Ridiculous Rocky IV Rack Toys by Jak Pak
Rocky 3 seemed to have cemented the popular film franchise as a solid investment in toy licensing. We got Rocky action figures, Rocky trading cards and of course Rack Toys. For 1985’s Rocky 4, Jak Pak Toys sought to cash in on all that sweet brand recognition with some logical and silly merchandise; let’s dig in!

“Everybody’s Movie Hero” was Paulie’s robot thank you very much. Some real gems buried in here.
The keychains are fine, but those are COBRA SUNGLASSES, my friend, Cobretti, not Balboa. I need to make Cobra rack toys…
The thought of Sylvester Stallone playing with his travel Jax or blowing bubbles in the locker room will keep me going all day.
However, if I had to choose just one, it would be the I.D. Set especially when I slide in my “Black Dragon Fighting Society” card that I totally earned from Count Dante.
Then I’ll be the hero of the break room!

In reality, I do think it’s awesome, but- I’ll look “really manly and serious”, spinning around, + playing with: my Rocky soap bubbles wand, that looks like a yellow statue! 😀
