Glad to see the disgruntled comments in here...but, hey, at least HT fixed the lazy, blatantly visible hinged feet/toes on the last Rocket lol.

You mean that they “fixed” by eliminating toe articulation altogether?

Ok so yeah Cosmo spent more screen time with other characters.

But as far as Rocket is concerned, what would have been a better accessory than Cosmo?

Easy, baby rocket, he’ll make them flocked figures…or show about releasing High Evo With Rocket

A High Evolutionary with a static “baby rocket” would be cool. But just like Cosmo that little Rocket would likely be too small to actually have articulation, it would probably by like those little Ant-man figurines that came with some of the Civil War figures.

Cosmo is a really interesting character in her own right and I’m sure plenty of people will be more than happy to have a representation of her. I’m sure people have tons of subjectively “better” ideas for add on accessories, maybe those desires will come to fruition with other figures from this line.

same **** headsculpt

With how much development Rocket had in Vol. 3, it’s such a shame they decided to stick with a sculpt that’s a decade old at this point.

They updated Rocket.

Continuously fine-tuning from prototypes, we are beyond excited to share with fans our enhanced Rocket and Cosmo in sixth-scale based on the movie Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Featuring an all-new head sculpt, Rocket is refined with intricate details and expression with new sculpting and painting. He is now smirking as he leads his family of misfits. Besides significant upgrades on Rocket’s head sculpt, we have also made careful adjustments on Cosmo’s scale, allowing fans to display the figure in true-to-screen scale!

I guess the release is imminent because that's what they do usually for recent releases with updated headsculpts.

That said, I'm not too sure about both updates, Rocket finally has a new headsculpt (after so many reuses) but it looks kinda soft? Especially around the brows area. Cosmo also have the same issue too.

What’s the adjustable scale for Cosmo??

They just made Cosmo slightly taller, presumably based on the film and not the concept art they originally used. I don't even remember Rocket and Cosmo being close enough to compare their heights but maybe Cosmo will scale better with the other characters like Kraglin... oh wait

F the Guardians 3 'line'.

No Drax, Adam Warlock, High Evolutionary or Gamora? Disaster.

Ahh I got excited seeing the pics and then realised I'm on batch 2

Looks pretty great though

No Mantis in the blue suit either. Theres a decent 3rd party Adam Warlock. Drax is the biggest whiff because a lot of people want an updated version

That new headsculpt looks great, the expression I've wanted Rocket to have this whole time. Anyone know if this head could be popped on the older figs, particularly the Vol. 2 one?

My only hope of a Drax is that now Hot Toys are ok with silicone body (see Wolverine TVA Jacket) we might finally see Drax with a silicone upper body instead of jointed. Unlikely but I hope we do see it.

Eh this sculpt doesn't really represent Rocket from this movie imo. Maybe I'm misremembering but he was a lot more serious in this movie.

Would you prefer a crying sculpt and a younger Rocket?
A Llyla that doubles as a pencil holder? Ugh! Monster

You don't want a better head, you just hate this one the way it is

This is a good looking set. I’m tempted.

Did HT ever have a presence at D23?
