Up for auction is the Rocky doll. It is made by Vital Toys, and I would guess it stands close to a foot tall. It is sealed in the original package. From the packaging, it was made around 2003. I just tried the website on the box and it does not work. I am pretty sure they don't make these anymore. With the new Rocky movie coming out this fall, it may become even more valuable.

For the sake of full disclosure, I purchased three other Rocky dolls a year or so ago. I already had one (opened) in my boxing room. The other two are still in their package, but I put them somewhere - I have to find them. If I ever offer them or or in a contest, they will be known as "Rocky 2" and "Rocky 3" - gotta love the sequels.

The doll up for auction is the one that has been available for all my previous boxing contests. He wants a new home.

Minimum bid is $25. (UK bidders are welcome, but you must pay S&H.) Please link your bids to this post. Bidding closes @ 5PM EST on Sunday (tomorrow).

The winning bid's $ will be donated to the M.D. Cancer Center in memory of Lori Leggio. I will match that winning bid up to $100.
