NECA Rocky and Mickey Puppet Replica Statues – Toyark Photo Shoot

Posted on July 6, 2018 at 10:03 am by Joe Moore under General Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

In 1997 a commercial was released that featured claymation style versions of Rocky Balboa and his trainer Mickey Goldmill. The popular commercial was created for Lipton as part of their Brisk Iced Tea ad campaign. A follow-up to their similar Frank Sinatra themed commercial, the Rocky ad was soon followed by numerous commercials featuring stylized iconic characters. Bruce Lee, Eminem, Babe Ruth, Danny Trejo as Machete, Bruce Willis and more popped up over the years. “That’s Brisk, baby!” is still one of the most recognizable tag lines from the 90’s. The commercial also marked one of the rare times Sylvester Stallone lent his voice to an ad campaign.

The Rocky series will always hold a special place in my heart, especially the original film. I not only live in Philly, but grew up in the same Kensington neighborhood that the original movie was filmed and largely took place in. In grade school, I was practically across the street from the row home that Rocky lived in, and would routinely walk by the Tusculum Street rowhome after school let out. Later, through High School and college my commute on the el took me past Mighty Mick’s Gym on a daily basis. I’d often see people recognize it for the first time as we passed by, and it would always bring a bit of a smile to my face. I was introduced to the film at a young age by my father, who loves the movie as well. As a kid, I simply loved that it was a film set where I lived, and had some great action at the end. As I grew older, I started to understand the the themes of the film more. It featured a lot of the same struggles I had watched my own family deal with in the early 80’s. It perfectly captured the every day struggle of living in the area at the time, busting your ass to barely make ends meet. It’s easy to see why Philly residents still latch onto the film to this day. Rocky wasn’t looking for fortune, and he wanted to shy away from the fame. He was just hoping somebody, anybody would think he’s worth a damn and give you a chance to prove yourself.

Back at Toy Fair 2017, fans were surprised to see the puppets from the commercial at NECA‘s booth. They had purchased the original puppets used in the commercial and had them turned into statue replicas, which are now available for fans to purchase. You can purchase Rocky by himself, or in a special set that includes Mickey as well. NECA provided us with the Rocky and Mickey Puppet Replica Maquette 2-Pack, and we have a review and high resolution photo gallery to check out.

Rocky and Mickey Brisk Iced Tea Maquettes Available Now

Posted on June 15, 2018 at 7:26 am by Joe Moore under General Toy News

After a long delay, the Rocky and Mickey Puppet Maquettes, based on a classic Brisk Iced Tea Commercial, are now available from NECA. Back in 1990, Brisk Iced Tea ran a commercial featuring stylized puppet versions of Rocky Balboa and his trainer Mickey. We originally saw these maquettes back during Toy Fair 2017. Fans can finally own these items, which should be shipping to retailers next week, and available at most online stores in very early July. Fans looking to pick them up now can grab them directly from the NECA Ebay Store and the NECA Amazon Store.

Rocky Balboa Puppet Maquette – $129.99 – Ebay, Amazon

Rocky Balboa and Mickey Goldmill Puppet Maquettes – $199.99 – Ebay, Amazon

The phenomenally successful Rocky saga is a part of American pop culture, with its inspiring tale of a small-time boxer determined to prove his worth to the world.

These limited edition maquettes (statues) are based on a famous stopmotion commercial from the late 1990s that starred Rocky and his trainer Mickey in puppet form. Even in stylized form, those two had selling power!

Working from the actual puppets used to make the commercial, we’ve reproduced Rocky and Mickey as extra-detailed maquettes. Rocky stands approximately 12” tall and has fabric boxing shorts. Mickey stands approximately 10” tall and features fabric hat and clothing. Both statues are in accurate scale to each other and have movable eyes that can be positioned in various directions. Comes with two display bases.
