Based on the success of First Blood Rambo, NECA has decided to create a second version. Survival Rambo features Sylvester Stallone’s likeness, the famous survival knife, walkie talkie, pistol, assault rifle and spear.  No word yet when he’ll emerge from the cave, but we’ll keep you posted.  NECA has more pics of the 7-inch figure in action here.

 NECA gave Figures.com the exclusive on the latest version of this upcoming Robocop nemesis.  On the left you’ll see the updated ED-209 and on the right you’ll see its reveal from Toy Fair 2013.  The main difference seems to be the paint job and new decals.  The figure should have working hydraulics on the legs (up and down motion) and articulation in the arms, legs and feet.  According to reports from Toy Fair, it’s close in scale to NECA’s 7-inch scale Robocop figures, with the company shooting for a $50 price tag. This urban police enforcement bot will be authorized to use force sometime this summer.
