddy see what he thinks and see if we could possibly get one to the tailor if she doesnt already have one. What does everyone else think would Cap Avengers body fit the bill?

Sculpted boots would be cool but I guess it relies heavily on Johnnys schedule etc

I don't know fellas. I really don't think Rock is as big as your making out. I agree if your doing Rock in boxing shorts, then yes you might need a bigger body. As we are doing Rock in street clothes I do feel the 21 is a decent choice :dunno

 

[meth head]

Just love this!!!! This is what I hope we achieve, and I am sure we will with Johnny and RM's tailor

There is no way Arnie used a muscle body on his Rock and to me it looks perfect?

Hmmmm I like the build on the cap A body as he is a stocky guy. My main concern with that particular body is the height Stallone is a short arse haha only like 5ft 9. The arms and chest on the 21 are they quite big enough? I haven't got one for reference won't have for a few weeks yet so can't do a comparison. Pop if you have both could you put some comparison pics up?

I'll try my best but I don't have a DSLR yet. My digi doesn't convey proportions very well and has a lot of distortion. I just got some Cap FA bodies in today that I've been waiting on for a while.

I have 20's, 21's, Cap Avenger, Cap FA's, & ACI Christians on hand (Im only naming bodies that may be in question). Whoever doesn't have these in hand can ask me any questions you have. I'll have some pics up by tomorrow.

I really don't think that the 21 represents Rocky at all. I saw what Anton looked like on a 21 and he was ridiculously skinny. I think Arnie's version looks very skinny too.

I think Cap and ACI are best contenders...

Do you have these in hand? If you're just going off of pics then you be getting the wrong idea. The ACI is the thinnest (arms & shoulders mostly) of the 4 I mentioned.

Sly may not be exactly 6' but in Rocky is was just as jacked as Vin Diesel, Chris Evans, or Hemsworth. He was large! He wasn't a medium build kind of guy

 

[meth head]

The Captain America body is way too big IMO. The clothing will add bulk on the ttm21 giving him about the correct physique
