Meat: the Action Figure
Now I’ve seen everything. The manufacturer Jakks has a series of action figures based on the Rocky movie series starring Sylvester Stallone.
Not only are there multiple versions of Rocky, in different outfits and in various degrees of punch drunkenness, but there are also figures of brother-in-law Paulie, trainer Mickey, rival-turned-pal Apollo Creed, Clubber Lang (Mr. T) and—get this—broadcaster Brent Musberger.
But the real star of the set is a slab of beef. Yes, the slab of beef that Rocky punched in the original 1976 film now has its own action figure. It even comes with an eye hook for hanging and a blood-stained white butcher’s coat. Go figure.
