I've been wanting to make this for a while! Rocky IV Nesting Dolls! It's the Rocky movie where he fights the six -foot-six Russian boxer Drago ("I must break you"). The fight takes place in Russia and had that whole USA vs. Russia theme (it was the cold war). This doll features Drago, Rocky Balboa, Apollo Creed, Paulie and Sico the Robot! The largest doll is 6 inches tall and the smallest is about an inch. Hand painted with acrylic on wood nesting dolls.
This set is part of the Back to 1985 art show at Gallery1988! The artwork is available online on March 11th, 2025 at 10am pst at gallery1988.com.
