Ringside Collectibles Exclusive Apollo Creed vs. Ivan Drago 2-Pack Announced!

RockyFigs.com reports that Ringside Collectibles has just announced their latest exclusive in the Rocky Series, which will be Apollo Creed vs. Ivan Drago. This is awesome news, and definitely a deserving exclusive. As I've stated in my original Apollo Creed post, I was less than thrilled with Apollo's death in Rocky 4, but this set honors Apollo's last Rocky movie appearance well. When I first read the story, I figured we'd be seeing Apollo vs. Drago in fight gear, but to my surprise its actually their press conference gear, which is very cool in my opinion. I'm a huge fan of the Rocky series and love when Jakks releases figures in different attires from certain classic moments of a movie such as this press conference. The set is up for pre-order now, but won't ship until late June, although you can use the discount code ROCKYFIGS and receive 10% off your pre-order, thanks to RockyFigs.com. This will be the only chance to grab these figures in this attire, so you won't be finding them in stores ever. Jakks does it again, and can't wait to see more exclusives, and we'll have the news here first when more information becomes available on future sets.
