About This Video
Blitzway’s quarter-scale Rocky statue puts him on a Philadelphia street with Butkus beside him. This video accompanies our written review of the K.A. Kim portrait, fabric outfits and detailed base.
Rocky and Butkus
Our reviewer praised the young Sylvester Stallone likeness, skin tones and stubble. Butkus also received attention for the sculpted fur and glossy finish around his snout.
Rocky’s red shirt, black jacket and hat are made from fabric. Butkus wears a fabric Eagles jersey. Those clothes sit over fixed sculpted bodies; this is a statue rather than an articulated figure.
The Street Display
Grass in the pavement cracks, gum and worn concrete give the base small details beyond the two characters. A wall-ball, fight-promotion newspaper pieces and a plaque complete the scene.
The original verdict was strongly positive. The attraction is Rocky’s everyday appearance with his dog, rather than a boxing pose.
Which Rocky Is Being Celebrated?
The plaque identifies Rocky II, and the original written review dates this statue to 2016. The street clothes and Butkus make it a different choice from a boxing-ring Rocky: the jacket, gloves, hat and chain are as important to the scene as the likeness. Look down at the pavement too. The review describes gum, grass, a ball and newspapers as part of the Philadelphia street setting. Butkus has his own details, including a jersey and glossy nose. This is a fixed scene built around character and place, rather than an articulated figure intended for changing fight poses.
