Re: 1/6 Hot Toys – MMS - Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2: Yondu Collectible Figure

I really don’t want to order this but it came out so well. I knew buying Star-Lord was a bad idea. Makes all the other Guardians figures so tempting.

I'm in the same boat lol! Still not that fond about Gamora v2, will wait to see how it turns out, don't think she will sell out. Happy to wait for GoTG 3 for Drax v2

But damn, it's releases like this that boggle my mind how Hot Toys still fail to get Ledger and Scarjo right after so many attempts

I already have the Vol 2. Star-Lord and Rocket. Was going to only get Rocket first, but then had a great change to pick-up Star-Lord and couldn't miss it. Of course had already thought about Yondu and preordered at that moment. Now waiting for Vol 2. Gamora and eventually Drax, cos "gotta catch 'em all", right?

Absolutely beautiful line, awesome figures! I'm also hoping that they do Nebula - very much so!

Gamora and rocket are both tempting. It’s nice just having baby Groot as he takes up so little space.

Andddddd just ordered Yondu from midtown comics. They still have the 8% discount, which takes the sting off their ridiculous shipping costs.

I was thinking about getting the "life size" Groot earlier this year, but as it obviously doesn't fit with the rest of the line scale wise, I'm perfectly happy with all the little Groots I'm getting. The "one with the bomb" Groot that is coming with Vol 2. Gamora is a real winner in my books!

The life size Groot you don't put with the rest. You put him everywhere else. I just move mine randomly around house and having him holding random things. He is a lot of fun. I have most of the little Groots also for my 1/6 figures. Looking forward to the Bomb Groot when it is available parted out.

Don't tempt me - I might just end up getting him as well!

You have the whole group?

I really want Gamora. I actually like Rocket in that orange get-up too.

I do indeed. I like the first film better than the second, and I too like Rocket’s orange get-up better, as well as SL’s long coat. Yondu I believe has pretty much the same outfit in the second film as he did the first sans the larger head fin, so I’m glad HT’s included the shorter one to accommodate his look from the first film.

my hardest decision will be to display him in my vol 1 or vol 2 set up [emoji12]

Either would work. His character was hilarious in both.

I caved and ordered the deluxe version. Yondu was probably right up there with mantis as my favorite parts of volume 2. I think the films are 1 and 1A. They work very well together. I'm glad james gunn is directing the 3rd film.

I wonder if the Vol 3. will continue after the happenings of Infinity War and Avengers 4 or will it star the original Guardians - of which Yondu was one - so Vol 3. would be more of a prequel than sequel? James Gunn has talked about wanting to do that, but I don't know if it's for GOTG Vol 3. or some later GOTG movie like Vol 4.? Wouldn't mind seeing more Yondu aside Stallone's Stakar though.

I'd like to see a picture one day.

Couple of quick iPhone snaps:




To fit Yondu comfortably, I'll have to reposition Gamora's sword to where she's holding/facing it to her left across her body to enable her to scoot over a bit, and then move Drax slightly foward or backward.

Based on the poses I currently have the others in, I'm thinking a pose for Yondu where he's slightly opening his coat, ready to retreive his arrow, would blend well.

The veins in the paint job around his scalp are mighty impressive. Really full of detail; very rarely does a figure make me go "wow" like this.

Drax looks really good in your second picture.

I agree. Looks fine. I might grab v1 after all if there will be no v2 till the end of year.

Nice pics, thank you.

And I agree, Drax looks "larger" than I usually see him. Did you add ankle pegs or something?

Jumped on the waitlist for this and Gladiator Thor yesterday. DJ gets crossed!

I just cancelled SSC Jack Burton and probably shouldn't just spend the money I would have spent on that immediately...buuuuuuut this looks amazing and we'll never get another one.

Re: 1/6 Hot Toys – MMS - Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2: Yondu Collectible Figure

I was waiting for this to be in stock before ordering, but I saw the regular was wait listed so I begrudgingly ordered the deluxe yesterday morning. Looks like it's a good thing I did. When will the MCU hype from Infinity War die down?

Thanks, bud.

No, he’s 100% stock. The key to getting the most out of him is just to find a pose and angle that minimizes the fail points on the body. Not having him facing straight ahead and not flaring his arms out too much to the side for instance, I found helps hide some of the flaws.
