Packaging
The packaging comes with the outer box enveloping the real packaging box. The packaging box is push out from either the top or bottom. The box comes with the usual display window secured with Velcro.

The accessories are extremely few comparing to the usual Hot Toys military figures. There are only 3 type of items in the box and no spare hand to change.

Figure
The figure comes in the singlet and jeans outfit of Rambo as seen in First Blood I. It is properly dress right out of the box and does not require any re-adjustment as in most Sideshow's figures.

The muscular body is making use of some sort of special rubber like material making it soft and squishy. It definitely look beautiful with those veins here and there. Moreover, the covered chest and the six packs look similar to it's predecessor in Hot Toy's First Blood 2 release.

The muscular body look great but it does comes with a price. The "muscle" skin that wrap around the skeletal frame does limit the body movement. For example, the arm cannot swing backward and lift over the shoulder. The six packs muscle kill off the articulation on the waist. However, the legs are functioning normally since it is not making use of the rubber muscle. He is able to kneel with little restriction.

Note that the boots is quite impossible to take off. Unlike Sideshow's where the feet screwed to the leg, Rambo's feet is double ball-jointed and it comes off when I try to pull put the feet from the boots.

Accessories
Hot Toys is not very generous with Rambo's accessories. It only comes with 3 bullet belts, a combat knife and a M60 machine gun.

I only have 1 complain with its accessories. The bullet belt comes with pins that does not really works. The whole piece is molded with the same soft PVC and the pin is too soft to fit into the provided pin hole. It is quite inconvenient to pin the belt together and it often come off during posing.
