'Rocky' 50th Anniversary!

Check out the video below as well as the FULL video on the Building Up YouTube channel where I really get into all the fun details!

Well, after months of work, I can finally proudly present my 'Rocky' 50th Anniversary project here on Lego Ideas! The iconic and inspirational Rocky series has always been my favorite movie franchise, and what better way to commemorate the upcoming anniversary of that first Oscar-winning film than with a Lego set? The main build for this project is, of course, the boxing ring where you can pair up any of the characters for a boxing match! Other builds include the steps in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Arts where Rocky finishes his training montages, as well as the famous Rocky statue in front of the steps! The main minifigures would be Rocky and Apollo Creed. Other characters that could be fun to see (but I didn't include here to comply with the Lego Ideas minifigure limit) are Rocky and Clubber Lang from the third movie, Rocky and Ivan Drago from the fourth movie, Rocky in his training sweats, Rocky in his classic leather jacket and fedora, Adrian, Paulie, and Mickey. As a huge fan of both Lego and Rocky (obviously), I'd love to see this get made as an official Lego set! And I truly believe the recent nostalgia for the '80s and ongoing success of the Creed movies bringing in new fans would make a set like this a smash hit (pun intended)! It won't be easy, but with everyone's help, I think we can get there!
