Quote:And as suggested earlier, his head could be the Digger head from Dino Attack I'm honestly not a fan of that head for John. J. While it's a cool head, it doesn't do 'Rambo' well. The version of the character most are familiar with is his appearance in the second and third films (being the ones where he wears a black tank-top and black combat pants). In that version, he was clean-shaven. Not to mention his bandana was tied in the back and did not come down across his face like the Digger print does. Nah, if a First Blood Part II or Rambo III minifig were produced, he'd most definitely need a custom torso (muscles, of course!) and custom face that more accurately represents his appearance. After all, if BA is gonna do it -- gotta do it right. Will it happen? Maybe, maybe not. The only hairpieces even remotely viable for the character are the Mutt hairpiece in black, and the Arealight mullet (my favourite). Neither are cost effective at this time. Without a good hairpiece, there's just no point. Arealight's hairpiece, again the one I think is the best for this, comes in at 3 dollars per piece, while the ONLY black Mutt hairpiece available on BrickLink right now is just over 2 dollars. Of course, BrickArms could always offer a Rambo-LIKE minifig, perhaps with the Digger head and a Rambo-inaccurate hairpiece. What would you guys think of something like that?

I'd like it, Damien. A Rambo-esque minifig, I like the sound of it. Now all we need is a compound bow, huh?
I love M21's.
I'm not joking. I love them.

That's not all. The compound bow and M60 are both iconic 'Rambo weapons.' Along with the AK-47, RPG, and KA-BAR. But three out of five ain't bad. Four out of five if you're willing to use the MK48 instead of an M60.

In Rambo: First Blood, our somewhat disturbed hero hurls a stone at a hovering helicopter. It breaks the windscreen, hitting the pilot and causing him to fumble with the controls, which in turn results in a marksman standing on the helicopter skids to loose balance and fall (hard) on nearby rocks. The marksman was shooting at Rambo, so he had to be stopped.
Anyway, I was just joking.

obxcrew That was a really cool scene.I said it before, about 2 times i think? I'm all in for a Rambo, he could be using the KA-BAR, the MK-48, And the Stone! ;-)

(Then of course there's always the upcoming "John Rambo" movie, which will be the fourth installment of the popular machismo flicks. Not sure what his weapon(s) of choice will be. Since it's more modern, we may seem some new stuff. But I bet his signature combat knife will be there.) in the new movie he builds a new knife witch is more like a machete and has a compound bow
