Sylvester Stallone movie memoribilia will be on the auction block this October. Dallas-based Heritage Auctions will run it.

It ain’t about how hard you hit, it’s about how high you bid. Dallas-based Heritage auctions will sell off a treasure trove of Sylvester Stallone movie memorabilia this October.

From Rocky’s motorcycle to Rambo’s machete, there’s a little something for everyone.

If you’re obsessed with Over the Top, can’t get enough of Cliffhanger and totally dig Demolition Man, Heritage Auctions hopes you’ve been saving your pennies.

This October, it’s the Sylvester Stallone auction to end all auctions. Heritage even posted a video on its website of the action star strolling through his memorabilia-filled storage unit.

“This I can’t believe, let me try this on? Still fits? I don’t know! Rocky’s grown or something,” Stallone narrates.

Check out Rocky's moment of victory below.

He’s modeling Rocky’s famous leather jacket, which fits a little tighter now than it did in 1976. Fans of the prizefighter can also bid on his boxing robe from “Rocky IV,” and the gold, bloodstained trunks from his losing “Rocky III” fight with Mr. T.

If you prefer Stallone as vigilante John Rambo, you won’t be disappointed by the auction stock.

His army jacket, giant machete and tunic are all up for bid.

A portion of all the proceeds from this auction will benefit military charities. If you want to check stuff out before the bidding war, there’s a preview in Dallas in September.

That means you’ve got about six weeks to practice your left hook before deciding if you want to bid on Rocky’s famous gloves.
