Yo Adrian! Here Come The Rocky Balboa Toys

If you haven't heard yet, yes there is a new Rocky movie in the works. Rocky VI, otherwise known as Rocky Balboa, will be hitting the theatres in December 2006.

Additionally, there will be an onslaught of Rocky toys and games to coincide with the release of the new film.

JAKKS Pacific Inc. announced a deal with MGM to have exclusive rights to produce and distribute toys and games based on all six Rocky films. These include action figures, play sets, accessories, role-play items and sports toys.

"Rocky is an amazing franchise and we are thrilled to create an action figure line based on the dynamic characters from each film, including the highly anticipated Rocky Balboa," said Jeremy Padawer, vice president of boys entertainment and pet products, JAKKS Pacific Inc. "In addition to creating really great toys, we have designed a launch schedule that we believe will build a buzz for the product and enhance the collectability of the line."

I wonder if the Rocky action figure from the first Rocky film will look like he is 30 and the Rocky action figure from Rocky VI will look like he is 60.

Rocky Balboa Movie Quote

"But it ain't about how hard you hit... it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward... how much you can take, and keep moving forward. If you know what you're worth, go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit."
