the ice" with blog #80: HAO Collection's Quinton "Rampage" Jackson!
Being one of the earliest HAO Collection figures, Rampage Jackson was released
in 2003 as "#DS-004" (the "DS" represents the Japanese "Dream Stage Entertain
-ment" promotion - while Rampage was the 4th figure released of the set).
A close-up of Rampage's grimacing face sculpt shows off a sizeable gap in
Rampage's mouth as well as Rampage's stylized left eyebrow.
The HAO Rampage Jackson figure comes sculpted with an attached MMA
"Yellow Card" in Rampage's left hand.
The pose of the Rampage figure was inspired by Rampage's victory against Mikhail
Ilyukhin at Pride 26: Bad to the Bone which began with Rampage humorously
issuing the referee a "Yellow Card" (in MMA, a yellow card is considered a
"foul". Each time a fighter is issued a yellow card during a match, the fighter
loses 10% of their fight money. If a fighter receives three yellow cards, the
fighter is instantly disqualified).
Rampage's reason for issuing the referee a yellow card? The ref's breath
stunk.
Rampage's left arm contains a tattoo decal of a black panther.
A step down from from HAO's previous figure (#DS-003 Fedor Emelianenko),
there are no logos or designs on Rampage's trunks.
One of the highlights of the HAO Rampage Jackson figure is Rampage's
removable walkout chain accessory!
The bottom of the Rampage Jackson figure includes HAO's copyright
stamp from 2003.
Rampage stands about 6 and a half inches tall and features a surprising
amount of articulation at the arms, wrists, neck, waist AND legs which
can be rotated!
Truly, very few HAO figures have this many poseable joints!
