This news came somewhat under the radar, but for Rambo fans, we couldn’t pass this up. NECA tweeted a few days ago that:
“Definitely figures coming from first blood part two next year”
This was in response to ZombiNosh on Twitter who was asking about a muddy Rambo exclusive for next year. First Blood Part 2 stands out for having the most outlandish violence of the trilogy(before the 4th Rambo film which came several years later). It was also directed by the same guy that would later direct Sylvester Stallone in Cobra.

Good to hear. Although the First Blood figures are great, this is the iconic Rambo that comes to mind whenever I picture the character.
Sure would be nice if we could get a Col. Trautman figure.
But as with the First Blood figures, it will probably be nothing but Rambo variants. So for the 2nd film we'll obviously get the iconic shirtless version (as shown on the movie poster), then maybe him in his paratrooper outfit, and then a muddy battle worn version from later in the film.
On a related note, is NECA pretty much done with their Rocky line now? I was really hoping we could get one more wave with Mickey and a "Rocky in Training" version of Rocky from the 1st or 2nd film in sweatpants, or Rocky in his casual street clothes with the leather jacket and hat. I think the Mickey/Training Rocky idea would make a great 2-pack. Didn't NECA hint that a Mickey figure was being considered? With the complete lack of any new Rocky figs shown at SDCC, I'm wondering if those plans were scrapped and they are just done with the Rocky line.
