Hiya Toys Readies Premium Apollo Creed Figure for 2026 Bout

Get ready to wait! Hiya Toys just dropped pre-orders for a stunning new Apollo Creed figure from Rocky II, but fans won't get their gloves on it until late 2026. Yes, that's a Q4 2026 release – nearly three years from now.
Hiya Toys, known for its Exquisite Super Series, continues to impress with this 1/12 scale rendition of Carl Weathers' iconic character. This figure perfectly captures Apollo Creed in his prime, preparing for his "rematch of the century" against Rocky Balboa. Expect incredible detail: two interchangeable head sculpts faithfully replicate Weathers' likeness. Multiple fabric outfits are included, from training gear to his signature robed entrance. Accessories like training pads, a jump rope, and an articulated stand complete the premium package.
Priced at $129.99, this is a high-end collectible for serious fans. Hiya Toys consistently delivers film-accurate, highly articulated figures, and this Apollo Creed looks like another knockout. The extended wait signals intricate production, but for a figure of this caliber, patience is often rewarded.
“Collectors face a significant wait, however, as this premium collectible isn't expected to ship until late 2026.”
Catzye Take
This figure looks fantastic, capturing one of cinema's most iconic boxers. What's interesting is the long lead time for pre-orders, a trend we're seeing more often with high-quality collectibles, sometimes spanning years. Fans will need patience, but the detail looks worth it.
