.

in 1980 sylvester stallone proposed to sculptor, a. thomas schomberg, that he create a monumental sculpture depicting Rocky Balboa for the movie "Rocky III".

the ROCKY statue stands 12 feet 8 inches from the bottom of the pedestal to the top of the gloves and weighs 1400 lbs.

a. thomas schomberg's monumental works are traditionally produced in extremely limited editions. therefore, only three monumental ROCKY statues will be produced.

ROCKY 1 of 3: was produced in 1980 for the movie "Rocky III" and, as of september 8^th 2006, now resides on a grassy knoll near the steps to the philadelphia museum of art, philadelphia, pa.

ROCKY 2 of 3: as of september 2006 was produced and installed into the private collection of robert breitbard and housed in the san diego hall of champions museum in balboa park, san diego, california.

ROCKY 3 of 3: currently undergoing completion, with a location to be determined at a later date.
