A different time indeed. I remember my Rambo metal lunch box in elementary school lol. I'm pretty sure a kid would get kicked out of school for that in today's world. So glad I was a kid in the 80s and not today

I had that bad boy growing up! I loved that toy. Also had one of the Rambo coloring books. At the time, my mother worked at a trophy and T-shirt shop in town. She took the book and copied the cover onto a sweatshirt for me sometime after Christmas. I wore that thing all the time.

This very figure was the only one I got back in the day from that toy line and I still remember it quite fondly as one of my favorites growing up. Still to this day -even with the outstanding pieces made by manufacturers like Sideshow, Hot Toys, NECA and the likes of those; I can't help but marvel at the level of detail this figure has for something that wasn't originally envisioned as a collectible item and also made back in the 80s. As you metioned -the scars, the jade necklace, the headband, the accessories it came with; for that era it all was pretty much spot on.

Another amazing video. I am in absolute agreement w/you concerning the evolution of my own personal feelings as a boy, versus being older, w/regard to “First Blood”/“First Blood, Pt. II. Being a vet, myself; w/a father & uncle who served in Vietnam, the tone & message between the two could not be more different. I still love all five of them, though...

One of the best toylines from the 80's IMO! I remember as a kid how impressed I was when saw these in stores for the first time. Really chunky figures with tons of accessories. And aside the wacky weapons, some are just miniature replicas of real guns! Something we don't see often nowadays. Great review, congrats!

Great vid as always. Funny you should mention a Rambo/Sectaurs crossover though. To my understanding, when Stallone first began working on the film that would become Last Blood, he originally wanted to adapt a sci-fi novel called Hunter about an aging soldier tracking a blood-thirsty alien (ala Predator). He was eventually talked into the movie we're going to end up with, but supposedly loved the Hunter idea so much he went ahead and licensed the novel anyway for an unrelated picture (starring himself, natch).

That's interesting since the original title for Predator was "Hunter."
@jetgoldranger

@@MichaelMercy I know, right? In this case though the "Hunter" in question was a book by Byron Huggins from 1999. The plot had a man named "Hunter" being sent to the Arctic Circle to "take-out' a genetic experiment that had escaped and was loose in the arctic circle. For his project, Stallone wanted to move the setting to the Pacific Northwest and make the creature either an alien or some kind of alien hybrid. Apparently entertainment journalists were calling the project Rambo vs. Universal Solder, which Stallone wasn't crazy about, so he released a statement saying it would be more of a Predator type creature, NOT a super-human.
