Yes, it's a Jim Lampley action figure.
This was made as part of a Rocky toy line about 20 years ago, specifically a Rocky Balboa wave. On a recent day trip, I saw this at a toy store and had to get it to add to my boxing announcers collection, which now numbers...one. Maybe it's not as BOTNS relevant as a 1984 Olympics Lampley, but I'll take it.
However, I know there was a Brent Musburger made for a Rocky III line, and more importantly, I now know a Larry Merchant figure exists. That one is now at the top of my list. Hey, whether or not you had issues with the Rocky Balboa movie, you have to appreciate that it spawned action figures of the HBO guys (Not Harold Lederman, though, I am sad to report).
I just need a George Foreman to put his arm around him in case there's a riot at ringside.
